1 August (Saturday) Shanghai – Dubai – Milan

After a long walk, we arrive at 21 hours local time.

After the plane, in the Select to urban BUS on a small problem. On the Internet, Milan Marco friends SA airport to downtown Central station single ticket price is € 5.5, but only one at the airport exit shoupiaodian € 7.5, fares, due to lack of familiarity with local conditions is the liberty of ticketing. One out of the terminal building is found that there is 5.5 euro BUS waiting for us, and nearly half boarding tickets ahead of time, both sended wasted money (6 euro), and wasting time. It is understood, Marco friends SA airport to downtown Central train station by two auto companies, vehicle grades of slightly different results in the difference of € 2, give us the first lesson.

50 minutes by car, we got to the Milan Central railway station.

The pointing of the passers-by, found in the book of Milan ctrip shengkaluo hotel (ctrip price is RMB 749 million), the hotel is 300 m, railway station is linked to the stars, the lobby is very small, but people management is in place, the room was very clean.

Tips:

1, to Europe by Emirates are good choices, the company often introduce some special fares (closely), as of June 30, 2009, recently conducted in Europe airfare only 2900 Yuan (including tax).

2. train ticket to ticket mostly Italy and easy (you can brush the MasterCard or Visa credit card), supplemented by artificial ticketing, pricing options, do not require advance in domestic (or Italy) website.

August 2 (Sunday) to Milan – Genoa – Fantasia, cruise

Due to the time difference is not pity, I and my wife's 3 a.m. more awaked, 4 o'clock to the railway station in a circle surrounding go back to the hotel after breakfast (milk, cheese, bread, cereals, etc.), check-out before the 1 euro coins on the nightstand.

Check-out is very simple, the foreground is only asked whether used the hotel charges for items that have negative answer given after release.

9: 40, 1 hour 35 minutes by car, the train arrives in Genoa.

Genoa is Italy's capital of Biguglia, she endowed, magnificent, full of noble atmosphere, and the dirty dirty, Navigator Christopher Columbus (Christopher Columbus) home. Then, we drag luggage arrived 20 minutes on foot to the cruise ship at the baggage Hall, and the staff, got an original version of the ticket (through the mail received a copy of the ticket only), behind the coastal Bay sightseeing. At that time, the sun overhead, we jumped into the coastal Bay in a dark alley. Alley only 1 m wide, are full of small shops, because during Sunday, about half open, open are Asian, African-American, and mostly in China Wenzhou people. Half of the door closed to local people. We operate in an Afro shop spend one euro bought a bottle of 2 liters of drinking water (e.g., near the railway station of liters 0.5 to 1.2 euros). Turns out the alley, we came to the coastal Bay Road, in a Zhejiang Qingtian man candy shop and bought a box of ice cream (two ball 3 euro, because with the reasons of the Chinese people, content-foot), in a clothing store run by the people of Shanghai and the shopkeeper. Unconsciously came to Genoa Aquarium, Genoa Aquarium is a major tourist destination on the ground, is Italy's famous architect Lorenzo. pianuo (Renzo Ponte) careful design of all Europe's largest aquarium, scale, bustling gathering in front of a large Afro-personnel setup of some imitation stands, selling a line, two lines big-time handbag, glasses etc. On the square, we found a statue of all white people-shaped sculpture, 18, 19-century costume, attracting many tourists photography. When you look closely, before the discovery of the sculpture placed a box similar rice, in a small amount of $ 1, $ 2 coins, and each time sculpture will slightly shaky, finally understood by the living style of dress.

Back to the pier for embarkation halls is 2 pm, when the boarding Hall is already abuzz, the pointing of the service personnel, in accepting the counter will credit card the original and passports to staff, for the identification and the credit card authorization, for the ship consumer demand, in the health declaration formalities enters the waiting Hall waiting for discovery through security, waiting Hall table display with various types of menus, in the tourist during the voyage of the line, price (generally between 50 and 80 euros per person), there are various types of wine during the cruise, beverage package specifications, prices, etc. (typically 100 to 300 euros), as the cruise with sea water purification functions and meet drinking water standards, consumption of bottled water on board for a fee (1 liters of 1.9 euro) beer 5.7 Euro 1 tank, wine 30-100 euro 1 bottle, for a cruise vacation experience for me, these things are not predetermined, its own solution.

After inspection, we finally got on the long-awaited Fantasia, cruise.

We booked the room for 11 layer 11016 room, room area near 21 square meters, including bedroom 17 square, square, balcony bathroom 1.5 2.5 square.

The rooms are with a 6 ft double bed, a sofa (convertible to 6 ft double bed), a 3-door wardrobe, a desk, a 20 inch LCD TV, a fridge and a safe door, the ground covered with carpet.

Balcony placed a copy of a set of tables and chairs available, you can enjoy the sea view side edge drinking coffee.

Cruise to 17 o'clock set sail towards the port of Naples.

Boat set sail together, quickly notice, all persons to wear safety clothing to pointing locations accept escape training. In training, we met except us only on Chinese, they are from Germany for Shanghai young couple (male surname Xu, 28 years old, graduated from Shanghai jincai high school, the original in a work in Germany, after the visit to the enterprise Germany headquarters; female sexual Chen, is currently studying for a master's degree in Germany), and in the next few days, get help on their language.

Late dining and midday buffet restaurant, located on the 6th floor at the end of the cruise ship, cruise distance we are located in the first room there is a distance of 300 meters.

19 o'clock, I wear a t-shirt and casual shorts entry appears in a restaurant, but dining door waiter politely refused, but had to return to the room to change into being mounted to enter. In the restaurant and found a couple of Shanghai small meal next to us. I think the whole cruise has nearly 5 000 visitors, only our five Chinese, so there can be no coincidence that can only be interpreted as cruise arrangements on careful and thoughtful. Dinner is carried out in accordance with Western food formal routines, I first meal to smoked raw pig ham, the taste is very special, very tender, the second is the salad, the third is baked cheese dish, main dish for lobster, and finally the ice cream for dessert. Dining on a cruise ship in a rule, the food is free of charge, but alcoholic beverages is required to charge, but the price is not cheap. Such as bottled water 1 liters of 1.9 euros, beer 5.7 Euro 1 tank, wine 30-1 bottle of 100 euro. Of course, expensive wines I wouldn't want to have to the waiter to only 1 bottle of bottled water.

After dinner, we went on a cruise ship first, pick a high five deck can accommodate more than 1000 people's Opera House, watched a Opera, although do not understand what the actors sing, but can also be a rough sense of Western culture.

Tips:

1. General European month of July, August is a holiday season, cruise tickets are relatively expensive (August as the highest, to decrements by the month before and after 100 USD/person), if not quite like the Sun, or 4, 5 month trip.

2. booking cruise or balcony room is preferred, although the price is relatively expensive (around your 50%), but can see the sea, especially in and out of the harbour is feeling pretty good, relatively clean indoor air.

3, cruise dinner fastidious, men need to dress, Lady needs to evening dresses.

4, a cruise on the water completely drinkable, but for security reasons, you can let the room attendant to fetch water and boil without drinking charge drinking water in the room.

5, the waiter brought the fruit every day (free) the most delicious finish, if not finished, the next day you may send or not send less.

3 August (Monday), sunny and Genoa-Naples

6 o'clock in the morning, breakfast in the cruise, 14/f, buffet restaurant, we grilled sausage, a croissant, roasted tomato, fruit and coffee after dinner back to my room ready to Naples excursion.

Due to the cruise terminal is located in Naples City Centre, close to the town hall building, only a few hundred meters of distance, we decided to hiking and sightseeing. Naples is located in the Gulf of Naples, Vesuvius monarch Pro, we her greatest feeling is dirty, messy, the road is very narrow, pavement mostly paved by the stones, the vehicles have been subject to crash. But here are the world famous pizza. Pizza18 century in Naples, once you've tasted extremely delicious margherita (fresh cheese, ketchup, Italy olive oil and sea salt is made), you will after each meal is inseparable from it. Out terminal, line along Corso Umbertol Street direction to the railway station. Corso Umbertol Street is Naples main street, full of large and small shops on both sides. At the crossroads, we turn into via road to discover the following Vicaria local residents to life. In the streets a dessert shop, bought in 2.5 euro 150 grams of handmade chocolates, chocolate is not sweet, but very strong delicious taste of cocoa. Visiting the Dante square, we came to a very distinctive Via Tribunal Street. Via Tribunal Street is the main tourist area of Naples, du Mo Church deep one, on either side is some characteristic shops, mainly sold in some very distinctive handmade products, food, etc., especially pizza. We have a shop and bought a quarter of a pizza (1.5 euros), although just breakfast on board, the stomach is not hungry, but remains difficult to resist the delicious temptation.

Near the complex, we encountered a from Shanghai Baoshan district of middle-aged women, sold some baiditan from China traffickers to commodity, if the string represents, socks, and so on, prices and domestic almost, but to euros.

Tips:

1, Naples is very small, the ride is not convenient to walk, to save energy, it is best to design a tourist route, line up the main attractions.

2. Via Tribunal Street very unique and worth a stroll and enjoy the pizza there.

3, the streets of Naples very tasty home-made chocolate and not too sweet, you can try.

4 August (Tuesday), sunny Naples-the capital of Palermo Sicily

Cruise ships arrive at 8 am, Palermo Palermo, although not large, but the city's layout is very reasonable.

Out of the boat, they found the dock a long sliding carriages waiting for soliciting. We walked along the main street heading to Palermo city, Roma Street, my wife bought a pair of trousers in the estate (19.5 euro), I saw a jacket, fabrics, styles are good, the price of 50 euro, in the final confirmation, I inadvertently found MADE CHINA, had to give up.

During the cruise on a sumptuous buffet lunch, I and my wife again embarked on a journey of Palermo.

Because it is 2 pm, most shops have closed the street. We walked along the Roma Street to South walked about 4 km, Palermo train station, visit the station square, along the Via Maqueda Street returns. In Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Via Maqueda rendezvous at the Quattro Canti, is a long history of Palermo's city centre the ideal and reality, it is also known as il teatro, has four built in the 17th century Baroque facade Spain on each side are decorated with statues. Located in the magnificent Fontana Pretoria square in Pretoria fountain, a sculptor from Florence 16 century design is complete, but because of those near-naked like inconsistency be Izumi "shame", although later here has been trimmed back, but still looking to some content.

Today visitors feel very tired in Palermo, me and my wife two streets, walking 6 hours approximately 15 km.

Before dinner, duty-free shops in cruise for my wife bought a bag (24 euro). Cruise of the 6, 7/f, as the main indoor activities area, distribution to social dancing Hall, disco, Casino, all bars and other places, because we do not have the habit of bubble bar, or dancing, poked around and found that many Westerners to bring home with mouth at the party, to feel the Westerners colourful nightlife.

Tips:

1. European summer noon 1 at noon general store-4 pm, closed for the rest, this time it is best not to travel.

2. If your English is good and sociable, may wish to go to cruise 6, 7/f, activities area.

5 August (Wednesday), sunny and Palermo-Tunisia

7: 00 in the morning, arrival in Tunisia Harbor Cruise.

I took the first step on the African continent. Tunisia is the town of North Africa, Eastern Mediterranean climate is tropical, hot and dry in summer, in winter and warm moist, 6-8 month hot weather is the peak season for tourism. Language to Arabic to Mandarin, common in French. Islam is the State religion, minority profess the Catholic, currency, prices for Tunisia dinars to Shanghai Basic equivalent, such as a can of Cola 600 dinars, approximately 3 Yuan. Despite the relatively old city, the infrastructure is also relatively backward, but she is very beautiful coast, the sea is deep blue, light blue color and tolerably. Across the border is very simple, will fill in the Declaration of the immigration and passport to check-check clearance. At the Customs Office, there are a lot of soliciting "Columbia" in attracting business, one of whom pulled us English describes specific private lines and prices, including the prestigious "La Marina" Arab-Starter market quotations for 40 euros back and forth, we did not greet him, they went outside to the pier. In fact, our cruise is found ashore in Terminal has two or three hundred vehicles "taxi" on the stand, according to past experience certainly cheaper prices. Sure enough, we settled in the Terminal to the price of 10 euros to the city centre "La Marina" Arab-Starter market. From the Terminal to downtown is 17 km away, about 20 minutes after arrival. It is still early because of the time (local time is 7: 30), the store is not yet open, our line of wandering in the streets. Period, the Bank has with 5 euro exchange 9200 element Tunisia dinars. 8: 00 pm, we went to the Starter NA "Arab market, the market is a local tourism market, mainly sold some Arab arts and crafts, such as leather camel model, wooden masks, engraved porcelain plate, metal containers, as well as from the Sahara desert of Shihua, etc. We spent 20Euro to buy a horse leather camel model (asking price € 60), 9 euro bought a pierced porcelain plate, 5 euro bought wooden drum, 2 euro bought a piece of the Sahara desert, Shihua. Shopping in the market, most shop owners are people-we are Japan, we called out to their declared we are CHINA. 11 am, we return to "fight" with a small anecdote: as the city of Columbia, "basic" is not English, we explain to the driver for a long time, drivers also do not understand our direction. In desperation, I thought quickly, borrowed pen and paper, painted a ship docked at Wharf, driver realizes our fate.

Today seems to be very formal dinner, 6 floor restaurant to see many foreigners men wear suits and ties, the woman is an evening dress.

Today's cuisine is also not the same as with the other day, before meals and three were ordered marinated meat, fruit, main points of the bipartite grilled Sirloin steak, a baked lamb chops, decoction as lobster soup tastes good. 21: 30 cultural performance begins as usual. Today show's Ballet, skating, skill integration program, main performer is Chinese. One of the first sound pretty good probably film the Titanic theme song.

Tips:

1. where to go to Tunisia city or attraction, do not set in the Terminal, the Terminal has many taxi price is only half of the Terminal, and drivers command of English was good.

However, note that in the city's taxi driver Basic can't speak English very well, it's best to set up at the pier. (Return is not required for the first payment, the driver will be waiting at the agreed time and place)

2, "" La Marina "Arab-Starter market sale of crafts tend to offer, a counteroffer range is still very large.

One from the Sahara desert of Shihua is worth buying.

6 August (Thursday), sunny and Tunisia — in the capital Palma Mallorca Spain

This cruise will be 1: 35 am arrival in Parma, have enough time on leisure.

After breakfast, we had three people together in a swimsuit on the deck. My wife was afraid of the Sun, specifically looking for a shaded massage pool, I and my daughter the swim. Cruise at noon was entered Mallorca Palma, in front of the landmark building is – Palma Cathedral. Shore, we do not provide the cruise duanbo car (10 euro round trip). Instead, Pier ride 1 bus (one-way 1.25 euro) arrived at the city. Parma city to our overall impression is beautiful, clean and neat, polite and patient. For example, take the bus line according to the order, the front passengers ask drivers behind queued crowd when you are patient, and so asked out and then turn on the bus. In Punta Lindores Avenue, we jumped into the intersection of a shop, find that this is a small opening of Wenzhou clothing store, the operation of the apparel, footwear and headwear are transported from China. In conversation with female salesperson that Parma city nothing fun place, in addition to the seaside and the Church. We are a home along the ' Ponta Lindores wandering around the Mall, the largest department store (the prices are very expensive), turn right after 200 meters on foot fountain to the Palma Cathedral. Parma Cathedral is the Palma city attractions, the construction started in the year 1230, completed in 1601, lasted for a whole year 370. Buy tickets (€ 4 per person) to enter the Church, before our eyes is a striking picture. Church in height of up to 40 meters, dome, no pillars and beams. Both sides of the Church to our mural depicting how wonderful it is to allow people to behold, to return.

Back to cruise around 18, we also enjoy a rich and delicious dinner, a cruise on deck 5 km walk to consume excess calories.

Tips:

Parma Cathedral nearby seafood cuisine, price 20 euros/copy, you can try.

7 August (Friday) Parma – Barcelona is Barcelona

4 p.m., I was in the cabin of the balcony, drink red wine, the pistachio and peanuts, watched the scenery of the Barcelona port, feeling very well written travels – 9 points in the morning, arrived in Barcelona port cruise, we do not take cruises offers 10 euros/person duanbo Shuttle, but take the Barcelona prepared specifically for the cruise terminals — downtown Columbus Plaza bus (2 €/person for one-way, round-trip 3 Euro/person).

Pier is close from the Columbus Plaza, 10 minutes is reached. We are in for a short stay on the square, photographing photography, along the most bustling Las Ranblas Street walk to Plaza Cataluña. Las Ranblas Street is a pedestrian mall, all the way from the Wharf area extends to the Plaza Cataluña. Because of the time it is still early, and the roads are many stalls are not operating, but still renders walking Street clues — street full of some of the behavior of the artist, in bench assumed some strange shape, disguised as a medieval knight, disguised as flower, wearing a Barcelona shirt top foot football, in order to obtain the tourist photography pictures back pay. I shot all the way along the crazy for not tipping, one dressed up as Chaplin appearance of the face the camera lens was turned back.

500 m walk, we found on the left side of the road there is a fair trade markets, the market for clean, bright, clean, non-domestic markets fishy.

Sale of goods assortment, placed neatly, especially colorful fruits especially attracted attention, price is not expensive, as-good cherry child 8-10 Euro 1 kg, the General size of only 1 kg € 1.99, mighty horse milk 1.99 Euro 1 kg of grapes. The most exciting is the seafood counter, rows of neat counter, placing a wide range of seafood, salmon 16.8 Euro 1 kg, 1 kg lobster 20 euros, there are also some not seen in fish and shrimp. At the meat counter, bovine meat 3.75 Euro 1 kg, a good cow film 7.5 Euro 1 kg. We are in the market with one euro bought 500 g cherry child, 2 euro bought 2 glass of freshly squeezed juice.

Next to Carrefour supermarket to buy 3 packs of 500 grams of pistachio (per package 3.45 euro), the six black Brin (1.2 euro), 6 a tomato (0.6 euro), 1 bottle of 2 liters of drinking water (0.67 euro). Catalonia square, we enjoy the fruits, delicious pistachio, in Plaza pigeons in pictures. The side Chair and a small break, we walked into the business, my wife bought a late charge (39.9 euro).

Cruise sailing from 18: 30.

The dinner was rich, before meals for lobster meat with vegetables soup, soup, seafood, main course for the prawn. The most moving, dessert, restaurant play Marseillaise, the waiter who end up ice cream cake as a tribute to his guests, thanks to the guests.

Night-time begins when the party 21, today mainly in opera performances, one of the first familiar "my Sun" in the evening to a climax.

Tips:

1. fruit fresh in Barcelona and cheap, you can buy some evil your domestic prices of fruit, such as Cherry child, Brin, brought back to the boat.

2. If you are tired of the ship's Western food, Las Ranblas street markets to buy some salmon, lobster, and Carrefour supermarket to buy some basement Japan soy sauce, mustard, etc (the same price more expensive, about 10 euro).

Thus, a Japanese-style dinner is done, you can cruise the room balcony enjoy slowly.

8 August (Saturday) – France, Marseille, Barcelona

Today in travel mode choice made a small mistake, because in the preparations, downloading a Marseille map does not find the cruise dock berths, no relevant traffic information collected, so still in accordance with the established practice of not take cruises provide duanbo service (10 euro round trip).

Out of the boat to find signs of no, cruise dock, dock, and not into the harbor of the bus, to the nearest bus stop 2 km walking. The Trek, we eventually walked to the bus station, take the exit Marseille city bus (€ per person 1.5). After arriving in urban areas, we have Robert service mount Street look very distinctive Church (Marseille, La cathedrale La Major), along the old port of Marseille, near the foot of Boer road. The old harbour is located in the city centre of Marseille, a harbour in full of all sorts, very luxurious yachts. Boer, at the sides of the bars, catering establishments, roadside pendulum full dining with furniture, Haagen-Dazs, prices are much cheaper than domestic. By the way side a real estate company, we excitedly visit Marseille local rates, in the heart of the city lot good house 90 square meter price 350 000 euros per square meter equivalent to about 4 million, compared to the local income and not too high, the absolute price even higher than the domestic first-tier cities city centre but also cheaper.

Along dukana zhiber Street walk into Marseille business district, in addition to a large shopping, roadsides are some small shops and markets to operate most of apparels, ZARA, brand and price is higher than the domestic "people first", each piece prices are mostly in the 10-60 euros.

But in fact this shopping is very difficult, many looks very elegant and inexpensive commodity origin is often MADE to look at CHINA, and the price of expensive and don't know the brand can't buy. Pocket for a long time, my wife in ZARA store bought a small suit (59.99 euro), daughter bought a jacket (19.95 euro).

In fact, shopping is very tired, so we chose to make the return trip.

Marseille battle Street taxi is very luxurious, basically to run away, BMW and other types of cars. We got a rush driving taxi, start price 3 euros (without starting mileage), starting from 0 km to 1 euro per kilometre, there is no empty subsidies. From Marseille city centre to the cruise terminal is 12 km, at a cost of € 16.8, I give drivers 50 euros, drivers find me 32.2 euros, because I do not know to give 1 euro tip practice, adherence to let drivers change € 33.2, very sorry.

After dinner, we participated in the voyage of the last party, cruise on all yanzhi personnel play a show at the end, while tourists reveals quite sad feelings in a song will be the highlight of the party.

Tips:

If you take a large ton cruise to Marseille, may vary according to the draught relationships can only be parked in a foreign port, because the external port and Marseille City Centre has more than 10 km and the nearest bus stop 2 km, recommendations or cruise provided duanbo bus.

9 August (Sunday) to Marseille-Genoa-Milan

8 a.m., cruise through the 8 days 7 nights finally arrived at the starting point – Genoa.

Depending on the cruise group, we are divided in teams, to disembark at 9 am. Since yesterday the ship in accordance with customs regulations, Italy will be the three of us passport, my wife and daughter to 16 deck to get a passport, and I at the sixth floor, the bar awaits.

Out terminal, we go straight to the railway station, the line in automatic ticket machine daughter purchased a noon 11 points 45 to Milan tickets (3 total 27.3 euros).

Show only tickets, train number, price, destination, do not display platform number. In order to find the site, we had some trouble: at first to a working man asked Wenzhou nationality, do not get accurate answers, but her daughter to the station (the whole station only has 2 at the box office staff) asked because staff do not speak English had to give up. At this point, I thought quickly, on paper with two Rails, Rails platform in the middle of a big question mark, staff finally understand my question with a simple "17" digital resolve the issue. On the train and found this train passengers not as crowded as Milan to Genoa, the entire car with only 6 people, although there is no air conditioning, but the inside is not too hot.

Train at 1 p.m., 35, arrived at the Milan train station, the daughter of self-help in the railway station ticket machine bought the next Biennale tickets (

8: 05, 9: 05 departure ticket 3 82 euros, 7: 25 departure of 43.5 euro, of course, the we chose the latter).

Tips:

1, in Europe there are a lot of people do not speak English very well, you may encounter many obstacles to communication.

At this point, please do not be afraid to give full play to the imagination and the role of body language, by pointing, drawing diagrams, and other means, to solve the problem. Remember, the problem will be solved.

2, Italy railway station staff seldom, ticketing, get on the ticket, the ticket mostly need to help themselves; and so the difference between the higher prices, we sell Genoa-Milan tickets (total 3 people € 27.3) stroke to 1 hour 50 minutes, 1 hour 30 minutes trip train 45 euros.

10 August (Monday) Milan – Venice

At 11 am, we arrive at the Venice line.
