Apparently this was the first and only time the ship came to this port. It was worth the visit and some place I probably would never have seen.We took the Hop On Hop Off bus
Don't Miss: The post office. I would have liked to have seen the Soviet Nuclear Site

Pros: The ports

Cons: The internet service-too slow
