The view here was breathtaking.

We were here for a while.

It was raining when we were there.

If it was not raining, the view would be even better.

Hubby loved this place.

Just let the pictures do its job...

Ok.

I think that is enough.

We were stranded at this place for about one hour because we missed the bus

I was bored...

Not the kind of dessert that I appreciate.
