Borovets Day 4

Today we woke up at 8:15am. Got dressed and went down to breakfast. Today I had some corn flakes with warm milk. Some fried bread with a fried egg and a piece of cake with some jam. Today I had a coffee because I needed the boost to get me going this morning and an apple juice. Then back to the room for 10minutes. Grabbed my jacket, sunblock, money and glasses. It doesn't look like a goggles day. Not snowing at the moment and barely snowed over night. I really hope the green run is open today and that's where we are going this morning...nope, still closed, the lift is open leading to the blue run but not the green. Apparently we are meant to have fresh snow over night with a bit of wind. We met Val and started out on the nursery slope, we then crossed the nursery slope, I was thinking we were going to Potata we did yesterday but nope...instead he took us to Iglika, a blue slope in the middle of both the slopes I had already skied. It was quite scary. The button lift was quiet steep and coming down was very fast. For that reason mum decided to stay at the bottom of the blue run and work up a bit each time. We had lunch at a little quaint restaurant over the road from our hotel. Me and mum shared an Americano pizza and a portion of chips. After lunch, even though me and mum protested, we went up the gondola. I love the ride up but after the disaster of last year (mum falling and it was covered in ice) we didn't want to go. But we were pleasantly surprised, the snow was perfect. Nice and powdery and soft. We did the Rusk green run a couple of times, then mum stayed there while the remainder of us (the ones who didn't to down to collect kids) did Markudjik, a blue run. Getting down to the blue was scary. It as really steep and icy in places. The button lift in this run was very fast and steep. I normally don't hold on but I was clinging on with both hands for dear life. It may have been fast but it was so fun, so much so that I giggled all the way up. Getting off was pretty sketchy as right in front of me a snowboarder fell off at the end. Then the run down was pretty awesome. It was slow and steady to start but had to go really fast with parallel skis at the end to make it back onto the green run that mum was on. Then onto to travelator, which mum fell off last year and injured her back. This time was better because there were men to help you on and off. Obviously other people fell off last year. We were almost at the end when the travelator stopped. We had to walk the rest of the way. Back on the gondola down. Then the worst part. Having to walk back up the high street back to Rila1. It was easier then last year because we took it at out own pace and there was no snow on the road. We handed back our gear and went for a hot chocolate, the best way to end a days skiing. Back to the hotel to relax. I showered. Then down to dinner of salad to start. Grilled steak, scrambled egg with spinach and chips. Dessert was little love cakes, yoghurt with kiwi sauce, a kiwi and the gorgeous little pastries with mince meat and spices, delicious, we fell in love with them last year in the Bor. We had a coffee, we asked for large but still not big enough. Can't wait for a proper coffee when I get home. Back to our room to grab our coats and off out. Yep we went out at night. We went to watch the ski instructors and a demo team do some stunts and skiing. It was pretty good. Fireworks were really close, probably because we didn't pay, we gate crashed and stood further down the mountain. It was skiers and snowboards. The best part had to be when the instructors pretended to be beginners, they were falling all over the place and crashing. The announcer kept saying stuff like "open you tails, close your tips", "parallel skis", all the sayings that the ski instructor use on us. Back to the hotel room to watch cartoons on Boomerang. I did a few puzzles. Then I watched the last 3 episodes Flying Heavy Metal presented by Bruce Dickinson. Then off to bed at 12:30am.
