We rested in Bansko from the 21st to the 28th of January. Road The bus of the Bulgarian company WELT turned out to be old, not very clean and without a toilet. We were told that good new buses are not released on Ukrainian roads (it's a pity to spoil it).
Our journey to the ancient Mayan city of Quirigua began in Puerto Barrios (a typical small Latin American town). The standard of living in Guatemala (in my superficial opinion) is no higher than in Ukraine.
The banal cancellation of the flight and the delay for a day did a good job - the opportunity to visit Washington. Getting from Dulles airport to the center was very easy, fast and inexpensive.
We also tried "short" rafting. That is, multiple overcoming of individual thresholds. In principle, what is offered by firms in no advertising is the threshold "Integral" - the longest and most picturesque.
Here, we tried domestic rafting))). And I advise others. Rafted along the route Migeya - Ivanovsky bridge (Pervomaisk region). Used the services of Wildtour. We felt like VIPs - we (and only us - a family of 3 people) were waiting on the bank of the river in the agreed place.
I've never used an audio guide before, so I decided to give it a try. It was not the first trip to Valletta and it seemed that everything had already been bypassed, but .
What is of interest to the tourist is the center and the Praia da Rocha beach resort area, where the beach and hotels are located, with all the associated infrastructure (cafes, restaurants, casinos, etc.
A river (stream? ) flows under the lifts. There are ski lifts on the left bank. From the hotels that are located in the valley of this river, it is very close to the ski lifts.
We started with theoretical preparation. We printed out Google maps of the island and extracts from guidebooks (Wikipedia and tour sites). We started from the Eastern part of the island - Grande-Terre.
