点评:We had a ball. The flights over Lake Eyre were nothing short of brilliant! Lachie was a great pilot and we never felt at risk at any point. (Important when you are in a relatively small plane flying at reasonably low altitude over a desert / lake environment!)😀
We finally met Tom at Coober Pedy where our 3rd day content started and what a character! We were soon initiated to the "Tom's Travel's Culture" and found it thoroughly engaging and a highlight of the trip!
The whole trip was an absolutey unique experience, from the majesticly vast aerial views over Lake Eyre, the surrounding flood plains and desert to the warm hospitality we got from the locals and the staff at Birdsville, Innamincka and William Creek. Special mention to Eddy and his son "Luigi" at Coober Pedy for allowing us into their home for a look at the lifestyle in a unique desert town.
Thanks also to Linda and her husband for the early start on Saturday and the attention to detail, incuding the coffee run, that enabled our small band of outback explorers to make a safe and timely start on our aerial adventure.
Tom and the team at Lake Eyre Tours are all top shelf and made it an unforgetable experience.
翻译:我们玩得开心极了。飞越艾尔湖的旅程简直棒极了!拉奇是一位出色的飞行员,整个飞行过程中我们都毫无任何不安或担忧之感。(对于乘坐相对较小的飞机、在沙漠或湖泊上空以较低高度飞行的情况来说,这一点至关重要呢!)😀
第三天,我们在库伯佩迪终于见到了汤姆,他真是个有趣至极的人啊!我们很快便融入了“汤姆旅行文化”之中,觉得这一体验十分有意思,也是此次旅行的亮点所在!整个旅程都是一次极为独特的体验:从俯瞰艾尔湖及其周边泛滥平原与沙漠时的壮丽景象,到当地居民以及伯兹维尔、伊纳明卡和威廉克里克等地工作人员的热情款待。特别要感谢库伯佩迪的埃迪和他的儿子“路易吉”,他们允许我们进入家中,让我们得以了解这座独特的沙漠小镇的生活方式。
同时也要感谢琳达和她的丈夫,感谢他们周六一大早就出发,以及对细节的悉心照料。包括那次采购咖啡的行程在内,这一切都让我们这群内陆探险者能够安全且准时地开启我们的空中冒险之旅。
汤姆以及艾尔湖旅游团的团队成员都极为出色,让这次经历成为了一次终生难忘的体验。
