Thanks very much.

No we don’t live in Opaka. We just visited the pool there which is great. It’s considered a town but does have quite a village feel to it. There are more shops and restaurants there though than a typical village so it’s a pretty good place to choose to live.

I think it depends when you go. If you go at the beginning of the season and the weather is not quite hot enough it could feel a little cold initially when you first get in the water but I wouldn’t say it’s really cold or anything like that. We didn’t have any issues and we did go quite early on at least one visit. If you want heated pools though you might be better looking at our Sol Nesebar videos as their pools seemed to be heated and a bit warmer but Aqua Paradise had the big Aqua Park so you would lose that as the slides at Sol Nesebar are good but obviously not on the same scale as Aqua Paradise.

The beginning of the season you think start of June or start of July?

@@marketasoukupova3470 I’d say the start is June and should be pretty hot come July.

Yeah she does put up with that to keep Chloe entertained.

From memory they weren’t salty. They seemed quite fresh and not too chlorinated. Just right I’d say.

Yeah they also delayed us getting on the ferry really. We only started boarding once they seemed to have finished. In other ports the lorries just drove off and we boarded quickly but I guess the boat must be smaller or this is a budget option of some kind. Very interesting to watch the guys swivel round and drive either way. Very cool.

Thanks very much. Yes taking care of all three children lol. Good luck with your family.

It’s more of a face tuck for us as it has less premium features than our e70 did. Like no moonroof. Not to mention the leak through the aerial that we had to bodge up. However it does seem to drive much better and smoother than the e70 did. It’s also much cheaper on tax and fuel than the old one or the L322 was. Maybe not on oil though lol. I think there are a few new features in this one too that we didn’t have on the e70 and the idrive is much better and even the newer aftermarket android screens seem really high quality these days although that’s not really relevant. Overall I feel it’s a big improvement over the last one.

It depends what your after. This is softer than a e70 . Its easier to drive and more forgiving over bumps and so on. The e70 especially the lci ones are proper beemers where you get what you get. This shape was designed for a bigger audiance to suit all

I don’t know I’ve been driving BMWs most of my life and it feels very much like a BMW to me.

The f15 doesnt drive nothing like previous bmw's..

We’re not really sure what we’re doing this year. We don’t have anything booked yet. I expect if we do go somewhere we’ll try somewhere new. We went to aqua paradise maybe three or four times in a row. It’s a really cool place and I’m not sure we’ve found anywhere that has all the same facilities but we will probably try somewhere new. Hopefully we haven’t left it too late to find somewhere.

We still have it as we were so worried this car wouldn’t work out and break down on the trip we held on to it rather than have to buy another car again. The jury is still out on the X5 but if it does survive the summer then we will sell the L322.

We just wanted to go a different route to what we've done before really. We've been the the main route more times than we can count. We also had never been to Slovenia or Croatia before so that was also a big draw.

Thanks very much that’s nice to hear. We try to spend as long as we can really but it varies every year for one reason or another. Good luck with the move. I’m sure you’ll love living in BG. If you haven’t bought a place yet just make sure to research the village carefully if you are moving to a village that is. Check with other people in the same village, local Facebook groups etc what the water and electric supply is like especially. We have had issues with water in recent years unfortunately.

@emzfamily I've just bought a house in a village but I think I've been lucky I checked with others I found 1 person who lives there she loves it and says its a fantastic village and a few others who live close by have said the same so hopefully it works out OK it's about 20mins drive from VT so maybe see you guys there in the near future 😊

@@amandamegarry2061 excellent I hope all goes well. I’m sure it will all be fine. Yes we’re not too far from VT. Closer to Ruse but we do like to take trips to VT as it’s a really nice little city with great sights and restaurants.

@emzfamily Hopefully I'll get a we trip to Ruse as well looks a lovely place from watching your videos just can't wait to get over alot to get sorted here first .Well I will let u go looking forward to your next video .Amanda.

@@amandamegarry2061 we just drove over so I will start editing the videos tonight and hopefully new ones will be up soon.

Thanks very much that’s nice to hear. There will definitely be bars showing big matches such as the FA cup final but probably the best bet is sunny beach rather than nessebar but there may still be places there too. Probably not in the hotel though although they may screen the euros so you never know. The other option is a fire tv stick with a VPN app such as expressvpn and just watch it via iPlayer.

Thanks very much. The Osmo Pocket 3 does a pretty good job.

We had a great time on the boat. It’s a relaxing experience really compared with driving down to the channel tunnel and the bigger queues there. We did end up paying quite a bit but I think this is because we booked it unwittingly during school holidays. We loved the buffet at both dinner and breakfast. Found the basic 4 berth cabin to be ideal and a decent size for us too. We’d definitely do it again.

Yeah we had a similar experience to yours regards to tailgating lol. Even in the north of Italy. We had a really bad time to be honest but we think there was some kind of holiday on at the time and all the roads were jammed and we got stuck many times when we weren’t being tailgated, beeped at, undertaken etc lol. We will be going back through Italy again shortly so we’re hoping it’s a better experience this time. Switzerland was great though and we really wished we could have spent a little longer there but actually what we did get was a nice surprise for us.

@@emzfamily thanks for the reply. I find that going through Switzerland in the summer as a means to enter Italy is chaotic as there are so many holiday seekers that are travelling south into Italy and there is always massive queues of traffic as the Gotthard tunnel is always busy. We have sat in traffic for 2-3 hours some years. The top tip is to try and plan your trip so you do this stretch of driving either very early morning or late at night as opposed to during the day when there are more motorists on the road.

I think we did show all the costs as we were going along but might be better next time to show a summary at the end with the complete cost.

Thanks very much. We didn’t pay for the bowling actually. It was free on one of the days of our stay. I expect the same is still true now. Yes there are beaches very nearby in Ravda. 5 mins walk away. Ice cream and slushies are all part of the all inclusive.

Thanks very much

you're welcome@@emzfamily

Hi. I hope you are enjoying England as much as we’re enjoying Bulgaria.

@@emzfamily no England is very dangerous is not safety Country everywhere they selling drugs cocaine cannabis everything and no good country really I'm and my friends we are only here for job for money

Ja, es war wirklich schön

Ich denke, es variiert je nach Monat. Ich würde auf booking.com oder auf Websites für Pauschalreisen nachsehen.

They are not heated pools I don’t think. They may heat it earlier in season but when we went they didn’t really need to heat it.

Thanks very much. Hope it was useful.

Thanks very much. Hopefully it was useful.

Yeah we just used our bank cards. We have one of those accounts that automatically converts the currency using a decent rate with no extra fees. I’d recommend that over using a normal bank card or credit card. Check out Revolut or starling bank.

We went there for a few years in a row and last year was the first time we’d tried anywhere else. Both places were great.we probably will try somewhere new this year but it’s difficult because the resort is really nice so who knows if we will end up changing our mind and going back.

@@emzfamily I’m going here on 25th July this year

In what sense?

@@emzfamily the place looked strange , can’t put my finger on it . Why don’t you guys come to Australia, you be much happier we got lots of Poms here .

That’s quite a long way to go for us but would love to at some point. I guess Varna/Bulgaria can seem like a strange place when you are not used to it but it does become more familiar the longer you spend there. We love the place and have been welcomed in by the locals.

We’ve not tried the last three so must do that. Aladdin inside Kaufland isn’t bad for a takeaway either and of course Hesburger now gives another option.

@@emzfamily Aladdin inside Kaufland is ok... however, the Doner Kibab stall across to road (Technopolis side) between Lidl and Praktis do much better chips. BG is not hot on good service, so take away is an easy option. If you want Pizza "KOTKATA Pizza Bar" is the best in Ruse. I highly recommend their "Dragon Pizza". Very hot and spicy.... unusual for BG. I find much of the local food bland. This dish is an exception. Service is excellent, eat in or take away. Their "Pocahontas Pizza" is a good choice for kids... full of fresh pineapple and sweetcorn. "PRISTAN Restaurant" has amazing service if you want to eat in. Go with what the waiter recommends. I've never been disappointed. Reasonable price, quality cuisine and super service. " TURKISH GRILL KEBAB" is great if you want fast food. Everything is super fresh. Low prices too. "HAPPY" i like too,,,, but it's pricey for what it is. Finding a good eating-out experience in Ruse is not easy. The Bulgarians don't understand quality service and although the food is often fresh and well presented, in my eyes, they don't spice things up too much in the flavour department. Anyhow, enjoy!

I think it’s swings and roundabouts. We’ve been to Turkey and experienced the exact opposite to you. Bulgaria has great beaches too but there are of course ones that are not quite as good. This one isn’t too bad but it’s not perfect. Sunny beach is pretty good though. Same with Turkey it has great beaches but also places that aren’t as good. Bulgaria has free roaming if you still have it with a UK provider whereas Turkey is incredibly expensive for roaming. Ups and downs.

@@emzfamily Ok im gonna search the Hotels that are at the Sunny Beach

@@bd2885 yeah we’ve thought of giving them a go before because you get the bonus of being in sunny beach too so you have the whole town with all the shops and bars and the nice beaches too but still with all inclusive hotels available. The parking has always put us off but that’s not an issue if you’re flying in.

A two night mini cruise sounds cool. This ferry is really cool. We can definitely recommend the buffets. They’re not cheap but the food options are really good. Hope you have a great time.

@@emzfamily I've pre-booked the evening buffet on both nights, costs more than the crossing and bus transfers into and back from Amsterdam 😅 I'm sure we'll enjoy it

That’s pretty crazy. Our crossing was quite pricey compared with the buffet. We never seem to get the good deals but I think we always choose a busy time to travel.

Yes that’s the place. One of our favourite places.

Yeah every time we visit we love it more and more.

At this hotel? If so that’s terrible. We certainly didn’t experience anything like that here. The food was all very high quality. There were tips jars for staff but no one hassled us for money or anything like that. All completely voluntary. Our car was also fine in the car park which if I had a criticism needs to be a bit bigger as it was almost full when we arrived.

Hi great videos, so can you use the all inclusive in all the hotels? Or only the one you are staying in? TIA

Sorry only just seen this question. There are shared areas like the bars which you can use if you are staying at any of the three hotels. Each hotel has its own restaurant which you need to use which is still all inclusive. The palace hotel has a specific pool that only palace guests are meant to use but everyone seems to use the bar at that pool and I’ve seen people also using the pool. Most of the all inclusive facilities are shared between all three hotels though.

I’ve been 5 times in BG and had nothing to complain about it ,sorry for your experience

Yeah it’s definitely a beautiful place. It seems to keep getting better too. We love driving back to the UK through Romania.

You're right!

Thanks very much. That sounds cool. We wished we’d stayed for longer. I’m sure you’ll have a great time.

Thanks very much

Thanks very much

Thanks very much. Glad you liked it.

Cool we hope you have a great time. I'm not 100% sure as I didn't try a mojito but they definitely seem to have non alcoholic versions of most of the cocktails so I think they will. I think Rachel had one that I tried which had mint in it so I would have thought there is a good chance they do.

Excellent, glad you had a good time. It is a nice resort. Definitely one of the better resorts.

She was 18 months old at this time. They have baby and kids pools so you should be all good. Hope you have a nice time.
