what was the communication like ?
Thanks, adampenrith. Had no real issues with communication. Our guide up the mountain was fully fluent in English. I asked for a towel at the hotel reception once, not sure if it was because of my accent, but they only understood when I wrote it down.

Thanks again for another amazing post. I used to think I was good at making the most of a country in a few short days, but you my friend an an absolute expert!
They were definitely super tasty! Can't wait for your Greenland and Iceland reports! I really need to get cracking...
Yep, we only had 4 days with the long Eid weekend so wanted to cram in as much as possible.
Still haven't booked my Canada flights yet, it's a work trip to Quebec City, and the official approval process is taking quite a while.
And yes, the horse was definitely just as tasty as much as they cute/photogenic.

Thank you, hirohito888. Yep, we lucked out and had perfect weather. A bit of rain and cold would have made the mountain climb a bit more difficult too.

did you go to Velingrad as well? from pictures I've seen, it looks beautiful.
Musala trek looks amazing, also it's nice seeing a cable car in the peaks. if there were cable car to the mountain here in Indonesia, it would be a guaranteed environmental disaster
woah, where was that? Greenland?
Cheers, blueferrari. We only had 4 days with the long Eid weekend so Velingrad will have to wait for next time. Yes, I did a sidetrip to Greenland when I went to Iceland for ironmanjt's do.

Thank you, Guvner067. Yes, looks like it would be a great place to go skiing, apparently quite a few ski resorts to enjoy the slopes there.
