They were supposed to pick us from the hotel. The pick up was by foot to the Opera. Than we were taken by a very crouded bus to a gathering point. The place was caustic no one knew which bus he is supposed to mount. That whole part was very poorly managed. Further the trip was nice although we could not get off the bus until we arrived the boat and there were places we wanted to see on the way. The monastery was very beautiful and was worth the trip.
