Thirdly, we actually had a guide as you had promised ,but nobody could hear her to 72 hearing 73 of 74 larger 75 therefore make matters worse, the guided rainforest turned out to be a march. I had not time to enjoy it. Regarding the tropical lunch, we ate Sandwiches instead. In addition, the binoculars you supplied for bird-watching were not enough for everyone. So I hope that you will consider my advice and give half my money back . Looking forward to hearing from you ! Sincerely yours, Tom 答题卡
