The Van and organization was good, however the driver tried to make us pay again to take us to the hostel even though that was specifically included.

I felt like a Sardine. Too many people with luggage in one van.

The Ferry was great, everything you can hope for (toilets, small market, scedule on time, nice ride) But the private bus was very chaotic. Nobpdy knew where to go, we had to wait for 45 minutes and then just got in because we sat in front with the driver, the ride was nearly 4 hours instead of 2! Driver did not speak english
