Hola a todos, estuvimos en el mes de marzo, 10 días con Asa recorriendo parte de Sri Lanka. Desde que contactamos con él, para enseñarle la ruta que queríamos hacer, estuvo super colaborador, para encontrar los hoteles y tenerlos ya contratados para cuando llegáramos por la noche poder descansar, ya que cada dia dormiamos en un lugar diferente. Antes de llegar, sabia que no me había equivocado de guia :) No quiero alargarme demasiado, unicamente voy a contar una anécdota. Haciendo la excursión de Worlds End, tuve la mala pata, de caerme, con un esguince bastante grave, no tengo palabras de agradecimiento para Asa, de como se recorrió un montón de farmacias ( 2 dias) para poder encontrar el tipo de tobillera que me recomendaba mi fisio desde España (una tobillera con refuerzo) os pódeis imaginar que no es tarea fácil..... Claro, con todo ello cabe destacar, que los 3 dias siguientes, tuvimos que cambiar practicamente toda la ruta, ya que no podia dar paso. Lo hizo tan bien, que no me dio tiempo a lamentarme de las rutas que dejaba de hacer, ya que tal como él lo organizo, me pareció de lo más bonito. No tengais ninguna duda de contactarlo. saludos a todos los que me leais!378juanvicenteg
