il Giardino Romantico

The best thing about traveling on your own, is the amount of freedom you have over everything. As I wasn't on any kind of schedule, and because I grew so fond of this little city, I was so reluctant to just walk back to the station and leave.  So I took the opportunity to take a walk around Parade Park, and here are some shots I took during my stroll.

獨自旅遊最大的優點就是無限的自由。這天我一點都沒有時間壓力。加上這一天下來我真的很捨不得這個可愛的小城市。因此用餐完之後還是不願離去。只好到公園裡去走走。以下就是在公園裡捕捉到的鏡頭。

I think this must be the most well-known and popular tourist attractions in Bath. Not surprisingly, it is also the most expensive of all tourist attractions here.  I must say, though, that it is completely worth it.  

這應該是巴斯最著名也最受歡迎的觀光景點了吧！他也是巴斯旅遊景點中門票最貴的一個點。因為大家都覺得：都來到這了，門票再貴，好像不進去就等於沒來到巴斯。不過我相信大家逛完之後，會覺得真的很值回票價的！

Like I said before, Bath Abbey isn't very big at all, and it doesn't take very long to see everything you need to see.  Even if you spend a lot of time just sitting there, absorbing its grandeur and historic atmosphere, you still won't need more than an hour.  The best thing for me, was the tower climb.  After Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral, this is my second climb up a church tower, but it might as well be my first, as this time, there is no elevator.

正如我之前所說，巴斯修道院其實不是很大。你不用花上太多時間就可以把所有該看的東西看完。即使你想要坐在裡面好好的吸收他的歷史氣息以及壯觀的氣氛，頂多也才花上一小時的時間。對我來說，巴斯修道院最有收穫的地方就是攀爬到頂樓。雖然有過利物浦英國國教教堂的經驗，但這次是實際的"攀爬"。因為這裡可沒有電梯呀！

Welcome to the world of Jane Austen. The thing I love most about English cities, is how you can always find literary traces in them.  In Stratford-upon-Avon, everything is about Shakespeare. In the Lake District, Wordsworth; Canterbury, Marlowe; and the list just goes on and on and on.  I don't visit every single one of these places.  Although I've always thought it important to learn bits and pieces about things that might not be of particular interest, I think having a bit of knowledge does help you absorb whatever it is you might learn from these visits.

歡迎來到Jane Austen的世界。英國大大小小的城市常常可尋文藝蹤跡。這點是我非常喜歡英國的原因之一。（當然還有三天兩夜都講不完的原因）例如，在Stratford-upon-Avon，所有事物都跟文豪莎士比亞有關。在湖區則是Wordsworth。坎特伯里則是Marlowe（浮士德作家）。不過我還是不會每個景點都看。雖然我一向覺得即使是自己不太感興趣的事物，多攝取一點知識總是有益無害。不過若是稍微略懂，更有助於吸收旅途中所見所聞的新知。

Bath Abbey, an Anglican parish church founded in the 7th century, is probably on the top of the list for many visitors to the UK, including mine.  The grandeur of its outside structure may not strike as a place of magnificence, but once you walk in, you must realise, that the air your breathing, has the scent of 'history'!

巴斯修道院教堂是七世紀建立的。來英國的旅客們應該大多數都會想要來這裡看看。外觀或許跟許多大規模教堂比起來遜色許多，不過當你走進去，你要知道那裡面的空氣，可是充滿了歷史的氣息！

Bath Station 巴斯車站

Bath is such a lovely place, I have yet to hear one complaint about it. It's easy to fall in love with this little place, and it is extremely difficult not to like it.
