How many of you have ever heard of High Wycombe (pronounced 'wickem')? And how many of you have ever visited High Wycombe? How many of you will ever visit High Wycombe? One of the biggest highlights of my 2010 trip to the UK was that it was filled with trips to places that are not exactly tourist hot-spots. Even though I had local guides for escorts, still, I think I just elevated from being a tourist to a traveller.
你們有多少人聽過海維康這地方啊?有多少人曾經來過?又有多少人會真的想來這裡?其實2010英國行與之前的旅程最大的不同點就是我這次去的許多地方都不是所謂的觀光勝地。雖然都有稱職的當地導遊帶路,但我還是很陶醉地告訴自己,我從觀光客升級成旅遊者了!
This is a little picnic my friend and I decided to put together. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing, so we kinda just grabbed whatever looked salivating at Sainsbury's and voila!
這是我與友人準備的小野餐。因為是臨時起意的,所以就在超市看到什麼好吃的就拿什麼。沒有想太多。
Fresh veggies for sandwiches. 三明治用的生菜
Fresh strawberries 新鮮草莓
In clotted cream 這是一種濃縮奶油(不是煉乳,這取代普通的cream搭配scone也超好吃的!)

Pity they were shy, and didn't come out to play...
可惜它們不賞臉~
High Wycombe is not far from down town London. I'm not sure if it's worth a trip if you don't have a local friend, but I'm sure glad I got to know this little place myself!
海維康離倫敦不會太遠。只是我也不知道如果沒有當地的朋友帶領,到底值不值得來呢?不過我很高興我有機會認識這個小地方。
No. I didn't have a pint here. Believe it or not...
我真的沒進去... (這是一間pub... )
檢視較大的地圖
天仙念:因為友人路熟,也有車子代步。所以若有興趣來這遊玩,我也不知道公車方面到底便不便利... 只知道公車班次少,最後一班也很早。所以盡早了解交通狀況才不會落得沒車回家喔!
