😕 - We were 9 minutes late to get on the boat tour. We missed the tour but we were allowed to reschedule for $20 more. It was not the Swamp tour fault but our Uber ran into traffic due to a wreck. It cost us $50 to catch a ride there and $50 to get back to our hotel after we were told we could reschedule and with no sympathy they were going to charge more so we did not get to take the tour. We lost the money for that adventure.
