Nice tour...just nice - The cruise was nice but the captain spoke way too fast to understand--I couldn't quite tell when he was switching to English and missed a bunch. The 'cheese' given on the tour is one lonely cheese flavored cracker. Happy that it is enclosed but most of the time was spent looking and not learning.
