    The pickup from the cruise port was so convenient and the van was very nice and roomy. The driver was local and she knew so much about the area. We stopped at lots of places and saw more than I expected. The tour of the castle was great and we learned lots and had plenty of time. Afterwards we had time to walk around the grounds and castle on our own. The former ballroom was converted into a nice place to purchase refreshments.
