Hi

Thanks to Raphael for all the work. In general I really like the
proposal.

I think 5 options are OK. Maybe we can reduce this to 4 options. We also
have to consider that most of these attractions can only take a limited
number of people at the same time. Maybe beside the hiking option we
could also have a mountain bike option. If we find a place to rent
bikes.

Having not all coaches depart at the same time sounds like a good idea.
But as Raphael say it's not only about shoping but also to visit the
buskers festival. For this 1h is quite short (it only starts at 17h) .
So maybe we could take the boat 1 hour later?

I volunteer for the hiking options. I can also help with other stuff if needed.
