smandkjc 19:15 UTC 18 Jun 2008 | Most of the sights are fairly close to the road anyway but you would not want to get off the bus to view the sights and then wait for the next bus as you could be there for some time. We usually just hire a taxi for the day, they are cheap and you can negotiate a good daily rate, have spent as low as 80 tala for the days hire. May be a bit more now as no doubt petrol has gone up there as well. Yes Green Turtle tours no longer exist. | 1
