There is basically nothing but some tourist center and, well, pretty cliffs. When it was time to return, a couple was simply gone. Big search, public announcment on the whole area, no clue. After like an hour, we had to leave without them, and the police was still searching for them with helicopter and stuff. On the way back, our bus driver did a quick stop, to tell us that they found them. They were chillin in the cafe the whole time.

PerseusRad 04/04/24 2:34:52 PM #37:	Yes. Its not to say they didnt deserve it, but it seems very frustrating. I dont think the ship should turn around, but that doesnt mean I cant feel bad for them at the same time. <cite>PerseusRad posted [p:979730623] in Do you fee... [t:80738663]...</cite> <quote>Yes.

joaquintall 04/04/24 2:50:33 PM #41:	Probably... some circumstances even with the best intentions can go awry. Almost happened to me - in Beijing, about 2.5 hrs from the port. 4:00 rolls around and the ship says all aboard by 8:00. We start heading back. Need a cab to get to where our tour guide is parked. FORTY FIVE MINUTES to get a cab. We get to the tour guide's car, it's Beijing during rush hour, there is most definitely going to be a traffic jam. We get to the highway (where it would then be clear sailing) around 6:00 (do the math). Our tour guide starts doing 180 in a 120 zone (kph). We get there with 15 minutes to spare. They are calling our emergency contact (4 am back home), we don't have passports. We would have been truly f'd, especially with the next port not being for 3 days. So having been in such a close call, yeah, I would feel bad for someone who was legitimately trying to get back, but got stuck due to circumstances they hadn't anticipated. <cite>joaquintall posted [p:979730898] in Do you fee...
