by Vasil KolevThe day passed mostly in looking for a cabin for the big anime meeting this July/August. Turned out that there are some changes in the transportation there – buses 61 and 261 aren’t working anymore, instead of them there’s a route taxi 10, that goes from Ruski pametnik to the golden bridges. I was with Aldim and Elica.
The first visited cabin was Iglika. Thinking now, the best description would be ‘children concentration camp’. The place wasn’t really pleasant, there were a lot of people around, and the manager (whose head I had the desire to break) in the first moment started yelling about how I’m taking pictures. Something there really reminded me of the totalitarian times…
(have I mentioned what happens to me when I’m exposed to some screaming kids?)
After that we decided that there was enough time, and went to see the second cabin – Planinec(yes, they really have a web site :) ). We could’ve used the way to Kopitoto, but I was a small sign at a path, and decided that it’s the right way, so in the end we went through a short, but steep, narrow and a bit flooded path (but made it in 25 minutes with the rests). Somewhere in the middle we stopped for me to download the pics from the camera, I was out of card space (my time was divided between chasing away mosquitoes and typing on the keyboard).
The cabin itself turned out to be really nice and cozy, the people there too, and the cooking I’ll be remembering for a long time – their grill was extraordinary :) We looked around, made a reservation, and quietly went back, using the normal way. The views was so great that I seriously started considering moving somewhere in Vitosha, running a net connection to the place, and going rarely to the dirty Sofia (one of the few good things in this city is it’s proximity to such a beautiful mountain :) ).
