Day 154 Dai Xue
My aunt and cousin suggested that Yunluo and An Chuyu go to the airport early, otherwise they would be worried that they would not be able to catch the plane. After ordering, they finished lunch and left for Liverpool Station. Taking the train from Liverpool Railway Station to the airport is the most convenient and fastest, and there are no people on the train. They arrived at Southend Airport in less than an hour. European low-cost airlines only allowed each person to bring a small box no more than centimeters.
Or if you are on a backpack, it is limited to area and weight. The airport staff told Yunluo and An Chuyu that they must put the backpack in the box. Yunluo and An Chuyu were packing all kinds of clothes in a mess at the airport and putting all the clothes they could wear on their bodies. Before boarding the plane, the staff asked Yunluo and An Chuyu to put the box in a very small frame.
If you can put it in and take it out, it means that the size of your box meets the standards. If not, you will need to charge an additional fee. Yunluo and An Chuyu put the box in and stuck it inside and couldn't come out. An Chuyu took a lot of effort to pull the box out, but the handle of the box was also torn off. Arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Venice at 1:00 in the evening.
I also booked on Booking. The four-star hotel, the environment and facilities and services are good. The price is cheaper than the small B&B on the main island. It is two nights. This time, Yunluo and Anchuhui did not choose the hotel on the main island. This is a wise choice. The price is not only expensive and it is not clean. The hotel restaurant has already gotten off work, but the hotel provides fast food.
I heated it up in the microwave and could eat. I was rushing all day and I quickly went to bed after washing up. I got up early in the morning and took the bus to the main island of Venice to arrive at the hotel very late last night. I walked around the hotel behind the air bed. Someone was swimming and sunbathing. There was a bus to the main island at the entrance of the hotel, and it took more than ten minutes to arrive. Just buy a ticket at the front desk of the hotel.
I don’t remember the price, the round-trip bus tickets should be around Europe. When I came back, the platform was opposite. In order to facilitate guests to check in, the hotel specially built this overpass to facilitate guests. Italian buses need to be boarded and checked in, otherwise they will be considered as evading tickets. If you catch them, you will be fined. However, Yunluo has never seen anyone checking the tickets. When he arrived at the main island, he found a cafe.
I ordered a cup of coffee and had some breakfast with a burger. There are such masks for sale in various shops in Venice, which are very beautiful. Street artists who play in pots are actually quite nice. The painters Yun Luo and An Chuyu, who are sketching on the street, walked aimlessly in Venice. They crossed the bridge when they saw the bridge, and ran through the alley when they saw the alley. When they were tired, they went into a small shop to have ice cream and took them away.
Ou, you have to collect Ou when you eat. Yunluo bought one with Ou and asked the boss if he could sit for a while. Because he was really tired from walking, the boss smiled and said no problem. (I heard that in Italy, as long as a girl asks the local man, it is generally okay, and the boy asks it as a different matter). This statement seems to be true at all. Yunluo met such a man in a few days in Italy.
Both of them gave Yun Luo a free order. The Venetian style is always inseparable from "water". The winding water alleys and the flowing clear waves are like a girl with tenderness, with gentleness pouring in her eyes. At noon, I ordered the unique cuttlefish pasta in Venice in a restaurant by the water. The taste is really good. Plazasanmaro, also known as Venice's central square.
It has always been the center of public events for the political, religious and traditional festivals of Venice. Piazza San Marco is a rectangular square surrounded by buildings such as the Duke's Mansion, St. Mark's Cathedral, St. Mark's Bell Tower, the new and old administrative residence buildings, the Napoleon Wing Building connecting the two buildings, the Quadrang Bell Tower of St. Mark's Basilica and the Library of St. Mark's Cathedral and the Grand Canal of Venice.
It is about meters long, about meters wide to the east and about meters wide to the west. The buildings around the square are all exquisite Renaissance buildings. Piazza San Marco is unique among the squares of European cities. It is located in the city center but is not as hustle and bustle as other squares, thanks to the quiet waterway traffic in Venice. It is a landmark of Venice.
Piazza San Marco is particularly favored by tourists, photographers and doves. The French emperor Napoleon of the century once praised it as "the most beautiful living room in Europe". Every year-month, the grand Venetian Carnival parade turns Piazza San Marco into a huge masquerade party. People wear masks, wear weird clothes, hide their identities and release their joy.
Attraction type: Other recommended tours: hourly tickets: free, quadrangle clock tower tickets: euro opening hours: all day address: piazzasanmaro, Venie sat in the square and watched the crowds of tourists feed pigeons. Vendors were also aiming at the target. When they saw someone feeding pigeons, they came up and put some pigeon food on the tourists' hands.
It attracted a group of pigeons to fly to the tourists for food. After the tourists finished taking photos with satisfaction, the vendor would ask for some tips. In half an hour, the vendor would get a few orders for business. The guide mentioned the cafe in the square, the band played, and the waiter who was kind and dressed in suits on the hot day.
Let’s talk about the gondola in Venice. The charge for a gondola is half an hour in Europe, and the maximum capacity is individuals. Some ship owners are unwilling to tourists to fill the boat. Yun Luo met a Chinese girl there. Later, the girl went to find a Korean girl. Yun Luo and An Chu met a group of people and found a ship owner who was willing to accept the boat. Finally, they got on the gondola.
I heard that when I was riding in the gondola, the couple who passed by the bottom of the sigh bridge would be together forever. The handsome boat owner ordered a pasta for dinner. The taste was not as good as the restaurant at noon. In the evening, Yunluo and An Chu got lost. They walked around the main island for more than an hour before finding the bus stop.
I pulled my luggage to the train station and stored my luggage first. The fee was not cheap, and a box was for European quotation. After storing the box, I found a small restaurant to help with lunch. The kitchen was open and attracted by the uncle who was making pizza. The shop forgot what it was named, the service was very good, the taste was good, and the price was very affordable.
The important thing is that the waiter is very handsome. The last time I stood on the bridge and experienced this romantic capital of sailors, I was very reluctant to let go. Venice was born because of water, beautiful because of water, and prosperous because of water. It is not false at all. Yunluo and An Chushi spent a pleasant evening here. The people I met in Venice were very good, the restaurant and hotel services were excellent, and the speech was very humorous.
Due to global warming, sea levels have risen by centimeters compared to the previous year. The statues and church walls everywhere, which are visible in Piazza San Marco, and the stains left by long-term water soaking, remind people that this beautiful city will not be able to live in the New Year. In addition, Italian heavy industry continues to extract groundwater from the city of Venice.
The traces of tide left by cargo ships and tankers as they pass by have exacerbated this trend. Now Venice is like a lamb at slaughter, facing the rising sea level, helpless. The busy and stuffy train station has a piano in the lobby of the train station. Anyone who can play the piano can come up to show it. This handsome guy plays very well.
After waiting for a long time, we finally waited for the departure time. Yunluo and An Chu met in Florence. At around afternoon, Yunluo and An Chu arrived in Florence. Mapsme was so good. Yunluo and An Chu met in smoothly found the hotel. The hotel is only minutes from the train station, and the room is large. Shared bathroom.
Because there are few guests, I don’t think the public bathroom is inconvenient). The price is cheap, only UEFA Euro last night, and I have two breakfasts. The cuttle noodles and pizza in the picture above are worse than the worst!
Even those who don’t know art know that the most famous sculpture in the world is the statue of David. I believe that when you talk about the statue of David, you can imagine David’s handsome face, cold eyes, and perfect muscles. This is the artistic charm that transcends culture, race, language and time.
The original work of Michelangelo's famous sculpture "David" is preserved in the Florence Academy of Art. You need to buy a ticket to enter and you cannot take photos (it turns out to be possible). In order to avoid the queueing for too long, you can make an appointment online in advance. Otherwise, you have to wait slowly on the edge of the narrow street. Who made David so famous?
Every day, countless fans come from all over the world to visit him. Today, Yunluo and An met at the Florentine Academy of Fine Arts for the first time. After queuing for an hour, they finally met the male god in their hearts. The original work "David", which is tall and weighs more than 5,000 kilograms, is carved by a whole piece of marble. The statue of David was first exhibited in Florence.
This hero in the Bible is young, handsome, strong, and firm. He raised his left hand up and held the "stone-throwing belt" on his shoulder. His right hand drooped, as if he was about to clench his fist. His head was slightly bent, looking straight ahead, ready to enter the battle. His perseverance made his expression peaceful and peaceful, but the tense muscles all over his body showed agility and agility. Especially the neck muscles were hard and straight.
Holding the weapon of the defeated giant Goliath - throwing tools and stones, he is even more heroic. In addition to David, the Florence Gallery also has many exquisite works of art. The Florence Cathedral of the Virgin Mary of the Florence (florenecathedral) is the famous Catholic church in Italy, and is a treasure of Italian Renaissance architecture.
It is one of the five major cathedrals in the world and the fourth largest cathedral in the world. The Cathedral of the Virgin Mary of the Florence was built as a monument to the republic after the guild seized power from the nobles at the end of the century. The model is very original. Although it is generally Latin cross, it breaks through the church's ban and designs the eastern music scene as almost centralized.
It is expected to be used to use a dome. It is free to enter the church, but you must wear long clothes and trousers. Yunluo was unable to enter the interior for two days because of his outfit. I heard that compared with the gorgeous exterior, the interior is quite simple. When waiting for An to meet him outside Baihua Cathedral, Yunluo sat on the bench next to him and was always watching the street musician playing the guitar.
He played the piano on his own, his devoted expression and superb piano skills deeply attracted Yun Luo. When he left, Yun Luo put some coins on him. He looked up and smiled slightly at Yun Luo, as if he was not for these coins, but expressed his gratitude to Yun Luo for his concentration in admiring his music for many minutes. There are many street artists in Florence, and there are many musicians like him.
He has his own CD. If you like guitars, don't put Hua Ou to buy him a CD, or buy a watercolor painting with Florence scenery, which is also a relatively elegant souvenir. Walking from the church to the right, I saw a small shop selling ice cream, but there were too many people in line. Yun Luo and An Chuyu chose a shop with no customers next door.
The two clerks introduced Yunluo and An Chuyu in Italian. Yunluo and An Chuyu were confused. Yunluo only heard three, our, ive, etc. Yunluo thought it meant euro, so Yunluo chose the cup she pointed to three and said two servings. Damn it turned out that three meant a spoon. It seems that when choosing what to eat, you still have to go to a crowded shop.
Before I knew it, it was lunch time. This meal was the most depressing time that Yun Luo had eaten in Europe. The table was very high and the chair was very low. It was very uncomfortable to sit on it. The result was the same when I asked to adjust the seat. When I asked to adjust the seat, the waiter's expression was obviously unhappy! Because of the proportion of the table and the chair, Yun Luo accidentally put the macaroni on the top when using a knife and fork.
The point is that the macaroni is not cooked and very hard. Yunluo only ate some vegetables and meat, and the macaroni is basically unmoved. While wandering around, he found Dante's former residence. Maybe everyone is unfamiliar with Dante, but what he said is probably everyone knows, that is, "Go your own way and let others talk." Alicair Dante (—).
At the end of the century, on the eve of the Italian Renaissance, a great male poet, Italian poet, the founder of modern Italian, and one of the pioneers of the European Renaissance era. He was named after his long poem "Divine Comedy". He is considered the greatest poet in Italy, one of the most outstanding poets in the West, and one of the greatest writers in the world.
The old bridge above the Arno River has experienced storms and rains. Although it has not been able to withstand the erosion of time for more than 700 years, it also proves that the ancient and moss-covered old bridge is still in use today. There are many shops on the bridge that specialize in precious jewelry such as gold jewelry, which are bustling and bustling. It is very lively. It is said that these shops have taken root here more than 400 years ago.
It is a real time-honored brand. It is not an exaggeration to choose some jewelry you like in these stores, exquisite carving techniques and exotic design styles, and it is not an exaggeration to use them as collections. There are many legends about Laoqiao. According to legend, the great poet Dante fell in love with Beatrice at first sight when he was 2018, and finally got to know Eight years.
Dante and Beatrice met again on the old bridge. Beatrice's beauty shocked Dante's heart. Although Beatrice eventually married someone else and died soon, Dante's admiration for her accompanied her throughout his life. He wrote "Rebirth" to commemorate Beatrice, and in "Divine Comedy", he was also guided by Beatrice, the messenger of love, to guide him to travel to heaven.
It can be seen how deep his affection is. On the old bridge, you can also see a postcard called "The Encounter of Dante and Beatrice" commemorating this scene. Not far from the old bridge, Yun Luo sat behind a painter. Seeing him painting portraits of a couple, Yun Luo liked to sit there quietly, admiring the people and things around him who were interested in.
This is much more interesting than rushing to go from one attraction to another. I met this musician again near the old bridge. The map shows that the pig fountain is near Yunluo and Anchuyu, but Yunluo and Anchuyu circled around the market but did not find it. They asked the clerk of a juice store, and the clerk said with a smile.
Yunluo answers such questions hundreds of times a day. Under his guidance, Yunluo and An Chuyu finally found the Pig Fountain. According to legend, put the coins in the pig's mouth. If the coins fall out and enter the pool under the underground mouth at once, it indicates that you will return to Florence in this life. Yunluo's coins will fall into the pool.
People think the name "Little Wild Boar" is not suitable because the statue is not small, and the bronze material makes the wild boar appear thick and even look a little fierce at first glance. Fortunately, the wild boar "checked" in sitting posture, and even if the eyes are wide open, it does not seem to have much lethality. In Italian, this is called "fontanadiporellino" and "pig fountain".
When I was with the foreigners, I was also "promoting" it. It looked like the "fountain water" was like a wild boar's saliva, haha, I just called it "slobber wild boar". After two extremely disappointed experiences in Florence, Yun Luo chose a Chinese restaurant without hesitation. It was the best Chinese food for us. After dinner.
Take the road at the railway station to the hill opposite the Arno River (thearno) on the city of Florence. You can enjoy a beautiful view of the city in Piazza Michelangelo. At the terminal station, Piazza Michelangelo, you can take the bus back to the train station for free within minutes. There are very few people on the bus. I remember Yun Luo gave up his seat to several old ladies at that time.
But the old lady smiled and refused. There was a bronze statue of David on Piazza Michelangelo. Yunluo did not take photos because Yunluo's male god was only in the Florence Gallery. The Cathedral of Hundred Flowers in the distance. Here, you can not only enjoy the panoramic view of the city of Florence, but also a good place to take photos of the sunset. But Yunluo went back before the sunset.
The breakfast was the same as yesterday, including juice or coffee, bread and jam, some small cakes and snacks, and some fresh fruits. Although the breakfast was not rich, it could fully meet Yunluo's requirements. Two nights in Europe and two nights were also included, which was very good value. The train to Rome at 30 pm this afternoon, and we were discussing last night.
Chapter completed!
