点评:We joined a tour of the lava tunnels with a French group of 10, led by our guide Simon. The tour took about 3 hours and was a thrilling experience. Simon translated the most important facts into English for us and took great care to make us feel a part of the group. So did many of the other group members - a collection of adventurous people with good humor- there was a lot of laughing and interaction.
The excursion is quite challenging. The lava caves are pitch black, hot and humid. We were soaked by sweat and water. The caves are pretty gloomy with interesting minerals and astonishing shapes- round, smooth, almost organic - which made me think of Alien movies. We did not feel claustrophobic. However, I regretted bringing a backpack which felt like a burden.
To us, the Highlight of the trip was when Simon asked us to switch off all lights and listen to the silence for a couple of minutes. That was magical.
It was an exhausting trip but one of the most unique and memorable experiences we made on La Réunion.
翻译:我们和一个 10 人的法国旅行团一起参加了熔岩隧道之旅,由我们的导游西蒙带领。这次旅行历时约3小时,是一次惊心动魄的经历。西蒙为我们将最重要的事实翻译成英语,并非常小心地让我们感觉自己是团队的一部分。许多其他小组成员也是如此——一群富有冒险精神且幽默的人——有很多欢笑和互动。
这次旅行非常具有挑战性。熔岩洞漆黑、炎热、潮湿。我们都被汗水和水浸湿了。这些洞穴非常阴暗,里面有有趣的矿物质和令人惊叹的形状——圆形、光滑、几乎是有机的——这让我想起了外星人电影。我们没有感到幽闭恐惧症。然而,我很遗憾带了一个背包,感觉像是一种负担。
对我们来说,这次旅行的亮点是西蒙要求我们关掉所有灯并聆听几分钟的寂静。那太神奇了。
这是一次筋疲力尽的旅行,但却是我们在留尼汪岛上最独特、最难忘的经历之一。
