La visite des salles prévues = mémorable
MAIS
Nous avons du patienter 45 minutes au point de rassemblement affichant 13:30 !  Or nous y étions à 13 heures précises un couple canadien devant nous !
Le contrôle de sécurité passé, notre visite n'a commencé qu'à 14:10.
Pour un ticket coupe-file, on peut faire mieux, NON?


Visiting the planned rooms = memorable
BUT
We had to wait 45 minutes at the meeting point, which was marked 13:30!  But we were there at 1 p.m. sharp, with a Canadian couple ahead of us!

Can't you do better than that for a ticket?
