“The places we visited were great, tho some more warning about how slippery the floor is in The Animal cave might be needed. a few of our group turned back. The food for lunch was really good and the Rum punch and banana cake excellent. Dario was very good but had a bit of trouble with his microphone. Overall, very enjoyable trip.”
