点评:Ted conducts his tour on a full size bus, thankfully air conditioned, so about 30 people. We left early and headed into Bridgetown, with Ted pointing out all the historical and interesting spots. He was full of information about the island and its long history, as well as about his and his family’s history on the island. On through Holetown, and had an hour stop in Speightstown to look around and stop for lunch on our own. He suggested some spots, and we had a quick lunch at Fisherman’s Pub and also managed a stop at PRC Bakery. Across the island to Cherry Tree Hill, with a lovely lookout across the east coast. There were some vendors set up with some souvenir and craft type items. Watched the St Nicholas Abbey Heritage Railway steam engine arrive. This our refreshment stop as well, and Ted had a great selection - mostly everything rum - either rum punch or every imaginable mix, also beer, soft drinks. Very generous pours! Then down the east coast to Bathsheba to see the huge coral rock formations. Ted had information, stories and jokes about everything and knows everyone. The roads are in rough shape, with potholes everywhere, and difficult to avoid in a big bus, made worse by all the rain they’ve been having. Last stop was St. John's Parish Anglican Church, a lovely old Gothic inspired church, with a very interesting private cemetery. I did not appreciate that there were a couple of vendors set up in the parking lot, for our benefit, an author with his books, and a gentleman with crafts. We were encouraged to visit, and my husband was practically strong-armed into buying a book. This was also a refreshment stop! It was a full day, and lots of fun. Ted is a great tour guide.
翻译:泰德开着一辆大型巴士带团,幸好有空调,车上大约有30人。我们一大早就出发前往布里奇敦,泰德一路为我们讲解各个历史名胜和趣味景点。他对这座岛屿及其悠久的历史了如指掌,也讲述了他和他家族在岛上的故事。之后我们途经霍尔敦,在斯佩茨敦停留了一个小时,四处逛逛,并自行安排午餐。他推荐了一些地方,我们在渔人酒吧快速吃了顿午饭,还顺便去了PRC面包店。之后我们横穿岛屿来到樱桃树山,那里可以俯瞰东海岸的壮丽景色。一些小贩摆摊出售纪念品和工艺品。我们还看到了圣尼古拉斯修道院遗产铁路的蒸汽机车驶入。这里也是我们的休息站,泰德准备了丰富的饮品——几乎全是朗姆酒——朗姆潘趣酒或各种你能想到的混合酒,还有啤酒和软饮料。分量非常足!之后我们沿着东海岸前往巴斯希巴,欣赏巨大的珊瑚岩地貌。泰德博学多识,对什么都了如指掌,故事和笑话也层出不穷,而且他认识所有人。路况很差,到处都是坑洼,开着大巴很难避开,再加上连绵不断的雨水,路况更是糟糕透了。最后一站是圣约翰教区圣公会教堂,这是一座美丽的古老哥特式教堂,教堂旁还有一个非常特别的私人墓地。我不喜欢停车场里摆着几个摊位,一个是卖书的作家,一个是卖手工艺品的。他们热情地招呼我们进去,我丈夫几乎是被强迫买了一本书。这里也是个休息站!这一天行程满满,但也非常有趣。泰德真是个很棒的导游。
