点评:On Friday, July 10, my wife, Pam, and I took the SS Badger ferry from Ludington to Manitowoc as the final leg back home after vacationing in Michigan. Bottomline, it was a fantastic voyage. Imagine being on a big ship with over 500 other passengers but there was no loud music, crazy rides or attractions and just a peaceful, relaxing trip across Lake Michigan for four hours. We sat outside on the lounge chairs taking in the sun and enjoying the calm waters and warm breeze. Food and beverage choices were good and reasonably priced. I went to the on-board Gift Shop and the staff was very helpful finding a nice t-shirt in my size. Bought a book on the history of the Ferry ships that crossed the lake and then just relaxed on the upper deck. It caused me to think about passengers ships of the early 1900's that were quiet and peaceful - not the over-crowded and over-stimulating monster cruise ships of today. Not only was it a pleasure to experience but it saved us from having to spend six hours driving around the chaos of the Chicago area. We're so glad we made this trip. It was the perfect ending of a week long vacation in Michigan. We will definitely do it again!
翻译:7月10日星期五,我和妻子帕姆结束了在密歇根的假期,乘坐SS Badger号渡轮从卢丁顿前往马尼托沃克,作为回家的最后一程。总而言之,这是一次非常棒的旅程。想象一下,你和其他500多名乘客一起乘坐一艘大船,但船上没有喧闹的音乐、刺激的游乐设施或景点,只有四个小时宁静轻松的密歇根湖之旅。我们坐在甲板上的躺椅上,沐浴着阳光,享受着平静的湖面和温暖的微风。船上的食物和饮料种类丰富,价格也合理。我去了船上的礼品店,店员非常热情地帮我找到了一件合身的T恤。我还买了一本关于横渡密歇根湖的渡轮历史的书,然后就在上层甲板上放松休息。这让我想起了20世纪初那些安静祥和的客轮——而不是如今这些拥挤不堪、令人眼花缭乱的巨型游轮。这次旅行不仅令人愉悦,还让我们免去了在芝加哥地区拥堵路段开车六个小时的麻烦。我们非常庆幸做了这次旅行。这为我们在密歇根为期一周的假期画上了完美的句号。我们一定会再次前往!
