This was a lovely day... - This was a lovely day tour with Richard! We were picked up right on time in a nice clean car, and communication before the tour was great. The day was paced really nicely. We started learning about the weaving, and this was a great spot for picking up some textiles. Then learning about the agriculture. Some scenic photo stops, and then to the salt mines. Maras was very beautiful with it’s salt pools. The road to Moray was under construction, so I chose not to do the walk in the strong sun to the site. So off to the lake we went…. We did see some flamingos! It was a great private tour that we highly recommend!
