Well Worth It

We were in Oxford for the weekend and found this for something to do on Saturday afternoon. We boarded the boat on time. The boat was very neat and tidy and powered by electricity so good for the environment. The skipper was 'Will' and he was very knowledgable and friendly. The picnic was very fresh and obviously had been prepared just before it was placed onto the boat in individual hampers. It was very nice indeed. The cruise lasted 3 hours and you even stooped off for 30-40 minutes on an island for a drink. A very pleasant way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
