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。
Everytime when I saw parachute jumping, I would have an idea to try it myself. Last year, I got a surprise from my family for a tandemjump at Texel. This weekend, we arranged a 2D1N trip to Texel and made my dream come true. Continue reading
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.

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). I have been attracted by the photos of many friends, and decided to visit this festival with Bart and his parents during this new year holiday. This is also a good chance to let them learn more about Chinese tradition and culture.

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.

星期天，也就是帶著小羲趴趴走的最後一天，我們早晨從阿亨出發，先到鄰近的荷比德三國交界點，然後沿著默茲河往布魯塞爾。途中在列日附近的船閘休息、看貨船經過船閘，再到納慕爾堡壘賞景、用午餐。
Sunday morning, we departed from Aachen to Brussels. On the way, we visited the tripoint of NL/BE/DE, the sluis of Maas River nearby Tihange, Liege and the Castle of Namur.

我們在繞著阿亨大教堂逛了一圈後，就開始逐家逐戶地就找德國豬腳。當然，最後不是所望，吃到超讚的豬腳，飯後還賞了一大圈夜景，才會酒店休息。
When the night came, beside enjoying the beauty of the city, we started to look for typical Germans cuisine, Schweinshaxe or roasted ham hock.

離開科隆後，我們直奔阿亨，並在這裡過夜。同時選擇科隆和阿亨為這次小旅行的目的地，只要是想把兩座迥然不同的大教堂介紹給小羲。
After visiting Kölner Dom at Cologne, we went to Aachen. We’ve selected these two cities with a main purpose: showing two totally different doms to our friends.
