Kimkim Trip Reviews

Perfect location to train station and park when the Christmas Market was.

Cute little hotel closer to the water. It seems like a lot of travelers use this hotel. I did get an "upgrade" to have a balcony. I was still on the main floor, so it ended up being a patio. The room was spacious though and worked well.

Was in a great location to downtown. Easy to pick up public transport or go to the meeting places for any activities.

Perfect place to stay when you have a really early morning flight and just need a place to relax the night before.

The guide was really great about hunting for areas where you could see the Northern Lights, even though the night was very cloudy. He ended up having us see the northern lights twice that night. They weren't extremely active, but we were still able to see them. The guide was wonderful and making sure everyone was having a good experience.

On our way out of Tromso and just a quick 10 minutes from the camp, a car accident happened. We were stuck in line waiting for EMS to get to the occupants to get them to the hospital for easily over an hour. When we finally arrived at the camp, they were able to have us do the sleigh ride and feed the reindeer, but we weren't able to eat the dinner due to time constraints. The people were definitely wonderful, took good care of the reindeer, and did the best they could within the time. We did end up getting a refund, which was appreciated. If you are able to have a full time with the experience, I would say that it would be quite amazing.

I had researched do an arctic fjord cruise with fishing as an option. I wish I would have known, even though it stated lunch was included, all they had was coffee, tea, cocoa, and cookies. I don't know if I would recommend this company for the fishing excursion again, but I would try another one. The captain did try to take us to multiple spots to try to catch fish, so that was appreciated. Overall, I wasn't a fan of the experience and would be a skip.

The people there really cared about the dogs and were knowledgeable about each one. The food for dinner was good and they even catered to a couple who were vegetarians. We closed the night with mattress sledding and roasted marshmallows. It would have been 5 stars if I would have been able to go on the husky sled ride.

Bjorn was an amazing guide and definitely enjoyed it. As it ended up being just us--definitely appreciated that they didn't cancel because not enough people signed up--it was more special. When we went to the bridge to overlook the fjord, there was no one on the bridge, so Bjorn could take lots of pictures of me, which was nice. During the hike, Bjorn pointed out flora that was typical in the area and at the top, we stopped for some hot berry juice and Norway's version of a Kit Kat bar. We had a wonderful discussion during the hike and even though it wasn't a snowshoe one, I had a good time.

The location is of course AMAZING, the staff as lovely as could be. I can’t believe I’m writing this about the Peninsular Tokyo, but its feeling a little…tired? Certainly, when compared to Tokyo Station Hotel. The rooms are a bit worn, and I can’t remember the last time I stayed in a room with a DVD player and a fax machine, ha! Out toilet plumbing leaked, the room was a bit in need of some love, but still, we were comfortable – it was a loud hotel though, with very present traffic noise. It didn’t bother Kathy and me, but it might some guests. But the location served us well, and the room was comfortable and we slept like babies.

OH MY GOD. Six Senses is absolutely one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at – and we’ve stayed at some incredible hotels! For the way it smelled, to the lovely staff, to the incredible spa, it is a remarkable hotel. Another excellent breakfast buffet, and the restaurant and bars are top notch. The rooms are simply incredible, and we enjoyed the upgrade to the balcony room – thank you for that! Absolutely the best hotel on the trip, hands down. We’ll be back there again!

What an INCREDIBLE experience. Koyasan was deserted, and a mountain paradise! This was a really special experience for Kathy and I, but BOY was it cold!! But the monks at the temple were so welcoming, and the room was incredible – the hot spring bath was so relaxing, and so great to warm up, ha! The beds were comfy, the room was warm, and the food at the temple was exquisite – so beautifully prepared. The temple services were so honouring to attend, and really moving for Kathy and I. Anyone looking for a spiritual adventure in Japan would be wise to have this experience.

We LOVED the Uno! Clean, comfortable, with super helpful staff. The room was perfect, and the restaurant in the hotel was top notch. We’d recommend this hotel to anyone – it even has laundry facilities, which we didn’t need early in our trip but good to know.

WOW! The Tokyo Station Hotel is AMAZING! So new, comfortable and clean, and the staff were incredibly accommodating and welcoming! The breakfast buffet is astonishing and a game changer – such a great way to start our busy days in Japan! I don’t know how they do it, but the rooms are SILENT, even with busy Tokyo traffic outside – so restful! And the location could not have been more convenient for the Shinkansen!

Looking forward to coming here again. This is my favorite hotel of my entire life. The spotless clean spacious rooms are charming, with glorious views over the city. Breakfast is delicious and everyday full of different local goods. Adorable staff trained to please. Security 24/7. Wonderful travellers to hang out with. The patio is very nicely maintained and filled with hummingbirds of every size. The location is in a spectacular neighborhood, San Blas, at a walkable distance from the ancient ruins of Saqsaywaman and from downtown.

In a very good position. The rooms are comfortable, but not well cleaned and the plumbing system is poor. The shower doesn't work properly, the water can't be mixed in lukewarm temperature. The toilet got clogged and impossible to use. They couldn't change the room. We had to wait for someone to unclog the toilet, and then they left it very dirty eventually. Very disappointing. They are doing some remodeling so maybe in the future the issues will all be solved.

The hidden garden with pool, filled with spectacular flowers and birds was a beautiful surprise. The room was spotless and dustless clean in every detail, even though Nazca is very dusty. The adorable staff gave us more pillows and more toilet paper when asked.

The bed was the most comfortable of the trip, but the room and the bathroom were very dirty.

The driver that took us around was also an excellent guide that made us choose our tour. We also took a private flight tour of the Nazca lines.

Excellent tour experience transforming a transfer day in an outstanding tour out of the traditional tourist route, filled with interesting environmental, archeological, and historical sites and good food. Maybe our favorite because we didn't have any expectations. Christian, the tour guide, has deep knowledge in many fields and fulfilled all of our curiosity. We did not want it to end when we got to Cuzco.

Another Marvel!

This has been the best experience on our journey through Peru, and it should be a marvelous surprise.

Exciting. Safely done! 💯 If KimKim didn't propose this experience, we wouldn't have had a glance on rural parts of Arequipa and this beautiful river.

We really liked to visit the Ballestas islands and see the wonderful birds and sea lions, and for the first time penguins in their environment! A very well organized tour, perfect timing on the day to admire the Candelabro de Paracas.Our boat guide was amazing!

The room was clean and comfortable. The included breakfast was dismal

A lovely hotel in a great location. The food is amazing -- fresh, local and imaginative.

The hotel is lovely. Our room was spacious and had a view of the mountains. But what made our stay great was the staff. They went above and beyond for every need and request.

What an amazing experience! The remote location made for a beautiful end to our New Zealand adventure. The drive there was a bit unnerving but doable, even in our tiny rental car. The cabin is well-appointed and we enjoyed cooking our dinner with the food we ordered before arriving. Highly recommended if you're looking for complete serenity.

We loved out stay at the Fyffe Country Lodge. Innkeeper Chris and Colin were welcoming and helpful. The location is beautiful and close to town.

We loved our dinner tour with Gracy! He is engaging, knowledgable and charming. Highly recommended

Our guide, Antonio, was amazing -- charming and knowledgable. It was a strenuous hike but well worth the effort. My one complaint is that the provided lunch was pretty unappealing.

This was lots of fun! Despite my reluctance, my wife wanted to do this -- I am glad we did! I'm a picky eater but preparing the food and eating it was special. The staff was so kind!!!

For me, this was the highlight of the trip. The guide was phenomenal!!!!! He was extremely knowledgeable, able to spot amazing things, kind, and courteous. You could tell that he was highly respected by his colleagues. Probably the best guide I have ever worked with. We saw many birds, insects, plants and animals.

The guide was great; Funny, knowledgeable, patient and very kind. Saw many species of birds and animals.

Lots of fun. Beautiful scenery and sunset. Snorkeling was brief but fun. The staff were very nice and always willing to assist.

My wife loved the Zip lines! I did not do that activity due to my fear of heights. The hanging bridges/jungles were beautiful. The Sloth conservation center, Butterfly exhibit, and Reptile/Amphibian exhibits were very good.

The guide was extremely knowledgeable and showed us many subtle things. Fun and easy walk.

Lots of fun and interesting. The guide was very good, and funny!

The Arenal Volcano hike was fun and we saw many animals. The guide was fantastic -- very kind and knowledgeable. After the Arenal Volcano Hike (which was more strenuous than we expected), we were too tired to do the La Fortuna Waterfall walk. The local tour company, Flow Trips, was very kind and substituted a twilight float trip that was lots of fun.

It was fine. Quiet, wonderful staff. They’re only a year into the business and it will get better and better.

Not in n area where we could walk to restaurants, etc, but a unique place and great people.

Folks should have a better description of the park …. Very undeveloped. Park guide (not a ranger) spoke no English and our guide was not into the birds although that was what the park is renowned for. A lot of really rough road driving and little opportunity to hike.

Interesting, but I expected more time in the boat and wasn’t aware that a piece of time would be spent just waiting for the locks. Also didn’t realize that the Artist’s House was really just another market.

Everything from our car arriving, to reception, to our baggage to our room! A second baggage rack arrived in minutes!

Do not arrive after 6pm! No person on site! We had to move luggage up three stairs plus my husband's mobility scooter. No one to help. AC was broken. They were able to get it fixed later in the day! Kitchen closed for the time we needed it. Bar closed, too! Reception was very nice .... when they were there!

Beautiful hotel. Very modern. Registration was especially helpful. Good food!

Decent location. Very small. Nice staff.

A great city tour for sights. The driver was very nice and waited patiently for all the photo stops. Not for "excitement".

We had been staying in small boutique hotels for the most part so to come back to a giant resort was a little shocking. But the breakfast buffet was excellent. The service was good for the most part. It took about 45 minutes for us to check in for some reason which was frustrating. The location right on the beach in front of a nice surf break was fun for our family to surf on. And the convenience of being so close and able to go back and forth to the hotel as needed was great. The only surprise we had was that there was a Sri Lankan full moon holiday during our stay so the hotel didn't serve alcohol that day. These are monthly holidays. That would have been helpful information to disclose when we booked the hotel so we could be made aware ahead of time. Otherwise the resort was lovely.

This was one of the best hotels we've ever stayed in. The location was amazing being in a national park and having animals roaming around the property. But also the service of everyone from the pool to the restuanrat was second to none. We celebrated a birthday and New Year's while there and the staff made it incredibly special. We had some confusion around our safari being booked seperate from the hotel's offered safari and were concerned about leaving for hours without having any breakfast. The hotel provided us with complimentary breakfast snacks to take on the safari so that our kids wouldn't be hungry for 4 hours. They continually went above and beyond to make our stay there very special. Our family all agreed that of the 6 hotels we stayed in during our trip to Sri Lanka, this was by far the best one.

This is a single family house not a hotel. It was very different from any of the other places we stayed during our trip around the island but it was a great change for us. The house was very clean and modern. The views of Ella were incredible. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The only issue we had were the number of bugs in the house. Because all of the sheets were white, it was really easy to see the bugs. It was a small price to pay for the gorgeous views. My only regret is that we didn't have more there.

A beautiful hotel set high above the city. It had a great view of Kandy and the surrounding area. The rooms were clean and full of character. Just FYI, there were no elephant stables at this resort! The only drawback was the loud noise on the roof at 7am. We asked about the noise and they said it might be the birds. But it was extremely loud and jarring initially.

I wish we had more time at this hotel. We arrived late at night after a full day and left early in the morning. It seemed like a great hotel and they were very accommodating. The resort grounds are beautiful and lush. It was fun watching the monkeys and peacocks all around the resort. The rooms are gorgeous and spacious. The food was delicious and the service all around was 5-star. We would absolutely love to come back one day just to spend more time here.

The steps to the top are no joke! We were definitely winded when we got there, but to see a temple carved into the side of a rock was an impressive site. The temple is actually a series of rooms with different purposes in Buddha statues throughout. It was interesting to observe how this temple has lasted for centuries and been so well maintained. And this site was easy to see on the same day as Sigiriya Rock.

This was a site definitely worth visiting. The views from the top were spectacular. The hike up isn’t too strenuous, but is somewhat steep. It was very neat to see the outlines of where this palace one stood as well as the cave paintings. We really enjoyed visiting this ancient site.

We had a great time navigating this ancient city by bike. Our guy did a great job of explaining each site and the cultural significance. We were able to navigate through the complex with the bikes, quite seamlessly and use back roads too quickly get to each location.

This was such a fun way to see Colombo in a short amount of time. Our guide and drivers were great. They didn’t speak much English, but they were able to take us to the key sites and give us an overview of each place. We were impressed with their ability to drive and navigate in the crazy Colombo traffic! And they also took us to a local place to have dinner at the end of our tour, which was definitely a highlight.

We didn’t get a chance to do this train ride because the train service was disrupted due to the recent typhoon that affected the area. Instead, we did a bike ride and hike to the scenic nine arch Bridge. The bike ride was terrible! It was mostly uphill and our family, while mostly in good shape, all struggled to make it to the top. Our guide, as friendly and accommodating as he was. Rode a scooter, so didn’t have the same issues getting up the hill! He was nice enough to have his nephew switch with our youngest son when he wasn’t able to complete the bike ride. So our son was able to ride on the back of the scooter with him. Once we got to the spot where we could start the hike it was then a 25 minute walk over to the bridge. The bridge was beautiful, but also very crowded. Lots of tourists visiting and taking photos. Definitely a fun and memorable place to take photos and visit while in Sri Lanka. I would avoid the bike ride in the future. I do think we wouldn’t have been able to see the bridge the same way if we were on the train so walking over to it was the better way to get the full experience and take our time.

This was not impressive. We walked through the factory and then sampled one flavor of tea. The tour of the factory took about 15 minutes and then we had another 20 minutes to select and drink our teas. While it was a beautiful drive through the tea plantation area, and nice to be able to stop in and purchase tea bags direct from the plantations, the experience didn’t live up to the description.

The morning safari was fine. There are so many Safari trucks all heading into the park to get in line as soon as it opens. You spend an hour just getting tickets and then getting into line to wait for the park to open. I wish I had known that ahead of time. We saw plenty of animals roaming around, but didn’t see any elephants or leopards unfortunately, we tried diligently to find a leopard for about an hour, but it was elusive. It was a fun tour, but would’ve been better if we were able to see you more animals. Because it had rained the night before many of the animals weren’t out at their normal watering holes because they had plenty of water already.

This was horrible. The boat was a tiny flea infested piece of wood and the rods were sticks with strong. We were eaten alive by mosquitoes and are still itching 2 weeks later. The water looks disgusting and we didn't catch anything. The guide didn't speak English so we had a hard time understanding what he was pointing at or what he was telling us. We turned around after about 30 minutes and went back because we were having such a miserable time.

Staff were great here. They took our luggage to our room when we went looking for parking (there is only paid parking at this hotel but there are a few cheaper options nearby). It was a high tech hotel where a robot brought us room service. The room had foam rollers, yoga mat, and Alexa echo. Celebrated our anniversary with us with chocolates and a kind note.

Elevator was old and far from our room. There were steps that lead from the hallway to our room so it was difficult to get in at times. The shower was also on the smaller end. My husband who is 5'11 kept hitting his elbow on the wall.

Location was amazing, view was breathtaking, staff was great and helpful

Location was good, parking is easy, laundry is token operated. Sulphur smell could bother some people.

Good location, provided paid parking for your car, celebrated our anniversary with a kiwi friend

Learned a lot about Maori culture and New Zealand history. The Maori family was so welcoming and kept us engaged through the various activities during the experience. However, the food and dining experience has room for improvement.

Stephen was an amazing guide with extensive knowledge of New Zealand’s flora and fauna. My husband and I weren’t sure what to expect going into the experience, but we ended up having a fantastic time. We learned about the silver fern, saw New Zealand possums (much cuter than the ones in the U.S.!), and even learned about the different types of torches (flashlights) used during night walks. We were able to get very close to the glow worms, and Stephen also pointed out many fascinating plants and creatures along the way, including the kawakawa tree, the mānuka tree, the wētā, and, of course, the iconic silver fern. To top it all off, at the end of the walk he treated us to hot cocoa and biscuits, which was a lovely and thoughtful touch and answered all of our questions. If you’re looking for an easy trek and have an interest in New Zealand nature, this is definitely the activity for you.

Wowzers! What a place. Words will never do it justice, just go. Thank you Green Bay - it was amazing!

Location is good - definitely in the heart of Helsinki and you can walk to all the highlights. The room was big, good for a family of four which was a bonus. The reason for the 3 star review - it's a little outdated, rooms weren't as clean as our other hotels, and the breakfast was subpar. Staff was super friendly and helpful...the hotel could just use a bit of a refresh.

We had a premium family igloo - it was amazing. Super fun to be together as a family for this experience. The igloo was CLEAN, the main lobby/restaurant area was cozy, and location to Santa Village perfect. And we got to see the Northern Lights while there that night!!! What an amazing sight, and definitely the highlight of our trip to Lapland.

The hotel is very well maintained and the staff were super helpful and nice. The reason for 3 stars...location. It is about 18min walk to town, which was too far in the -20 degree weather so we had to Uber to town. The lobby/bar/restaurant in the hotel closes at 10pm, so if you come home after an evening excursion, there is nowhere to get a snack or drink. Also, one of the nights we were there, the fire alarm went off around 12am. There is NO staff at the hotel after 10pm, so all of us guests were scurrying to figure out what to do and how to handle contacting the fire department. The hotel is clean, rooms were spacious, but would have preferred something a bit closer to the center of Rovaniemi.

The overnight train was certainly an experience we won't forget. The cabins are TINY. If you have larger luggage, this might not be the trip for you. We had a private bathroom, which I would recommend. Although you wouldn't want to shower, it was key having a private toilet. Another note - if you are elderly, or plan to have a lot and/or heavy luggage, you might consider another way to get up north. If you stay on the second story, you have lug your bags up a few sets of very tight stairs.

The hotel is in a 500 year old building but is immaculately maintained. Rooms were charming and comfortable and clean. The only negative is that there are lots of stairs and no elevator - so if you are elderly or have a lot of heavy luggage, I would not recommend this hotel. Otherwise it is a perfect location, full of character and charm, centrally located in old town - a very memorable stay.

Loved this hotel. Very modern and clean. Location is fantastic - and Fazer is right across the way (good and bad if you know what I mean). The family room was plenty big for the four of us. And it comes with day tickets to Allas Pools and Sauna. Great place to stay in the center of Helsinki.

Our guide was super friendly, energetic, and truly wanted to enrich our understanding of the finnish culture. We really enjoyed spending time with him. The food tour was a bit lacking - we started at the market and had a sample of traditional Finnish food (raw salmon, smoked reindeer, and shrimp salad). But that was it - he showed us stuff around the market and explained the food but we never got to try any of it which was disappointing. He then took us to a restaurant where we ordered from the menu, then we went to Fazer and got a bag of chocolates. I wish we had done more tasting, particularly in the market - and especially at Fazer. But - the guide was amazingly smart and personable. Loved spending the time with him and hearing his perspective as he was not a native finnish person. We ended the tour with a wine tasting - that saved this experience. He took us to a local wine shop and the owner introduced us to three european wines from very small wineries. Overall, it would have better to do a true tasting (small bits here and there of all things Finland, rather than stop in a restaurant to order a meal).

We loved going to the farm to learn about Reindeer and reindeer farming. This experience was very different for us as we come from the states and do not have reindeer here. The guide was smart and caring - although we wished we had done some faster sledding, it was super peaceful going through the forest on a reindeer driven sled. The landscape was breathtaking, the sounds of the reindeer walking was relaxing, it was definitely very calm and peaceful. And of course the day we did this, it was like -35 degrees - so it was COLD. Layer up, and when you think you have enough layers, add one more - because man oh man it was COLD.

Of all the experiences we had in Lapland, this was our family's favorite. It was fast and fun, cold, breathtaking, and stunning. The dogs were so friendly - the landscape was crazy memorable. The guides and staff were so knowledgeable. We loved everything about this trip. But it is COLD - like bitingly cold, so bundle up - and when you think you are done, add another layer! We did an earlier excursion and got to see the sun rise above the frozen lake - highly recommend trying to catch that.

Super unique and surreal experience. The suit feels like you are walking on the moon, and then when you are floating, you feel like a marshmallow on a water bed. Fun, different, memorable - so worth the trip if you have the time.

We did this trip since our kids have never been to a snow hotel before. It was a fun day trip but not anything you would regret missing if you don't have the time. The hotel is fun to explore - and if you have little ones (we don't) they would have a lot of fun running around this place.

It was nice to walk around Helsinki and hear some insight into the architecture, culture, food, etc. Although our guide was a bit dry, it was a good way to spend New Years Day since lots of stuff was closed.

We used Wild About Lapland for this excursion and I am sooooo glad we did. They offer small group experiences - our tour went out with just 4 snowmobiles (unlike others we passed with like 20 or more). Because it was a small group, we could go faster and longer. When we stopped to grill sausages and have cocoa, we could spend time chatting and telling stories with the guide and other travelers. Very fun - but layer up because it's coooollllddd out there!

Our guide was amazing...so knowledgeable, personable, funny - loved this tour. And Tallinn is so enchanting - a must do if you can.

We really enjoyed Casa Molino, one of nicer hotels at which we have stayed. The hotel is a grand house in the countryside and right on Lago Llanquihue, with a view across to Vulcan Orsono that is unreal. We had a 2nd floor very comfortable room with huge windows facing that amazing view. The grounds and the house are immaculately kept and beautifully designed, with peaceful indoor and outdoor areas to relax and take in the view. The property has a nice short garden walk down to the lakeshore to its small beach, very nice. While staying at Casa Molino we had all our dinners there, the food and service was some of the best we had during our travels in Chile.

Boat ride on Lago Todos de los Santos and easy/moderate hike on the side of Vulcan Orsono made for a pleasant and relaxing day.

We very much enjoyed hiking in the Valley of the Moon and experiencing this completely unique desert scenery. After the hike we drove further into the park to see the Tres Marias which we could have skipped, not as interesting in our opinion. Then to a nice viewpoint overlooking the Valley of the Moon and San Pedro for snacks and cocktails at sunset which was nice.

This tour was great. Need get up very early to experience the geysers at sunrise but totally worth it. The drive up from San Pedro to the very high altitude plains with views of the much higher mountains is spectacular.

Overall this day trip was OK but not as spectacular as our other Atacama tours IMO. The lagoons viewing and viewing and hiking at Piedras Rojas were nice enough.

Ideal location in the heart of the city. Easy to walk everywhere, a parking garage nearby, and parking in front to unload your luggage. Comfortable, warm, excellent room.

Great spot with shared hot tubs for each building. We were there for a great new year's eve meal. Loved it.

Really special experience. Maybe a little tight, but a great spot to see the northern lights, and even if it's cloudy you can hang out in the hot tub or sauna. Easy to get food nearby, truly private lodges, absolutely wonderful.

Easy ride, no need to have any experience. They take care of everything and just give you great views.

Truly excellent. We watched groups struggle on the glacier dealing with the wind and cold- we only had fun. Siggi is one of 4 companies that can drive on the glacier and that made this an incredible expereince. Loved getting into the ice. So pretty.

What a beautiful resort right on the ocean. We had a jungle bungalow on the 2nd floor and it was a great view. There are all sorts of different rooms to choose from. The pool area is beautiful and there is a restaurant and a Coffee/Drink bar too. They do not serve liquor, however, the coffee, wine and beer was enough for us. The only thing I did not like was no TV in any guest rooms. The only way to watch TV was in the public area by the pool and bar.

We had a Cabana room and it was wonderful. It was our own little house and surrounded by jungle/forest, but just a few steps from the pool. There is a restaurant right on site and the food is very good. You can text with the owner and have your breakfast ready for you at specific times in the morning so you can eat before your excursions.

It was a pleasure to end our trip here with private beach access, the pool and the restaurant just steps away from our rooms. It was fun to have a sloth and her baby hanging in a tree by reception and a mischievous group of monkeys swinging past the restaurant.

The children in our group would happily have lived here!

I wanted to start my family's first trip to Costa Rica in this quiet location away from crowds.

This hotel far exceeded our expectations. Yes, it was close to the SJO airport and had a shuttle. But it also had a beautiful location over-looking the city, very kind staff and a great restaurant. It was a perfect start to our week n Costa Rica.

More than 3,000 people a day visit this park, so it was always busy. I much prefer quieter locations but the level paths and a guide with a telephoto lens on his scope made this a great final excursion for 2 of us with vision and mobility issues.

Our children were feeling a bit apprehensive about walking in the jungle at night. Valeria hit just the right tone to keep them engaged and comfortable.

Our family had the boat to ourselves! Ralph was charming and informative. He and the boat captain spotted birds, reptiles and mammals that we certainly wouldn't have seen on our own. What a great lazy way to enjoy the area: motoring down the river. Ralph also shared some 3-D goggles that were a revelation to us all.
