一年一度的阿姆斯特丹光藝節又來了。今年的主題是“友誼”，跟往年一樣，有兩條路線：Water Colors和Illuminade。Water Colors為遊船路線，沿著運河佈置的光藝作品，較大型，有的需要坐船遊運河才能欣賞到精華。Illuminade為步行區，很集中，但展期較短。因為兩年都沒做到遊船，這次趁Groupon上有賣Amsterdam Boart Experience船票，兩人90分鐘，只需39歐元，而且能網路上定位，於是洋洋灑灑地買票定位，出發前才發現Illuminade的展期已經結束了。但沒關係，既來之則安之，隨緣吧！
[NL] Het is alweer het Amterdam Light Festival en het thema van de editie 2015-2016 is “friendship”. Zoals andere edities, er zijn twee routes om het festival te genieten: Water Colors en Illuminade. Water Colors is een vaarroute, waar de befaamde 17de-eeuwse grachten het decor vormt en die het best per boot te bekijken is, en Illuminade is een wandelroute, waar ruim 20 lichtkunstwerken in de cultuurrijke Weesper- en Plantagebuurt tonen. Voorheen zijn we al twee keer bij het festival geweest en hadden we de rondvaartboottocht nog niet gehad. Deze keer hebben we de tickets via Groupon gekocht en meteen een reservering gedaan bij Amsterdam Boart Experience. Voor het vertrek naar Amsterdam, wisten we pas dat Illuminade al voorbij is. Maar goed, we hebben toch een mooie rondvaart gehaald en een gezellige avond in Amsterdam.
[EN] It’s the Amsterdam Light Festival again. The theme of the edition 2015-2016 is “friendship”. There are two main routes to enjoy the beautiful sceneries of Amsterdam during this festival: Water Colors (boat route) and Illuminade (walking route). We missed the boat experience by last two editions, so this time we visited this festival again with a main purpose: take the canal cruise. We bought the ticket via Groupon and booked our boat tour by Amsterdam Boart Experience. Although the Illuminade route is ended already, we still have a wonderful evening in Amsterdam with the 90 minutes boat tour and a short walking along the canals.
正在尋找我們遊船的出發點，就先遇到這個點“今天我愛你”，那明天呢？
Looking for the departure place of our boat tour, then we met this “Today I love you”, so how about tomorrow?
