点评:This workshop was recommended by a friend after seeing it on Holidaying with Jane McDonald. As I like to participate in memorable, cultural activities with local communities when I travel, this looked ideal as there isn't maybe tour/workshops like this available.
It is ran by Stefanie and her husband Tony - such a lovely, friendly couple. We booked direct as it was a lot cheaper and I could ask some questions (i.e. my husband wanted to be there but not take part so didn't have to pay).
This is great as a solo activity like I did, or as a couple or a group. You are greeted by Stefanie and then given some scissors and a basket to collect the nature you want to include - the more the better.
Then they talk through the traditional sun printing method - all very easy - and you get to be as creative and fun as you want. While it is drying, we got some snacks and a drink - there was also water available throughout if we wanted it. I'd also recommend lots of sun cream and a hat as there is no shelter from the sun.
It is located up a mountain, so the road (which is typical in Mahe) was quite challenging, but just take it slow or get a taxi. It would be a tough uphill walk from Beau Vallon beach, but doable.
By the end of it we could take away our beautiful sarong. There was no rush and we were welcome to stay as long as we wanted - the views are to die for at the top!! There is also a small shop on-site. Please note: cash only.
Definitely one of the most memorable parts of our holiday and one of the most unique workshops I've done while travelling.
翻译:这个工作坊是一位朋友在《与简·麦克唐纳度假》中看到后推荐的。由于我喜欢在旅行时与当地社区一起参加难忘的文化活动,这看起来很理想,因为可能没有这样的旅游/研讨会。
它由斯蒂芬妮和她的丈夫托尼经营——一对非常可爱、友好的夫妇。我们直接预订,因为它便宜得多,我可以问一些问题(即我丈夫想去那里但不参加,所以不必付费)。
这对于像我一样的单独活动,或者作为情侣或团体来说都是很棒的。斯蒂芬妮会向您打招呼,然后给您一些剪刀和一个篮子来收集您想要包含的自然元素 - 越多越好。
然后他们会讨论传统的太阳印花方法 - 一切都非常简单 - 你可以随心所欲地发挥创意和乐趣。当它干燥时,我们得到了一些零食和饮料 - 如果我们需要的话,整个过程中也可以提供水。我还建议使用大量防晒霜和帽子,因为没有遮蔽阳光的地方。
它位于山上,所以道路(这是马埃岛的典型道路)相当具有挑战性,但只要慢慢走或乘坐出租车即可。从博瓦隆海滩步行上山会很艰难,但也是可行的。
到最后我们就可以拿走我们美丽的纱笼了。并不着急,我们欢迎想待多久就待多久——山顶的景色真是美极了!酒店内还设有一家小商店。请注意:只收现金。
这绝对是我们假期中最难忘的部分之一,也是我在旅行时做过的最独特的研讨会之一。
