- AKaren· June 30th, 2023With so much wet weather and missing great views and attractions in terms of actually being able to see them, there were no "wonderful" or "once in a lifetime" experiences. Visibility on occasions was zero and the bad weather took away the enjoyment or the potential to see great places.Show moreTrip date: June 2023Review collected by Explore!
