The weather was too bad to make the trek. It was a long way to go to sit on a bus all day. Just a shame.

Good trip Bus was somewhat old and very bumpy road.
Not sure if we were altitude sick or just sick from sitting over the wheel in the back of the bus.
Tip try and sit up front if you can.
Tour guide Adrian was excellent.
