Conference breather and a beautiful and inspiring break , total immersion in the wild Atlantic way
The Adventure Islands, Collanmore Island的点评
点评:We were driven from the hotel to the pier where a fine rib helmed by Eoin was ready and gave us an exciting spin out to the island. Ciaran, Tracy and Tom were all ready and waiting with a warm and friendly welcome and the sauna was fired up and roasting. We stripped off and jumped in the sea followed by a very healthy and beautiful hour of swimming and sauna alternating. The water was clear and warmer than expected. We then had an energising and inspiring walk around the island with truly Atlantean views of 50 island separated by channels of turbulent water under clouds scudding briskly with light showers between lighthouses and piers. The Pirate Queen , Granuaile , could have played hide and seek. Lunch in the lodge and some warm liquid refreshments put a reassuring and snug cap on our morning as we tucked into soup , sandwiches, doughnuts and biccies , and Ciaran , Tom and Tracey told us the tales of the place and the characters of the area. I wish we were overnighting cos the bunks and rooms looked clean and cosy. I’ll be bringing the extended family down come summer
翻译:我们从酒店乘车前往码头,一艘由Eoin掌舵的快艇早已准备就绪,载着我们兴奋地驶向小岛。Ciaran、Tracy和Tom早已等候多时,热情友好地迎接我们,桑拿房也已生火,热气腾腾。我们脱掉衣服,跳入大海,随后享受了一个小时的游泳和桑拿交替进行的健康而美好的时光。海水清澈温暖,比预想的还要好。之后,我们环岛漫步,精神抖擞,令人心旷神怡。50座岛屿被湍急的水道分隔开来,云层在灯塔和码头间飞速掠过,夹杂着阵阵细雨,构成了一幅宛如亚特兰蒂斯般的壮丽景象。海盗女王号“Granuaile”仿佛就在我们身边,随时准备和我们玩捉迷藏。在小木屋里享用午餐,再配上一些热饮,我们舒舒服服地吃着汤、三明治、甜甜圈和饼干,舒舒服服地结束了上午的行程。Ciaran、Tom 和 Tracey 给我们讲述了这个地方的故事和当地居民的趣闻轶事。真希望我们能在这里过夜,因为床铺和房间看起来干净又舒适。夏天的时候,我一定要带全家人一起来。
