Ok guys spoke to my Parents the other day after the peak recce and i mentioned the idea of a group of us driving over having a bit of a short break and driving back again and taking in some local routes and stuff.
Dad just called to say that he'll allow me full use of the farm and barn conversion for 2 weeks next august so ive got 8 double rooms to fill all it will cost you is food, fuel , ferry or tunnel crossing and beer money, or for those single guys travelling put some aside for a whore or two :D.
Just to give you some idea of prices dad sent me this.

Average monthly salaries in Bulgaria are in the 150-200 Euro range.





A breakfast in an ordinary restaurant costs about 4 leva (approx. £1.40 ),
a dinner - 10 leva (approx. £3.60), and supper - around 15 leva (approx. £4.50).
Water in Bulgaria is usually good to drink. Irrespective of this mineral water is sold
everywhere and is of exclusively good quality, factory-bottled and duly sealed.
One-litre bottle of mineral water costs 0.80 leva (approx. £0.30). Everywhere on sale are also natural
juices without preservatives, manufactured by Bulgarian and foreign producers.The Bulgarian
juices cost no more than 2 leva (approx. £0.80) a litre and the imported ones cost around 3 leva (approx. £1.50).





Tea and coffee is offered everywhere in the country. Boza, an Arab boiled-grain
drink popular in Bulgaria is also widely sold. Fresh milk, obligatorily
pasteurised, is sold in a wide diversity of packaging. Beer, locally brewed
(33cl bottle of beer: 0.90 leva (approx. £0.40) ) and imported is very popular, either tapped
or bottled. The products of Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Bulgarian soft drinks can be
found in every food or specialised shop.





Alcoholic drinks are on sale in most food shops, and in numerous specialised pubs.
The price of a 0.75 l bottle of good dry wine varies between 4 (£1.40) and 6 leva (£2.00).
The price of a 0.5-litre bottle of rakiya varies between 3 (£1.00) and 15 leva (£4.50),
depending on the quality of the product, the manufacturing technology
and the region of origin.


The trip is open to the usual crew first so if your intrested let me know.
 
Each room in the barn can hold 4 people the 4 farm rooms 2 have doubles 2 have bunks so 2 of the farm rooms sleep 4 if that makes sense, and if things do get tight then there the living room.
