| It became
a common practice to recommend the quests routes of interest. We find
that is not very wise idea not only because certain places get realy
crouded with no possibility to berth in high season but this seems
to "obligate" the guests and keep their discovering spirit on minimum.
And in country with 1000 islands it would be a real shame. Take following
notes as useful tips for we don't know weather you're looking for
quite bays with no inhabitans, national parks, if you're gourman and
admirer of good wines or simply in search of rich night life. |
