Ausbaufähig

Bei einer Chees & Wine Tour haben wir uns definitiv mehr versprochen. Es gab eine sehr schöne hergerichtete Käseplatte wo wir laut der Menü-Karte an Board nur erahnen konnten welcher Käse was ist & wir konnten uns einen Wein von der Karte aussuchen. Ein Glas für eine 90 minutige Fahrt und alles Zusätzliche hätte man selber erwerben müssen. Für das Geld bekommen wir auf Weingütern noch eine herzliche Erklärung und haben noch was gelernt dabei. Die Aussicht war wunderschön, aber selbst die Bootstour war leider nichts für uns. Kapitän hat man kaum mit Infos über die Spots verstanden.
