2014夏 英格蘭小巡禮 (第四彈) Summer 2014 Journey in England (4th Episode)

倫敦夜景

倫敦,可能沒來過這座城市的人,不能說自己來過英國吧?
London, people who didn't visit this city, probably couldn't say that they've been to England, right?

自聖保羅俯瞰倫敦

姑且不論身為英國皇室所在地,就憑她擁有的兩個禮拜也逛不完的旅遊資產,就絕對值得來一趟
Not even need to mention that it's where the royal family stay, even with its all spotlights, which you are not able to finish in two weeks, it's totally worthy visiting once in a lifetime
拋開血拼不論,一些特色店可能都必須另開一篇來介紹

Not only shopping, but also all these special tiny stores should be disscussed other time
最佳俯瞰市容的角度,該以聖保羅大教堂莫屬,雖然入場費昂貴,但是教堂內部的確有一看的價值,何況能夠省去倫敦眼的大排長龍,何樂而不為呢?
The best place to see the whole London from above is St. Paul's Church, even though its price to access is quite expensive, inside is quite astonishing, and you don't need to queue for the London Eye
另外,喜愛音樂劇的人,Westend一定能夠滿足你的需求,讓人落淚的Once,血脈賁張的悲慘世界,歡樂洋溢的媽媽咪呀,還有無人不知的歌劇魅影,只怕你不夠時間一一嘗試
Besides, people who love musicals, cannot miss Westend! Once, Les Miserables, Mamma Mia, the Phantom of the Opera are all there, the only problem is if you have enough time to enjoy all of them
雖然英式食物惡名昭彰,但是在倫敦這似乎不再是個問題,其國際化程度遠勝台北,各式異國料理任君挑選
Infamous british food might change your point of views here in London, thanks to the internationalization, you can choose every kind of food you wanna eat
除了較高昂的物價與擁擠的地鐵外,實在令人找不到一趟來到英國卻不去倫敦的道理!
Except the more expensive cost and crowdy underground, there's no excuse not to visit London!
#倫敦推薦值 9/10#

巴斯-古羅馬浴場
圖片來源:自行攝影

位於西南部的巴斯,最負盛名的就是被列為世界遺產的古羅馬浴場
Bath locates in the South West of England and is famous for its Thermae Romae
雖然比起羅馬的卡拉卡拉小了許多,但是重點仍放在其尚可運作這點上
it's smaller than those in Rome exactly, but it's still functional
從外觀來看似乎不具可看性,但是實際進入後,其展示內容相當豐富,非常值得一看
From outside it's not that attractibe; however you are able to learn a lot inside
巴斯的其他景點,如新月樓與教堂,就不如古羅馬浴場這般亮眼了
Comparing to other spots in Bath, like Royal Crescent and churches, they are not as interestung as the spa
交通上從倫敦前往相當方便,且市區不大,徒步觀光也綽綽有餘
It's really convenient to go there from London by train, and the city center is also suitable fro visiting by foot
#巴斯推薦值 6/10#

坎特貝里大教堂
圖片來源:自行攝影

位於東南方的坎特貝里,最著名的就是大教堂與聖奧古斯汀修道院遺址
Cantebury locates in East South of London and is famous for its Cathedral and St. Augustin Abbey
先不論參觀大教堂的票價似乎稍嫌過高,內部的彩繪玻璃窗就已經相當值回票價了
Even though the price to access the cathedral is pretty high, the stained glasses would make you feel worthy

多佛-白崖
圖片來源:自行攝影

除此之外,市區範圍也都是可以徒步觀光的距離內
Except that, the city center isn't big, so it's easy to wander around by foot
從坎特貝里前往通往法國的門戶,多佛,只需短短半小時,就可以欣賞到著名"贖罪"電影場景的白崖
From Cantebury to the access point to France, Dover, it takes only 30 minutes, and you can already see the beautiful White Cliff in "Astonment"
不過前往白崖的路,前段大型貨車不斷經過,必須特別小心,後段則是一長段的上坡路,而且兩旁並沒有設置欄杆,除了體力之外,也需要一些心臟耐力
But the route toward White Cliff is quite dangerous, which includes trucks-passing main highway and a without railing uphill
從倫敦前往這兩座城市,都是可以當天來回的距離,當想脫離倫敦市儈氣息時,可以列入考慮
From London to these two cities could be arranged in one day. It's another kind of choice, once you are tired of the commercial atmosphare in London

伊里大教堂
圖片來源:自行攝影

位於劍橋郡的伊里,其實原先並沒有列在旅遊名單中,但為了與許久不見的老朋友聚聚,我們路過劍橋而不入,前往這座英國小鎮
Ely wasn't planned to visit at first. In order to spend some time with old friends, we decide to head to this small british town
就如老友所說的,"一不小心就會逛完了!" 伊里就是個讓人放慢腳步,悠悠閒閒走到哪看到哪的小鎮,週三週六的市集以及二手修復家具行,可能也會是掏寶的好所在
As my friend said, it's extremely easy to see everything in Ely. It's a place where you can slow down and enjoy the markets on the main square.
#伊里推薦值 5/10#

一口氣打了這麼多景點,難免有所疏漏,也歡迎親友們提出問題或建議
It's hard to mention all the details in one text, so all questions and suggestions are welcome
之後英格蘭還會介紹食宿的部份,也希望大家有空參考參考囉!
Information of food and accomendation in England will be updated afterward.
