点评:The Canal du Midi was so beautiful and our 7 day self-guided canal boat cruise turned out to be an amazing adventure. Our group of 3 women (the Boat Babes) boarded our boat in Port Cassafieres, with final destination at Homps. Everything with our Le Boat went flawlessly and staff were welcoming & informative. Additional things such such a pre-payment for diesel, tools for water & sewage, were clearly explained. We selected to ''Hire a Skipper for the day" on day one, and what a great decision. Our skipper, the charming Jens, joined us on board and helped us with boating, mooring & roping skills over seven hours as we navigated through locks and cruised down river to Marseillan. His excellent boating skills, positive & calm encouragement, local knowledge and lively conversation, were a godsend. He showed us the ropes (quite literally) and we recommend the Hire a Skipper option to others who are new to boating. As we were early in the season there were no crowds, the lock keepers were helpful and charming and, in most cases, we had the locks to ourselves. The weather was amazing and food & wine available along the route were superb. This was one of the best trips I've been on and I definitely plan to return.
翻译:米迪运河美不胜收,我们为期7天的自助游船之旅也成为了一次令人难忘的冒险。我们一行三人(自称“船友团”)在卡萨菲耶尔港登船,最终目的地是霍姆斯。我们的Le Boat游船一切都非常顺利,船员热情友好,乐于助人。此外,他们还清楚地解释了柴油预付费用、水和污水处理工具等事项。第一天我们就选择了“包船一日游”,这真是个明智的决定。我们那魅力十足的船长延斯(Jens)上了船,在接下来的七个小时里,他指导我们掌握了航行、系泊和绳索操作等技巧,带领我们穿过船闸,顺流而下前往马尔塞扬(Marseillan)。他精湛的航海技术、积极沉稳的鼓励、丰富的当地知识以及风趣的谈吐,简直是雪中送炭。他手把手地教我们(字面意义上的),我们强烈推荐给其他航海新手选择“包船一日游”。由于我们去的时候正值旅游旺季初期,所以船上人不多,船闸管理员热情友好,而且大多数情况下,我们都能独享船闸。天气也棒极了,沿途的美食美酒更是美味无比。这绝对是我经历过的最棒的旅行之一,我一定会再次光临。
