Entrance $10 ... contrary to what you read earlier. I don't know if increased prices or they just treated like a "tourist". Inside the Fort you can choose a seafood platter ($8) or chicken ($7) both good. The show starts at 19 and lasts a couple of hours: pleasant and engaging.

According to the schedule, the show starts at 7:00 pm; however, the show never started. There aren't messages or adds to explain why. At the end, a local person said that they were in vacations :( more »
