Goats, dolphins a whale and a lighthouse!
Cape Clear Island - Cape Clear Ferries的点评
点评:We had a fantastic trip out on the Cape Clear Ferry to the island, where we spent a lovely couple of hours exploring the island and meeting the Clear goats (great ice cream). There’s a cafe/ village store at the harbour where you can sit with a soup or a coffee whilst you wait for the Cape Clear Fastnet ferry to come and pick you up.
This second part of the trip was superb. The crew on board could not have been more helpful and considerate.
We were lucky with a very calm sea and just after leaving Cape Clear the boat was surrounded by a large pod of common dolphins. The skipper took his time and let them approach. Just when it couldn’t get any better a minke whale turned up for the party.
Onward to the Fastnet lighthouse, where a pre-recorded commentary is played as the boat goes round the island clockwise then anti clockwise giving everyone a good view.
We were back in port in Baltimore at 4.30pm.
翻译:我们乘坐凯普克利尔渡轮前往该岛,度过了一次美妙的旅程。我们在岛上漫步了两个多小时,还见到了那些可爱的克利尔山羊(那里的冰淇淋也超好吃)。港口处有一家咖啡馆兼村舍小店,等待凯普克利尔-法斯特内特渡轮来接我们时,可以在那里喝着汤或咖啡休息一下。
行程的后半段同样棒极了。船上的工作人员极其热心且体贴入微。我们很幸运,海面极为平静。刚离开克利尔角后,船只便被一大群真海豚包围。船长不急不躁,任由它们靠近。就在一切美好到极致之时,一头小须鲸也加入了这场“派对”。
随后我们前往法斯特内特灯塔。船只先顺时针、再逆时针绕岛航行,期间会播放预先录制好的解说词,确保每位乘客都能一览无余。
下午4点30分,我们顺利返回巴尔的摩港。
