A very long day
Samaria Gorge National Park的点评
点评：To give some context we are an active couple, though well into our sixties, who don’t spend much time on sun lounger. Both of us have been walkers all our lives - Lake District, Scotland, the Alps,Sierra Nevada even the Himalayas. We tend to cycle more than walk these days due to a variety of joint issues. We faced this challenge with a large degree of what proved to be false optimism. Just ten miles? Downhill? Small potatoes.
Sadly not the case. Much harder than we thought. On reflection we felt the issue was the terrain which is very rocky and uneven- we never really got into our stride and had to watch every step. Younger souls skipped down the trail in designer trainers but we were grateful for our thick vibram soles and walking poles - life savers.
I must say the scenery is spectacular - truly awesome stuff. Sadly I was too intent on staying upright to enjoy it fully.
Other issues-
My Strava said it was over 12 miles to the point where you get can get a bus to the coast rather than the advertised 10.
There were too many people, particularly a sizable minority who felt they had a right to push abruptly past you without a please or thank you- not just bad manners but dangerous
We went with IO tours. Must say very well organized and our guide, Daphi, was super - so much enthusiasm and patience- but it was a very long day. We left our dwelling at 6 in the morning- we could see the Stars in an ink black sky- and returned 14 and a half hours later. The last two and a half hours in a coach dragged somewhat.
I’m sounding very negative but it was all very memorable in a good way. We didn’t feel under time pressure and enjoyed a beer after exiting the National Park and had plenty of time for a very late lunch before the ferry sailed
A once in a lifetime trip- in more than one sense

翻译：简单介绍一下我们夫妻俩，虽然年逾花甲，但依然活力十足，很少在日光浴床上度过。我们俩一生都在徒步——去过湖区、苏格兰、阿尔卑斯山、内华达山脉，甚至喜马拉雅山。由于各种关节问题，如今我们骑自行车的次数比步行多。面对这一挑战，我们很大程度上抱有错误的乐观态度，但事实证明这种乐观是错误的。就十英里？下坡？小菜一碟。
可惜并非如此。比我们想象的要难得多。反思之后，我们觉得问题出在地形上，那里岩石嶙峋，凹凸不平——我们从未真正迈出步伐，不得不小心翼翼地走好每一步。年轻人穿着名牌运动鞋蹦蹦跳跳地走下小路，但我们很庆幸有厚厚的Vibram鞋底和登山杖——它们成了我们的救星。
不得不说，风景美不胜收——真是太棒了。可惜我太专注于保持直立，以至于没有充分欣赏。
其他问题：
我的Strava显示，到海边坐公交车要超过12英里，而不是宣传的10英里。
人太多了，尤其是少数人，他们觉得有权强行挤过去，不说“请”或“谢谢”——这不仅不礼貌，而且很危险。
我们参加了IO旅行团。不得不说，他们的组织非常完善，我们的导游Daphi也非常棒——热情又耐心——但这一天真的太漫长了。我们早上6点出发，可以看到漆黑的夜空中繁星点点，14个半小时后才回来。最后两个半小时的长途汽车之旅有些拖沓。
我听起来很消极，但这一切都令人难忘，而且是美好的回忆。我们没有时间压力，离开国家公园后喝了杯啤酒，在渡轮启航前还有充足的时间享用了一顿很晚的午餐。
这趟旅行，无论从哪个角度来说，都是一生难忘的。
