Tolle Erfahrung mit Nervenkitzel

Eine tolle Tour trotz Regen mit einem netten Guide . Es war sehr interessant und es gab auch einige Erklärungen . Schade, dass man nur ein Video mit Fotos für 35$ kaufen könnte . Ich hätte gern nur 1 oder 2 einzelne Fotos gehabt . In Acaroa gab es die Fotos als Service ...
