Not so. The front desk simply pointed at a photo of the portly station chief and said i need to ...

... with about 30 other travellers which was surprising as we expected more. The ferry is a cargo ferry that takes tourists also as it can take up to about 250 passengers. Our cabin was small no window and had 4 bunks. Thankfully we didn't have to share as that would have been way cramped. It was sardine like even with 2 of us. The ferry is expensive for 3 nights 4 days and includes all meals. We paid 600 US for a quad share inside cabin no window. The dorm bunks were fine ...

... down the river, I had to cover my face with my buff and hide my eyes behind my sunglasses, despite the absence of sun, purely for wind protection.

For lunch on the bus we had two sandwiches, one on square loaf bread with the edges neatly trimmed and one on a hamburger bun, both- you guessed it- with ham and cheese in the center. It's enough to make you go on a fast, or go on a slow, conserving energy to conserve calories so as not ...

... a lake on a regular basis, film it (you don't have to wait too long before the next piece crashes down), and there you have it: 'concrete proof' of global warming! He just forgets to mention that this particular glacier has been very active for centuries and that glaciers' retreat and expansion have been occurring in cycles for billions of years.
