Although I think the guides tried their best the route they chose was very conservative, following mostly the coast. The forecast was for clouds along the coast, and I’m not sure why we didn’t go inland where it was clear. In the end we saw nothing. We were mostly just on the bus. The company promised a 50% discount for the next trip but they were full for the next day. It wasn’t very useful I felt. All in all a wasted night.
