Winter Wonderland

by neilward - last update: Mar 8, 2009

Luxurious way to relax

All over Bansko theres building work going on,everywhere you look theres developments going up,some more finished then others.
Most of the building work is nearly finished now and the town looks less like a building site.
The people we spoke to seemed to think the new builds will increase in value,but the food,drink and other amenities will stay at reasonable prices,which I feel is good for both tourists and locals alike.
tch,,Bloomi` tourists again !!!

Two of the locals

We saw these lovley little old ladies just sta watching the world go by,miding their own business,so Maria asked if she could take a picture,they didnt seem to mind,especially when Maria gave one of them 5 euros,and the other one put her hand out then asking for some.
It was an expensive,but lovely photo. !!!!
Up we go...

Beautiful Bansko

This lovely traditional Bulgarian town set in the Pirin mountains,its about 60 miles from Sofia.
It was our first to Bulgaria and we`re very impressed by the beautiful countryside,very similar to the UK.We saw fields of sunflowers that had been scorched in the summer sun,bet they would`ve looked glorious.
The people we met we`re very friendly and full of pride for their country,and wanted to know about us too.
