Does seem strange - if they had a phone, there are plenty of mapping apps available to get one out of trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And apparently they were less than 500 metres away... 🤔 "Their location was between the hotel and the top of the cape which was about 500 meters away." I'm thinking they knew where they were, but didn't know how to get across the terrain. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenl Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 This happens on a regular basis there. Apparently it is not as easy to find one's way out as the tourists and the posters here presume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
