4.00We only did not stop at the blue Viti Lake with the power plant. Instead, we took a lunch break in a tiny village where there was only a gas station-sized supermarket and a fish and chips shop. That was unnecessary. Our tour guide was very nice and informed us in excellent German. Our tour guide was very nice and informed us in excellent German. I would repeat the excursion at any time.
