how to get there when you lost the last tour bus? | tommymet Thu Apr 24, 2008 22:38 UTC
when were you last there, 1962? I was there in the spring of 2008, it was nothing at all like that. Large ferry that boarded from the pier. | traveldave Fri Jun 30, 2006 17:55 UTC
In its own way, that is a beautiful area, despite its stoniness and lack of trees. |
