点评:Our trip was rebooked to head out earlier in the week because of pending storm Amy, of which Ewan was more than accommodating to make sure we were able to go. We luckily bagged a place on what turned out to be the last sail of the season, on a day trip to Rona with lunch. The weather was kind, in parts, with a full quota of guests, but really Ewan could host a multitude more with ease, such is his deep connection to the land, sea and all its life, with array of history and stories. It brought the landscape to life. It really didn’t matter what the weather did, you felt in safe hands. I wondered how we were going to kill 2 hours on Rona in weather that could change in an instant, but alas, you have to travel on foot at least 25 mins first to even choose which of the 3 main tourist spots available to visit in the time you have allocated. We did the church cave, and I am minded to warn it’s a hard slog of a walk, you need to be fit. Rona and its ruggedness gives you an appreciation of what island life was like 100+ years ago. Wildlife evaded us on this trip, the odd seal and dolphin briefly spotted, but it’s not advertised as an animal attraction tour so was not expecting any, or feel any loss for not seeing more. We booked it for posh nosh moored up on an island, and for that alone it’s worth the cost (we did Michelin last holiday here, so this was the treat for this holiday). Skye and the surrounding islands on the boat ride gives you enough treat on the eye with its ever changing landscape and moods, and boy oh boy it’s majestic, the misty isle lived up to its name. Full belly and full memories made, the kind of core memory no camera can capture. So do it, enjoy the salty air and accept and embrace the elements, it’s a real special treat and one we enjoyed overall. Thanks Ewan & Alex. X
翻译:由于即将来临的“艾米”风暴,我们的行程改期到了本周早些时候。Ewan 非常热情地确保我们能够成行。我们幸运地订到了一张机票,这竟然是本季最后一次航行,我们参加了罗纳岛的一日游,并享用了午餐。部分地区天气宜人,宾客也都满员了,但 Ewan 真的可以轻松地招待更多客人,因为他与这片土地、海洋及其所有生物有着深厚的渊源,以及丰富的历史和故事。这让这片土地焕发出勃勃生机。无论天气如何,你都感到安心无虞。我琢磨着在罗纳岛,天气瞬息万变,我们该如何打发这2个小时呢?可惜的是,你得先步行至少25分钟,才能在预留的时间内从三个主要景点中选择自己想去的地方。我们去了教堂洞穴,需要提醒的是,这段路程非常艰难,你需要保持良好的体力。罗纳岛及其崎岖的地形,让你领略到100多年前岛屿生活的风采。这次旅行我们没遇到野生动物,只偶尔瞥见了海豹和海豚,但宣传中并没有提到是动物景点游,所以并没有期待看到更多,也没有因为没看到更多而感到失落。我们预订了停泊在岛上的豪华小食,单凭这一点就值回票价(上次我们在这里度假吃了米其林,所以这是这次假期的一大享受)。乘船游览斯凯岛及其周围的岛屿,其不断变化的景色和氛围足以让你大饱眼福。天哪,它真是雄伟壮观,这座云雾缭绕的小岛名副其实。饱餐一顿,留下了满满的回忆,那种难以言表的美好回忆是相机无法捕捉的。那就尽情享受吧,享受咸咸的空气,接受并拥抱自然,这真是一次特别的享受,我们总体来说很享受。感谢Ewan和Alex。X
