The story

What can I say.... perhaps I expected a little more from this trip.... We saw some certainly wonderful places, but perhaps the organisation was not flawless (Enjoy Tour)... too many hours by car between one transfer and the next... too much time wasted.... After 5/6 hours by car you arrive at your destination, and however beautiful the place may be, how can you enjoy it? You are shattered....

Anyway, perhaps the pictures speak more than words... the landscapes were certainly suggestive and I hope to convey the idea with the photos I have published.

Always and in any case, HAPPY TRAVELS to everyone!!
