It was a warm day at the beginning of September and the convenience store did not take cards for any purchase under $10. (FYI) I had no cash, but fortunately a sweet couple purchased me a small water which I filled up a couple times. The food tasting was very local and awesome. Traffic is a bit chaotic at times, to me personally, but overall the tour was very safe and fun.”
