After a delicious lunch, we visited a small village where we were able to see how a local community lives. It reminded me very much of the villages I visited in 2004 when I did this trip for the firstWeiterlesen

Unfortunately, I had to switch hostels for the first night, because there were bedbugs in my room. However, I still managed to get a good night's sleep and my breafkast definately made up for it!
