【Recommendation on accommodation @ Peniche】

上回談到, 我最近去了一趟 Berlenga 大島遊玩, 由於去大島的船都是由 Peniche 出發, 而出發時間大多數是在早上 (最早一班, 如果夠乘客的話, 起航時間會是早上9點, 之後大概每隔半小時或1小時有船, 直到中午12時)。 所以除非您能一大清晨到達 Peniche, 再走到碼頭買船票, 否則就來不切搭船。我不想太趕, 而且也想了解清楚賣船票情況 (注意: 夏天旺季, 有可能買不到當天船票的), 所以安全起見, 在 Peniche 住宿一晚, 順便也遊遊 Peniche。

I said in my last post that I recently visited Berlenga Island. Ferries and boats to Berlenga Island all depart from Peniche, and departure times are mostly in the mornings, starting from 9am (in 30-minute or one-hour intervals until midday), so IF you can arrive in Peniche early in the morning and reach the pier to buy ferry or boat tickets and get aboard on that day, that's perfect. However, note that during the peak season (in the summer months), you may have to buy tickets one or even two days in advance. That would mean that you'll have to stay in Peniche for a night or so. So, I chose to stay one night in Peniche, sightsee the town and check the availability of the ferry tickets.

這間旅店，老闆娘不是全天在旅館內, 不過也不要緊, 她住在附近, 到達時給她打一個電話, 大約5分鐘左右她就到達 (形式就有點像我以前去意大利著名的五漁村小鎮 Cinque Terre 住宿差不多)。我是住獨立房間, 有衛浴, wifi接收得很好，房間還有電視，很不錯。我是在 booking.com 訂房間的，不過大家 可直接跟老闆娘電郵訂房，可能價格會優惠一點也說不定。:-)

The hostess doesn't stay at the residencial all the time so you may have to give her a ring when you arrive at the residencial. Her phone number is wriiten at the entrance of her residencial and she lives nearby so she normally comes right away (the style of accommodation is similar to that in Cinque Terre in Italy). I stayed in an ensuite room, equipped with tv and good wifi. I booked this residencial via booking.com but you can book with her directly in email. She probably could offer you a better price than onbooking.com. smile emoticon

之前介紹了 Berlenga 大島的美麗風景, 與及在 Peniche (佩切尼) 的住宿事宜後, 最後是談談如何購買船票到大島。

I have given an introduction of the Berlenga Island and briefly mentioned accommodation in my previous posts. Now, I'd like to talk about how to buy ferry/boat tickets to the Island.

Berlenga 島的葡萄牙文名稱是 "Ilha da Berlenga" ("Ilha" 是 "島" 的意思), 在Peniche 的碼頭 (沿海邊行到盡頭, 附近是旅遊重點 Fortaleza de Penich

e (佩尼切堡壘), 設立有8個玻璃亭, 由不同公司營運, 售賣來往佩切尼和 Berlenga 島之間航行的輪船及快艇船票, 以及報名參加浮潛活動。可以向裡邊的職員查詢當天或隔天的船期和訂票情況, 由於是旅遊區, 因此他們都會說英語。

"Ilha da Berlenga" is Berlenga Island in Portuguese. At the Peniche harbour (walk straight up the seaside till you almost see "Fortaleza de Peniche" - a major tourist attraction in Peniche), there are 8 glass booths there (operated by different companies) selling ferry and boat tickets between Peniche and the Island, and signing up for snorkelling activities. You may check ticket availability and ask for other information regarding travelling to the Island. As it's a tourist zone, the staff there can speak English.

注意, 到 Berlenga 島的船, 絕大部分只在春至秋季 (大約5月中到10月左右) 航行, 其餘時間因海面風浪太大停駛的。Viamar 船公司的是大船, 另外有船公司開快船, 來回費用大約20-22歐元/位。

Note that both ferries and boats to Berlenga Island mostly only operate from Spring to fall (roughly between mid-May and October). Service suspended in the rest of the year due to weather conditions. Most passengers use boats operated by the company called Viamar; and there are two other companies which operate faster boats. Round trip is about 20-22 euro/person.

【Berlenga Island /Ilha da Berlenga~ half day of relaxed trip】

好久以前在網上見過幾張 Berlenga Island 的 Fort of São João Baptista (聖約翰堡壘) 的照片, 令我一直都很想到這個島旅遊, 直到最近, 終於能成行。

Berlenga 大島沒有令我失望, 它真是非常美麗、優美宜人。我極度推薦。:-)

I have been thinking about visiting Berlenga Island since I saw some photos of Fort of São João Baptista (Saint John Fort) long time ago. I'm so glad that I finally made the trip recently.

The visit to Berlenga Island is worth the time and effort. It is so beautiful and pleasant. I highly recommend a visit to the Berlenga Island when you're in Portugal.

交通:
要來 Berlenga 大島遊玩, 最通常的做法, 是先搭車去沿海城市 Peniche (佩尼切, 著名的沖浪勝地) 再搭船到 Berlenga 大島。從里斯本搭巴士到 Peniche, 車程大概一個半小時 (去此城和 Berlenga大島的攻略以及住宿, 我會稍後再談)。

Transportation:
The most common way to Berlenga Island is to go via a coastal town called Peniche - famous for surfing - take a ferry from Peniche to Berlenga Island. Coaches from Lisbon to Peniche is roughly 1.5 hours one way (guide to Peniche and Berlenga Island, and accommodation in Peniche will be coming up soon).

背景:
Berlenga 大島被葡萄牙政府列為自然保護區, 您在島上, 會見到很多各種的海鳥, 包括海鷗、鸕鶿, 以及整個島都聽到牠們的叫聲。

Background:
Berlanga Island has been declared a natural reserve, and you can see different kinds of sea birds on the island, including seagulls and cormorants; and can hear them making all sorts of sounds all over the island.

島上遊玩:
從 Peniche 一天即日往返遊是多數旅客選擇的方法, 由於夏天天氣和風景一流, 不少人會在島上住宿或露營。注意: 秋季開始, 由於風大海浪也大十分危險, 因此沒有船會從佩尼切 (Peniche) 來 Berlenga 大島的。

小島不大, 半天遊大概都足夠遊走欣賞島上所有景點。島上的海灘, 海水非常晶瑩清徹, 另有不少奇岩洞穴和堡礁, 因此島上有乘船遊覽洞穴, 費用只需5歐元。

記緊一定要花點時間去走它的那條自然步道, 沿途風景秀麗, 會先見到一個燈塔, 再走一小段路, 就是著名的古老堡壘「聖約翰堡壘」 (堡壘現在部分已改成為一青年旅舍) 。

Visit on the Island:
Most travellers come to the Berlenga Island on a same day round trip, departing from Peniche. Weather and scenery is superb during the summer months, and so quite many people would lodge or go camping on the island for a few days. Note: travelling to Berlenga Island after October will be impossible due to strong wind and big waves on the sea. No ferries go to Berlenga Island between November and April.

Berlenga Island is small and therefore a half-day tour is more or less enough to see the major attractions on the island. The beaches are beautiful with crystal clear waters. There are barrier reefs and various caves, so try to take a boat trip. It's very affordable, just 5 euros for a trip of about 45 minutes.

Be sure to also spare time for a walk on the natural trail. The scenery will reward you. You will first see a lighthouse. Walk further and you will then reach the famous ancient fortress called "St. John Fort" (Forta de São João Baptista) (part of the fort has been converted into a youth hostel).
