Great captures from your open-top bus ride. I would love riding on one of those, especially with all that beautiful scenery.

You got some great pictures from your open top bus. You certainly had a beautiful place to explore, and I like your photos of the trees and flowers. All the houses on the mountainside were interesting, but I prefer less crowded scenes.

I do think an open bus is the best way of seeing a place. The one we did in Monte Carlo was great.

Phenomenal scenic shots, Stewart ! The flowers and trees look very similar to what's here in Florida, but it's flat as a pancake here. Love those mountains !
