Summary:
Veronica had a lot of interesting information about the region which made the tour a learning opportunity we relished. She gave us tips on where to eat and more importantly, where not to!
Unfortunately the ferries weren’t running as the sea was too rough so we went by train. We were joined by a very nice American couple so it was a great experience for us.
