got back Tuesday and a few people have asked me questions about prices etc so will do my best here. excuse my ramblings.

Money:
nationwide gave me 2.208 on cash through the wall and debit transactions.
banks were advertsisnig about 2.1-2.2. bizarrely the best we saw was in old nessebar.

Cigs:
malboro silver were about 4lev in St Vlas.

Booze (supermarket):
Bottle of Flirt (local) vodka was 8 lev in St vlasa bit more down in sunny beach.
Huge bottle of beer (2 lt i guess) -2.90 in st vlas
Wine (rose) was 11 for decnt ish bottle in St vlas

Cabs: i found a good river who was not a rip off merchant. Mikchael is his name - if you want his number pm me. he's based in st vlas but picked us up wherever we got too lazy. only charged 15lev from vlas to s beach and only 20 lev from vlas to Old nessebar.
His brother "Miro" also works around there and is based in S beach right on Flower street. excelent english speaker and taught me a bit more bulgarian.

Bus: took a few times - was always 1 lev from far end of S beach to vlas.

Beaches:
Vlas was being flattend out by the diggers first day but is now flat and beautiful. bars still putting out tables and doing minor rennovations. we had it too ourselves all week excpt for the weekend.
Sunny beach - only went on final day and was really busy by the "pier" but not all sun longers out yet. still 7 lev in centre for a padded lounger

restaurants: there were more but can't remember names etc -
Vlas + marina:
"tepaha": shocked on enrty to discover the burberry tablecloths. we were slightly amused bu not put off. can't remeber the prices as got hammered that night and god knows where the recipt went. Food was good though. about 30lev for 2 plus drinks i think.
"Central bar"(opposite the square from tepaha up some stairs).
2nd day rained so we ran in fo shelter and ended up staying all day and night and returning a few times. service great! coctail menu great and prices very cheap.
4.5 for a massive tune salad i recall.
large pizza about 7lev
coctails about 5-6lev but very good - the missus was very impressed.
beer - 2.2 lev for a large kamenitza or becks draught.

marina:
salt + pepper bar/grill -we thought as we'd saved a bit of cash eating in some nights we would go to the marina and splash the cash. still didn't need to and had the most amazing meal and paid about £40 all in with wine, starter , main and they gave us a free dessert. i cannot rave about this place enough. the desert was beyond eceptional. 4 mini deserts, a sponge, a lemony pudding, slice of a chocolate cake but was more like a moose, and a cheese cake slice. All very very tasty and FREE!
Service was great and a very posh looking place.
the lady had steak this time which was better than djannys she said. i had sea bass which again was very very good.
It was more than most places in vlas and SB but If you are hapy to pay country pub prices form the UK then i would really reccommend this place for you.

S beach:
Djanny's - service and fod exceptional as always- the guy said he reckognised me from last year. steak was amazing as was the turbot.
steak was about 27lv i think. everything else very reasonable.
fat cats - only went in to wacth reading lose in the playoffs but had a pizza and friedn chicken with the lady. Pizza was great but chicken overdone. very hospitable people though who sorted out the back bar just for us away from the celtic game.

a bit dissapointed couldn't find anywhwer doing 1lv a beer this year but it's def was the very start of the season.

that's all i can remember for now.

any questions?
