点评:We went on a fun rafting trip on the Mohaka River with the Mohaka Rafting Company out of Napier New Zealand. We arrived at the site, where we had a restroom stop and were “kitted up” in splash clothing and shoes, and sent out to the river where we were handed a paddle and assigned to our rafts. We had a fun group of 6 and a knowledgeable and very capable Maori raft guide. Since we were floating down mostly quite calm parts of the river, we only had to paddle to help steer, and to avoid obstacles. My thought was “I never would have thought that at a month short of 70 years old I’d be out in some river on the other side of the world paddling a raft!” We had a great time, saw beautiful scenery and had a pleasant and peaceful time on the river. When we got out of the river, we took off the splash clothes, and were given box lunches—not super, but quite adequate—and then boarded our bus to go back to the ship. All in all we had a fine trip. I was pretty tired and slept most of the way back, but I think we were given a brief city tour.
翻译:我们参加了新西兰纳皮尔市摩哈卡漂流公司的摩哈卡河漂流之旅,玩得非常开心。到达漂流地点后,我们上了一个卫生间,穿上了防水服和鞋子,然后出发前往河边,在那里我们拿到了桨,并被分配到我们的筏子上。我们是一个有趣的 6 人小组,还有一个知识渊博、非常有能力的毛利漂流导游。由于我们漂流的河段大部分时间都很平静,所以我们只需要划桨来帮助操纵和避开障碍物。我当时想:“我从来没有想过,在不到 70 岁的时候,我会在世界另一端的某条河上划筏子!”我们玩得很开心,看到了美丽的风景,在河上度过了愉快而平静的时光。当我们从河里出来时,我们脱下了防水服,拿到了盒饭——不是特别好,但很丰盛——然后登上我们的巴士返回船上。总的来说,我们这次旅行很愉快。我非常累,回程时大部分时间都在睡觉,但我认为我们进行了一次简短的城市游览。
