It is a shame that on a Sunday we could not redeem the tickets at the stall as the person was eating for hours.

We loved the freedom of the card. Not having to worry about having change to get on the transport and also not having to get tickets to the attractions was also excellent.

Way too expensive just to visit the monastery Apart from the beauty of the building, there's nothing to look at, no works of art or anything else, and the monastery is so small that the price is unjustified.
