Only two negatives in an otherwise enjoyable trip. 1. The restaurant dinner we had (we ordered a-la-carte) came barely warm, some elements were cold, took too long seeing that we were first in the restaurant and most guests ate buffet. 2. The state of the tar roads and hides in the reverse were very disappointing.
