I really enjoyed this trip. Some of the hills/mountains were perhaps a bit more of a challenge than I expected, but being challenged is good, or else I can stay at home and go for a walk in the park! The landscapes are stunning and the spring flora, which was the reason I chose this week, was all that I hoped. Our last walk, which our guide Mike only discovered last year was just lovely, ending with a picnic lunch next to a waterfall.Show more
