Didn’t realise we needed cash for the castle, but that’s our own fault really. Also, we stopped at 2 tourist places at the end of the day that we weren’t aware of and wasn’t expecting, which was okay but we thought we’d be heading home earlier. Overall a great day and a lovely boat with friendly staff.”
