“Essen bei Maria war toll. Ansonsten etwas ernüchternd. Uns sollte gezeigt werden wie Käse hergestellt wird. Wurde nur erzählt statt gezeigt. Das Dorf beim Stausee haben wir aus dem Auto heraus nur aus der Ferne gesehen. Spaziergang mit Ziegen fand nicht statt und als Krönung musste jeder 10€ für die Weinkelterei bezahlen. Wieso eigentlich? Das hat sich niemand in der Gruppe erklären können. Das war keine 10€ wert. Man kam sich ziemlich abgezockt vor.”
