經過了一兩周的台灣食記轟炸,我想大家看食物應該看的也累了!所以我們再來把焦點轉移到英國吧!由於我是英國台灣這樣穿插的再貼文,在這裡我想我必須再次提醒讀者們,其實這次是我第二次造訪坎特伯里。第一次來的時候,花了許多時間參訪博物館以及大教堂。整個時間被占去因此有許多其他的事物都來不及嘗試。既然有機會能夠再來第二次,我就想說要嘗試一些第一次來的時候無緣參與到的事物囉!這個河上導覽就是其中之一。

After a few weeks of Taiwan food articles, I'm sure you're getting a bit sick and tired of looking at food, food, and not thing but food articles. So here we are again, back in the UK. Since I'm sort of overlapping Taiwan and UK articles, I feel obliged to remind you again that this was my second time to Canterbury. The first time round, I took a lot of time in museums and the cathedral itself. Because time was a valuable asset, I had to be selective of what I did. Since I was lucky enough to come back for a second visit, I decided to try things that I did not try the first time round. This river tour, was one of them.

在坎特伯里的High Street上就會看到有人在拉客人。放心!他們是做正當行業的,而且如果你只是想要了解,也不用害怕先詢問詳情以及價錢。這裡不像亞州地區的拉客方式這麼強勢。如果你決定要搭乘,其實搭乘地點就在這個餐廳的後方。不過你可別大剌剌的從這個門走進去啊!這大門是給用餐的人進去的!

On the High Street of Canterbury, you'll see people shouting out to tourist luring them to do the boat tour. If you want to know a bit more before you decide, don't feel intimidated, approach them and enquire all you want. It's not like in some Asian countries where they would be really aggressive when you approach them, then get really offended when you decide to leave. If you decide to do the boat tour, the place to board is actually the back of this restaurant. However, don't just walk into the front entrance! That entrance is reserved for people who are dining at the restaurant!

你會被帶到隔壁的小巷子。這裡會有通道可以到後花園。

You will be shown a way through an alley, where you can then get to the back garden of the restaurant.

整個導覽感覺非常輕鬆。如果雙腳逛累了,可以來點比較軟性的殺時間法~ 也不錯喲!

It was a very relaxing tour. If you feel like taking it easy, it's a nice way of killing some time (softly).

天仙念:我能夠去第二次,其實也是因為我朋友剛好還在。不過是過一年半,他也遷移到別的國家去了,不知道會不會有第三次造訪機會。如果還有機會,就去這間餐廳用餐看看吧!
