点评:Dino and the primo were wonderful, always friendly, polite, respectful, and fun. We chose Township Swakopmund tour, they took us to Mondesa town and open market where we tried some fatcake and meat. They tookd us to Herbal Damara to learn more about the herbs they use to heal and the clicks they have on their vocabulary, sadly, I was not able to get them, but I will practice hahaha. Also we were taken to Ngaturihonge Day Care, where the lovely owner wearing the traditional Herero Dress show us how the school started, all the values and principles taught to children, explained about their traditions and the meaning of the Herero Dress : distinctive horned headdress. Introduced by German missionaries in the late 19th century, the dresses now symbolize(Victorian horned headdress, introduced by German missionaries in the late 19th century, now symbolizes Herero resiliency for having survived the German colonization and genocide of 100 years ago. Then as part of the tour, we went to hear the amazing Swakopmund Acapella Singers, amazing singers, we felt so proud that Dino and el Primo were part of the group, everybody enjoyed their songs and great vibe.
And yes, we had the time that everybody either waits happily or tries to avoid the food tasting time. In the front yard of the owner house, we tried Omahangu porridge, Mopane worms and white beans; very nice experience, liked the beans and the worms. And as we could not leave without trying the traditional drinks, we went to this beer garden where my friends tried local beer and I tried Savana, a nice local cider.
As we needed to come back to the ship, our amazing tours guides took us back.
We really enjoyed the tour, the places and the people.
Dankie all!
翻译:迪诺和他的表弟非常棒,总是那么友好、礼貌、尊重人,而且风趣幽默。我们选择了斯瓦科普蒙德镇区之旅,他们带我们去了蒙德萨镇和露天市场,在那里我们品尝了油炸饼和肉类。他们还带我们去了达马拉草药店,了解他们用来治病的草药以及他们独特的词汇,可惜我没能听懂,但我会努力学习的,哈哈。之后,他们又带我们去了恩加图里洪格日托中心,那里可爱的园长穿着传统的赫雷罗族服饰,向我们介绍了学校的创办历程、孩子们所学习的价值观和原则,并解释了他们的传统以及赫雷罗族服饰(尤其是那独特的带角头饰)的含义。这些服饰是19世纪末由德国传教士引入的,如今象征着赫雷罗族人坚韧不拔的精神,他们从100年前德国的殖民统治和种族灭绝中幸存下来。维多利亚时代的角状头饰也是由德国传教士在19世纪末引入的。之后,作为行程的一部分,我们去欣赏了斯瓦科普蒙德无伴奏合唱团的精彩演出。他们的歌声令人惊艳,我们为迪诺和埃尔·普里莫是其中的一员而感到无比自豪。每个人都沉浸在他们的歌声和美妙的氛围中。
当然,我们也体验了品尝当地美食的环节,每个人都有的兴高采烈地等待,有的则试图避开。在主人家的前院,我们品尝了奥马汉古粥、莫帕内虫和白豆;这是一次非常棒的体验,我很喜欢白豆和虫子。既然不能错过品尝当地传统饮品,我们就去了啤酒花园。我的朋友们品尝了当地啤酒,而我则品尝了萨瓦纳,一种美味的当地苹果酒。
因为我们需要回来。回到船上,我们出色的导游带我们返回。
我们非常享受这次旅行,沿途的风景和遇到的人都让我们印象深刻。
谢谢大家!
