点评:We booked an early morning safari with Mr Lucky who sent a tuk tuk driver to pick us up from our hotel. We were fortunate to be the only 2 people going out on the boat that day. In passing we mentioned that it was our wedding anniversary and Mr Lucky was thrilled that we had decided to spend the morning on his safari. From the moment we set off, he was engaging, entertaining and enthusiastic about what he could show us of Bentota Ganga.
First stop was the mangroves, which he guided us expertly through. On entering we saw fox faced fruit bats and the myriad of roots and branches coming from the mangroves. Into the main river we saw 2 large crocodiles along with many birds such as the sea eagle and blue kingfisher. Next we made a stop off to visit a local man who rescues and rehabilitates baby crocodiles. We met Alina, a 7 month old baby croc and were treated to a cup of lime tea and coconut biscuits by his wife, which was lovely.
Next we headed to the Ayurvedic hospital and walked around the herbal gardens where one of the doctors explained how the herbs and spices were used in ayurvedic medicine. It was very interesting and informative. On the way back we had a wonderful experience hand feeding the wild Langur monkeys that Mr Lucky coaxed down from the tress with bananas for us.
With another crocodile sighting and a huge water monitor lizard swimming in front of the boat, we made our way back to the jetty, passing the temple Bheemathiththa Rajamaha Viharaya on the side of the river.
When we got back to the jetty, Mr Lucky had organised a beautiful Anniversary cake and cups of tea to celebrate. We were so shocked at this wonderful gesture, he really made our day very special. Mr Lucky has a great knowledge and understanding on the environment around him that he grew up in. We would not hesitate to recommend his tour. Thank you Mr Lucky for one of the best Anniversary's we could have wished for!
翻译:我们预订了Lucky先生的清晨游猎之旅,他派了一辆嘟嘟车来酒店接我们。幸运的是,那天只有我们两个人乘船出海。我们顺便提到今天是我们的结婚纪念日,Lucky先生得知我们决定参加他的游猎之旅,非常高兴。从出发的那一刻起,他就热情洋溢、妙语连珠,兴致勃勃地向我们介绍本托塔河的种种美景。
第一站是红树林,他带领我们熟练地穿行其中。进入红树林后,我们看到了狐蝠,以及从红树林中伸出的无数根根枝条。进入主河道后,我们看到了两条大鳄鱼,以及许多鸟类,例如海雕和蓝翠鸟。接下来,我们拜访了一位救助和康复小鳄鱼的当地人。我们遇到了七个月大的小鳄鱼阿丽娜,鳄鱼主人还热情地招待我们喝了酸橙茶,吃了椰子饼干,真是太棒了。
之后,我们去了阿育吠陀医院,在草药园里漫步,一位医生为我们讲解了草药和香料在阿育吠陀医学中的应用。讲解非常有趣,也很有启发性。回程途中,我们有幸亲手喂了野生长尾叶猴,它们被Lucky先生用香蕉引诱到树上下来喂食。
途中我们又看到了鳄鱼,还有一只巨大的水巨蜥在船前游来游去。之后,我们返回码头,途中经过了河边的比玛提塔拉贾玛哈维哈拉亚寺。
回到码头后,我们发现Lucky先生已经为我们准备了精美的周年纪念蛋糕和茶水。这份贴心的举动让我们惊喜不已,他真的让我们的这一天变得格外特别。 Lucky先生对他成长的环境有着深刻的了解和认识。我们毫不犹豫地推荐他的导览。感谢Lucky先生,为我们打造了最棒的周年纪念日之一!
