点评:Two friends and I stayed with Dot and Alex at Markham House for two nights between Christmas and New Year. In short: it was awful.
There was just too much wildlife. Everywhere you looked—penguins. But they stink, because Dot and Alex don't wash them. Ever. And don't get me started on the dolphins, or the seals, or the whales, or even the birds. It was just too much. How can you possible enjoy yourself when every moment something new pops up? It was exhausting.
And everyone raves about Dot and Alex's hospitality, but what they don't tell you is that they're just total show-offs, serving lamb from their own farm, or locally caught toothfish, or custard made from scratch. Alright, I get it, you're great cooks using local food. Boring!
Honestly, if perfection and beauty and great hospitality are your thing, I guess this is the trip for you. For me, it was unbearable. The only thing that was alright was Dot's driving, which was OK - for a woman.
(Thanks Dot, Alex & family, we loved it really! Aimee & friends)
翻译:我和两个朋友在圣诞节和新年期间在 Markham House 的 Dot 和 Alex 家住了两个晚上。简而言之:太糟糕了。
野生动物实在太多了。到处都是企鹅。但它们很臭,因为 Dot 和 Alex 从来不给它们洗澡。从不。更别提海豚、海豹、鲸鱼甚至鸟类了。实在是太多了。当每时每刻都有新事物出现时,你怎么可能享受生活?这太累了。
每个人都对 Dot 和 Alex 的热情好客赞不绝口,但他们没有告诉你的是,他们只是在炫耀,用他们自己农场的羊肉、当地捕获的洋枪鱼或从头开始制作的蛋奶冻。好吧,我明白了,你们用当地食物做饭很棒。真无聊!
老实说,如果你喜欢完美、美丽和热情好客,我想这次旅行适合你。对我来说,这是无法忍受的。唯一可以接受的是 Dot 的驾驶技术,对于一个女人来说,这还算可以。
(感谢 Dot、Alex 和家人,我们真的很喜欢!Aimee 和朋友们)
