Die drei angefahrenen Besichtigungspunkte waren gut und schön. Der Fahrer war aber leider der Sache nicht gewachsen. Bei der Anfahrt, wo die Seilbahnfahrt mit verbunden war, mussten die Teilnehmer den Parkplatz bezahlen. Wir haben 5000 LBP zusammengelegt. Im Nachhinein haben wir in der Nähe einen Parkplatz für 3000 LBP gesehen. Er konnte kein Wort Englisch und keine Ortskenntnisse, weil er immer Einheimische jeweils fragen musste, wie er fahren müsste und wo er parken könnte.
