    Het contact met een lokale familie is echt top. Ook het koken met de moeder was leuk/gezellig. Fijn dat het gezin best wel goed Engels sprak. Jammer was dat onze gids na het eten vertrok ( hij had gevraagd of dit goed was) en dat de moeder ons weg bracht naar het hotel. Alleen ging zij eerst nog even wat huishoudelijke dingetjes doen en zich opfrissen. Terwijl eigenlijk maar zaten te wachten tot we zouden gaan.
