Due to a rainstorm that cought us in the middle of the tour, the route had to be changed a bit, but we were given options as to what can be managed and what not, and in the end the decision was on us. During an amazing 10 day trip through 3 different places / 2 countries, this day was according to my children (aged 12 and 13) the highlight of the trip!”
