“Kenneth hem tarihi hem güncel bilgiler açısından bizi çok güzel ve eğlenceli şekilde bilgilendirdi. Gezdiğimiz yerlerde yeterince vakit geçirebildik. Fakat bilet açıklamasında dahil olarak görünen Viking Gemi Müzesi’ne gidemedik. Muhtemelen zaman yetmeyeceği içindi, ancak firmanın planı yaparken bunu göz önünde bulundurması ve fiyatlandırmayı da ona göre yapması gerekirdi.”
