Good place to go
Enjoyed half day trip. It was my ²ND trip there. Definitely nice place and good morning tea. But too short to look around, no free time to look around , follow the guider in the farm. It will be nice to have own time to look around the place. The steam boat, used to have piano and the men played song all different countries folk song, nothing there. I missed it .
