Rustic outing
senhorinho123, September 2026
What a crappy trip!!! It's starting to leave, because it goes from hotel to hotel picking up people and a lot of people are very late. Then you sit inside a bus, the biggest sun rolling, and you only visit some historical places, well, very boring ones. It takes TOO long everywhere. It's such a bore! Tiring, boring, dull walk, rustic places, horrible!!! Zero note. I hated it. Leave the hotel at 07:15 and only arrive at 16:00. It was the most annoying and idiotic thing I have ever done in MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!!!
