点评:I would have rather been at work than on this boat trip. We started in joigny for a two week trip. We are on day 4 and willing to for over all the remaining money we paid for the rental and go pay for a hotel literally anywhere. This is not a relaxing taking in the vistas holiday. We will circle back to the vistas later. Every 30 minutes or less there is another lock. These are all hand crank locks. You have to jump out tie up and help the lock keeper crank the gates so it doesn’t take double the amount of time. To make it to our destination every night before the locks close at 6:30pm. We start off at 8 am and spend and entire grueling day of zero leisure stops constantly doing locks in the blaring sun. To make it even more fun there are bridges 10-15 minutes in between the locks so you spend the rest of your day constantly putting up the Bimini and taking it down. Now on to the vistas. There is nothing to look at. You don’t go through towns all you see are sparse farm lands. I don’t think I took a single picture day 3 bc there wasn’t anything noteworthy. The lady at lock 59 didn’t speak e flush and couldn’t communicate to us that there were special timings for lunch breaks today so we stopped in the side of the canal and the next lock keeper had to come find us to tell us the hours for today they were closed for lunch from 1-3 not 12-1. This is unorganized, no facilities along route except if you rush all day to make it to the town. No restaurants along the way either. This trip can’t be over fast enough.
翻译:我宁愿去上班也不愿坐船。我们从约尼出发,准备进行为期两周的旅行。现在已经是第四天了,我们愿意把剩下的房租钱全部还清,然后去任何地方住酒店。这可不是一次轻松的观景假期。我们稍后再回来欣赏美景。每隔30分钟左右就会有另一道船闸。这些都是手摇船闸。你必须跳下船,系好安全带,帮船闸管理员摇动船闸,这样就不会浪费双倍的时间。为了在每天晚上6:30船闸关闭前到达目的地,我们每天早上8点出发,在烈日下不停地翻船闸,度过了一整天疲惫不堪、毫无休闲时间的时光。更有趣的是,船闸之间有10-15分钟的桥,所以你剩下的时间都要不断地搭建和拆除遮阳篷。现在开始欣赏美景吧。没什么可看的。你不会经过城镇,看到的都是稀疏的农田。第三天我好像一张照片都没拍,因为没什么值得一提的。59号船闸的女士不会说普通话,也没法告诉我们今天午休时间是特殊的,所以我们就停在运河边,直到下一个船闸管理员来找我们,告诉我们今天的午休时间是1点到3点,而不是12点到1点。这条线路很混乱,沿途没有任何设施,除非你为了赶路赶一整天才能到镇上。沿途也没有餐馆。这趟旅程真是太精彩了,结束得还不够快。
