Imprecise driver

The driver did not meet at the place stated in the order, but a bit from the terminal so we left at 9:20. We did not reach the top tower because the driver told us that he had spoken to the shipping company and that we should be back at 14. According to the schedule, we should first be back at 15:30, we sail at 16:30, we could easily have reached the summit!
