A beautiful river boat trip!!
The tour with a river boat along the back waters was wonderful.and i was alone! everyone was very helpful and friendly.they served me a delicious meal with plenty of plates.the only negative was that at the end i had some small bananas to eat.at the third banana a lot of ants started to come out.nevertheless it was a great trip!
Operator response
Thank you for your positive comments. We will definitely look into the the report that ants were in the banana. We promise this will not happen again.
