点评:We booked for the Orkney Day Tour having picked up a leaflet at a previous stop on our tour of the Far North. This is an excellent way of seeing the islands, we would never have been able to do it under our own steam. Obviously weather conditions will influence the whole experience, we watched the forecasts closely before picking a day, and were not disappointed with our tour. The Pentland Venture ferry is a little basic, but the voyage is only 40 min. The coach(es) were excellent and modern. The itinerary covered most significant attractions on the islands. Our stop at Kirkwall was long enough to grab lunch, though we found Stromness with its harbour and narrow streets to be more attractive. The stops to visit Skara Brae and the Ring of Brogdar were just about sufficient, though we thought the Italian PoW Chapel to be more worth noting rather than actually visiting. This is a great way to visit Orkney if you’re on a tour schedule. Recommended. Parking at John o Groats is in the ferry companies own area and is free, plenty of room for motorhomes.
翻译:我们预订了奥克尼群岛一日游,并在远北之旅的前一站领取了一份传单。这是游览岛屿的绝佳方式,如果我们靠自己的力量是永远无法做到的。显然,天气状况会影响整个体验,我们在选择日期之前仔细观看了天气预报,并且对我们的旅行并不失望。 Pentland Venture 渡轮有点简陋,但航程只有 40 分钟。教练非常优秀而且现代。行程涵盖了岛上最重要的景点。我们在柯克沃尔的停留时间足够长,可以吃午餐,但我们发现斯特罗姆内斯的港口和狭窄的街道更有吸引力。参观斯卡拉布雷和布罗格达尔之环的停留就足够了,尽管我们认为意大利战俘教堂比实际参观更值得一提。如果您有旅行计划,这是游览奥克尼群岛的绝佳方式。受到推崇的。 John o Groats 的停车场位于渡轮公司自己的区域内,免费,有足够的空间停放房车。
