Die Abendfahrt war echt den Preis wert: Aus dem Hafen raus, an eine kleine Insel, dort im Wasser fest gemacht (auch andere Boote waren da). Bei Sonnenuntergang gab es das Angebot vom Boot ins klare warme Wasser zu springen (außer mir hat sich niemand getraut) - man hätte zur kleinen Insel schwimmen können. Danach gabs ein Schnäpschen und Frucht, dazu ein kurzer Input zur Insel. Als Abschluss wurde im Hafen eine Runde an den Cafes vorbei gedreht. Schöne Fotos gemacht und ein tolles kleines Erlebnis gehabt.

On our preferred date, we were called 50 minutes before departure with the message that the tour could not take place due to choppy seas. We were put off until the next day, when the weather was great, the tour was beautiful, and so was the ship. The captain and his company were very nice, they gave us interesting information. Worthwhile all round
