点评:My niece and I took the “Turkey Train” to celebrate our birthdays. When you check in at the waiting area/gift shop (with restrooms available), you’re given your table number. When you board the train, look for the number above the table.
The train travelled slowly from Meredith, through The Weirs, along Paugus Bay to Lakeport, where it stopped briefly before traveling backwards to the return to Meredith. The slow pace made eating easy without the rocking you might expect.
The scenery was very nice. The route passes beaches, cottages, camps, and marinas, with the lake a constant presence in the background. We saw the Mount Washington heading out of The Weirs, a fair amount of boat traffic, and a couple of loons.
Dinner was the famous turkey dinner from Harts (rolls, turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, squash, cranberry sauce, and gravy). Apple crisp with whipped cream was for dessert. The portions were enormous. You were given a 16.9oz bottle of water to accompany your meal.
We spent the extra money for a private table since it was a celebratory event. If there are only two of you and you do not, you will be seated with two other people which may or may not make for a lovely excursion.
We very much enjoyed the experience, but wouldn’t repeat it at that price point.
翻译:我和侄女乘坐了“火鸡列车”来庆祝我们的生日。在候车区/礼品店(设有洗手间)办理登记手续后,我们会得到一个桌号。登上列车后,只要找到相应编号的桌子即可。
列车从梅雷迪思出发,缓缓途经韦尔斯地区,沿着波格斯湾驶向莱克波特。列车在莱克波特稍作停留后便折返,最终回到梅雷迪思。列车行驶速度很慢,因此用餐时也不会出现类似其他列车那样的摇晃感,十分方便。风景非常优美。路线经过海滩、小屋、露营地和码头,湖面始终作为背景映入眼帘。我们看到了从The Weirs出发的华盛顿山号轮船,还有不少船只往来穿梭,也看到了几只潜鸟。
晚餐是Harts餐厅著名的火鸡大餐(面包卷、火鸡肉、土豆泥、填充料、南瓜、蔓越莓酱和肉汁)。甜点则是配着鲜奶油的苹果酥。分量极其丰富。我们拿到了16……随餐会提供一瓶9盎司的矿泉水。
因为这次是庆祝活动,我们额外付费预订了私人桌位。如果只有两个人且未预订,则会被安排与其他两人同桌,这样的安排或许能带来愉快的体验,也或许不会。
我们非常享受这次用餐体验,但以这个价格来说,应该不会再选择了。
