汉普顿宫，泰晤士河游船 (Hampton Court, River Boat)

6月25日，星期一 Monday, June 25

今天是在伦敦的最后一天，PJG和我上午去了位于伦敦西南方的汉普顿宫，做火车大概有一个小时就到了，往返车票14.7英镑。

Today is our last full day in London and we went to the Hampton Court Palace in southwest London. It took about an hour to get there, and the return ticket was 14.7 gbp.

说起这些皇室宫殿历史太多了，还是在网上查阅能更详细些。简单的说些，这个宫殿开始建于1515年，1529年国王亨利八世开始在这里居住并进行扩建。后来国王威廉三世也居住在这里进行大规模的改建。所以这里建筑风格是中世纪建筑和巴洛克建筑风格的结合体。威廉三世的宫殿开放了会客室，寝宫等比较私密的空间，所以能看到当时国王曾经睡觉，工作，自己放松的地方还是很有意思的。

Trying to describe the history of these Royal Palaces is too much, and you can find much more detailed information on the Internet. But to put it simply, this palace was built in 1515, and in 1529 King Henry VIII moved in and began to expand the palace. Later, King William III also lived here and carried out large-scale renovations. So the architectural style here is a combination of medieval architecture and Baroque architectural style. The palace of William III opened up more intimate spaces such as the palace reception room  and it was interesting to see where the king once slept, worked, and relaxed.

朝宫殿走去，PJG有一张他小时候的照片，也是在这个角度拍摄的，他和他妈妈，姐姐和姨夫一起。- Walking toward the palace, PJG had a picture of him as a child. He was also photographed from this same angle.

仔细看那些中世纪时期装饰性的烟囱，有很多花样，穷人是没有这个经济实力安装这样的装饰性烟囱的。 – Look carefully at the decorative chimneys from the medieval times. There are many tricks. The sign of the rich, as poor people wouldn’t have the economical means to install such decorative chimneys.
这是亨利八世所建的幸存的一个大厅，这个大厅用于举行重要的仪式等，最有名的应该是那个锤梁屋顶（具体是什么工艺我也不是很清楚，哈哈 😅）This is the surviving hall built by Henry VIII. The hall was used to hold important ceremonies. Notice the hammer-beam roof. (I’m not sure how they were constructed 😅）
亨利八世宫殿里的Great Watching Chamber（实在知道怎么翻译，网上也没找到，如果硬要翻译的话就是保镖等候室？哈哈）, 这里曾是皇家的保镖卫士在这里等待和保护皇室家庭的地方。The Great Watching Chamber in the palace of Henry VIII (I think it’s called the bodyguard waiting room if you have to translate it? haha), this is where the royal guardian guards waited and protected the Royal Family.

汉普顿宫的周围还有一个迷宫，我基本上是跟着PJG走，似乎我俩很快就走出了迷宫，我怀疑他小时候来的时候的记忆帮助了他，哈哈。

There is a maze at Hampton Court.  It seems that both of us soon walked out of the maze. I doubt the memory of him when he was a child helped him, haha.

我俩现在其实已经到巴黎了，刚才在民宿住处完成了我的一个课的期末考试，PJG和我现在坐在离我家住处非常近的一家饭店／咖啡馆，喝一杯酒坐在这里观赏来往人群，天啊！ 我现在在巴黎啦 😍😍😍

We have actually arrived in Paris now. I have just completed my final exam for one class at the AirBnB. PJG and I are now sitting in a restaurant/cafe very close to home and I sit here to watch the crowd. Oh my God! I am now in Paris.😍😍😍

感觉没有心情继续写昨天的记录啦，哈哈，我就简单写一下吧。从汉普顿宫回来到伦敦市里，去做了观光一卡通包含的观光游船，游览泰晤士河两岸的景色。

Feel no mood to continue writing yesterday’s blog, haha, I’ll conclude it briefly. From the Hampton Court back to the city of London, a sightseeing boat using our sightseeing card allowed us the pleasure of the scenery on both sides of the Thames.

游轮上还有很多其它的景色，实在无心情记录了今天，坐在这里享受巴黎的下午了 😀

There are many other scenes on the cruise ship, but I’m in no mood to blog it today, just want to sit here and enjoy the afternoon in Paris 😀
