“Der Vulkan ist leider gar nicht mehr als solcher zu erkennen. Zu Beginn der Fahrt 2 Stopps bei einer Modellschiffproduktion und Rumverkostung, beide mit Verkaufsshop für alles mögliche, kann man sich sparen. Sophie Nature Walk war nett, Ganga Talao mit den riesigen Statuen, Tempeln etc. jedoch beeindruckend. Leider war die Teefabrik geschlossen, wo wir eigentlich als Ziel der Reise die Produktion sehen wollten, Schade. Eine Vorab-Information wäre schön gewesen. Museum und Teeverköstigung okay. Restaurant war wohl ausgebucht, daher Weiterfahrt zum Adventure-Park mit Essen dort auf dem Gelände, ein weiteres Highlight.
