Good value for money, punctuality…
Good value for money, punctuality very satisfactory this time.
Boarding and disembarking are moments…
Boarding and disembarking are moments of profound solitude... Between waiting on the boat upon arrival (herded like cattle for nearly 2 hours before being able to access the vehicles) and the administrative maze, it takes about 4 hours: It's truly unbearable!!!
