THE EXPEDITION STAFF WERE MUCH, MUCH BETTER THAN I EXPECTED. ALL OF THEM HAD INCREDIBLE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FLORA, THE FAUNA, THE GEOLOGY AND THE HISTORY OF THE AREA. THEY WERE VERY COMMITTED TO SAFETY. ALL STAFF WERE GOOD. THE FOOD WAS OF A MUCH HIGHER QUALITY THAN I WAS EXPECTING, AND I COMPLIMENT YOU ON THAT. THE CABINS WERE MUCH LARGER THAN I WAS EXPECTING AND VERY COMFORTABLE. THE SHIP WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND FUNCTIONED BEAUTIFULLY
