Lunch przyrządzony i podany przez lokalnych mieszkańców był pyszny, wszyscy bardzo życzliwi. Wycieczka była dobrze zorganizowana a organizator był w stałym kontakcie. Jedyny zarzut mam do przewodnika. Mówił bardzo szybko, bardzo niewyraźnie i miałem wrażenie że powtarza wyuczone na pamięć regułki. Niewiele się dowiedziałem bo niewiele zrozumiałem. Ale generalnie polecam”
