The driver knew only basic/very minimal English, the female guide knew more English but not enough to hold conversation or truly answer questions. There was definitely still a language barrier. Sunrise, got to spot, she pointed to food area said coffee, then pointed to where we should go to see rise. Coffee place wasnt open.
