巴塞隆納!我夢想中的城市!我終於來了!
從荷蘭搭飛機到巴塞隆納約2小時,在飛機上經過南法上空,看到了美麗的海灣,這次沒有機會去浪漫的巴黎和悠閒的南法,經過南法上空過過癮也好。
初抵巴塞隆納這座城市,我與同行的學姊都很驚訝,街景怎麼這麼像台灣!

旅遊每到一個地方都有該學習的功課,在旅途中學習如何安排旅遊行程、應付突發事件、與旅伴相處……等等,除此之外,在旅行的過程中,我也看見了歷史,並非從書中讀到,是真切的、踏實的從當初發生事件的歷史地點走過、看過、體會過。
克拉克夫,這個位於波蘭南部的城市,有著令世人無法忘卻的一段歷史—奧斯威辛集中營。我原本在書上學到的歷史不深刻,對於集中營的印象僅止於課本中的幾句描述,但來到奧斯威辛,經由6小時專業人員的講解、帶我們走過一間一間的小房間,無數無數個故事,當下,我試著盡量保持心境上的平靜,冷靜地拿起手機拍照,記錄下這一切—載運無數猶太人至奧斯威辛集中營的鐵路、寫著「勞動就是自由」的大門、數十人一間的寢室、幾百人共用的廁所、毒氣室、焚化屍體的爐子、數萬名受害者的頭髮做成的織品、遺留下來的鞋子與生活用品、當初設計焚化爐的設計稿、當時的紀錄片段……等等諸多記錄著對於屠殺猶太人的事實,在那6個小時不斷的重新輸入我對二戰歷史的感受。在參觀完集中營的感受都是傷悲、壓抑的,但這即是這個集中營留下來被後世參觀的意義,要讓後代子孫永遠記的這件歷史事件。
在第一號集中營參觀到最後,我們來到當初指揮奧斯威辛集中營的最高指揮官在戰後被判絞刑行刑的檯子,我在當下覺得很諷刺。在二戰期間,納粹使猶太人有罪,在二戰結束後,納粹則為他們使猶太人有罪而有罪。所幸在這麼多不幸的歷史當中,還有些人還是盡力的挽救猶太人的性命的,辛德勒先生身為納粹黨員,仍傾家蕩產救了一千多名猶太人、何鳳山先生不顧納粹的威脅,拚死也要幫猶太人蓋前往中國的簽證,讓他們可以逃到上海去避難,相信當時還有很多人幫助猶太人,這些人在亂世中尤為可貴。

來荷蘭如果在3月至5月剛好碰上鬱金香花期時,必不可不到庫肯霍夫花園觀賞鬱金香,真的是世界上最大的鬱金香花園!
走到哪看到哪都是鬱金香,各種各色的鬱金香,從照片上就驚為天人的漂亮了,
在現場看更是驚艷,恨不得每種花色、每個角度都拍張照,作紀念~
庫肯霍夫花園滿大的,占地32公頃,基本上可以逛個半天到一天,好好觀賞、體驗庫肯霍夫花園的美~

讚丹風車村,是另外一個除了小孩堤防外可以看風車的地點。
小孩堤防是一個非常又名的景點,但交通較難到達,因此選擇去阿姆斯特丹郊區的讚丹看風車。
交換學生時期結束後,有心情重拾畫筆,由於沒有去過小孩堤防,因此回台灣後畫一張留紀念。
讚丹風車村的風車跟小孩堤防的風車比起來較新,有整修過、看起來漂漂亮亮的,那裏還有觀光園區,
設有起士展示店、木屐製作過程展示、當然還有紀念品店,外頭還有小動物跟風車!

可能作為交換生,盡量能省則省,所以看到的小吃幾乎以油炸食物或甜鬆餅居多。
但在阿姆斯特丹主運河旁有家超級好吃的PANCAKE,我到阿姆斯特丹三次每次必吃就是這家PANCAKE。
就算一個人去阿姆斯特丹也必去吃這家PANCAKE。
而且我都吃起士蘑菇的鹹口味PANCAKE。

君主若是女王的話,則會女王日(Queen's day)
當週週末和前一天星期五晚上,各地會有演唱會,我記得我星期五參加恩村的演唱會,很有趣的是一群亞洲人在一群人荷蘭群眾當中真的看不到,大家都以為是有通道,所以都朝我們這區走過來,推擠,也是滿危險的,個子小的亞洲人(身高矮於170,並且身邊沒有超過180的朋友的話),還是不要輕易嘗試或找個安全的地方觀賞,安全第一。
第二天搭乘NS到首都阿姆斯特丹看看真正的國王節,首都阿姆斯特丹會是甚麼樣子,比平常人多、大家都穿戴橘色物品,代表荷蘭王室的顏色,路上還會有人幫你在臉上畫上橘色的圖案,氣氛滿好的!

在台灣久久才會去吃一次港式飲茶,從沒想過在荷蘭海牙可以吃到這麼好吃的港式飲茶!這家明朝我真的可以為了吃這家而從荷蘭最東邊殺到最西邊!
真的非常好吃又不太貴,總共去了兩次,兩次用餐道道美味道道驚喜!不踩雷,到底是我到了荷蘭標準降低了,還是在台灣沒吃到夠水準的港式料理><

應該是茉莉花茶
兩人點了四道菜,還有剩下打包帶走當點心當消夜

Edinburgh, a place that I will recommend for a family trip by renting a car to exploring the fantastic Scotland, is on the top five most beautiful cities in my mind. I spent totally 4 days there but the first day and the last day are not the complete because of the flight. We attended a costly but fabulous one-day-tour and a so-called free tour (but it was not free at all) to Scotland. It was a trade off because once we decided to join two day-tour to Scotland. At the meantime, we could not explore the city zone of Edinburgh that much.
By the way, the five most beautiful cities in my mind so far is Edinburgh, Barcelona, Český Krumlov( Czech republic), Reykjavík( Iceland) and Den Haag( the Netherlands). Back to Edinburgh, I would never forget the sunset there when I climbed up to Arthur Seat, which is a hill in the city of Edinburgh. From then on, I started to fall in love with the sunset and a thought come to my mind- the happiest thing is watching sunset (and kissing) with someone I love. That would be very romantic.
I visited Loch Ness, the famous tourist spot in Scotland and took many photos there. When first went on the van, the beautiful woman, our tourist guard and driver, told us “we were not going to explore highland, we would just took lots of beautiful pictures.” Now, I exactly understood what she meant then. We spent most of our time on the car. Moreover, when we arrived our destination, we just took photos: no hiking in the forest, no exploring the highland as well. It was a pity that we didn’t have a wake in the forest that I dream I could do in Scotland.
