Creator's Key Takeaways
We are again getting off on sort of high alert getting everything nice and safe zip pockets and again being aware of pickpockets and being aware of all the hard sell and everything that's going to be going on.
We got it down to 90 which I don't know still is a good deal or not but uh I just want to get going sort of things.
Must say I'm not exactly blown away. Not compared to Athens and Rome and places.
That has got to be right up there. Probably joint f with the Bahamas. Beautiful water, temperature amazing, views amazing.
