Es war einfach atemberaubend! Der Reiseführer war super, hat viel erklärt (Geschichtliches, Natur, Kulturell, religiös, Umgebung….) und war mega sympathisch. Wir konnten eine Orangen Plantage besichtigen, waren in 2 historischen Bergdörfern und konnten 2 einheimische Häuser besichtigen, wir waren in einer Schule, Moschee, der Höhle und haben einige stops an Panorama Aussichtspunkten gemacht. Es war ein krönender Urlaubs Abschluss und wir können es nur jedem empfehlen!
