    Not fckin likely drunk nevermind hungover, a nice river cruise with bar on board would be welcomed something like a Rhine cruise - nothing too strenuous you just sit there and the scenery passes you by

    Few quick questions:

    1) We dont arrive into Sofia until 2.50am on Thurs night/Fri morn. Will there be plenty of taxis running from the airport at that time? Will your bar be open?
    that could be the same flight as us. we booked our hotel through www.sofiahotels.net and they organised for a taxi to pick us up upon arrival. think they charge €20

    For any late bookers, the summary thread is now updated to everything up to page 24 of the thread. Will definitely get it finished this week (and I know I said that last week!)

    I think I only have 1 post a day so heres some answers to some of the questions.

    The money changing place on Vitosha bvd opens at 9 in the morning and closes at 9 at night.

    Its just on the side street before pizza palace restaurant 5 metres down.

    With regards to tourist activities it depends. If you have time you could go up to the mountains on the cable car or chair life, some small restaurants up there and walking trails but .... I cant see that happening with hangovers etc somehow!

    In the city itself theres not a lot to see, u will notice this yourselves when you arrive.

    PLaces to meet before the match, a good idea would be NDK park at the top of vitosha bvd where they have outdoor bars about 5 or 6 small ones but the park is big so maybe a perfect meeting place or eagles bridge which is down past the stadium, there is a small man made lake there wit restaurants bars, paddle boats etc.

    A copy of your passport or licence is fine.

    I would walk to the stadium on Saturday as the roads will be blocked off by the police, it will be much easier. 20 minutes maximum.

    With regards to clubs to try, there are some good ones. The bouncers wont set on you at all but if you give them an excuse they will do their job.

    For live music the Swinging hall is very good, back and front stage venue, 5 euros to get in. Its in Lozenets area, 5 leva in taxi from centre.

    For techno, chervillo, dont like this crap but people seem to go there for some strange reason.

    If you want to see a different type of lucb go to Sin city, its turbo folk club, huge not too cheap but I think it should be visited if you want to see some of the most beautiful women in the world. Not my scene either but a must to be seen even for a drink!

    If you want a whole area of clubs together go out to Student city which is 10 mins outside sofia, 9 leva in a taxi, full city of students and booze here is some places is very cheap and its rammed with students. Clubs there include the viper rooms, jim bean and many more!

    Beware fake alcohol, if ur drinking spirits and they odnt taste right assume its fake and hand it back, fake whiskey hangover not nice, believe me!

    A lot of bars close about 2 or 3 but there are places that are 24 hours, mr piza, ugo on vitosha bvd, happy bar and grill.

    We are flexible normally!

    Enjoy.

    I've had a look at the NDK park and it looks good but it would be even better if there were pubs around it - are there? Is there a square near your place where we could congregate and have access to pubs etc during Saturday.

    Good news on the money front as well. Our crew not arriving in to Sofia until 22.15 on Thursday so we will probably need some local stake money as the bureau is unlikely to be opened when we get in to the centre of the city.

    A few other questions:

    1. How long does it take to get from the airport to the city centre
    2. Is there/will there be transport on the Saturday from the city to the stadium
    3. Will a copy passport be OK for ID purposes
