Beautiful scenery. Our guide, Paul, was absolutely great. The locals were welcoming, really nice & friendly. Would recommend to forgo hostels & go w hotel or b&b accommodations. Plan for rain - expect to be damp - a lot! So take precautions against catching colds. Also expect a lot of destinations to be “just a short 5-10 minute walk away”. And expect in multi story buildings you will be dealing with stairs so think about what you’re willing to lug up & down when packing. In most places the super helpful & friendly staff will cheerfully assist you, tho.
