点评:Where do I even begin? Amazing holiday from start to finish. We hired the Shannon Star 8 berth boat from Emerald Star for 7 nights in Portumna. Staff were so friendly in reception and Karl who gave us the induction was so helpful and reassuring. We were novices and starting out with just the two of us so a bit nervous but we got used to handling her quickly. The boat was spotless and spacious plus equipped with everything we needed. We picked up and dropped off family members throughout the week with a maximum of 6 staying over at any one time and we had plenty of space. It was during the heatwave so gorgeous weather and the lake breeze was fabulous. Everyone absolutely loved the experience out on the open lake, meandering through the river to Scariff, through the locks to Banagher, Irish music session in JJ Houghs bar, sunsets on deck, fab lunch in the Derg Inn in lovely Terryglass followed by a pint in Paddy's pub, picnic and walk on Meelick weir and the forest stroll in Garrykennedy. Finished off back on Portumna and a stroll to the castle and friary. So very sorry to hand back the keys. Definitely will do this again. Most wonderfully lazy way to explore villages and towns in Ireland.
翻译:该从何说起呢?这段假期简直棒极了,从头到尾都完美无缺。我们在Portumna租下了Emerald Star公司提供的、可容纳8人的Shannon Star游艇,租期7晚。接待处的工作人员非常友善,为我们进行培训的Karl也热心且让人安心。我们俩都是初次体验船艇航行,所以有点紧张,但很快就掌握了操作方法。游艇干净整洁、空间宽敞,还配备了我们所需要的一切设施。整个星期里,我们不断接送家人——任何时候最多只有6个人留宿,而房子里的空间也绰绰有余。当时正值热浪来袭,天气极好,湖面上的微风更是令人心旷神怡。所有人都无比陶醉于在湖上航行的体验:沿着河道蜿蜒前行直至斯卡里夫,经过水闸后抵达巴纳格尔;还在JJ Houghs酒吧里欣赏了爱尔兰音乐表演;在甲板上欣赏日落;在风景如画的特里格拉斯镇的Derg Inn享用了一顿美妙的午餐,随后又去Paddy’s酒吧喝了一杯。在米利克水坝处野餐并散步,随后又在加里肯尼迪的森林中漫步。最后回到波特乌姆纳,沿着河边漫步至城堡和修道院。真不舍得交还钥匙啊!以后一定还会再来。这绝对是探索爱尔兰各村庄与小镇的最惬意、最慵懒的方式。
