Translations R Us - visitors from afar...


 Meant to write more last week but it was a busy time at The Crow's Nest...

We had the pleasure of welcoming a lovely couple from New Zealand who were travelling around England before heading off on a Scandinavian cruise...
                    ...and a German family who spent three days exploring the South Hams and somehow managed to dodge the rain quite a lot of the time...



...and two couples from Australia who were also travelling around the country, with probably the biggest backpacks we have ever seen!





I was very pleased that I'd prepared a translation file to leave in the room following a visit from a French sailor a couple of weeks ago... our French is very basic indeed and it gave me the idea of translating the information in our presenter (courtesy of Google), so there is now a folder with translations in French, German, Italian and Dutch to help make life a bit easier for our guests. 

I now know how to say 'sorry it's pouring with rain again' in four different languages... 

'Nuff Said..??
