Quite ordinary

The experience was alright. I would have loved if the gentleman rowing could have provided some insights about the history and culture. It was a largely silent trip through the narrow river. Most of the entertainment was provided by the ducks with their antics and of course the trees in the botanical garden did make a beautiful sight...
