    Not a real going on here. We did a boat Tour from Virpazar which was nice enough but not a great deal to look at. Virpazar is a nice little town surrounded by water but it’s a small place and a bit tired and not a great deal to do.
  • By Wabyske Hakuren
    Great plast for restink with friends and family, fishing or starting a lake cruise
