To Kevin??s surprise, the canal ride was fun. There was an audio commentary about the city, which he listened to with interest. It was relaxing watching as all the historic buildings slowly floated past, the commentary giving a potted history of many of them.

??I don??t mind waiting,?? Joey said.

??No, sor-right. It might not be your sort of thing anyway.??
