点评:We LOVED our tour with locals Thora and Andre! They tailored the experience to our interests and included several stops that we wouldn't have known to ask about. Our adult children (19 and 23) enjoyed it as much as we did. They got to try out the Westman islands sport of Sprangen! We saw the Herjolfsdalur area where the National Festival is held, and visited the Herjolfstown recreation of the first Viking home in Iceland. They knew the best spot to see puffins, and introduced us to the other bird species (also wonderful, if not quite as charismatic) that populate the island, the kittiwake and Gille-mots. We also got a guided tour of the Sea Life Trust Beluga conservatory and puffin hospital! Along the way, our guides shared many personal stories about growing up on the island and about their families' experience after the eruption of 1973. We enjoyed it so much, we all agreed that we could have spent several more hours happily exploring the island with them. We understand now that one day is definitely not enough, and we hope to return one day!! Thank you, Thora and Andre!! If you are ever visiting Chicago, we'd love to return the favor!
翻译:我们喜欢与当地人索拉和安德烈一起旅行!他们根据我们的兴趣定制了这次体验,并包括了一些我们不知道要询问的站点。我们的成年子女(19 岁和 23 岁)和我们一样喜欢它。他们必须尝试一下斯普兰根的韦斯特曼群岛运动!我们参观了举办国家节日的Herjolfsdalur地区,并参观了冰岛第一个维京人家园的Herjolfstown娱乐场所。他们知道观赏海雀的最佳地点,并向我们介绍了岛上的其他鸟类(虽然没有那么有魅力,但也很精彩):三趾鸥和海雀。我们还得到了海洋生物信托基金会白鲸温室和海雀医院的导游参观!一路上,我们的导游分享了许多关于在岛上长大的个人故事,以及他们家人在 1973 年火山喷发后的经历。我们非常喜欢它,我们都同意我们可以多花几个小时愉快地探索这个岛屿。他们。我们现在明白一天肯定不够,希望有一天能回来!!谢谢你们,托拉和安德烈!!如果您曾经访问芝加哥,我们很乐意回报您!
