Rila Monastery and Bansko with a GREAT Hike!!
... throw at you is that the monastery was founded by St. Ivan Rikki in the 10th century. Our minibus then took us to Bansko which is a ski village. Just like any ski village in the summer, things are pretty slow in town. However, the hiking was ...
Day 2 - Saturday - More Skiing
We spent all day skiing on Saturday, again, the pistes were quite empty, with no lift queues. I made the mistake of trying to ski down the interesting looking run under one of the lifts only to later discover (i.e. when half way down it) that it wasn't ...

Day 1 - Friday - Skiing
After our late arrival, everyone materialized at around 10am, milled around for a while, asked what we were doing, milled around some more, went away, came back and we finally made it to the gondola station at around 11am. Parking was easy, there is a ...
We've Arrived in Bansko!

Hyvä ruoka, parempi mieli!
Tässäpä tämä! Se oli nyt siinä se banskon reissu. Jopa ihan pikkusta aikasemmin tultiin tänään pois rinteistä, kun oli niin saakelin kuuma, ja rinteet menivät melkoiseksi möshjööksi. Sekä jostain alkoi rinteille ilmestyä pienen pieniä ...
Dancing bears

Heipsan! Nyt on pari paivaa tullu laskettua Banskosken rinteita (paitsi Jarmo), notta jonniinverran tutuiksi ovat rinteet tulleet. Matka Banskoskelle sujui muuten ongelmitta, mutta automatka Sofian lentokentalta Banskoon kesti puolisen tuntia kauemmin, ...
Skiing Lesson No. 1
