点评:My husband, a friend and I spent a wonderful day with Chris. He met us at the ferry from Lerwick and took us to his farm to meet his beautiful Shetland sheep. He had just sheared them so we got to see the fleece in the shed as well.
Since we were interested in archaeology, we then spent the rest of the day being shown sites on Bressay. We saw the Victorian lighthouse, many abandoned croft houses, an Iron Age broch, Viking house foundations, a ruined medieval church, and some abandoned water mills, all set in the gorgeous scenery of the island. Chis is knowledgeable in many fields - he explained the local archaeology, history, and island culture beautifully, and since I grew up on a farm I had a great time discussing his sheep and chickens and other farm topics as well. He is a considerate and attentive host to his guests and he made sure we all enjoyed our time on Bressay.
We had corresponded by email prior to our tour and Chris took what we told him about our interests and put together a great itinerary for us. I'd love to go back and see more with him!
翻译:我丈夫、一个朋友和我与克里斯度过了美好的一天。他在从勒威克出发的渡轮上迎接我们,带我们去他的农场看他漂亮的设得兰群岛绵羊。他刚刚剪过羊毛,所以我们也看到了棚子里的羊毛。
由于我们对考古学感兴趣,我们花了一天的剩余时间参观布雷赛岛的景点。我们看到了维多利亚时代的灯塔、许多废弃的农舍、铁器时代的石塔、维京房屋地基、一座废弃的中世纪教堂和一些废弃的水磨坊,所有这些都坐落在岛上美丽的风景中。奇斯在许多领域都很博学——他很好地解释了当地的考古学、历史和岛屿文化,因为我是在农场长大的,所以我很开心地讨论了他的羊和鸡以及其他农场话题。他对客人很体贴周到,他确保我们都在布雷赛岛度过了愉快的时光。
我们在旅行前通过电子邮件进行了交流,Chris 听取了我们的兴趣爱好,为我们制定了很棒的行程。我很想和他一起回去看看更多地方!
