点评:We took a private tour of the British Sector ("Neptune B") on April 19, 2025 with Florin Petre. He picked us up at our hotel in Bayeux at 08:30, and did not drop us off until shortly after 18:30. A long day, sure, but it was beyond great. Indeed, to indicate just how good this tour was, we discussed getting lunch at one stage and never did: everything was so interesting that we just carried on (admittedly we had a big dinner that night!). We started off at Pegasus Bridge, where it rapidly became clear that Florin was a human encyclopedia. We had requested an addition to his usual tour of the Merville Battery so that was next. Our tour continued with a visit to a British Cemetery, Sword, Juno and Gold Beaches, stories of Lord Lovat and Piper Millin, Colleville Sur Mer, the story of Stan Hollis who won the only Victoria Cross on D-Day, a tour of hill "Hillman", the recent British Memorial, Arromanches and the remaining Mulberries, and the battery at Longues-Sur-Mer. At each stop, Florin could provide detailed commentary together with numerous relevant photographs to explain what had happened (together with some interesting commentary as we drove back to Bayeux regarding William the Conqueror). While a private tour of this nature is not cheap, we both felt that it was very worthwhile and cannot praise Florin enough.
翻译:2025年4月19日,我们和弗洛林·佩特雷(Florin Petre)一起参加了一次英国区域(“海王星B”)的私人之旅。他早上8点30分到我们在巴约的酒店接我们,直到晚上6点30分才送我们回家。这的确是漫长的一天,但体验非常棒。事实上,为了证明这次旅行有多棒,我们一度讨论过一起吃午饭,但最终没去:一切都太有趣了,我们只好继续往前走(当然,那天晚上我们吃了一顿丰盛的晚餐!)。我们从飞马桥(Pegasus Bridge)出发,在那里我们很快就发现弗洛林简直就是一部百科全书。我们之前要求他除了常规的梅维尔炮台之旅外,再加一个,所以接下来就是梅维尔炮台之旅了。我们的旅程继续进行,参观了英国公墓、宝剑海滩、朱诺海滩和黄金海滩,聆听了洛瓦特勋爵和派珀·米林的故事,了解了滨海科勒维尔,了解了在诺曼底登陆日获得唯一一枚维多利亚十字勋章的斯坦·霍利斯的故事,游览了“山人”山丘、新建成的英国纪念碑、阿罗芒什和残存的桑树丛,以及位于滨海隆格的炮台。每到一处,弗洛林都能提供详尽的讲解,并附上大量相关照片,解释当时发生的事情(在我们驱车返回巴约时,他还对征服者威廉做了一些有趣的评论)。虽然这种私人旅行并不便宜,但我们都觉得非常值得,对弗洛林赞不绝口。
