点评:We had a wonderful day at Middleton Place. Although we really enjoyed the gardens and the magnificent views, my wife said her favorite part was seeing five alligators out sunning themselves. (We kept our distance.) One of the guides told us they are afraid of people and will slither back into the water if anyone gets too close.
The guided tours were all great, with the exception of the House Museum. We regretted paying $10 extra for that one. You're not seeing the main house (which was destroyed) but the South Flanker. And, they only allow you into about 20% of the rooms. So, skip it and save the money. There's not much to see inside anyway.
The Middleton Place Restaurant was superb. The okra was the best I've ever had.
We enjoyed seeing the cashmere goats, the water buffalo, the kunekune pigs, and all the sheep on the Meet the Breeds livestock tour.
Finally, don't forget about stopping at the museum shop before you leave.
翻译:我们在米德尔顿庄园度过了美好的一天。虽然我们很喜欢花园和壮丽的景色,但我妻子说她最喜欢的是看到五只鳄鱼在晒太阳。(我们和它们保持了距离。)一位导游告诉我们,鳄鱼很怕人,如果有人靠得太近,它们就会溜回水里。
除了故居博物馆之外,其他导览都很棒。我们后悔多花了10美元去参观故居博物馆。你看到的不是主屋(主屋已被毁),而是南翼楼。而且,他们只允许参观大约20%的房间。所以,别去参观故居博物馆,省下这笔钱吧。反正里面也没什么可看的。
米德尔顿庄园餐厅非常棒。秋葵是我吃过最好吃的。
在“与品种亲密接触”的牲畜之旅中,我们很喜欢看到克什米尔山羊、水牛、库内库内猪和各种绵羊。
最后,离开前别忘了去博物馆商店逛逛。
