So, a bit late, here's another post.
It's been three weeks. Three long ass weeks.
I've been busting my ass at work, trying to fix an elusive bug in a very complex system under strict time constraints, to no avail.
Last Thursday (16/01), Our appartment took flight towards Bansko, Bulgaria.
This was my first vacation abroad with my love, her first time seeing snow, and first time going skiing.
I think it all in all, the vacation was a success, although we had our share of ups and downs, and I'm not talking about the slopes.
We flew with Bulgaria Air, the crew and food was very nice, but god damn there was no leg room at all.
After a long flight, and a long drive in an overly heated shuttle, we reached our hotel.
Our hotel looked very nice, leather sofas in the lobby with a big aquariuam wall and pwetty pwetty fishes.
The bad part was our rooms, the "deluxe suites", were located in a different part of the hotel, which required going through 3 cases of stairs, two long corridors and an elevator.
We unpacked our luggage at the room, and went looking for food in the cold of the night.
We found a cool Pizza/Schawarma place that had both vegeterian pizzas for my love, and pepperoni pizza for me, Each slice was about 7 NIS. So cheap!
We sat there for a while, eating our pizza, when a group of 3 drunk British teens entered.
They seemed to put on a macho show for the girls outside and the Pizza clerk, but we saw them touching eachother's butt secretly.
Day one went like a breeze.
Hotel food wasn't tasty at all.
I ate some tasteless scrambled eggs, some creamy white cheese, bread with butter and jam, and some vegetables.
Even the cereal wasn't tasty for me. I mean, how can that be?!
We went on to Ski Rental place (holy hell it's hot in there), and the girls rented their equipment.
(Later we found out babe got the wrong size boots, which hurt her feet so bad she could barely walk)
Inside the Gondola, up the mountain we go. My baby's soo excited from the view and snow it makes my heart smile.
We escort the girls to their lesson, and go bombing the slopes. The snow conditions aren't great. No new snow has fallen the site or slopes for over a dozen days; only 5 slopes are open - but we blaze through them.
It's good to be back on the mountain - especially one I know already. I feel calm and at peace there.
Going back to the hotel, we went straight to the Spa, to fix our aching body.
On the second day, we took the girls to the higher slopes after their lessons - this was a bad idea.
The girls lacked confidence in riding down a steeper slope than the one in their lessons, which ended in lots of falls, loss of confidence, bad mood and more. This led us to walk down half of the slope and then use my snowboard as a sled.
Suprisingly, using the snowboard as a sled was great fun, but almost made us miss the last-call gondola to town, which ment sledding about 7Km.
Third day was divided into two.
The pure awesome part, where everyone was happy, snow conditions improved for a bit (More slush, less ice) which opened up a few more slopes - we even hit a few kickers.
My baby overcame her insecurity and the gloomy mood that fell on her after the second day, and started shredding for real.
After we conqured the mountain, we conqured the a local bar name Amigo which had great food at low prices. (OM NOM NOM)
Then came along the horrible part.
Our shuttle to Sofia Airport took forever, over three and a half hours, which is longer than the flight time.
After reaching the airport, we found out our flight was delayed.
Reaching back home was a trouble as well; We missed our train back by 2 minutes, which caused us to wait an hour for the next one, and then, the Gate where we parked the car was closed, so we had to take a taxi to the car.
