Our European line – Venice

Venice, this is a mirage of a city.

With round top tip of Baroque and rococo church spire, don't have a style. Remember the island saw a painting: the blue of the sea, a drum with wind of white sailboat and look in the blue, on the horizon. The background behind it is a House with age. I was feeling is that if the wind changes, Brig is rushed into the House's living room!

Every day, the soles of the feet side always run a grey blue ocean, surrounded by Occluder constantly remind you, so watch out for yourself would inflict some cross-in.

In Venice famous guest, with crowds of, Exult, channeling to flee to Dove hunt there. Once, I bought a bag of corn child to feed them, the result is they have no fear of falling into my head, shoulders and arms. Fortunately, that moment has not avian flu. Open-air cafés before a cup of coffee, tea, sea breeze slowly from the face, pulling hair, melodious melody of piano playing, made out in unlimited reverie.

Once in the island's Chinese restaurant meal, see a scene, which will help but can't: an old CHUM is divided with a boy, sitting opposite the old too enjoyed eating their own plate in a fish, boy bow before eating a dish of Yangzhou fried rice.

At that time, I think that their Chinese eat a little bit of knowledge is not, and should also run to the Chinese restaurant, afraid of ridicule. If this happened in China, other people also do not think that this old too abused boys?

Our trip to France, Italy (three weeks travel) — Italy (1)

(Continued from last year in France)

5/19 (Monday), cloudy (Nice: love, City: Russian Orthodox Cathedral, late by night train – pizza)

The train on the night of 21: 50-5: 25 (nice-pizza 00369) 15 euro per person

After breakfast, because you must do before 11 o'clock "CHEAK OUT," said with boss wife last night, bulky baggage at this stage, to be taken away at night, she is very readily tell my storage room of the key places that will take it, everything is "NO PROBLEM".

Three days of the third to the bus station (was going to sweep up), take a bus to another small town: love.

8: 45 am a ban 82 road bus, then the next to go to 10: 30, which means that we're in 15 minutes to get to the bus station; quickened, and finally in automobile started when I first got the looks.

Along the road to the direction of Monaco, 20 minutes after already came to love's cottage at the door. All the way through a is referred to as the "Nietzsche path", is said to be "Nietzsche enquiries Latu Stella" inspiration.

Isolation from the high hill top above the village, surrounded by walls built to prevent foreign invasion in ancient times, this is the region's unique fortress village forms, has good retention so far; walled all roads are the cobble stones, and to the numerous housing mix, looked so simple and natural.

The village is not big, but the road to many and complex, like a maze; I took two laps before and after, the fortress of all channel traveled! was once a village high castle ruins monument, is now a "Tropical Botanical Garden", actually charge 5 Euro entrance fee; hilltop facing the sea in the southern direction, almost all types of accommodation or hotel occupation, we can see through the gap and the Eastern Mediterranean; Feira Strait and elsewhere in Europe, cottage Central also has a church, towering Bell Tower became the commanding heights of the village. Every household in the village is the gift processing plant; production of gold, silver, jewellery, and various crafts, and in each of the display in the window.

Visit the complete cottage, we still take the bus back to urban 82, and to have China sent a second message.

Back to the shelter to eat lunch, went in search of the Northwest direction of Russian Orthodox Cathedral L ' É G L I S E RUSSE, that's a typical Russia onion head church spire, a church in front of the lawn mowing very tidy, a green Misty forests, except occasionally to the tourist bus, slightly broken here and quiet, the car away, here strangely quiet.

Continue through the Nice train station, once arrived at the station near the MUI Goodison Boulevard (AV.

JEAN MÉDECIN), new building, on both sides of the banks, Office building, Department store, the store has opened today, we passed a shape very like Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral: Phra auspicious card Notre-Dame, and specialized photography pictures;

Back to accommodation, dinner, I found: in the hotel all the tourists at least a call; we stay a very comfortable hours (three days), after dinner in the French version of the operating system to browse a Web page to pass the time until 20: 30 points and hostess farewell, along the main street of RUE MEYERBEER door to go to the end, is a nice train station, 20 minutes in advance to play out, inform the subtitles to Rome or Venice car platform number, can bus-I is also an information centre to the station you want to know the train timetables: this trip the overnight train destined for two cities in Italy, in part to Rome to Venice, in part, to a fork in the road to split; for we to Italy's Pizza, two trains, so no worries; and our vote is the condemnation, certainly not by the wrong car, unlike non-size bus travel, be sure to find the right car, or think of Rome, it is possible to travel to Venice go wrong!

21: 50 minutes at night, the train on time to start, start drilling into the cave, about 15 minutes, the train stopped at the Monaco railway station, around the "stars" dots, Monte Carlo night very charming! near train enters a world of darkness.

Because their boxes are too expensive (remember that a person to 100 euros), many people in the room at night without rest assured, we finally chose the ride seat, each talent 15 euro! in order to manage the baggage can only take a NAP. We are two seat by the window, when the mind is in Shanghai website specifically selected iron, is a small box of 6 people, and we are all in the same compartment is black, a passion for our demo, chairs can pull a half trip type, backrest and seat almost flat, you can sleep — the premise is that you do not have to sit on the opposite side. To begin we rejoice: exactly three people, one person, one seat won't settle down; however, Menthon enter the territory of Italy, a full Italian man opened the door to our room, and said, jiligulu course means we understand very well, old man zhuanghutu tone higher, black girl to withstand, and only let him come in and sit, and he was still going to pull a girl like India, came in with the "enjoy" laoshibajiao girl little sound, are the old man's voice, voice; he asked where we were, my answer is, "CHINA", he'll understand: "lease it, lease it!" comes from the far East guests! man will soon get off until we on May 20 at 5: 32 am arriving on pizza, a black one yellow two girls in his seat asleep!

5/20 (Tue) shower turns cloudy (Pisa-Florence)

At noon the train on the Pisa-Florence (1 hour and 10 minutes, airfares); each person € 5.4

At 5: 32 minutes arrive in Pisa, although there are two different colour woman on the edge of the door in the intangible keeping us safe, but I do not know the relationship between train instability, or do not trust, or worry about taking a stand, I would also like to train timetable constantly concerned about the station, days

Know will not be delayed, or unexpected situations, thus only slightly confused some time and finally sees hope in "PISA", we got off smoothly.

Day is not lit, the station platform almost no one, on some of the people in the waiting room, close to the waiting room of the best selling when Lao was also on my first thing is to find a toilet, inside and around a (station undefended, feel free to access), is not found; see someone enter stations similar Office, I went in, on the second floor office area, they want to find a toilet, at least ten people are Office (is the real work!), only one person rise slightly puzzled look at me, but did not speak, I was able to penetrate, casual walking! complete the task, and boot sat on the couch is guarded luggage-Keun also to facilitate it, and then locate the platform (West), located on the second parallel road and luggage storage room, as usual, also provides Passport, photocopied as pickup voucher, a 3 euro, 2 6 euro; can start easy pizza tour; the whole stay at the station is approximately 1 hour, constantly pouring into male and female announcer in is constantly "issued a thunder, a thunder" words, hear how suddenly awakened were familiar to me: it is their language: "Italy" mean!

Out of the station, overcast days, you cannot accurately argue that direction, you can only identify general direction, direct access to the Tower Plaza, or wrong, because before 7 a.m. or so, almost no one, go to Schwarzenegger River Bridge, they see a gentleman men middle-aged people, speak English, tell me this is the Town Hall, on the edge of the Maser bridge, when you know that we are from China Shanghai (I say "Mulberry GA leaf"), he said he knew the place and know it was a very prosperous city; then we become the bridge along the road to the West, the River Arno and saw a very small church, called the Virgin Mary Church, Appian NA ·; just a round bastion-small house, as a root end of needle; bridge, is the gateway to the Tower of Sol-Philippine Reno bridge, slightly spare a little detour.

Walk through some slightly dilapidated buildings and green spaces, will soon reach the world-famous church square, the famous tower was rendered before our very eyes!

Time is still early, almost square yet; to the East of the Tower (TORRE PENDENTE, built in 1174), in the center of the Cathedral (DUOMO CATTEDRALE, imitating art Roman style; it is said that the Cathedral: the Galileo enlightened chandelier from the pendulum principle), West of baptism Church (BATTISTERO), Cemetery (CAMPOSANTO) are silently watched us staring at two guests from far East; sky clouds could have been set off of full rain, shower spray to the Tower on short, sprinkle the tower stood watching us, and growing.

We had to walk to the tower north offices from the rain, from time to time in and out of uniformed men and women who are on our smile compliments, similarly to shelter from Italy compatriots, they are called in a loud voice: "QIAO!" — the first time I heard someone cordial greeting from Italy, it is said that they either greeting or farewell, are very cordial and emits a tone. Originally I thought it was a police station, wait to see them separately into several buildings, understand what may be the Service Manager here, has just come to work.

Pisa is Italy Pisa Cathedral Bell Tower of free-standing, long stay and not down, is considered a world miracle of architectural history and immortal, hailed as one of the seven wonders of the medieval architecture, 1173, in the construction of a tilt, 100 years after confirmation will not only continue to collapse, as in the original design construction until 1372 years placed on top of the clock.

8-storey tower has a total of 7 clock, for fear of the Bell Tower collapse has never sounded too. In 1590, Galileo on the top floor had free fall movement experiment: two weight difference of 10 times the iron balls, while falling from the top of the Tower, was born in "free fall", human to law with acceleration of principle, only research out today's trains, cars, Lunar spacecraft, Galileo is therefore known as the "father of modern science," the tower so famous.

As the rain does not stop, which also dilute our spirits, not to mention ' 瑾 shoes should suddenly seepage, inside was already soaked; but we can only take in Plaza fronting, on bus No. 4, less than 10 minutes to the railway station; immediately bought a ticket for the train to Florence (and on the site, each 5.4 euro), on the platform of the train, a train through the pizza, you press the order slow into the car, everyone has the Hin, foot gentleman!

9: 30 minutes on the bus, one hour after the bus to Florence, here is the birthplace of the Renaissance, many tourists come here in search of the fifteenth century the development of artistic genius; mileage in possession of the city has a large number of works in the Renaissance; t-West family of Laurent de card leave a will: the many paintings, statues and the whole building as PITI Palace for the people; 1743, her death also concluded from 1434, t-West family of Florence.

Opposite the station visited tourist information Office, take a city map; the rain didn't stop, we had to cross the street in the rain, dragging luggage through the square in front of the Church of Notre Dame students, turned into a Northwest-Southeast to the streets, the VIA DEL SOLE, walk a few steps is the accommodation, but also private hotels, one of Italy's open, I saw the woman she is and her neighbor boy, carrying large packages small package from supermarket purchasing back a group of students from Taiwan and we both tedious waiting in the rain a knock at the door!

Our room is next to the hostess's room, locked the door, she has had two irrelevant; quickly washed changing clothes (you know last night night from France to Italy's border crossing), ate lunch, we went to Florence City Centre, Cathedral Square; East, came in less than ten minutes, we arrived here, also known as

Waltz of the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Church walls, white, pink, green, and so on many kinds of marble according to the geometric image decoration, very unique, and very delicate; the Cathedral Dome, is also the highest point of the city.

The Dome Cathedral, by Brune Lesko, at approximately 1420-1436, built for a total of 464 step; Florence city to commemorate his achievements, passed a law that prohibits any buildings taller than a church Dome, and has continued ever since.

Seeing the Sun is out, but the rain drops down, we decided to spend € den 6X2 = 12, the whole Church dome 464 step, a look at den; I didn't expect, to the top doesn't go on out, he howled sprang up and rain, wind, rain, the climb to the top in the following to see a little sunshine did not know where to run?!, but so beautiful so missed! I end with camera station to the wind and rain, so to minimize heart feelings of regret; take a few moments, the upper part of an umbrella, the lower section has been completely soaked! but I am not trip, despite the gray clouds, mountains, everywhere in the Church, there are many ancient buildings, roads, extending in all directions, have stretched into the distance; Picciotto next to the clock tower and obvious than we had a short; so almost do not see the modern building of ancient towns, we sincerely feel admiration and praise.

Who would want to in a moment of time, the sky suddenly raining, clouds immediately dispersed the bi penetration of blue sky, golden sunlight again over the old town, is a landscape that is my God open eyes! 360-degree turn, the wechiau Palace, Gallery santacroce Church, Sal Bartok column Church, St. Lorenzo Church, the central railway station, Arno, and so on, there is no name, in short, all sights are greedy I income in the database, the camera's Lance, shot from the observation of the capacity to play to the extreme, to the content; we also invite visitors to the edge and I was inspiring beautiful shadows; sunny and rainy, the eternal moment.

Towards the northwest side of the rectangle the "pool" is to the East of the railway station, railway station 300 metres, is the Church of St. Lorenzo, famous Robert Lorenzo library is located in the cloister of the Church; followed in Medina lease family mausoleum, Michelangelo carved them two magnificent Tomb, stands for the night and day, and the dark and dawn; because it is the Medina lease family found a 13-year-old he studied sculpture, he; at the same time, they also Medina lease family, assistance by Raphael, the art of flowers in full bloom.

The fond farewell to the Cathedral Dome, down to the Church, close to the top of the internal ornamental Dome, by bazzali and followers of the painting "final judgment", and then down to the ground at one go, back to the room.

Walk along VIA DEI CALZAIUOLI South, soon the wechiau Palace (now the Town Hall), that is, to the East of the municipal square, here it is a around the art world, is full of sculptures, fountains, ancient buildings, totally is a free open-air Art Museum; Eastern front Viceconti Palace is famous for Michelangelo's statue of David, was built in 1504, marble, high 434 cm, but now I see a copy of the statue is truly original like has been moved to the Museum, in the Academy gallery (GALLERIA DELL ' ACCADEMIA), inside another only his unfinished "slave"; wechiau Palace before moving Office also called Lorenz cool Gallery (LOGGIA DEI LANZI), Gian Polog "that was ravaged by Salman Vina woman"; West bonsignore Riad square (PIAZZA DELLA SIGNORIA), there are other numerous statues: ① prouteau and General color "bin": (two of them under the beast) this painting represents Neptune, prouteau aggressor General color bin to Hades Queen fairy tale; picture-in-prouteau hand deeply embedded into the body of the General color of the bin, and the General colour bin struggles you look desperate and Gravis; ② Pacius and Mei Dusha first level: Celini, bronze, about 1560 year; ③ bundey Llanelli's "Hercules" Norris; ④ Oman that mention "Poseidon Nipton", etc.

Time has passed 18 points, but is said to make an appointment to enter, but are not allowed to take pictures inside, we ultimately did not enter.

South end of the Arno, and compared the Seine in Paris, the River is not so clear, nor so neat, elegant; perhaps compared her to a comparison of the relevant number from the village, pure, original is her character; because the Sun has hung on the West side of the sky lit up in the land of ancient Galaţi El bridge, both as a statue of exquisite sculpture, like a beautiful watercolor painting until the sun goes down, the Golden Sun, blue sky and white clouds, green vegetation, we saw the most beautiful Renaissance Capital a scene, it's return.

Continue walking along the River to the West, came full of charm of the wechiau bridge, this is a block-art bridge in Langfang, was built in 1345 year, butcher and tannery workers workshop building

On the bridge, there is someone, Jewellers Street, from the cheap small jewelry to wear jewelry, from expensive antique to contemporary works of art, everything; the bridge is FERIC Tower church square, it was getting late, this will suffice; then westward along the LUNG ACCIAIUOLI, came to PONTE SANTA TRINTÀ bridge that Saint III bridge, the bridge there is a statue representing the seasons; along the Katonah cloth Mahoney Avenue, walk past the church tower thorigny, enjoy Florence Street, full of fashionable window; until 21 points, is still not returned.

5/21 (Wednesday), cloudy (Florence-Venice)

(Night live Venice: 3 nights) at the train of Florence (CAMPO DI MARTE)-Venice (S.LUCIA) IC704, 13: 27-16: 47, confirmation number: XWNC3R, CARRIAGE SEAT NUMBER 10, 41, 42, per person € 16.4

Today after the breakfast, Keun, etc in a fork in the road, I'll buy stamps at the post office queue return, my turn, bought postcards, stamps 0.25 euros but 0.85 euros, I asked him where the old glue, playfully with tongue do a lick of action.

We at roadside store bought 2 public tickets per 1.2 euros, it is said that a car is 2 euros.

Once again walk the Holy three churches, St. III bridge, came to the Arno River, front row, Henan province, is not far away is PITI Plaza, South city walls inside is PITI Palace and bobolj garden; parks and museums, to actually to € 10 per person, I want to choose the garden rather than go to the Museum, also cannot be separated; watching those inside Office officials, we imagine: an Office of local peripheral, but require visitors to enter your billing, it's outrageous huadiweilao, it seems that is not some get rich quick ' Chinese patents.

Along the Arno River, we walk in Henan province came to a hill on the north slope of open land (strictly speaking can only be considered high), here is the Michelangelo square, here is free, so there are many Chinese! was yellow skin compatriots, is full of warm Mandarin; our analysis, most probably the team's sake, we came to the unconscious, can we both; look to urban scenery infinite in Florence, especially yesterday evening and Cathedral Dome, today we stand on another point of view, looking over the city there are red brick building, almost all of the roof.

The square also has a statue of Michelangelo's David copy like, edge was selling postcards, art paintings, full of classical atmosphere;

The weather is very cool, sunny place only mildly hot, is full of green trees, flowers, sky, all sorts of weather, plus bursts of draught, really let the stunning!

Perhaps the narrow roads in Europe, many, many people cross the street without looking at the traffic light, there is no light in many places, of course, the car, who were quietly stopped there; European car (especially the hatchback) very much more a single car, full in what we call non-motor road; two-wheeled motorcycle.

Return again through the wechiau Palace, the municipal square, great crowd here today.

Returned nearly 12 points, CHECK OUT reasonably 11 points, and the proprietress said well, now that she's not in (estimated as yesterday, go to the supermarket purchases), we put the key in wardrobe, carrying luggage to go away.

Once again after the station to the South of the Church of our Lady of Novy la, we stop and wait, there is no chance yesterday rain to watch carefully, there appeared in bogaqiu "10 on" opening essay, is also a very famous place.

We bought tickets to Venice is in Florence, CAMPO DI MARTE station, too, was informed in advance about to easily before ordering, price of course than in Central Station: cheap lot! we at central station, take the bus, on 13 10 more minutes in the urban areas to the East of the railway station.

Make people feel that the very convenient, and from the station platform like shopping, through the underpass to the platform (ask the professionals know, and elsewhere, I am on the edge of the information desk at the station to the train schedule), we arrive at the platform, or puzzled, just on the platform of the glass window of airfares, finding us this train specific docking station, and drive time; first also gone another train, we take the car actually time to arrive, just know we multiply this station or crossing! checked airfares to finally find out, this car 8: 24 distribution from Naples, 10: 55 minutes by Rome to get here, eventually to Venice, punctuality 16: 47 minutes reach the Santa Lucia railway station.

All the way to Italy Northwest direction, more than three hours, went from cloudy to overcast, heavy rain, cloudy so changeable process, should be offshore.

Many people are also not to Saint Lucia, one called the mast Ray station where a car, it is said that accommodation relatively cheap, with the result that many people choose to stay here, and then by bus excursion to Venice; while we are slightly more expensive to buy time and effort.

Train starts from MAS Tres, through long seawall (as in China, Fujian province to Xiamen Jimei from), known as "freedom bridge", and highway parallel, and buses, container truck race, both sides are green clear sea, the entire process almost 10 minutes after the train at 16: 47, on-time stops at the Santa Lucia station, Venice: Let's go!

Venice, built on more than one hundred small island, millions of pillars, by 400 bridges, is the world's only fully built in water city.

In addition to the beautiful attractive, his biggest advantage is a city without a car, the biggest disadvantage is flooding problems. This kind of risk awareness has been in existence for hundreds of years, it is more attractive to tourists. People always feel this way: when you set foot on this fragile but also very proud ofYao-city, you will feel like Venice will like a mirage sank. According to historical records, was a Roman King of the Huns expelled atila nomadic has lived in Venice.

Venice is a cultural history the most dazzling a Pearl.

Not just tourists charm of Venice, the dumping of hundreds of years, it makes the countless poets, painters and writers have TA, washing the soul. As Marcel Proust, James, and Hemingway all felt it had an irresistible temptation. No city can have more than Venice by local artists, such as berini, Figgjo Johnny, tixiang, Tinto to Toro, El Poirot and melon, etc.

1810 Byron went to Venice, the "Adriatic Queen" has been in decline for many years.

Although he was fascinated by the beauty of Venice, it depicts the columns Palace is "shaky". The decline of Venice began in the 15th century, Portugal who took Venice spice trade monopoly. Ten years later, the Cambrai Alliance make Venice to the Mainland on the most important cities lose control, make Venice go 500 years of downhill road.

However, the Venice of recent carnage not because water but because of the fire.

In January 1996, the giving of Verdi's opera La fee Anicet theatre was burnt to ashes. Then began the long and laborious reconstruction work, the new theatre to and old alike. Reconstruction needs several years, but also take up Venice pollution and flooding. More ironic, destroyed and rebuilt Theatre — the fenice is the English meaning of Phoenix.

Well deserved the title of town, the railway station, is the Grand Canal, the ship to ship to the Zoo; now, there is a bridge across, is called the Grand Canal on one of the three bridges: barefoot monk Bridge; East on is the Church · SCARL enquiries.

I first do one thing, is in the station's information centre, to a map, but you want to have each street shows, must spend 2.5 euros. To the vast Hutong in looking for direction, I do not hesitate to buy a copy of the most detailed map of Venice.

Here are our first impressions, in addition to the water, is very, very many people; out of the station, we also import this flood of rolling stock; right now we are "Spain" Ave., colourful shop Windows deeply attracted! I saw large masks, all kinds of colorful glass craft products, direct to us dazzled, Keun almost al fixed steps! but never dragging luggage to watch, in residence not far from the station, less than five minutes to find out, just before the end of Saint Spain road Geremia square.

The waiter will go to a US passport, while giving us the door key and does not take fees.

The room is very clean, the rooms and furnishings also looks; art, very fine, very elegant, toward the eastern side of the street, we have a very large double balcony, terrace front cloth with colorful potted plant (next to the square, we found that this is the entire building unique double balcony), a separate shower room, grooming room, balcony opposite across the Plaza, San Geremia Church. Of course, the cost is relatively high. 65 euros per day.

After a brief rest, came to the following Spain Street, continue to enjoy many types of small commodities, of course, the camera records the entire process, and then visited the supermarket to buy tomorrow's foods; and in the street side restaurants bought ready baking pizza right when the dinner, also in the supermarket flowers 2.3 euro bought three balls of ice cream, with taste, taste.

5/22 (Wednesday) clear to cloudy (Venice's main island)

7: 30 pm, we have to import the shuttle continued flow of people, this is a feature of Venice: along the pedestrian walk you could find the patency of the road (or alley), which in Venice is a one-size-fits-all truths, in other words, as long as there will always be live Hutong, groups of people walked past — only one person to go to careful! perhaps you keep up with the people it into the room!

Through the House in front of San Geremia Plaza, immediately to the East is a bridge, the following is a canal tributaries, where all kinds of vessels in Suzhou River also thin River Shuttle, this is also a feature of Venice: the street run by all vessels, this is Venice's main island residents only travel mode; this is because the "Venice built on more than one hundred small island, millions of pillars, by 400 bridges, is the world's only fully built in water city.

"Commonly referred to as Venice, is just to gather in one of the main island.

Along the River to the North, we look for Jewish settlements (GHETTO), because in my impression, Venice is the Jewish world, and the drama "the merchant of Venice", I always feel that this is what they got, Fortune; there is also a very famous movie: "death in Venice", the scene almost all in this shot.

Soon ran out of place: handheld that bought detail, few walk into the third street on the right, but found that almost come to an end, front to the sea again! when you see another bridge in front, I realized that must come first, and immediately go back only by the observation that came out to see the people of Shanghai in the eyes of a small alley, actually are one the road!

Quickly come to a real small island, there are three bridges at the edge and everywhere, this is the old Jewish neighbourhood in the Centre, in fact, no special exception on both sides, as if in Shanghai, Suzhou River, both sides are old old House, and, of course, the boat is indispensable; it is said that the Jews have not much now, but from the Church, housing, restaurants see Jewish style;

The position, we return to the main channel along the direction of the pipe detailed maps well to lead us to the right direction.

And then we have adopted a new policy: I constantly in front of the shuttle, traveled to see every single channel, foot free line of addiction; then take c-Chin, on a place worth walked her again; in this way, I almost put all over the Grand Canal side of the trail, HenryThe Grand Canal Venice compared to a street in the city winds 3.5 km long, the "Street", was sung Blue Palace, a baizhantingshi, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque, mostly 13-18th-century palaces; taste are visited in the past, from West to East, to the Palace where the Deming Karaki (coducci design of one of the representatives of the Renaissance style, 1883, Wagner died in this; now here is Venice's winter Casino), Kim taek, Apostolos Torre Abbey, Notre Dame de MI la, the Church in Curitiba mosas Tomo Church, Leonid riding like, arrived at the Grand Canal on the second bridge: Rial Thomas Bridge;

This way keep the shuttle in Alley and Afar, even on a steamship Wharf (because many terminals are our city's numerous bus stop), and constantly enjoy Venice peculiar streetscape, waterscape, King; peculiar waterscape since no question that the Grand Canal on both sides of the building, it is also a very strange and beautiful, the structure of exquisite, modelling of unique, Golden House is a typical representative of Venice's most beautiful gothic palaces, wealthy businessmen Kang Contarini built in 1420, the above with jinyezi, inside a collection of paintings, murals and sculptures; entire can say white too busy, or you can say to the magnificent, walls, balconies, Windows very fine carving, allow me to be a less-appropriate metaphor: like a delicate cream cake!

Only for photography, because in the morning, walk to the tourist attractions are in shaded locations, but the opposite is a bright, so as to best light these attractions, yet to be passed here back in the afternoon.

Rial Thomas Bridge, built in 1588-1592, operating on both sides of the shops, jewellery, fur, mask, silk and souvenirs; here is the oldest inhabited areas of Venice, take the bridge, local residents holding a newspaper, leisurely lived their immutable greatest life, I want to take a picture, Keun standing on the bridge looking scenery photo, but it can't bear to go off behind her rear facing, was reading a newspaper of Venice man! bridge clifftop Canal on both sides, I have an exposure to waibaidu bridge.

Because of the Grand Canal here is "S" shape, just from West to East, and now start from East to West, respectively through the wave Palace, Gerry Mani Bhavan, Manny square, where we hear the authentic Italy tenors! melody, accompanied by strong tenor, deeply attracted me! this moment, the camera in the hands of Arab-Keun, my reaction over snatched machine, sound has drifted away, that is from a so-called "Deluxe Gondola".

Called "Gondola" is a kind of two pointed up the hull of the boat, lit, narrow, dark, somewhat like China's "Dragon", just to make it shorter and wider; the boat decorated with beautiful Scarlet cushions, a boat can sit 6 people, very comfortable and pleasant. Venice boatman is a handsome guy, really lives up to its name. The boatmen were mostly standard Italy Casanova, Super fine, delicate facial features. They wear a uniform black costumes, waist line with color silk belt, head with a boat-like hat, like a medieval nobility, it is said that many of the Sir is hereditary, so do the business for generations; so what is a "luxury", it is the ship much two "prospective owner", an accordion player and a tenor, authentic masters course or "skipper". Fortunately, in later bridge, finally caught a bit of luxury and sing, in fact, the gondola with constant see along the way.

Continue West across the waves VARO bench, Sant'Angelo-square, Saint Towcester Califano Plaza, barbareau Palace, came to the Grand Canal on a third bridge: College of fine arts bridge.

College bridge, built in 1932 in the years to College Art Gallery (GALLERIA DELL ' ACCADEMIA, the collection of the world's best artists paintings of Venice); Baroque palaces-right bank ranks Nico House, collecting 18th-century Venice works museum, 1889, Browning poet died here; on the left bank there are two gothic Palace, on the South side is justinien Palace, Wagner composed in this "Cui Stan and Aesop de".

Cross-wood structure of the College of fine arts bridge, came to like an open Sandy Island (called DORSODURO district), left (South) not far from there is a layer of Leon's Palace (PALAZZO VENIER DEI LEONI), which has gugenheim collection of many modern works of art; in the face of the Court of the Grand Canal, a statue of Marigny nude rider statue, there is a huge "guy"; we sat down, rest, enjoy King, lunch, entrance on the left bank is the Baroque church of the great lent Yongfu (SANTA MARIA DELLA SALUTE), from the 17th century architect lung and then design, 1603 Venice city after the great plague occur in the construction, we walked to the island, because of the Spire is the repair cannot walk.

Back to school art bridge, the whole morning to toilet, then the charges under the bridge to solve a toilet, 1 euro per person! then went to the Cole NAR Palace, Phoenix Theatre (FENICE); then, came to Venice's most famous attractions and Center: San Marco square.

The Centre of Venice is sqare, Napoleon had it known as Europe's most elegant Studio; the square have the flocks of pigeons, band and even Arcade Shop underneath; St. Mark's Church is to mark's Gospel author, here named his remains stored; front five decorated with inset entrance, is a 13-century architecture; main door with the famous copper horse copies (the original several times in the sack of the Church).

On the South near the Bell Tower, the sea is 100 m high; the square also has a branch are odd in 1496, the design of the clock tower, built on the top two bronze-Mo-er portrait scheduled Bell;

Hotels by the beach is a small square, have two 12th-century large cylindrical, namely the symbol

Venice's winged Lion, Venice patron di Fedor statue; on the East side of the House, Byron called it a "huge and luxurious Palace", a typical Gothic architecture; close to the Palace of the Duke of prison, prisoners convicted from two connected bridge walk into the cell, this bridge is the famous bridge, but today's young people believe: under the bridge by gondola, love, kissing; Fortunately, we bridge the outer beach is called the "PONTE DELLA PAGLIA," on the bridge, listen again to the bridge across the gondola luxury boat came loud tenor, melody is so elegant! this time I did not miss this opportunity.

Sqare West San Sansovino's library, the outer wall has beautiful arcade and pattern.

-Keun in square edge small break for a while, I came to the West information center library, Advisory tomorrow plan of Outer Islands tour; there are four or five tourist is queued, my turn, consulted to Murano island (MURANO) and Burano Island (BURANO) and Lido Island (LIDO) traffic information, confirm a day is sufficient time to return, so we'll just buy a small ferry ticket at 12. Reception of the order of proposed we miss is: ① Murano island (MURANO), ② Burano Island (BURANO), ③ Lido Island (LIDO), proved to be a more reasonable line.

Then we queued (8 euros) reached the top of the 100-metre-high clock tower, it is worth mentioning that, not too regular conductor (concurrently ticket) to play a small wrist: received our money is just waved and told us to go in, not the usual print ticket to us, although only a very small moves, my instant response is to do nothing, but I feel it is a bad mood.

Because of the lift to the top and bottom, so it is relatively easy.

The highest point reaches Venice, surrounding scenery at a glance, the nose is San Marco Church, the square, numerous Feige mixed in numerous flows of people, a peaceful scene; a guest to the Canal to the sea, the opposite is the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, a veritable small place that stands like a clock tower, next to the clock tower is clean white San Giorgio Maggiore Church, living a tessellation of the picture-in-; Group plastic right (West) out of DORSODURO, Venice, the main part of the island, the top part of the great lent Yongfu renovated; the Ministry of the Church is then almost parallel state is the Giudecca Island, covered with a YHA Youth Hostel, if there is a boat in a day; to the East is the CASTELLO, Venice's main island of the other part, extending out of sight is the endless blue sea; North of almost, CANNAREGIO, is the sea even tablets; West is no exception.

So is the sea around the whole of Venice, the sea's name is "Ya de ya" calendar, because the special reason, since we know this place; precise, here is the German calendar-sea "Venetian Bay".

The clock tower, step on the way home; through the most lively business district of Venice, where the flow of people such as tide, regardless of the environment, people, or the streets, lanes, are very like Shanghai chenghuang Temple, but this area is also famous throughout, and of course for Chinese people, not our standards of cheap goods.

Once through the Rial Thomas Bridge, this time we walked along the Canal in the West, because the Sun in the morning of the West, through the East Coast attractions are bathed in sunlight, as I use the best light. Afternoon along the order through a Rial Thomas Church, fish market (already closing, the square only a few empty shelves, some fruit amortization open), peisaluo House, Costa El Church, beronie · battaggia sites, demini churches, Church, Orio, handheld 2.5 euro map, tour in Venice lanes, comfortable, smooth, visited the to each place, back to the Barefoot monk bridge, Santa Lucia train station; a brief thought, finally not by buying the ticket, 12 hours or leave out the morning and then buy.

Today in city tour for almost 12 hours, 7: 30 departure, 19: 30 back to the House.

5/23 (Thursday), cloudy and rainy go (Venice, MURANO, BURANO Island:, LIDO, the main island tour)

Today we decided to travel around in the water, Venice and the surrounding islands, 8: 30 minutes to the train station in front of the ferry, bought a 12-hour general ticket 14 euros per person, in Venice, the main island to use means of transport, by boat is the only choice; city of less than 5 minute trip, such as 1, 2, 2-channel is a previous 82 Avenue; go to the outer islands are 15-20 minutes for a frequency of at least 30 minutes for a steamship map has a very detailed description of all the sites, change Office, at a glance.

Wait until 8: 45 or so, see 42 road ship on time, I calmly in the shore machine playing the record used for the first time, a little of a passenger, eastward along the Grand Canal is not far to the North, along the known as the "small" CANNAREGIO canal, through two bridges on the sea, the small Canal, East Coast, it was yesterday morning, we look for the Jewish settlements have come; through the little alley only as "the road" article, shipyard constantly docked main island side of Pier, feeling visitors, are basically work for people in a hurry; after Saint Ali wiessee Church, Madang na · daror, Church, Jesus, before the ship leaves the main island, first arrived in the East of the Saint called "clarity" of the island (ferry terminal is called "CIMITERO"), the island also has a church tower; the next is the small island of Murano island, we take the boat spare half circle, in a "PALAZZO DAMULA" local press crew under the direction of the ship.

Murano island (MURANO), looks like little Venice, the 13th century glass factory moved to here, is located in Venice's main island North 1.5 km, 15-16th century Venetian nobles and rich people to escape the city busy looking for that one can spend quiet time

Island; from the 13th century was imprisoned on the island of craftsmen making glass crafts, is Europe's favourite decoration, gradually become valuable output products of Venice, bring wealth to the Republic of Venice, a glass Center. The 14th century, the island's glass master is tin-lead alloy and mercury to the piece of glass, mirror this invented; we landed on the island, there is hardly any tourists, very clean, few minutes walk to the "CAMPO S · DORATO" Church, edge also has a high Bell Tower, a sculpture stands next to a bunch of pretty, chic glass flowers; even there is a huge glass produced by Abacus! also quietly erected in the Cathedral. In addition to the glass sculptures erected everywhere, many small handicraft shops, the full range of various types of glass ornaments, colorful, very fine; I'm in a shop clerk with Italy youth talking to, I-Keun photographing video for fear of their displeasure, I continue to admire his shop articles rich, dazzling, furnishings, artistic charm, something not on his face! straight, even smile; then I open carry of commonly used terminology in Italy, to learn from him how accurate pronunciation, which of course also his best, of course, be happy, this gap, Keun gave his shop carefully scan again. Go to some of the more massive of the shop next to the item is a unique production workshops; we to Murano island, streets, shops almost empty, very quiet; 1 hour later visitors a dial dialing, island with angry, but also lost its tranquil scene.

Off the map, the Murano island has six small island, there is the bridge between them, so here's the scene and the main island is very much alike.

Go to a crooner Robert (FARO), Murano island Terminal, 11: 00, take the "LN" road passenger ferries to Burano Island (BURANO), sailing from Murano island, not just after full original-like atmosphere of the island, the boat shuttle MAZZORBO in overgrowth of the island, this sight, so I thought of when I saw the movie: the Danube Delta.

To the East of the island close to MAZZORBO is Burano Island, very close to the islands of Venice, is famous for its special lace lace production base of Venice, in the small island of shop, filled with a lot of lace products — derived from our China! its second characteristic, which is covered with different types of housing, exterior color is red, blue, yellow, adjacent housing colors will not be the same, small island, colourful, Canal was colourful houses and sell ribbons kiosk shop, this is also known as the "color" of the unique landscape of the island.

As there is a certain amount of travel, together with the Terminal people crowd scattered, fragmented, we avoid abortion, leisurely walk through the island, free, on the edge of the two girls, like students got red, actually is to talk with Shanghainese in the case of two fellow-townsmen, prostrate; I also use dialect loudly and Keun dialogue — could not raise their resonance!

Come to Burano island's South end, here is the B · GALUPPI Plaza, edge is the CHIESA DI SAN MARTINO Church, the beach there are many houses, live leisurely Italy, some air with nets in front of you.

We here at ease the moment spent with lunch, enjoy the quiet life in southern Europe.

And so the four bridges connected Burano island go over, we intend to run the next target: Lido island.

And the main island of Venice, Burano island also is full of Hutong, housing, or flat meadowbank, cause I haven't found a suitable and convenient place (here really do not want to contribute to public toilets), and finally see a comparison of the long bridge that leads to nothingville MAZZORBO Island, deserted island in alleviating the burden of green shade.

Go to the Lido island by boat is a larger "LN" road (but just from Burano Island to is LN road, hull but not quite), many vacation Italy local schoolchildren and we must, I and a middle-aged female teachers speak, she could not understand English! in French even don't know what the!! what squirt? not like because it feels very easy-going; then maybe lazy? — anyway learned also baixue, useless?!, so it is exemplarily, that teaches students? do not dare to think ...

Sitting in the boat in the upper section of open Office, Adriatic Sea Breeze, really stunning! soon, Keun, had to the stand to the following to avoid, just very hot seat, and now there are only a few straggling, are undaunted by the cool sea breeze, the sky was falling drops of rain, the so-called sea children face, volatile.

Near ferry near Lido Island, the island's Church, Bell Tower at a glance, and finally can see the island is Mercedes-Benz cars, to know the main island in Venice, is access to the car.

Boat dock "SAN NICOLÒ FERRY" Pier, I think in the next station authentic "LIDO" Terminal maps, from the point of view, this Terminal is slightly, you see a lot of Italy have a pupil, ship ship some time, the radio Irian bark with Italian, we are not concerned about the issue here:; the vessel left the dock after seems to be a "benefit" in the Terminal, but do not rely on it, but gradually away from actually to Venice!! thanks to San Marco square is not very far, 10 minutes later the "S.ZACCARIA", one step away from San Marco square; then we took a number of very many 1 road boat, then back to the Lido Island — anyway today to buy is 12 hour ticket! 10 minutes finally arrived at "LIDO" terminals.

This is one thing about 12 kilometres of long island, and France's nice, United States of Miami, Hawaii's Waikiki are equal, and the world's largest waterfront spa-resort, writer Thomas · door by Ashen Saneh nostalgia for a long time to dyeing and died of the plague, in the film "death in Venice", the benefit is

Is not a holiday resort.

After the island, crossing the island 10 minutes later came to the southern Beach (width only 600 meters), South overlooking endless turquoise green to the South of the Adriatic, is already split of the former Yugoslavia, and then forward is a famous European "beacon": Albania, further ahead is the ancient civilizations Greece.

There is no nice beach side, appears especially calm, quiet a bit out of my expectation, we look at the seaside, in the side of the stage photo sculpture photo before, in the quiet of roadside shops on the island before pictures of ice cream ball is cheap.

Then take the road to ship back to 1 guest, we immediately began around the island by boat ", or" 1-channel, started from the Canal, the Canal; San Marco top left the peninsula is of great lent Yongfu Church, the surface is repaired; forward is Leon na Palace, diagonally opposite the magnificent Palace of is on the right bank (CA ' GRONDE), three layers of Mulberry Sansovino Renaissance-style palaces, now is the Office of the Chief Executive of Venice; University bridge, not far from the front row, left is SEO rank and Nico House, next to the justinien Palace, Foscari Palace, built in the 15th century, when the family control of the local community of Venice; on the right bank of the Cornell · Spinelli Palace, coducci design in the early Renaissance Lombardy style of the palaces; the front is limani Palace, now is the Court of appeal, is the mulberry Micheli's masterpiece of Renaissance style; after this wave Palace, Rial Thomas bridge also show here; to the left is the fish market, the Golden House, opposite the large Baroque building peisaluo House, long hop that's masterpiece, the Museum of modern art and the East; then turn after vendramin · Carlisle Kat site (now a CASINO), San Geremia Church, the railway station in front of the Barefoot monk bridge, arrived at the shipping destination: Roman Plaza; here is an important transit into or out of Venice, boat, bus transfer, near here is St. Lucia railway station.

We are here to put on a 2-way, and began a tour of the West Island.

Comparison of open the West, but because the walk through the Giudecca island and "DORSODURO" between the Islands, the ship continued to stay in between the Islands, where the trail along both sides of the island's contour and smooth extends forward, pedestrian AspectWerkz hurry, is clever of the Jews, as well its established plan, has nothing to do with the outside world; they do not concern around numerous visitors from all over the world all colors of visitors. After SANT EUFEMIA, GESUATI Church, REDENTORE, ZITELLE, San Marco, just opposite the San Giorgio Maggiore island off the boat.

Really small place on the island, San Giorgio Maggiore Church (SAN GIORGIO MAGGIORE) and the Vale de theatre, built in the 16th century onwards, the 17th century; we first island side "greed", while overlooking the River, flows of people crowded the square, the Bell Tower, bridge, and so on, and around so calm! shake to see where the body in Wonderland world!

Along the island's only channel, has come to an end, Vale de theatre, which seemed to have exhibitions; then returns to the Church and into the visit on the bottom instead of Queueing (visitors very scarce), spent 3 euro per person, took the elevator to the top of the Gothic bell tower; this is looking back on the small island of Venice's main island, is another have a taste! let people really prefer to forget to return to a foreigners please!, Keun gave him a photo, see me go up, the camera immediately Keun gave it to me, puzzled foreigners came up with, I do not know what had happened, but I used a special angle he finished phase, he checks whether satisfaction, foreigners, opening their eyes and mouth are cannot close: say I'm a teacher-level photography masters!!!

Back to the guest, again by boat through the Grand Canal, the railway station, and for the boat trip around 52 road, East Coast, this boat is already scarce, as only the flow of people from local people is sparse; through SANT ALVISE, MADONNA, CHIESA DEI GESUITI, SAN LAZZARO DEI MENDICANTI RRANCESCO DELLA VIGNA, SAN, SAN PIETRO DI CASTELLO Church has again reached the top of the Lido Island (because the ship direct's sake), we then transfer 1 Road, follow Mark's gorgeous sunset, Crimson Shadow "egg", the third through the Grand Canal, go back to the station days finally black down, from 8: 45 am playing first ticket, to now is exactly 12 hours!-Keun curiously then uses the ticket to the small yellow machine a try, it really is not.

But take a one-day shipping, not met once the tickets – the ship's staff is regardless of the ticket.

5/24 (Saturday), cloudy (morning Venice main island, afternoon train to Rome)

Night stay 2 night Rome: "the train at Venice-Rome IC705, 13: 23-19: 03, confirmation number: A4KX99, CARRIAGE SEAT NUMBER 10, 45, 46 (SUN CARD); each person € 30.8

A blink of an eye, in Venice has entered the 4th day, because the main attractions are almost gone, today morning half day decided to go shopping and enjoy exquisite small commodities, and other leisure tour; early in the morning we arrived Rial Thomas Bridge near the fish market, fruit and vegetables in the Milošević Gallery, Gothic Pavilion is the morning fish — to pack for lunch.

Morning market really excites, market in seafood variety, but also extremely fresh, many still live, let's eye-opening. Almost all types of fish are sold to the bone on the block, just as we saw on the domestic market of salmon of furnishings; almost all fresh shrimp is sold to the head, at price points and domestic market almost, feeling not too expensive, the biggest advantage is more varieties, fresh; many seafood we call out their names, but stalls are clearly indicate the name and price, so I had left a video or photos, stored in the memory. A little pity, shelter didn't mentionFor cooking facilities, not wine-

Today Rial Thomas under the bridge on the Grand Canal, bustling seemed to be holding similar dragon boat race performance, crowds of students by multiple large boats take part in activities, there was a loudspeaker is applauded, cheering, enables the scene to climate anomalies.

Rial Thomas Bridge North to the South is the market, including the bridge, there are numerous small shops of all kinds, regardless of the layout style and atmosphere, and Shanghai chenghuang Temple very similar; however, compared to the domestic price is relatively high; of course there are many brand stores, the price is not the last page; we only chose a few little mask, as the vehicle interior decorations.

It looks fairly honest middle-aged men shop asking price € 3.5, buy three only 7 euros, and vowed to ensure absolute is the production of Venice!

Unintentionally, we walked to the famous bridge of Sighs, nature can be found on the back of the occasion, here people photography relatively less, and the seaside attractions at the crowd difference is large, the same sqare still flow ruchi, Venice belongs to the people of the world, forever like the tide of tourists stay!

Once through the Rial Thomas Bridge, is very interesting to see a Western girl, followed in the footsteps of her mother, followed by the younger siblings, but this is about 7-8-year-old child was pushing a car toys baby carrier, baby carrier, sat a baby (is of course a toy), 7-8-year-old she die decent played a role of a mother! fun! I grabbed in Keun hand cameras, hot pursuit, walk with shooting until the amount held bridge, made a very interesting moment, hopefully I don't become paparazzi.

On the way back to the hotel, we in the supermarket "BILLA" bought a roast chicken, fried, a big bottle of Coke, total is 4 euros, right for today's lunch.

Back to the hotel has 12: 30 pm.

12: 40, arrived at the train station; probably at about 12: 55, played on the display of our trips is the number of platforms, so smooth on the bus to Rome (car of the endpoint is Naples), 13: 23 min train starts, don't the, little Venice!

The entire car in less than 10 individuals, very clean; we begin to enjoy their own lunch; however such leisure life-style is undergoing of scenes soon will come to a close: stopped after approximately 3 points, the car had all full! train passing MESTRE, PADOVA, BOLOGNA, FERRATA, PRATO, Florence, at 19: 03 minutes on-time arrival in Italy's capital city: Rome central train station; consider living in Rome for two days, we don't have to buy more affordable Rome Tour 3 days pass, from Naples to come back and buy it.

Here is our only choice to live in the Chinese family hotel, the famous King's sister, 1 month ago by appointment, for this reason I also and Naples hotel, adjust the schedule for the day; the eldest sister, we from the railway station exit No. 26, because all the way out of the station is missing the road signs, a fee for a bit of trouble, it found the King's sister's House.

Here is the Chinese people accumulate district, see Chinese store ID, it can be considered a side bar; these days, every day mixed in Western abortion, and dealing with foreigners, Meng saw Chinese district, closeness arises spontaneously; but it was a bit disappointed: there are many nearby clips ligation blacks, Arabs, stand on the streets, small groups, give people a feeling of insecurity!

Originally, we came to a big sister Yang, and big sister is related to the King, she had not lived here! said is the first arrangement! we had to be arranged, big sister's husband, King CHOW brother came to pick us up to the real big sister's House, the King of Kings sister but because it is already back home.

In the week, big brother, I ate a long lost of rice, big sister for Wang isn't in that we eat are salad, delicious still can; they are Northeast, this point will understand.

Ordinary Rome apartment homes have a very old elevator, you want to manually open the two doors, to a floor must be tossing two elevator doors are closed, so that people normally use.

Report: Roman King sister address: Viaricasoli19, doorbell: left 9, name: huang central station, platform down export, three road turn left, go to the first turning on the right to see China food stores, name: sanyuan foods. my house is on the opposite, doors left Bell: 9, name: huan

Italy 8-day tour-Search Home

O'clock flight to Milan flight, ship outside of the stars and cabin passengers same spatter, Shihfen, bleak, midnight visitor looks are spiritless, my trip to Italy began like this, this is the first time I went to Europe, in front of me a bit on the seat senior gentlemen's always sit upright, not like other guests as lift seat armrest lie over during the four-seat, although I'm sleepy, but still embarrassed in front of lie down to go to, eventually most people doing the sleep, my previous Italy man stand up his coat off carefully folded and turns gave me a smile, turn off the lights.

Everyone is asleep, spacious Airbus 340, 70 + passengers in bed, I quietly release my excitement, a dark grin laugh, this one-night must be good, because I'm in the million meters of altitude, because I would wake up in Milan.

Ten hours later, I woke up and was surprised to have always been sensitive to their sleep for so long, rub the eye, the window is in the morning, you can see the picturesque mountains, snow, vaguely is the Alps, perhaps because on this tour of Italy, 13-hour flight seems to have become very short.

Take a guided tour, dragging luggage after customs. Milan, small quiet and not new Marco Peng Isaac airport Hall in my eyes, this is not a Milan? a strange feeling, I tried to feel, while evergreens Italy, however, no. I know, because we are a team, because there are people, this strange feeling even hold a candle to a person in the Shanghai subway when touch the heart of rush. The ensuing days, I have been wandering in the team and a strange contradiction, I always want to lag behind, always deliberately keep the distance and the team, because I want to find a strange feeling.

Italy's sunny so wanton according to me, although in the early morning of August, but does not feel the dry and warm, clear, and peace.

I looked around the hunger, fear of missed a scenic, unfortunately, Italy is along the motorway no view to speak of, imagine Europe strong fields large chunks are sparse in the fields of alternative, like medieval simplicity, farmland with only scattered straw stack is I haven't seen before.

First to arrive is a castle in the heart of the city, like then, say Taiwan tour guide half-day, vaguely heard what history Feng Zhe family and the like, we will be unable to go in there, since from the Guide to get more information, I can only attempt to leave traces, desperate for points from all angles, think back slowly aftertaste.

Who knows this confused state of mind, which continued during the next eight days of travel, every time is very limited, each of the sites that make people's only, but no time fine products, do not have the time to let your fingers on the smooth marble, no time Moldova Suo and standing in the Milan Cathedral on the top of the gods gaze for a moment, I had to leave. Spent all of the senses, touch the Millennium of precipitation, breathing is Italy's rich smell of espresso, flying is motorcyclists black hair, ears is one handsome as the appollo of straight men gentle greeting, Italy in the increasingly intense sunlight, I began to fall, I left behind. My team also began to blame me. But I am doing the greed of sucking up on everything about Milan Italy, I do not know this life is there opportunity to this gorgeous fashion, just like I don't know if I can have all of the present, I have to do is get your whole body strength to grasp.

Afternoon in Milan, began his trip to Italy's first meal, this is a Chinese restaurant, although the food tastes have obvious Europeanization, unfortunately shrewd Zhejiang female boss in character but still reveals China small businessmen's crafty, it made me start to worry about back dining, gourmet forever I travel in the most important part, I cannot because the mood and influence my taste buds, but start worrying, fortunately, my friend has little senses event wise men, put money in their possession, they do not need to go to a few euros, you can exchange for jiaozhen a mood and appetite is all good.

Departure from Milan to Verona.

Motorway, Vertigo again and again, if not the occasional Street logo, here is the most common of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, in addition to the freeway highway vehicles slightly clean, I have to constantly remind yourself here is the Northern Apennines peninsula, not far away there is a mysterious balcony — Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet gathering place – love begins, a typical European town, we came to the small town of existing world's third largest Amphitheater was about to put on than before of the Opera "Carmen", the wall has been split, arena looks without the wind and rain, but the performance of several hundred light computer lamp has high loft, the curtain has been pulled, but Carmen familiar melody seems to have sounded, prolonged applause was echoed in the town, this is perhaps the lives of Europeans, coffee, listening to Opera, scattered light, casual, downhill at the Sun. At nine o'clock, the supper.

The first night, we lived in Venice near Crown Hotel.

Excitement and jet lag let us wake up very early, understanding creep of slipped out of the hotel, enjoy no team, Venice is quiet in the morning, the visitor or clumps, simple or luxurious town house fronts in the wind, a piece of every family had a dog that whenever we admire Venice man's courtyard, their barking me alarmed, but even more amazing is that each family show that host unique mood, sill, langyan, at your ease in flowers, white rattan chair, color of sun-shading curtain, people here that are descendants of Leonardo da Vinci. Previously heard of Italy strong colors in this very morning came. Venice water city, our predecessors have had too much to describe, I cannot describe the emotion of Venice, just on the Guest House has a three-century history of coffee, I imagined a Rousseau may stand in I now stand on the steps, and I hardly any philosophical mind. Come back after I know SantaMarco was the New Testament · Matthew "of the author. Venice has too many tourists here world people of any nationality can find estimated, the square crowd packed, everyone was smiling, if everyone with ornate masked dance, this will be the most exciting dance, Adriatic Sea is said to be slowly drown the city, the glory of the Roman Empire should not be rising sea levels as the ends. In Venice we found this brand, ETRO a bloom at Italy's most enthusiastic flower brand, this is my only eight days in Italy saw her again, this brand because the colors are too strong too publicity has been withdrawn from my city, later saw her and may be more difficult, are delighted picked out two shirts, a memento of the occasion, drifted far from ETRO, drifted far from Venice.

Write here, I am afraid, is running so well, or each of our work actually in my mind is deeply imprinted on the? my mood in every brush up photos of the process and stretch out.

Venice, because shopping rush, we can only while chewing pizza ran in a hurry, while team-mates while displeasure, but they are hard to follow behind me.

Afternoon we went to Pisa, the town because of the wide range of colors and lively hailed the hawkers, noise levels in the great and Tokyo's Asakusa Temple, Man Ray doors to this environment, and will not work, we exaggerated make various postures and the Tower close up again, around the Tower, we walked the whole circle, the Tower there are Chinese, has discovered a typos, but didn't know who to report it. This is a rare bit of leisure, we as Europeans the same arbitrary sit on the steps of the in the shaded, look around, do not understand their chat, can only speculate about their relationship, presumably to their life, at that moment, we do not like a tourist, I like the integration of natives of life, though perhaps they are not local. Unpredictable, Pisa's hawker should have said "the boss, Hello", and even a Chinese restaurant, in order to make up for the friends, I invite you to eat beef macaroni, attractions restaurants usually only such fast food, pasta served when extremely disappointing, looks like a microwave oven heating of semi-finished products. But since a fork, but he was a strong smell of cheese. Of dairy products, against Italy. Watch gobble friends, I think they must have forgiven me for lunch of sloppy, will at a later time with me to keep shopping saohuo.

That night, we live in Firenze roller printed next to the outskirts of freeway, a little bit of insecurity, looking out the window, the opposite is a highway rest stop, messy, unclean, and a variety of trucks, with dark glasses of truck drivers are like heaven Italy famous Mafia, shutting out of pocket, I think of biliary warfare is gun, and it looks like a movie scene.

It is only paid the Firenze roller printed so a good name. Firenze roller printed is the origin of the Renaissance, perhaps because everywhere is historical monuments, so many historical stacked it keeps educator who received. The Guide still can't say characterizes a baffling to accompany, with the endorsement of the language, and who want to listen to it. Its a little bit of see, next to the Royal Palace was full of statues in the hallway, I'm speechless, m open its Luo, Dante, Galileo, da Vinci, and I don't know you master, the expression is different, but the eyes but not all the same, and exquisite, compassion, firm, for the first time will find sculptures have life, and everything around us can instantaneously still, let me and the master's eye contact. Continue along the corridor, appear in the eyes of the grandeur of an open-air museum, see fabulous Medusa statue with a head of knowing that when I laughed, I love the bedside has a Crystal beauty dusha ashtray, that was my birthday gift from, from Versace design. In Firenze roller printed with an hour of free time, regret is spent on a search for brand, so at the last moment took away the rest of their action, the facts prove right, walk in Firenze roller printed at the foot of the alley, is the ancient brick, roadside housing has almost a hundred years of history, we see now, nor aware now, you can consider themselves to be the woman of the 15th century, with plump fingers with skirt carefully moved up the cart to the dance; you can also run for life on the streets of artists, up easel, work out all the noble side; you may also be the passionate talent, to Firenze roller printed in one night, in the three central hole of the bridge and then stop; but you must not be a tourist, walking in the downtown of Florence the roller printed falls, constantly businessmen greeting into the leather.

Firenze roller printed suburban has a famous outlet--THE MALL, I like the locals do in there wild looking for the right discount merchandise, bought a large Pack small package, do not know why, despite the language barrier, although not many foreigners here, but why do I feel strange? in to the bus ciers na I have always wanted to find out that bothered me a lot of answers to the questions of the day.

I have travelled far, has been addicted to walk in a strange city, in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shenzhen, in fact, let's just be called home, homes, I will have you feeling, in trying to integrate into the local people live, I can clearly feel and foreign barriers and boundaries between, I will miss his home town; but the heart to the thousands of miles away in Europe, this line was not so clear, the life here, as is the inner itself has been yearning for longed to follow, and a distance of intimacy, people scattered light, people occasionally of rigid, dogmatic, people admire to civilization, it is a Capricorn? I also could not just answer.

Before coming to ciers na, always think it's just a car brand, never think it turned out it was the ancient capital, because the whole city is the historical and cultural heritage of the world, so we're so far away you'll have to walk into the city, overlooking the Marina, a ciers khaki's House in the evening

Yang within pan out golden light, unusually city most undulating in the road, walk in the street town is laborious, my friends were soon abandoned, or die Lai in roadside Cafe, these guys in Italy of 8 days is estimated to a lifetime of coffee are drunk. Appear a step, just to the front row, I do not know what corner of the scenery, but never thought that previously had a small narrow streets and lanes compel ze was above this level, a nice insight into the square in front of the Church, the Bell Tower remains, baptism, but the various levels of khaki with white rendering, even such a gorgeous, guide it is ancient history and boring numbers only, no doubt by heart, powerful Roman Empire isn't experiencing war baptism did not experience dynasty turnover? here were once the center of the city in Tuscany, Ah, why they are so careless of history to the modern? lives in a hundred years ago House, stepped on a few hundred years of floor tiles, the buckle-opening the door of the Church than his grandfather age, history here is not to worship, so people will not be easily removed again will not easily to deny the change. This is the so-called King, fear. I am in awe of ciers na, Zhejiang people too much of this town have their restaurant. Restaurant Central surprisingly a statue of the goddess.

Leave this ciers na night live in Italy of CHIANCIANO, this resort area has a wide range of resorts, night of Italy, the exception is cool, the air conditioning is not needed, many local people are sitting in the street of local coffee drink beer, store all lights are all close by, can't imagine they are in the evening do? special mention is the home of the hotel elevator had room for only two people and two box, the elevator door is a fan of wooden doors, you need to manually to close open, very similar to a classic toy.

The next day to go to Pompeii, the Guide let us prepare to sit four hour car, but also in the Sun to walk a lot. It is very difficult to understand that travel, every day of the trip is like a battle, and perhaps travel meant intense. The next day's morning road until noon we arrived in the South of Naples, Italy, adjacent to the famous port of the Eastern Mediterranean, garbage, graffiti, was the city to give my first impressions, but let the city dumps the sky remains clear, not far from the outline of the Vesuvius. Getting into the city centre, dirty feeling slightly improved, Naples show easy-going, streets are narrow, not to resist the Qi-Yan faces, see Chinese also exhibit friendly curiosity, this should be a busy port because of seasonal reasons slowed down the rhythm, the guide said that this difference than the northern economy, consumption low, people smoothly into the chapter of the lazy, the shop is closed at twelve more until we finished lunch two, they are still in the rest, the guide said, most likely an afternoon were shut out of business. From Naples to Pompeii, only half an hour, the sun shining brightly, we walked into the dusty city, the Sun is too strong, ruins had so untrue. Tourists are not so much because of Pompeii has been looking forward to fame, and he met should be rainy afternoon, blowing cold, slightly gloomy weather, after all, here giving the Roman tragedies. However Sun changed the mood, more of a marvel at over 2000 years ago people's wisdom, the old Bazaar, colorful murals, noisy public bathrooms, luxurious Garden, much less remember me. The ancient city of the central square there is a circle of area, inside the display is in the ancient city of monuments, of which there are two bones of the human body, so keep those nods prone body, at that moment, everyone thought that a few months ago of Wenchuan.

In the ancient city of Pompeii, I saw Italy rare to the dense woods of large tracts of the previous few days, the city has been rare trees, grass.

Make people wonder and even in this?, Italy has a lot of not luxury saloon cars, people periodically will drive out on vacation, while life not rich enough, but the enjoyment is not falling.

Write here, my thoughts began a bit stuck, not smooth.

Look at those photos.

In Italy was one of the most charming in Pompeii at night, back in the day, we returned to Naples, this is a lean on the Hills Hotel, Hotel Gates is a cave, the cave take the lift to get to the hotel lobby, this is already in the hillside, the hotel is well-known estimated, because a wedding just ended, but on the other side of the hotel's swimming pool at night and in a field with musicians of open-air birthday party, I and my friends in search of a song, break in, the swimming pool ripple, musicians sing sing, although not costumes, but gentle, not for us, nor waiters call, even if we tried to wave, no one ever noticed, we realize this is a private party, hurried off to find a place to hold a wedding day, sitting on the shelf, called the beer, the opposite is also a mountain, the mountain has scattered light, behind the Naples Bay, around a table in the table are older people, they say, it is estimated that the English is a senior tours, we are all AA system, although only counting is simple, open bar party, but they are wearing, delicate make-up and smile is infectious.

Foreigners can only drink beer, we will need snacks, well in time zone of the vacuum packaging of chicken feet and grandmother drunk fish, even small walnut, we can always drink to skate, drunk in August of Napoli.

The day is overcast, we rarely today or will hover in Naples will go in the morning, the first famous suliantuo "return suliantuo, nice Italy folk songs.

Suliantuo is a seaside town, large buses in cliffs along the narrow path winding way, like Pavarotti as melodious melody, turn, now can see out the window of the Eastern Mediterranean blue, the Sun suddenly implicit suddenly now, let me taste different sea blue. Reach suliantuo town, the Sun is already fully covered shotDown here is completely different from the Naples of clutter, town clean elegant, pure, clear, brilliant color greenery, and previously visited cities are not the same, the city seems to have too many ancient atmosphere, neat on either side of the street are exquisite shops and cafes, the ear is vaguely remember music, bright voice was full of sadness, though subtle, just across the town's corner, a glamorous but of the strings, words do not seem accurate statements out suliantuo to how you feel, but we stay too short so short that he came back to me and my friends repeatedly referred to this place, they should Hune confused.

Back to Napoli, give you sufficient time for shopping, but unfortunately because of the weekend, little shops, we are finally sitting in Napoli's most famous street side cafes, slowly savor 提拉米苏, wild strawberry cheese cake, of course, cappucino, Italy's delicious desserts, that kind of abnormal intensely sweet taste of direct push limits, sweet is full of milk of lubrication, but don't get fed up with people, perhaps because you must tie coffee groundnuts, flavor is so strong and completely Unlike Japan tooth lighter.

提拉米苏 is indeed originates from Italy, in the country has never been so abundant taste 提拉米苏 entrance level, cocoa powder, soft cheese mixed with slippery, there was coffee cream soak finger biscuits. For I have always like sweets, Italy's dessert can be recalled. This is our most leisurely journey one afternoon, I never had such a mood and opportunities, where there is no interference, the entire ring tones in a world where only my own, in Italy's open-air cafes, all relative gaze, weekdays rare such time, real time, but no language. Sitting on the street side of the natives, and read some more the chat is in at the far in thought, domestic life, after a busy day and just want to relax and sleep, which also has the time and energy to examine yourself, go to the discretion of life itself, to find their inner needs. At this moment, people will find European and not just the idea of peace.

Finally arrived in Rome, near the end of the trip, the hotel's standard is becoming anticlimactic, this is Italy's last night, sit on the carpet, and began to pack up and go home with luggage, carefully folded in Italy find clothes, have started to miss a few days ago to go to this place, the estate has been driving pigs, leaving me standing in front of the window, waiting for the dawn.

Vatican City, Rome, in the day time roll around, I have not reported any hope, see what is what, due to a conflict from the history, world history to me almost a blank, only relying on Renaissance period some impression of literary and artistic works to understand today's speech.

Before going into the Vatican, St. Peter's square I almost can't control your breathing, Bernini, must not be wrong, must be taken from his hand, 200 root Colonnade just like God's arm, his children and grandchildren a one into his arms, sunny, and is a complex stack of light and shadow. Bernini, the representative of the Baroque master, but very strange that such a master, but very few in the country. Here is the center of the Catholic Church, the people here are mostly religious expression, although we are infidels, but here the atmosphere is captivating, solemn atmosphere, let me very much is the convergence of their own face and voice. After the security check into the Church, the religious content of art attracted a large eyes, we are both in hand, mistakenly hit accidentally bumping into an Office at the place, here called absolute quiet, not camera can't chew gum, the gate stood staff, all black suit, ear also hung with intercom, we all sit at the long bar chairs on the Chin and God silent language, we also flashy and God said the point mind. The power of religion is really not be underestimated, on the one hand people mentally can be pinned on the one hand, there is a very good deterrent effect. But for me it's not God fearless no sustenance of molecular, religious freedom is only the readability, I see a blonde women confess to a priest, was created in, let me worry for her too faint.

In the Church, bought postcards, find the post office only to be told to rest today.

Rome also seems to be in rest, very few cars are very few people, wide roads that are old blue brick paving, Rome is a pair of Empire style, streets, squares and churches are the atmosphere of the design layout, Rome city itself is a Museum, walking on the edge of bucket animal farm, on the one side is nearly two thousand years ago, on one side is exposed to sexy tall handsome beauty of chariot DIN. When the Heart Association produces not restrain myself: this is where Rome is a city. It's like time and space-cutting into a maze that let you difficult to distinguish. History is not displayed in the Museum, but rather the invasion in life, the main attraction of the bucket of veterinary field now only broken wall ruins, field with Central are weeds, called better not lament. Look at those dilapidated walls, painful to the sky, I can easily imagine that the unprecedented level of vision, human and fight between cruel and tragic, but it was the Romans collective hobbies performances. I am not able to understand their feelings, perhaps is power worship. You can then great strength, Millennium later, just as ruins. To Rome, unavoidable is Hepburn, Princess Anne eating ice cream after a walk down the stair, wishing pool Spain, which almost became a synonym of Rome, which is in Italy in the last days, we want to retain some of here's memory, the slightest chance of a cream, do not let off any place where a souvenir photo. Rome attractions worth too much, we just went with her, in a rush to the airport by bus, I just keep and Roman farewell, here was my footprint, leaving me in a 32-year-old memories, also left a lot of regrets.

In the da Vinci Airport, slowed down, hang around in the airport's duty-free shops, do not want to buy something, just want to be much more experience exotic atmosphere, a

Journey, let me closer to the heart of life, find a home, an airplane, I and a group will participate in the Beijing Olympic Games in Italy, with cabin crew who tall handsome, bare feet in the cabin running around, hilarious exchange a stewardess to everyone's snacks, utterly unlike my compatriots, frown, his seat of distance and ferocious loudly asked Ms. back row. Shook his head, I know I have to go back to this life.

Goodbye, Italy.

(Ship)

Italy-Day 6

Sixth day 2008.6.11 five fishing villages

Two-hour train, is empty, the six individual balcony just the two of us.

Reach La Spezia, in 1, the platform has a monopoly of five fishing Pass. If you haven't found, go to the regular selling ticket window also sells. (Biglietti is the ticket office) 1-day ticket to a EU 8.5 maps and train schedules. Very useful, you can let your planned stay in each village. Weekend train will frequently. Is the train, is actually more like a shuttle to five village between Metro-it is almost always the sea cave drilling drilling out, only to get in a little face when dew-allows you to fully feel the intersection of light and dark.

Just missed a train, next to the car to Riomaggiore 11: 10, although the journey is only a few minutes.

From Riomaggiore railway station, it is the Via dell'Amore.

Five fishing village from East to West, connecting Riomaggiore and Manarola's road is called "the road of love". No Day Pass in to buy tickets.

Road construction on the cliffs overlooking the sea, is the perfect place.

Mountain cliff sides with lush tropical plants. Road repair very well, is easy, just 1 km of the road, even while walking at the side of the photograph, half an hour to Manarola.

From Manarola to Corniglia 2.8 km.

Road no so good to go, just up the Hill, and many or the original mountain road, just under the burning sun exposure, quite demanding. However, the scenery or first class.

Different point of view of the sea in the Sun show layers of color changes.

A brief presentation of the Emerald color, clearly silhouetted against the shore, patches of yellow and white gravel. It was contented fishing. Then move the far is blinded by the blue, hit black fault rocks spark white seas. Then, is the mystery of the blue, see Milky yacht through sea, leaving a trail of billowing. Seascape-now days is only a supporting role.

To Corniglia, did not stay, directly on to the railway station to Vernazza.

Vernazza is considered one of the most beautiful scenery. A beautiful clock tower and the Church, so hear bells. Village house of the colourful was nice, but no odd architectural style, and color Island magical Venice. There are many small hotels by the sea, sit down and drink a glass of beer seaview.

Optimistic about the airfares, ride to final stop, Monterosso.

This is the largest of the island, and is the only one there is the beach of the island. Naturally there are numerous foreigners in the afternoon sun solarium.

From La Spezia to Monterosso.

Buy your ticket on the machine, the earliest direct trains to Florence for more than an hour later, you can only buy in Pisa interchange for R ticket. 8.9 Europe. From Pisa to Florence by train is crowded, almost even the seat. The car did not come on time, we thought the wrong platform. Then there is the text of the broadcast, Italy would have been standing on the platform, half turned himself in to the next platform. Are hesitant to go to the English-language broadcasting, while Italy with obscure, but digital or cavity understood it, there is a change of platform.

16:50 La Spezia - 18:10 Pisa18:29 Pisa – 19:33 Firenze SMN

Dinner is not far away from the railway station, next to McDonald's restaurant in Kyoto. 26 euro very common vegetables. First charge seats, 1.5 Euro/person. The key is to pay it when I say, or the Chinese shop, do not feel good.

Milan-Florence Italy Raiders-Venice-Rome

Italy, this is full of the magic colors of old Kingdom, as legend, Italy has a strong smell and the history of Europe.

Italy tours are fun and challenging, fun is that you can loose their own travel arrangements, the challenge is Italy's English penetration is not too high, some people have not heard of English to understand risks, tours start from Euro Airline, this Shuttle in Europe's special aviation is a good way to save money, but we have to take your own with good food and water, the first station direct to the fashion capital of Milan, from the collapse of the housing to Milan railway station, rendered in your eyes is a dignified and the magnificent Cathedral of Milan, in order to better appreciate this block has a long history of the Cathedral, we chose to climb stairs, and when you climb to the top of the church up to the moment could embark on the great wall and the most comparable to the top feeling, next to the Church is the world-famous Milan famous street! for girls, Hermes, Gucci, LV, Guess, enough to make you crazy.

Leaving Milan, the next station is Florence, at the world famous "Golden Bridge", a street artist painting a picture of your sketch, absolute is a wonderful souvenir.

Next stop is in Venice, from small elementary school textbooks in the water, when it is rendered in front of you, joy is self-evident, the Venice of the path that I lost several times, because in our opinion, every road is exactly the same, completely like a maze, but such a "maze" but let you have a very special feeling, a very wonderful memories (PS, some of the Venice Italy restaurant, you can eat very pure, very unique authentic Italy gourmet, we must not miss!).

There is no water in Venice, we imagined so clear, in a stagnant water Department may some some strange smell, but these small defects can affect Venice the city of water brings us joy and memories.

Rome-the witness of history, the last station of Rome, of course, is also the most expectations, the most worthwhile cities, ancient Rome, the Colosseum, the classic movie "Roman holiday" in the Audrey.

Hepburn's Lions lie detection, Roman Forum, as well as of the wishing pool a statue of David, the Roman Museum, definitely let you dinner, full exposure to Rome the charm city. Drive 20 minutes to get to the world famous leaning tower of Pisa, and when you find the Tower of Pisa in front of you, and I couldn't go to the excitement, can only tell you that Italy is absolutely worth a go.

Six-day feast-my wild Italy (completed)

2006.10.17 Tuesday sunny

Return to the room

In the morning, I'm finishing up baggage, quietly left the Chinese hotel.

Roommate's partners also in deep sleep, in the heart with their farewell!

Dragging luggage to the Roman Forum, the way I can finally catch a glimpse of Venice.

Little river, water, bridge, everything is still the old look, they also just from dawn to be awakened, but still very steady. Said to Venice's seat to impatience of cities, it does not have a car and boat speed is slow in itself, the addition of flights as bus-intensive, often is waiting for a long time before a ship to, come and go slow, if it is something people are not crazy. But this is not the unique charm of Venice? it is not suitable in a hurry on business, it belongs only to willing to slow down and enjoy life.

The Roman Forum, I even have a Khan behind, in the end dragging box road is not good to go.

The guide book that you can buy tickets on the bus, however the driver came back directly to drive a car, no references to collect the money, and have been driven to the airport and no one ticket. So somehow I was forced to free riders, heart in old for a long time I felt strange.

Venice airport is small, but very modern layout.

I drank a cup of cafe latte, but as long as it is in Europe, approximately 1.3 Paris airport less than half. Do people really happy Ah Italy, something delicious and not expensive.

Back to Paris on the way to go through the Alps through the small window, I took the mountains towering spectacle, also see Mont Blanc.

Of course this Himalayan mountains FABI. Switzerland small villages like building blocks like riding in the Valley, and cattle and sheep scattered over the green grass, like the green fairy.

At noon, I returned to Paris, waiting for a connecting flight back to Shanghai in the afternoon.

Set foot on the Charles de Gaulle airport, familiar with the feeling of a return to the room. At the airport exit I overheard a man said: "Je suis ravi de quitter ma ville, Paris", is in French, meaning that said: "leave my living city, Paris, I think a lot of fun." I am surprised that the elderly living in Paris would have the same feeling, Paris so good, at least in my opinion, he also feel more attracted him elsewhere. In fact, I was thinking, always thought is not the place of our own lives are the most beautiful scenery. It seems this is human universals, likes to run around, like long life.

Three hours later, the band dress very full of heart, I sat on the plane AF112 to Shanghai, spanning Nineteen thousand, back to my city, my life.

Xinyi Italy, went back to paper, photos, memories.

2006.10.16 Wednesday fine

Conclusion

Aircraft to Shanghai, is the second day.

I think danyan in books written sentences, to sum up this trip, it is more appropriate.

She said that in the trip, "a heart as tired and shrink very hard, because full was very painful, as happy and fly disappeared". That is a person who has truly his very favorite thing would have emotions. Added: "one people, carrying a bag to go on in strange Street, listening to the full ears don't understand foreign words, like in the fairy tale a lost master's shadow, like a do not have to follow up the master's actions and behaviour ease of shadows, that kind of feel how good, how, how how tense, indulgence, how the clouds and vigilant soldiers. "I really like this passage, as many times as you imagine that what scenarios, now experience, completely understand. I like her, is also a person who is traveling to Europe, but also want to go to what is going on. Because the French experience in France also to language environment, so I chose to go to Italy. Was finally able to understand the surrounding people, can also be felt around voice like clear night fog like floating around, really interesting. In a foreign country a person and have to remain vigilant, sometimes a little afraid. The Potpourri Chen mixed, as long as there is a back, believe that everyone will never forget.

Am thinking about this, suddenly found themselves subject to influence danyan so deep.

Yes, her book I read for ten years, her European tour is my most favourite articles. She is very small, a little like me. But really is her book influenced my choice now or I nature instinctively chose her to suit my preference? anyway is done, is never to give out on continent that yearning for.

Came home very, very tired.

I think my head "donkey" should insist on one wheel six days, not from a bit impressed myself. Swear next year be sure to also return to Europe. To which country? Germany, Austria, Greece, Spain · · · · · · in short is in Europa, on Earth.

The old continent parasols Oh · · · · · ·

Finally finished ... hope you also see down. my own blog on a lot of photos will turn-to other countries for travel on it-we can go there ²è²è. the address is: http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/1250506742

Thank you!

Travel Italy Spain for two weeks running tally (D7, D8)

D7 (September 21) Venice-Madrid

Lie-in, climbing up the check-out, carrying a large bag travel to Venice Rome square, first through the 500 m to the train station take the package to Lucia posted.

(Here send packet, 5 hours regardless of duration are 3.8 Europe, 5 – 12 hours between each hour 0.6 Europe, some of the more than 12 hours per hour 0.5 Europe, in General, the longer the cheaper) and then continue my tour of the Venetian lanes.

Today, indecision, and some interesting discoveries.

For example, Venice, only two hospitals (marked on the map), a house in the southwest of the Canal, a canal in the East.

Hospital ambulance is a yacht, as marked AMBULANZA, rescue facilities are readily available. One of the hospital and a church just a wall away, one entrance to the square. Visitors and patients, the believers and the doctor, the priest must be very busy.

Walked, saw a ship repair of shop, several workers busy is a repaired boat into the water.

Silly me, they stood by their actions. A turn-of-sight slightly, the dock is a supermarket next to the original Venice also have larger supermarkets! supermarket is also a lot of goods, the prices are also reasonable, compared to the alley of the grocery store but much cheaper. Of course, local residents to live! unfortunately not able to find a local chat, it would be interesting to know their daily life. Maybe a cat can give me the answer. In full sunshine of a bridge, stood squarely sits a big cat. It earnestly really cleaning himself, licking the claw, rubbed his face, he squinted eyes and enjoying the Sun touch. I give it photographic, it didn't seem to mind the idea, continue whereafter and beauty. Look at it, a Chinese saying it up: Ning for justices of the dog (CAT), not for troubled times.

Go to afternoon, hungry, like, a glimpse of Venice's dining flavor, after all, to Italy not to eat authentic Italy face! so find a restaurant sat down.

See the menu, appears to be passable, a cuttlefish sauce Italy side. 10 minutes later, the noodle up, inconspicuous, the taste was OK. Not much, although I do not, or stomach felt half full. No wonder that dude I just point a surface, and ask a sentence to determine it. Check out go! at billing, startled: 13 euro. The menu, as long as 9 Europe! original also 2 European seat fees, 2 euro service charge. It seems that the next time I want to eat standing up, you can save 20 RMB! 130 Ocean Ah, yes I've ever eaten the most expensive noodles! may not have pretended nonchalant way pay, pay for his curse his side. Leaving man give me a hotel business card, but I think my life is certainly will not come again.

Almost six o'clock, I have no continuing tour of interest, although the night view of Venice is beautiful.

Directly to the train station take the package, and then to the Roma square, take the airport minibus. There are two airports of Venice, a short name is Marco Polo international airport, VCE, distance 10 km around the island. In the northeast corner of the Venetian Islands can be seen on the airport of landing aircraft; the other is a Venice TEREVISO airport 20 km, in, mainly for low-cost airlines planes taking off and landing, as I mentioned before RYANAIR flights. Roman square respectively to two airports of departure, every half an hour and a ban, at 8: 30 o'clock. Fares are 3 euro and 5 euros. In Mestre train station, also in a green car price. So very convenient.

My flight is at 10: 15.

8: 30 start receiving boarding passes. The Italy MM seems not to trust the Chinese, or if the response is slow, I used the letter in the passport of the personal information page and the visa page place, easy to find her. Partial people don't appreciate that a pull the paper out, and then start pressing the page up and down. Unfortunately, the last also have my own take visa and passport extension page means to her.

A security check when depressing thing.

My 300 ml tiehe loading of Sonia via skin cream were confiscated. Because the claims in the EU air passengers are not permitted to carry a single volume exceeds 100 liquid. To me this is skin cream! that goes through the hand one, Sorry, it is cream. It is the regulation. NND。 From Frankfurt comes out they did not let me throw this, just let me drink your water and the bottle. Fortunately didn't buy other cosmetics, otherwise, it is white. By the way, I think these new provisions, in addition to counter terrorism, fear is also significantly cheaper food shops in the airport! waiting time to drink water, you can only buy them expensive die bottled water!

Housing leakage rate it pours.

Originally I just worry about Madrid hotels may also has no subscription is successful, the aircraft is also delayed. Reach is the No. 1 a.m. on 22: 20. Ten minutes later, the subway is not only in the airport.

D8 (22 September), Madrid

Madrid metro transit is well-developed, 10 to route around the entire city of every corner of the string.

But when I carry bag into the airport metro station, is already a 1: 30 pm, only the last Metro, I rushed to the city centre of somewhere, but to my youth hostel, is impossible.

There is no map, just know that the hostel is located in the street name.

Out of the subway station, I again into a panic. In particular, people said that Spain is even worse than Italy and order. However, what is good and more! I ask the students youngsters do not speak English. But he immediately gave me a little English, carding a companion for saying this, although the accent, agitated, I completely understand. In saying this is not very familiar with the route, ask the station staff. And then told I can take a taxi. He even went to the streets to help me stand up for rent. Too eager. Please thank him, sitting on a taxi. The driver was a woman, a sentence in EnglishDoes. And I, on the Spanish also only know "Please, you, thank you, sorry." The two of us good a pointing, finally find out I'm going to place a one-way street and walking Street, she can only send me to a phase Pro Street. Opened 10 minutes is up, fares 6 euros. I looked up the next day, walk around the map 40 minutes. The price is quite reasonable! Madrid is very strict on taxi management. All visitors are able to get the relevant information, the airport railway station, initial costs and different locations between approximately how many standard the fare.

Find youth hostel has a half 2 points.

However there is a 24-hour reception. The old man looked up the computer, not my booking information. But I'm lucky to have a double room is also available a shop, you can stay two nights. Price 22 euro, two-day 44-EU, extra 15 euro deposit, make sure you check out before 10 am, and return the sheets and pillowcases.

The dark room the bed, simple cleaning out on the bed.

Wake up, have a morning 9 points. Here's also free breakfast toast, butter, jam, coffee, and tea, cereal, milk, also considered good. In particular it yourself, you will be toast toasted yellow, crunchy, sweet!

Ask the front desk to the pieces of Madrid map and started my journey to Spain.

The HOSTEL's name is International Hostel Posada de Huertas Huert, no. 21.

The location is very good, to Madrid's main attractions. If you are like me to go to Madrid for the poor, I recommend this hostel. You can also free Internet access (half an hour, if nobody behind queued there is no restriction)

First stop, the PRADO Museum.

If I am in the consumption of Hafez Gallery 2 and a half hours simply to be worthy of the Queuing 3 and a half hours, the PRADO of 5 hours is really for enjoyed, although this may not be as famous Ukrainian Hafez, value is not so rare. Europe's most famous paintings to religious stories and historical legends as a theme, so a lot of duplicate topics. For example, the birth of Jesus, the Virgin and the son, the three kings to the story of the DPRK, Salome, Judith killing-Tiffany's story, and so on. See more, but tired. While here, you can see some 18-19 century painters of completely different kinds of works, such as Goya painted village Urchin's series, such as Rubens of different styles including pencil, etc. Pour me a fresh feeling. Unfortunately, many paintings no English description, I just watched Spanish even Mongolia with guess can generally know the author's background and origins of art. Here are some of the sculptures, but mostly to imitated, the original not here or there is no public display.

Out of PRODO has to 3 pm.

Just out is a Asian MM eyes, she thought I was her compatriots – Korea? Know I am a Chinese, there is no interest in further conversation. By the way, like many young people came out to self-tour Korea, met at the youth hostel. And we organize a trip as compatriots basically, there are the rich family come out to play, that basically for me such a man is blind.

The second station, Mayor square and the square about million to sq.m, cordierite wall.

Be a ring around the hotel, which has 3 pm also basically full. "Food is, where is right. Square stands a statue of the King of Spain. This is a problem, why is it called Mayor square instead of King Plaza? I don't know who has the answer may wish to contribute.

Leave the Mayor square, soon to Spain's Royal Palace.

The present Royal family have lived in the old palace was opened to the public. 8 euro tickets, you can through the security check. The Royal Palace, it goes without saying that nature is magnificent. Now who's going to such a decoration, it means that the banknotes when caozhi. One room decoration style: Chinese, I look at the eyes. A Korea's tour came in. The Guide seems to mention China, said something to the whole people laugh. I think they are a bit ill, suffering from don't understand Korean, depressed! Palace exhibition in most interests me is the Knight's armor exhibitions Spain, exclusive corner of the Royal Palace. From helmet, breastplate, worn, armsock, Lance, dagger, to horse use of protective equipment. There are instructions, because the National Palace Museum in China and engage in interactive activities, some of the exhibits were shipped to Beijing, so visitors don't see, apologize. Look at those heavy armor, Knight fighting cannot help a little worried. So heavy stuff go in the body, it can also be like our ancient war, two members of the world 300 round? no wonder movies found Knight fight between are: first away from, and then two relative zongma, nears time quite grab each other straight spines, stabbed someone may award winning lap, if you do not have the right, you can only after difficult rushed over to La to Tau, again the charge until a person has fallen. Without you I stand in the showcase. From the Royal Palace of Madrid can look out onto the platform of the city of the West, there is a large park, the new urban area outside the Park. It seems that Madrid is constantly expanding.

Although tired and hungry, but I still stick to the fourth station-Spain square.

Way to a small square called Oriental Plaza, several Chinese, look here for tourists massage, eliminating fatigue of the journey. It seems that people outside of businesses and more. In fact, Madrid is also a lot of Chinese people, I live in the hostel is in the city centre, next to two Chinese opening of the supermarket, an area of 100 square meters, is also good business.

Spain square actually is not square, the Plaza Mayor, at least not so much space.

But here is the Centre of Madrid, just next door in the Legislative Yuan. Square in the middle is a group of large sculptures, Memorial Spain wordsmiths: Cervantes, Don Gil Caldwell and sang Koo's statue. I admire the grandeur of Spain, in such a square, not like other places like that!A King or a statue of the great statesman, and writer is exclusive.

Go too tired, square edge of a bench to sit and rest.

An old man is next to the local people, actually speak English, with a time magazine. It is quite boring and addressed specifically looking for tourists. So he and his talk for a few minutes. The old man gave me valuable information, but also provides the wrong information that directly affects my second-day itineraries. He told me that the day has come in several areas is basically the best of Madrid, tomorrow is Sunday, the Queen Sofia art museums is free. There you can see the Dali, Picasso, Miro and other works of modern artists. Note down immediately. And then I asked him to go to Barcelona by train. He said basically to the North of the train from Chamartin (Charmatin). I also wrote down. He also recommended a chain restaurant, head plate and main course and drink meal prices less than 8 euros. I also wrote down, decided to dinner at this chain of restaurants.

Farewell to Spain square, I walked along a busy street to Mayor square, because old man said there's restaurant chain.

It really was the weekend, the streets were the more, than the Huaihai Road in Shanghai. A shop door N number of women in the queue, the original store in a scheduled big sale, looks good shoes and bag are only 8 euros. No wonder that even the few men are increasingly of bikers.

Mayor square of the chain's restaurants without expensive packages, because here are basically for tourist business, natural knife to grind faster.

I can only import, locate nearby a larger supermarket, buy things themselves supper, hostels of kitchen facilities, feel free to use.

After dinner the Internet Barcelona train, by the way check out several youth hostels of address, written in the book.

Tomorrow morning, go to Sofia art gallery, and then go straight to the Queen of Chamartin railway station, take the 1 pm train to Barcelona. Plan is not perfect.

Back to the room, my roommate had already left.

12 o'clock to sleep, to move a girl in Switzerland. Live youth hostel is in this way, at any time you may come across all kinds of people, but also can get a lot of information, especially the breakfast end ears.
