A few mates have asked if I want to go Paragliding in April to Bulgaria.

Whats it like?

I have barely heard of the country let alone what goes on there, whats it like for prices etc?

any stories from there

 

its meant to be dirt cheap, a friend of the family goes every year he wants to retire there so make of it what you want

 

what uncle?

Nice one G, so its a cheap as fook 3rd world country then

Sounds classy

No idea where were going, but i presume we will be jumping of big hills with big kites tied to our backs

 

I spent about an hour in Sofia, hated it, wanted to go home
Spent what seemed to be a lifetime gettin to the other side of the country (Varna) and was in love with the place.
Scenery is fantastic, the locals mainly live off the land, food is spot on though even though you cant read the menu's

The country has alot of history as the greeks/Romans n all that invaded at 1 time or another and some of the buildings are pure fantastic.

In the larger towns you will find alot of beggers, dont look em in the eye or they just follow and myther you to death. In the smaller villages the locals are really friendly.

Dead cheap, only holiday I've come back from with money to change back.

Watch out for pirate CD's though, I bought some and they were crap when I got them home.

Iv been there , went snowboarding last year, its the poorest place iv ever
been to, and the cheapest. The resort i went to was the prettest iv ever
seen, but i didnt like children begging on the streets. when i say cheap a
meal out with drinks cost about Ł6, clothes cds and dvds real cheap but all
snides.

 

He'll feel at home then tiny, sounds just like Manchester
