Everything was wonderful, the food, the organization of all the events, and the guides, who were both knowledgeable and upbeat. I truly enjoyed every part of the experience. Even the weather treated us kindly, with a perfect mix of sunshine and clouds. But as the saying goes, there's no such thing as bad weather, only a bad mood, and the mood on this trip was always at its best!!!
