Sunny beach is a wonderful sunny bright spot and you are guaranteed a lovely sun holiday - temperatures last two weeks of June were hot 27 - 34 with no humidity - prices are great half the price of dublin - great variety of food and places to drink - lots n%26#39; lots fake designer stuff - although even my 13 year old would not buy - extremely FAKE - we went to Varna and bought in the shops a little more pricey - but fashions brilliant. (my poor wallet) Most excursions are great - try the Khan%26#39;s tent, jeep tour, Istanbul trip (very reasonable price - but a very long bus trip)shopping trips are good, don%26#39;t bother with the Bulgarian evening - waste of money.
Country is still in the process of losing its communist roots - hospitals are clearly medeival - ambulance drivers, doctors, nurses do not use latex gloves - handle bloody wounds with bare hands - needles are in sterile wrappers - however used needles are thrown into a large empty plastic water bottle - even in Africa they know the importance of hygene- word of warning - if you have children that have not had a tetnus shot in several years - get it done before you go - my daughter had an accident early in our trip and needed stiches - doctor gave her a tetnus and also told us that if she was swimming in the pool that ANY cut/scratch should be disenfected once she came out of the water?? ohhh I thought chlorine looked after all that! I wish someone had told us on this site. p.s. accident was due to negligence in aqua park - not something stupid by my daughter. Several great Restaurants located on sunny beach - staff are lovely - and really do work for their tips. Booze is cheap - keep away from hotel bars as they charge nearly twice as much as some of the local bars. Entertainment is limited to kareoke and some quite not so good duos /bands - but they do try hard. Change your money in the Crown Exchanges when you get there not at home - you get a far better rate. Don%26#39;t rely on buying anything at duty free at airport going home - very small selection - and prices not cheaper than UK/Ireland although cigarettes are. Well just a brief overview but any other info you want - just ask as I wish I knew more before I went :)

Hi
Glad you had a great holiday, besides your daughter hurting herself. Would you advise any other injection or just the Tetnus as we go in September and my daughter will need them. I better get started on them now
thanks

Hi Yazzoo - speak to your GP surgery about what injections you need. They will have the up to date information as to what is recommended and are the only ones qualified to give out the advice.

Glad you had a nice holiday!
