"I had a wonderful day and as a solo
traveler.."
Ganz ehrlich, ich war echt beeindruckt von Adi, sein Englisch war wirklich gut, also gab es keine Probleme
beim Sprechen. Er ist mit mir gekommen und hat sichergestellt, dass es mir gut geht und ich gut geleitet
bin. Er hat mir ein ziemlich charmantes Restaurant gefunden, einen Ort, den ich alleine niemals gefunden
hätte. Das Essen war so lecker und der Preis fair.

Well I was impress with Adi, his english was really good so they were no problems speaking. He came with me
and make sure I was ok and well directed. He found me a restaurant quite charming, a place I wouldn't have
be able to find by myself, the food was so good and the price fair.
