My new number 1 spot in the world

5.00Cool in the morning so may take a light wind breaker with you. May also pack some snacks or a picnic because there is so many areas to sit and enjoy and take in the natural beauty. I would recommend at least half a day if not a complete day to visit. Also the open air museum trails end but worth traveling further down until you reach the nature reserve at the southern part of the island. I went super early and after 11am grab a ticket to the open air museum so your experience intensifies with people dressed and knowledgeable of the times and origins of each building. There was about 6-7 I went to with characters in but I missed a few. Great for all ages, bathrooms available and kiosks as well but they open later around 11am also. I believe a cafe can be found at the entrance. All my worldly travels, this is my number one spot.
