Translation of beeswax in German

All travel agents, but one, were all pritty unreliable as one could perceive immediately. We did not care for a dollar more or less and everybody promised the same which was not convincing.
We were not the only tourists, there were a many boats sailing on the same route. At one point the driver stopped the boat and immediately children of the village people approached us.
We a lot of luck we had made the entire journey in one day, leaving around 1500km behind us. The town turned out to be great. A lot of young people, many bars and restaurant and a great atmosphere.
