We had a very enjoyable day with Emanuel . He picked us up on time and the journey to the Shai Hills was very comfortable . My friend and I were the only two on this event . Our guide at the Reservation Park was very knowledgeable and he was very happy to take Photos for us . The views from the top of the Hill was worth the climb. We had a very good experience. The man made lake was beautiful. The boat ride was shorter than expected . The lunch was delicious. We both enjoyed it very much .
