Z jednej strony, czujesz się zmotywowany, by odkrywać więcej, a z drugiej - przytłoczony pięknem natury. Ciekawe, czy w najbliższym czasie będą jakieś wycieczki z przewodnikiem, bo sama wędrówka po okolicy to jedno, ale spotkania z kimś, kto zna te historie - to było by coś! Masz może jakieś informacje na ten temat?
Кстати, интересно, как долго туда идти, если вы меняете планы и хотите провести там больше времени?
