点评:It started out wonderfully. Route 3 was like a dream!
Then we wandered on to Route 11. This was where things became more dicey. In order to get back home, we had to turn Route 11 into a circle, involving a surprise detour up a mountain - only for our newfound trail to re-join, quite mysteriously, Route 11 again, three hour later, and with no explanation. It felt like a game that Route 11 had played on us, and won. But then again, we enjoyed it very much, and for those in need, there is ice cream on Batsi beach.
Then we tried ALBA. This was advertised as for experienced hikers only. Having scaled the peaks surrounding Route 11 with no difficulty, we felt this description fit us well. After a happy climb up to the top, we thought it would be a simple question of winding our way down the famous fertile valley, perhaps with a stop to see what the craic was at what the map proclaimed was "Chrissie's House". Surely, coffee to be found at such a well marked spot. Well, no sir. No sooner had we begun the descent than a game of cat and mouse began, with us searching hopelessly for signs of the devious little red markers which supposedly point the way home.
Pointing us home, they were NOT.
We jumped off the roof of a house.
We had to get IN a river.
We got chased by sheep.
We bothered a Man, who saw us stumbling tiredly into a field of hay, and came to tell us that the path was not in fact, that way, but actually -
Up a CREVASSE.
When we finally stumbled out back onto the beach, we sort of fell into the sea, and in to the arms of the charming man at the bar who made us the best lemonade this side of Route 3.
And let me tell you now, those roads? Not for the faint hearted. We managed in a 1.1 Litre Chevrolet, but heed this as your warning.
All in all, pretty good! Would ALBA again. Pack a headscarf, sandwiches, and a sense of humour. If you've got this, you're in for a great time - STUNNING views, cool terrain, exciting wildlife, the chance at getting your hands on a fresh fig, and a big old adventure.
翻译:一切开始得十分美好。3号公路简直如梦境一般!
随后我们继续前行到了11号公路。从这时起情况就变得有点棘手了。为了回家,我们不得不把11号公路走成一个环线,过程中还意外地绕路上了山——然而三个小时后,那条新开辟的小路又莫名其妙地重新与11号公路汇合了,连个解释都没有。感觉就像是11号公路跟我们玩了个游戏,而且它赢了。不过话说回来,我们还是乐在其中的,对于那些喜欢冒险的人来说也如此。巴齐海滩上有冰淇淋。
接着我们尝试了ALBA这条路线。它被宣传为仅适合经验丰富的徒步者。由于我们已经轻松登上了11号路线周边的各座山峰,觉得这个描述很适合我们。愉快地爬到山顶后,我们原以为接下来只要沿着那条著名的肥沃山谷蜿蜒而下即可,或许还可以顺道去看看地图上标注为“克里西之屋”的地方究竟有什么有趣的事情发生。这么显眼的地方,肯定能找到咖啡喝吧。结果呢……不,先生。我们刚开始往下走,一场“猫捉老鼠”的游戏便开始了——我们拼命寻找那些据说能指引回家之路的红色标记。
可它们根本没能指引我们回家。
我们从屋顶跳下,不得不跳进河里;还遭到了羊群的追赶。后来有个男人看到了我们疲惫不堪地跌跌撞撞走进干草地的模样,便过来告诉我们:真正的路其实不在那边,而是在——
一条裂缝的上方。当我们最终跌跌撞撞地回到海滩上时,我们几乎是扑进了海里,同时也投入了酒吧里那位帅气男人的怀抱。他为我们调制了3号公路沿线最好喝的柠檬水。
说实话,那些路况可不适合胆小的人。我们虽然开着一辆1.1升排量的雪佛兰车成功通过了,但请大家务必引以为戒。
总的来说,体验相当不错!我还会再选择ALBA的。记得带上头巾、三明治,还有幽默感。只要具备这些,你就能享受到一段美妙的旅程——沿途风景绝美,地形也十分迷人。迷人的野生动植物、亲手摘到新鲜无花果的机会,以及一场超棒的冒险之旅。
