The trip did not leave the south as planned and I wasn’t sure what to make of this at first. The staff reached out to me immediately and switched to the north side trip and fit me in. It cost an extra 20 Euro and I was sure how it would be but when I arrived it exceeded all expectations. This trip is one of the highlights of my life. I lived and lived every second!
