20160109。阿姆斯特丹光藝節 Amsterdam Light Festival 2015-2016

IMG_5360.jpg

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.

20151219。安特衛普聖誕市集 Antwerpen Christmas Market

IMG_4587.jpg

逛了幾年的德國聖誕市集,今年心血來潮,決定去比利時的安特衛普逛聖誕市集。今年的聖誕氣氛多少有受到巴黎事件的影響,但過節的心情還是有的。這回碰巧遇到安特衛普市政府建築的450週年慶,順道在市集廣場上欣賞了段燈光秀,算是意外收穫。
[NL] Afgelopen jaren zijn we alleen bij Duitse kerstmarket geweest. Dit jaar gingen we naar Antwerpen om de Belgische kerstsfeer te genieten. Toen we bij de Grote Markt kwamen, wisten we pas dat er een feest is voor 450 jaar bestaat van het stadhuis van Antwerpen. Dus we zijn ook verrast door een lichtshow op het plein.

與琪莉和Candy兩家約在鹿特丹的川菜館“食為天”吃香喝辣,順道到新建的Markthal看看。這棟新穎且集辦公、住宅及室內市場為一體的建築遠近馳名,上過電視,許多人特地來這裡朝聖。我們小逛了一圈,就去兒童農場Kinderboerderij De Kooi走走,最後到琪莉家喝茶聊天,渡過了個精彩的星期天。

20150718。歐文隆戰爭博物館 Overloon War Museum

IMG_9384.jpg

來荷蘭這麽多年,我們多數是從國外給七月生日的婆婆祝賀生日。今年因選擇八月中旬才啟程,婆婆高興得很,決定來個一日遊慶生。選在週末,我們先到歐文隆參觀戰爭博物館。對於經歷過二戰洗禮的兩老,看到二戰的相片和錄影就不自覺地在對照記憶中的情境;對於年輕一代的我們來說就少了那份觸景傷情的感覺。從博物館出來,我們直奔提堡的美食時光Etenstijd享受豐富的晚餐。回到恩荷芬後,再到臨近的自然公園散步,為精彩的一天劃下句點。
Oma celebrates her birthday in July. This year, we’re not on board, so we’ve decided to have a family day by visiting Overloon War Museum and enjoying delicious buffet at Etenstijd in Tilburg.

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。

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.

IMG_2624.jpg

在慶祝元旦的當兒,我們到烏特勒支欣賞中國花燈(官方網頁:點此)。這些來自四川自貢的大型花燈,照亮了烏特勒支大學的植物園區,吸引了非常多民眾來遊園。看了許多朋友分享的照片,我也興致勃勃,於是約了家公家婆一起去賞燈,順便讓兩老近距離接觸下花燈文化。
Chinese people celebrate the Lantern Festival at the first full moon of a Chinese new year. China Light Utrecht is an Chinese light festival that has been organised at the Botanic Gardens in de Uithof/Utrecht University (Official website: click here).

【荷比德趴趴走】13-07。比利時納慕爾城堡 Citadel of Namur, Belgium

IMG_5678.jpg

來到這次荷比德趴趴走的最後一輯了。我們沿著默茲河從列日往納慕爾。納慕爾位於比利時中南部、布魯塞爾的東南部,是比利時法語區的首府,也是個歷史悠久的城鎮。納慕爾城堡盤踞在默茲河及其支流桑布爾河匯合處的山頭上,更是默茲河河流域上的重要軍事要塞。
The Citadel or Castle of Namur was the last stop of our trip with my classmate from Taiwan. Namur in French, or Namen in Dutch, is a city at southern Belgium, the capital of Wallonia. The Citadel of Namur is a fortress at the confluence of the Sambre and Meuse rivers and has held a strategic position in the heart of Europe.
