Everything turned out perfectly as planned, However the surprise and pleasure of the visit was unique. Everything wonderful, even the café and the refreshment stand in the panoramic terrace on the harbor. Two things to improve in the already excellent conplex picture: * increase the rest stops (chairs) along the way. * provide for the classic "you are here" to get a good sense of how far we have come and how much more to go. For this last point, marketing can help you a lot. Congratulations, Vincenzo
