Plum Orchard CHRISTMAS Tour
Plum Orchard Mansion的点评
点评：This review is specific to the CHRISTMAS tour. We’ve been to Plum Orchard several times in the past but heard about the special Christmas event so we brought first-timers with us. When we booked the tour, we were told to dress better than when typically visiting the island, and that period food would be served. We *assumed* we would have a dedicated ferry to and from the Plum Orchard dock which was reinforced by the email confirmation outlining the schedule and 45-minute ferry ride. When we arrived at the dock the day of the event, there was all sorts of attire so we would have been fine w outdoor/hiking garb. The ferry ride was just under TWO hours. We not only stopped at Sea Camp, but Dungeness, too. We had to do some significant back tracking to get around a sandbar. Granted, we got some up close views of Kings Bay and dolphin sightings, but…did I mention TWO hours? Once at Plum Orchard, it was very organized. They took us in groups, starting at various stations within the mansion so we weren’t on top of each other. They had activities at many of the stations which were period-appropriate and charming. It’s not the full tour we’ve received in the past but pretty darned close. The food we were promised was store-bought cookies that were *likely* served in the day and jugs of cider and lemonade. The trek back was even worse than going. The weather wasn’t great this day but it was really raining coming back and indoor seating is limited. Imagine a ferry full of the sizable tour group and then add the normal Island trekkers and overnight campers ready to return with their wagons of gear, bikes, etc. And we all want to sit inside. For two hours. There were many expressions of safety concerns as well. There was extremely limited visibility coming and going yet no required signaling of the ferry horn. It’s also highly unlikely there were life preservers for all on board, or that they could even be accessed due to the passengers being crammed in like sardines. It was shameful that two ferries didn’t run that day. Overall assessment: unless there’s a commitment of a dedicated ferry, skip it unless 4 hours on a ferry w potentially nothing to see for 1 hour of tour is your idea of fun. If it is, dress comfortably and bring a backpack w food, drink, and a deck of cards.
翻译：这篇评论是针对圣诞节巡演的。我们过去去过梅园好几次，但听说有特别的圣诞节活动，所以我们带了第一次来的人。当我们预订这次旅行时，我们被告知要比平时游览岛屿时穿得更好，并且会提供那个时期的食物。我们*假设*我们会有专门的渡轮往返 Plum Orchard 码头，概述时间表和 45 分钟渡轮行程的电子邮件确认函进一步强化了这一点。当我们在活动当天到达码头时，那里有各种各样的服装，所以我们穿户外/徒步旅行服装就可以了。渡轮车程不到两个小时。我们不仅停在了Sea Camp，还停在了Dungeness。我们必须进行一些重大的回溯才能绕过沙洲。当然，我们近距离观察了国王湾和海豚的踪迹，但是……我有没有提到两个小时？到了梅园，一切都井井有条。他们把我们分成几组，从宅邸内的各个车站出发，这样我们就不会互相重叠。他们在许多车站举办了适合时代的、迷人的活动。这不是我们过去收到的完整巡演，但非常接近。我们承诺的食物是商店买的饼干，“可能”当天供应，还有几罐苹果酒和柠檬水。回来的路比走更糟糕。这天天气不太好，但回来时真的下雨了，室内座位有限。想象一下，一艘渡轮上载满了相当大的旅行团，然后加上普通的岛屿徒步旅行者和过夜露营者，准备带着他们的装备、自行车等货车返回。我们都想坐在里面。两个小时。也有许多人表达了对安全的担忧。进出的能见度极其有限，但没有必要发出渡轮喇叭信号。机上所有人都不太可能配备救生衣，或者由于乘客像沙丁鱼一样挤在一起，因此甚至可以使用救生衣。遗憾的是当天有两艘渡轮没有运行。总体评价：除非有专门的渡轮承诺，否则请跳过它，除非您想在渡轮上花 4 小时，而 1 小时的旅行可能没什么可看的，这就是您的乐趣所在。如果是，请穿着舒适并带上装有食物、饮料和一副扑克牌的背包。
