The driver was waiting clearly with a name sign, and the handoff at the airport took almost no effort. From there, the transition into a mountain transfer was smooth. That combination matters: arrival logistics can be stressful on their own, and adding a winter road afterward can easily become too much. Here it stayed calm. The driving was measured, not theatrical, and the communication before the trip had already removed most of the uncertainty. It was a strong start to the trip.
