OSI - Slatino
SofiaLand! It
was a long day, as we left Slatino at 8:30 in the morning, traveled 2
hours by bus to Sofia, and then another 20 minutes by taxi to SofiaLand.
The return was the same, only we stopped in Dupnitza where the kids were
all fed dinner and more ice-cream. We finally arrived in Slatino at 10 pm, 13 1/2 hours
after we had left! It was also a HOT
day, so the log-ride was the most-frequented and functioned quite well in
keeping everyone cool. The kids behaved perfectly and
had a GREAT time! It is certainly a day that they will remember for
a long time. Below are lots of photos so that you can share the day
with us. Enjoy! Click on the

On
22 July, 2004, OSI-Bulgaria took 12 of our best-behaved Slatino kids to
SofiaLand, -Sofia's wonderful new, modern amusement park. It's not a
big place, with about 20 rides total, but it's a wonderful place for the
kids to visit and there's enough there to spend the entire day.
