“Pick up was right on time and the drive down to Ranua was easy and safe. There was no interaction with Ana in the entire journey and only a brief chat about timings when we arrived. The drive back was just the same. My only issue was that there were 8 of us in the minivan , 2 sat in the front alongside the driver and 6 of us in the back.
