Came down into town, passing by the Mercedes then stand on always on your right across the traffic lights by the Fire Station also across the traffic lights next to a tunnel. The next set of traffic lights is on a main street. Unfortunately, is not possible turn left, so guests have to carry on ahead for a short distance until the next set of traffic lights and turn left across a small bridge and then left again to go back on yourself.
