I sent email to Sreten of Golden Frog on 3 September looking for a boat trip on 5 September. He replied on 4 September and promised that everything would be ready when I arrived Virpazar. When I got off the bus and walked to the small village Virpazar, Sreten called my name. He asked me to have a cup of coffee first so that he could find somebody to join so as to save money for me as I am a solo traveller!
Luckily, a young couple from Belgium joined and we had a great two-hour trip. Sreten is knowledgable of birds, living of fishermen and the history of the surroundings. By using the traditional and small boat, we could visit every corner of the lake, even the most shallow part! We also got fresh water chestnut and necklace made with fresh lotus flower as souvenir!
What a wonderful trip it is and thanks for the arrangement of Golden Frog!
Golden Frog 為我這個獨行旅遊人準備了一個難忘的遊湖旅程!當我在9月5日早上跳下巴士時,Golden Frog 的Sreten已一眼把我認出,這當然不是難事,因為有多少個中國女子會獨自一人到黑山這小村落遊湖呢?但他竟叫出了我的名字!為使我省點金錢,Sreten找來了一對比利時年青夫婦跟我一起出發,在兩小時行程中,Sreten分享了對鳥類、漁民生活及周邊地區的資料及歷史。坐在他傳統的小船,我們可到湖的每一角落,甚至是最淺水的位置也輕易通過。最特別是Sreten為我們準備了新鮮的菱角及以荷花編造成的頸鍊作為手信!
