Bansko, Bulgaria





















Back from a wicked week of boardin and boozin with our friends in Bansko, Bulgaria. It's a pretty bizarre place - Imagine Austrian Alps with a bit of Bangkok thrown in ;-)

The snow was pretty sweet considering what an average season Europe has had this year - typical spring conditions, some park action and plenty of tree runs with untouched snow to be found considering that everyone else seemed glued to the main piste runs...


The town itself is undergoing major development as it tries to pull itself up to a full european resort standard, which means HEAPS of construction sites (which often look more like bombsites) and every third shop being some kind of developer or real estate shop demanding you to get in quick...


Local wildlife seems to consist of friendly stray dogs and the odd wild horse roaming the street amidst the tavern (Mehana) touts.

Best of all was just having a chance to catch up with some of the UK crew and have a good laugh :-)
Back in London now, and readying ourselves for the journey to come... Iceland and onwards!
