点评:Saw an article in the Daily Telegraph about this and decided it would be perfect to celebrate our 25th Wedding anniversary. We met at the side of the canal as indicated on the instructions. Someone was at the top of the stairs to the towpath as it was raining. The narrow boat is a wide than normal one to accommodate the grand Piano in the Salon. We were all seated in a really beautifully designed cabin with seats for a maximum of 10 people. Its a slow trip up the canal through some locks then moored for our approx. 45 min recital of Piano and Violin pieces from two professional musicians of a very high standard. Then a delightful afternoon tea with a glass of Champagne for the return trip. Total 4 hours (1-5pm). Other trips have different musicians and programs. I can't speak highly enough of the most delightful afternoon I have spent in a long time. Music quality, proximity of the musicians in a small venue almost like being in your own living room and then a delightful afternoon tea with sandwiches, individual pavlova, mouse and fresh scones. During our trip we talked with the other patrons who were all very nice people. Our host Rhiana was a charming lady and made the afternoon teas herself. He father was our captain. If you like Classical music in a unique venue. This is a fantastic experience. I would give it ten stars if I could.
翻译:我在《每日电讯报》上看到一篇关于这趟旅程的文章,觉得用它来庆祝我们结婚25周年纪念日再合适不过了。我们按照指示在运河边集合。当时下着雨,有人在通往拖船道的台阶顶端等候。这艘窄船比一般的船要宽敞一些,以便容纳沙龙里的三角钢琴。我们都坐在一个设计精美的船舱里,最多可容纳10人。我们沿着运河缓缓前行,穿过几座船闸,然后靠岸,欣赏两位技艺精湛的专业音乐家带来的约45分钟钢琴和小提琴演奏。之后,我们享用了美味的下午茶,并在返程途中品尝了一杯香槟。整个行程共4小时(下午1点至5点)。其他航次的音乐家和节目安排可能有所不同。这真是我很久以来度过的最美好的下午,我简直无法用语言来形容。音乐品质极佳,小巧的场地让乐手们近在咫尺,仿佛置身自家客厅一般。下午茶更是令人愉悦,包括三明治、迷你蛋白酥、慕斯和新鲜出炉的司康饼。旅途中,我们与其他客人交谈甚欢,他们都非常友善。我们的主人瑞安娜是一位魅力十足的女士,下午茶都是她亲手准备的。她的父亲是我们的领队。如果您喜欢在别具一格的场地欣赏古典音乐,这绝对是一次难忘的体验。如果可以,我真想给它十颗星!
