All hotels were okay. All days the package was there when we arrived. For us is 9:00 am to early to set the suitcases ready for transport. Especially if you see at 10 that they are still there. At the last day there was a trainstrike. We noticed ourself but it was good if we get a warming of the tourorganisation.
