Creator's Key Takeaways

So, 6 days and 30 minutes to embark. That's probably a record, ain't it?

The tanyaki show was brilliant. You know, if you're going to do only one, it's got to be the tanyaki show.

Overall, it was pretty good.

Overall, would we go on it again? Yes, we probably would go on it again.
