点评:What can I say to do this holiday justice…
From start to finish, our Drifting Wood Canal Break was wonderful. We hired The Mighty Oak and took a 6 day trip to Llangollen.
The most important thing to mention is Laura and Dana, who are the friendliest and most helpful boat owners you could wish for. They taught us everything we needed to know about navigating the canal and the boat itself before setting us on our way. Making sure to let us know that they were at the other end of the phone if we needed them (which because of their excellent tuition and very helpful folder on board we didn’t).
It felt like we were borrowing a boat from real people rather than hiring one from a company. We definitely didn’t see a prettier boat all week (except from when we went past and waved lots at Acorn boat).
The boat was super comfortable and very easy to live in as a family of 4 adults and a teenager. It was so lovely spending time with my children (15-20yrs) watching them gain confidence at mooring up and generally getting involved with the days boating. My dog had the actual time of his life!
I’ll be honest, it took a day or two relax in to it and feel confident driving the boat but once we had there was honestly nothing better. We met such nice people on the way and the 2 hour queue at a lock was actually one of my holiday highlights -we got to know all the other people on their boats and compare stories.
I’d recommend Drifting Wood to everyone. We are already looking at when we can go again.
翻译:怎么说才能真正赞美这次假期呢……
从始至终,我们的“漂流木运河之旅”都棒极了。我们租了“巨橡树”号船,开启了为期六天的兰戈伦之旅。
最值得一提的是劳拉和丹娜,她们是你所能想象到的最友好、最乐于助人的船主。在送我们上路之前,她们教会了我们所有关于在运河和船只航行的知识。她们确保随时告诉我们,如果我们需要她们,她们就在电话那头(由于她们的讲解非常出色,船上还有非常有用的文件夹,所以我们并没有需要她们)。
感觉就像我们是从真人那里借船,而不是从公司租船。整整一周,我们都没见过比这更漂亮的船了(除了我们路过橡果船,向它挥手致意的那几次)。
这艘船超级舒适,对于一个由四个大人和一名青少年组成的家庭来说,在里面生活非常轻松。和我的孩子们(15-20岁)一起度过的时光真是太美好了,看着他们逐渐掌握停泊技巧,并融入到日常的划船活动中。我的狗狗也玩得非常开心!
说实话,我花了一两天时间才适应,并自信地驾驶船只,但一旦我们适应了,真的没有什么比这更好的了。我们在路上遇到了很多好人,在船闸前排了两个小时的队实际上是我假期中最精彩的部分之一——我们认识了船上的其他人,并互相交流了彼此的故事。
我向所有人推荐“漂流木”。我们已经在考虑什么时候可以再去一次了。
