点评:During my journey to Madagascar in July, I had a layover in Addis Ababa International Airport.
To make the most of my travel convenience, I opted to stay two nights upon arrival and one night before departure in Addis Ababa. I lodged at The Stay Easy Plus Hotel during my stay, where I found the accommodations to be very clean and comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the fresh fruits I ordered through room service; they were refreshingly tasty, not overly sweet.
However, the processes at Addis Ababa International Airport were poorly organized, which left a negative impression. I hope for improvements in the future.
One of the highlights of my visit was the city tour, where I had the opportunity to see the preserved Lucy skeleton, a truly memorable experience. I also ventured to Debrelibanos to observe gelada baboons. Despite its proximity to Addis Ababa, the journey was marred by heavy traffic, resulting in a drive that took over four hours one way.
Regarding the local tour guide I hired, there were some ups and downs. Initially, the guide didn't provide a clear tour plan until we met in person. After discussing my interests, we outlined the sights I would visit and agreed upon a price. Towards the end of my trip, the guide improved and presented a clearer itinerary. One day was spent exploring the area around Ziway Lake, where, unfortunately, we didn't spot any hippos due to the guide mentioning they had moved away because of the cold weather. Despite this, I did enjoy observing a variety of birds.
The guide did demonstrate good knowledge of the area, although there were instances where additional charges were proposed for visits to nearby locations, which I declined. Overall, while knowledgeable about the destinations, the guide's execution of tours could benefit from more experience and clearer communication.
翻译:7 月份去马达加斯加旅行时,我在亚的斯亚贝巴国际机场短暂停留。
为了充分利用旅行便利,我选择在抵达后和出发前在亚的斯亚贝巴住两晚。住宿期间,我住在 The Stay Easy Plus Hotel,那里的住宿条件非常干净舒适。我特别喜欢通过客房服务订购的新鲜水果;它们清爽可口,不会过甜。
然而,亚的斯亚贝巴国际机场的流程组织得很糟糕,给人留下了负面印象。我希望未来能有所改善。
我此次旅行的亮点之一是城市之旅,在那里我有机会看到保存完好的露西骨架,这是一次真正难忘的经历。我还冒险去了德布雷利巴诺斯观察狮尾狒狒。尽管离亚的斯亚贝巴很近,但旅途却因交通拥堵而受到影响,单程车程超过四个小时。
至于我聘请的当地导游,有些不尽如人意。最初,导游直到我们见面后才提供明确的旅游计划。在讨论了我的兴趣之后,我们概述了我要参观的景点并商定了价格。在旅行即将结束时,导游改进了行程,并提供了更清晰的行程。我们花了一天时间探索 Ziway 湖周围的区域,不幸的是,我们没有发现任何河马,因为导游提到它们因为天气寒冷而搬走了。尽管如此,我确实喜欢观察各种鸟类。
导游确实展示了对该地区良好的了解,尽管有些情况下,导游建议对附近地点进行额外收费,但我拒绝了。总体而言,虽然导游对目的地很了解,但导游的旅游执行可以从更多的经验和更清晰的沟通中受益。
