His ability to translate English for the Dutch couple if I asked a question and conversely if they had a conversation in Dutch, Jer would then let us know what had been said. It was a brilliant day and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Please note that “fully air conditioned” just means there’s no roof and the windows are open hahaha. I personally would recommend taking a packed lunch.”
