Super Tour!

Leider etwas kurz, wir hätten den ganzen Tag weiterfahren können, aber eine super Tour! Wir hatten eine Menge Spaß beim 7 Meter Wasserfall, beim Wasserfall runterschwimmen, Welle surfen und sonstigen Späßen. Die Guides waren alle super nett und insbesondere unser Guide Chrissty war natürlich besonders gut. ;-) Die Fotos kosten 40$ die bei unserer Gruppe einer gekauft hat und wir haben das Geld geteilt und den Link an alle verschickt. Rückblickend wäre es uns das Geld aber auch wert gewesen komplett zu zahlen. Denn wir haben 73 Fotos bekommen. Da könnte man auch über 40$ bei zwei Personen nicht meckern. Unbedingt empfehlenswert!
