【Barcelona】20150415。聖十字聖保羅醫院 Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau

IMG_4717.jpg

興建於1901年至1930年間,由加泰隆尼亞現代主義建築師路易·多梅內克·蒙塔內爾(Lluís Domènech i Montaner)設計的聖十字聖保羅醫院是我們在巴塞羅納參觀的第一個旅遊景點。聖保羅醫院是巴塞羅納聖十字醫院之一,這在二十世紀建立的新院區,以出資的銀行家Pau Gil命名。這是世界文化遺產之一,直至2009年6月才結束它醫院的角色。經過四年的整修,如今是博物館及文化中心,部分建築亦出租給國際非營利組織。
Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (English: Hospital of the Holy Cross and Saint Paul) was the first tourist place that we have visited in Barcelona. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, built between 1901 and 1930, and designed by Catalan modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. It’s one of the Hospital of the Holy Cross in Barcelona and Saint Paul was added in honour of the banker, Pau Gil, who paid the new buildings in the 20th century. Until June 2009, it was a fully funcitioning hospital. After restoration for 4 years, it’s open again to public as a museum and cultural center.

IMG_5527.jpg

每當看到別人跳傘,都會跟巴特唸唸,說要是我也能跳一次、體驗下跳傘的感覺,那該有多好。於是,去年生日收到了巴特和家人合送的驚喜禮物--雙人高空跳傘。我們挑了五月底的週末,到Texel來個兩天一夜遊,目的就是兌現這份期待已久的夢想。

意大利快餐 Happy Italy in Eindhoven

IMG_1358.jpg

在恩荷芬的市中心,開了家意大利快餐Happy Italy(官網連結)。在朋友的推薦下,我們去過好幾次,挺滿意的,尤其是它的沙拉,意大利麵和批薩,份量大且便宜,上餐速度快,吃不完還能帶走,唯一的缺點是常常要排隊等位子。
Since the opening of Happy Italy (website) in Eindhoven, we have visited this Italian fastfood restaurant for several times. Their food is delicious and cheap. No matter you order salads, pasta or pizza, you can expect a large portion that you, mostly, cannot finish in once. So, they also provide Happy Bag for you to take away your food. To visit this restaurant, you may need to have patient to queue for a seat, but once you get a seat, you will be served immediately like their slogan “The Fast Italian”.

20150215。魯爾蒙德一日遊 Roermond

IMG_3250.jpg

巴特這幾年在家最大的愛好就是玩飛行模擬,趁Roermond的Flitesim(官方網頁)有半價優惠,就買了一個小時讓他去試飛Airbus320。去Roermond的那天,正好是嘉年華時節,城裡狂歡氣氛濃烈,辦完正事,就在城區小逛一圈,再到Outlet走走,就結束了短短的一日遊。
Playing flight simulator game at PC is Bart’s hobby for few years already. It’s time for him to fly an Airbus320 with real simulator. Flitesim at Roermond (official website) offered a special price at Social Deal, and we bought a ticket for an hour to try for the first time. When we were in Roermond, it was carnaval festival. Beside visiting Flitesim, we had a short walk in the city area and, of course, to the famous Roermond Outlet.

【China。七彩雲南】20140729。德欽飛來寺之星空 Starry Sky at Feilai Temple, Deqin

IMG_3880.jpg

餵飽五臟廟、從餐廳出來,路上黑麻麻的一片,但抬頭一看,竟是一片漂亮的星空。在光害嚴重的城市生活久了,看到星空是興奮無比的事。跟巴特爬到酒店的屋頂,用手上僅有的小腳架和大光圈鏡頭,開始摸索怎麽拍星空。這系列處女作,就是盲目地用手動拍下來的。因為拍不出壯觀的feel來,小試了會就變成純賞景了。那現場的感受真的難以形容,也該說是這輩子難得有緣這麽接近銀河和星空,此次的旅行真的無憾了!
On the way back to our hotel after dinner, we saw the wonderful starry sky in dark. As human being who live in city with a lot of light pollutions, we were so excited to watch the stars and to feel the loneliness in the Milky Way.
