帕罗斯岛第二天 Paros Day 2

今天决定坐大巴去帕罗斯岛的纳乌萨小镇,每人1.8欧元的车费,大概20分钟就到了纳乌萨。这个小镇比帕里奇亚更小,更安静,基本没看到几个游客,很多饭店和酒吧应该在旅游旺季的时候会很忙,不过现在都关门了,至少午饭没开门。在纳乌萨闲逛了一阵,吃了一顿简单的午饭,坐大巴回到了民宿。没想到回程坐的大巴竟然是一辆兼职校车,一路上接送了很多放学回家的中小学生,原本20分钟的车程, 变成了45分钟。其中一个绕了一个很大的弯,就是送一个学生回家,还真是很贴心。

Today, we decided to take a bus to the small town of Naousa in Paros. The fare is 1.8 euros per person and it takes about 20 minutes to reach Naousa. This small town is smaller and quieter than Parikia. We rarely saw any tourists.

帕罗斯岛 Paros

离开圣托里尼岛,下一站是帕罗斯岛,我们离开的这天,也是岛上很多生意结束今年的工作的一天,忙了一年的他她们会开始自己的度假和旅行。我俩昨天早上坐大巴从伊亚到了费罗,又在费罗转了两个多小时,再次肯定了上次来这里的感觉,这里要比伊亚有意思很多,价格便宜,各种选择更多,还发现了两个中餐馆!所以当然午饭就吃中国菜啦,哈哈,上次还是在哥本哈根吃的呢。味道还真不错,回锅肉很地道。 总之我俩的感觉是伊亚比较小,景色非常迷人,适合放松发呆,泡温泉,做按摩等等,费拉就更接地气一些,建议来圣托里尼岛的话,住在费拉,然后去伊亚一天看那些著名的景点。

The next stop after Santorini is the island of Paros. Santorini (and maybe other places) start to shutdown at the end of October. Many restaurants and hotels will close until spring. We took the bus from Oia to Fira yesterday morning and checked out Fira for a couple of hours before heading to the port.

圣托里尼岛第4&5天 Santorini Day 4&5

这两天基本就是享受假期放松的日子,没有什么特别的安排,早上起来坐在平台上喝茶/咖啡,看景色,听音乐。当然每天也还要坚持锻炼,徒步去了两个伊亚不同的区域,不是游客所在的区域,感觉像是伊亚的“背面”,没有什么游客,其实也没有什么当地人。尤其是第四天的徒步,没有什么值得记录的,基本没看到什么有趣的东西,荒芜的一片,点缀着一些当地人的房子。

These last two days we spent just enjoying the vacation and relaxing. There were no specific plans to accomplish. We got up in the morning and sat on our deck to have our tea and coffee and watch the scenery and listen to music.

吃在希腊 Eating In Greece

来希腊之前我对希腊的食物并不是特别期待,因为中国菜和亚洲菜整体来说都比欧洲菜要更有味道,更丰富一些,而且2018年的欧洲之行,也没有很多特别让我惊艳的食品,所以以爱吃为好(到哪都特别关注吃)的我,并没有很期待能在希腊吃到特别好吃的东西。

Before coming to Greece, I wasn’t particularly looking forward to eating Greek food, because Chinese and Asian dishes are generally more flavorful and richer than European dishes, and nothing really changed that opinion after our trip to Europe in 2018. Not surprisingly, I love to eat good food and we pay special attention to eating wherever we go and I wasn’t really expecting to be eating anything particularly delicious in Greece.

“秘密地被猫统治”的希腊 Greece Secretly “Ruled” by Cats

在房顶上, 屋檐下,峭壁边,餐桌,小巷里,马路边,猫咪的身影到处可见。 一开始还以为是家猫,但是看到猫咪的数量,有google了一下, 发现这些猫都是活在城市里的流浪猫。

When we came to Greece, I unexpectedly discovered that Greece is secretly ruled by cats, haha. Whether it is in Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, or Athens, cats are everywhere …

圣托里尼岛第三天 Santorini Day 3




早上9点半出发,徒步爬山去了圣托里尼岛上的另一个小镇-费拉。 这里有一条通往费拉专门为徒步的人建造的路,非常方便,虽然一路各种路况,并要翻越三个山坡,其实徒步爬起山来并不是很难,一路走走停停,拍照片,看风景,我俩一共用了2个半小时到达了费拉小镇。这里和伊亚差不多,一排排建在悬崖峭壁上的酒店,不过这里的游客会少很多。我们还经过了一些当地居民会去的地方,到目前为止我俩还没在伊亚见到过 (打算明天去搜寻)。 感觉这里的食品和物品价格会比伊亚便宜一些,而且有很多当地人的气息,下次来圣托里尼岛的话,应该会选择这里 ,哈哈。

Well we did it. We hiked the Oia to Fira trail! We departed at 9:30 in the morning starting the trail near our hotel and hiked to another small town on Santorini called Fira about 6 miles away.

圣托里尼岛 Santorini


伊亚 Oia

昨天早上坐海上快艇从米科诺斯岛来到了圣托里尼岛,昨天的风也比较大,我担心自己晕船,没敢吃早饭,没想到乘船的经历也没那么糟糕,因为是一个快艇,大概2个小时就到了圣托里尼岛。我们的小旅店帮我们叫了一个车,举着PJG的名字的牌子在港口接我们,费用是45欧元。这个司机真是一个老手,蜿蜒的盘山路,即使是超车都开的很稳当。

Yesterday morning, we took a high-speed ferry from Mykonos to Santorini. The wind was relatively strong yesterday and I worried I would be seasick so I didn’t dare eat breakfast. Well, surprisingly the experience of taking a ferry was not that bad and because it was a fast ferry, we arrived in Santorini in about 2 hours.

米科诺斯第四天 Mykonos Day 4

又是放松的一天,最天晚上这里开始起风了,今天也是很大的风,能达到 28 mph-相当于6级风,这恰好是看大海潮长潮落的最好的时机。穿过蜿蜒曲折的小巷,又到了“小威尼斯”来看海,坐在那里,听大海拍打岸边的声音,不时的就会回想过去和逝去的亲人。今天逛了一些卖纪念品的小店,又拍了一些小巷的照片,明天就要去圣托里尼岛了,享受漫步在米科诺斯岛的每一次转角遇到的景色,希望以后能有机会能带家人再次来到这里。

It was another relaxing day. The wind started to blow here last night. Today there is also a very strong wind, which can reach 28 mph. This happens to be the best time to watch the sea tide ebb and flow and to recall days gone past and loved ones from another time.

米科诺斯第三天 Mykonos Day 3

今天不打算在岛中心的小巷里游逛了,决定去岛上的一个海滩叫Ornos Beach,步行大概45分钟。今天的另外一个任务是去洗衣店洗衣服,所以我俩带好了要洗的衣服,背着两个背包,先去洗衣店,然后步行去Ornos海滩。今天的天气还是很好,风比较大,沿着爱琴海走路,吹着海风,甚是舒服。到了Ornos海滩已是午饭时间,找了一个海滩旁的饭店,享受了一顿伴着美景的美餐。

Today, we decided to do something other than wander through the alleys in the town. So we decided to go to a beach on the other side of the island called Ornos Beach, which is about 45 minutes by foot.

Mykonos 米科诺斯岛

从哥本哈根飞到希腊的首都雅典,在雅典转第二班飞机去米科诺斯岛。进入希腊真是意想不到的容易,竟然都没有入关检查?下了飞机,基本就直接取行李。来希腊之前,我们要在网上填写一个行程跟踪表,然后需要携带那个表格或者是当时填写后生成的电子码,取行李前,一个工作人员竟然也只是象征性的看了一眼PJG手机里的电子码。出乎意料啊~~

On Thursday we flew from Copenhagen to Athens, the capital of Greece, and then transferred to a flight to Mykonos. It is surprisingly easy to enter Greece or should I say ridiculously easy? There is no customs inspection!! After arriving you just collect your baggage and you’re done. Before coming to Greece, we had to fill out an itinerary tracking form on the Internet, and then we needed to bring that form or a picture of the QR Code that it generated. Before picking up our luggage, a staff member actually just glanced at the QR code in PJGs mobile phone. Ridiculous.

童话王国丹麦哥本哈根 (The Fairytale Kingdom of Copenhagen, Denmark)

10.18.21-10.20.21 阴雨绵绵的10月 (Rainy October)

出了从机场到酒店的地铁,初见的哥本哈根是一个阴雨绵绵的清晨,“国王新广场”静悄悄的,没有多少行人,行李滑着铺着鹅卵石的小路,格啦格啦的声音分外悦耳儿,敲打着我激动的小心脏,经过了一年多的疫情居家隔离,居家工作,终于又可以出来见见世界了。

When we emerged from the airport to hotel subway, the first sight of Copenhagen was a rainy morning. The “King’s New Square” was quiet and there were not many pedestrians. Our luggage skipped and bounced on the wet cobblestone path loudly welcoming our arrival. The sights and sounds, beating my excited heart, and after more than a year of home isolation and work from the pandemic, we can finally come out to see the world again.

假期开始啦~~(The Vacation has started!!)

忙季终于结束了,原本计划去马来西亚或者泰国的旅行,变成了丹麦的哥本哈根,希腊首都雅典和三个岛屿。选择这两个国家是因为不需要做新冠检测,也无需隔离,打了疫苗就可以自由自在的行动,享受真正的旅游带来的快乐。

The busy season is finally over. The original plan to travel to Malaysia or Thailand has become Copenhagen in Denmark, Athens, the capital of Greece, and three islands. We chose these two countries because we didn’t need to be tested for Covid, nor did we need to quarantine. After being vaccinated, we can move freely and experience the real joys of travel again.

各地的中国菜(Chinese Food During Our Trip)

计划旅行的时候,我和PJG就约定好了每到一个城市,都要去吃一顿中餐,比较一下口味的变化。这个帖子用来总结这次旅行中尝试过的每一个中国饭店。

When planning our trip, PJG and I decided that for every new city we would try a Chinese meal and blog about which one was best. This post summarizes every Chinese restaurant that we’d been to during this trip.

吃在马德里(Eating in Madrid)

8月15日 星期三

我俩现在已经结束了2个多月的旅行到家了,总结一下在马德里的吃货感受吧。我在其他一个记录中提及过西班牙的小菜塔帕斯,PJG非常期待到了马德里后可以尝试不同的塔帕斯,可惜让人失望的是,我俩根本没有找到理想中的塔帕斯,要么就是很单调的火腿拼盘之类的,要么就是不好吃,和我俩在温哥华吃过的塔帕斯相距甚远,失望啊~~~ 😁😁

西班牙人吃饭还真晚,很多饭店午饭时间下午1点开门,晚饭8点或9点才开门。

塔帕斯

这是一个市场,里面都是小摊位卖塔帕斯之类的小菜,大部分都是海鲜类的,因为我俩要去对面的川菜吃午饭,所以我只尝了两个,看着挺有模样的,但是其实没什么味道。

Wednesday, August 15

We have now finished The Big Trip and are safely back at home, so I’m summing up the experience with food in Madrid. I mentioned looking forward to trying Spanish tapas in another post. PJG was very much looking forward to trying different tapas in Madrid, but unfortunately, we didn’t find the ideal tapas at all. We found either a monotonous ham platter or small plates of food that was not good. It’s a far cry from the Tapas we have eaten in Vancouver. Very disappointing~~~ 😁😁

马德里(Madrid)

English not Spanish, inline below …

8月11,12,13日   星期六,日,一

马德里是我俩的最后一站,旅游了两个月后的感觉就是,不再渴望去某地的知名景点,而是可以很奢侈地随意游逛了。马德里人似乎很慢拍,把时间都推后了几个小时,很多饭店的午餐下午1点才开门,晚餐都是8,9点钟才开门。 第一天我俩10点多出门,发现街上也没什么人,大部分店铺也都没开门,所以在接下来的两天我俩都是上午在民宿休息,下午才出去闲逛一阵子。

吃在意大利 (Eating in Italy)

Read some spaghetti English inline below …

8月11日 星期六

意面,披萨,披萨,意面,这就是吃在意大利的总结 😂 😂 😂 😂

我俩去过的或者是路过的很多很多饭店都是基本在卖同样的东西,尤其是罗马,真是太没有创意了,可能因为都是针对游客的,但是哪里是本地人吃饭的地方呢?我俩就一个也没见到吗? 更糟糕的是,意大利的意面还没有我在萨尔茨堡吃的好吃,特别单调,意面里的配菜花样少,量也少,基本就是吃面和酱,毫无诚意可言。当然你可以说那可以点其他的主菜啊,问题是除了意面,披萨,其他的主菜,也就是意大利叫的Secondi, 基本的选择就是一块牛排,猪排,羊排,或是一块鱼肉,几个虾,这类的配一点儿蔬菜,或是薯条的配菜,这类Secondi没什么不好,但也没什么惊喜可言,都是很平庸的味道。

庞贝 (Pompeii)

8月10日 星期五 – Friday, August 10

今天是繁忙中转的一天,要在3点左右还车,然后去做7点50的飞机去西班牙的马德里。当然在还车之前,PJG也安排了一个参观景点,那就是去那个在火山灰下隐藏2千多年的神秘古城 -庞贝。

Today will be a busy day. We need to return the rental car at around 3 o’clock, and then get to the airport for a 7:50pm plane to Madrid, Spain. Of course, before returning the car, PJG also arranged for us to visit the mysterious ancient city of Pompeii. A city which was hidden under volcanic ash for more than 2,000 years.

下山上山 (Hiking To The Beach)

Sweat yourself to death with this English translation inline below…

8月9日 星期四

今天我俩打算在我俩所在的小镇转一转,不开车,徒步, 到海滩上看看。一般说去一个地方头脑中的地图应该是一片区域,在这里不仅是“一片”那种概念,更是“垂直面”的概念,因为房屋都是建在悬崖上,所以说是看看小镇,就意味这要下山上山! 😂  当然不这样做,怎么能叫体验过阿尔马菲海岸小镇呢 😂

开车看景 (Where is the parking?)

Impossible to find some English inline below…

8月8日 星期三

阿尔马菲海岸是什么体验?我俩的体验就是在蜿蜒的山道上,在混杂着大巴,小车,摩托车,自行车,跑步的人,走路的人的蜿蜒狭窄的山道上开车的体验,这应该是永生不能忘记的独特体验,尤其是时而有美丽的意大利女人开车着小摩托车错车而过 😅

美丽的阿尔马菲海岸 (Awesome Amalfi Coast)

More incredible views of English translations inline below …

8月7日 星期二

阿尔马菲海岸由很多小镇组成,我俩民宿所在的地方的小镇叫Tovere,离最大名鼎鼎的阿尔马菲镇大概20分钟的车程。今天打算去阿尔马菲去看看,一路还是九曲回肠的蜿蜒狭窄的山路,不过当然沿途还是有美丽的景色。
