il Giardino Romantico

這天早晨起來的第一件事情，就是期待著收留我的女主人親手做的愛心英式早餐。或許有人嫌他油膩。或許有人嫌它不好吃。你看那大家都討厭的豆子，英式早餐少了他卻又不能稱之為正宗的英式早餐。

A hearty homemade English breakfast. That was the first thing to expect that day after I opened my eyes. People think it's greasy, and some say it's barely edible. Many of my Taiwanese friends are disgusted by the baked beans, something that makes English breakfast what it is.

'Hello! Here I am again! Did you miss me?'

『哈囉！我又出現囉！有想我嗎？』

Yes. I do realised the start of this article is quite a contrast to the last one I posted. This last of the Tower of London Trilogy, contains the bits and pieces of the rest of the castle. To start off lightly, let's take a look at who London Paddington found during our trip here. 

是的！這篇跟上篇比起來實在是差很多！在這篇倫敦塔三部曲的最後一篇裡包含的就是剩餘的部分囉！其實沒有什麼特定的主題，也有點雜。不過首先，先來看看倫敦熊在這裡遇到了誰！

 01
"I am King Henry VIII" 『我是英國國王亨利八世』

This is the special exhibition that I had missed out on during my 2009 trip to London. At the time, I didn't think that I would have the chance to see it, even if I could come back to London. But I did. And I considered myself very fortunate. 

This is the place that I had left with regret during my 2009 trip to London. This time, to make sure it does not become a second-time regret, I made sure it was done during the beginning of the whole England itinerary. Although the weather wasn't as great as the last time round, at least I saw the grey sky that belonged rightfully to London. 

來到2009年離開前的遺珠之憾，倫敦之塔。這次把他排在所有其他重要行程前，就是為了不再讓他成為遺憾！雖然天氣不比上次佳，但其實我很慶幸，我終於看到屬於倫敦的灰暗天空了！

Welcome to the City of London, where there are surprises waiting for you around each tiny little corner. During the last visit to London, I visited and saw the major sites of tourist attraction - Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, London Eye, St. Paul's...etc... This time, I got to see the mirco-beauties of this wonderful city.

歡迎來到倫敦。這是一個每個角落都充滿了驚喜的城市。上次來到這裡我參觀也見到了許多重要的觀光景點：白金漢宮、西敏寺、倫敦眼、聖保羅等等。。。不過這次我看到了一些比較細膩的地方喔！

Marble Arch is located right across from Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park. Designed by John Nash in 1828, it was based on the Roman triumphal arch of Constantine. It was first erected elsewhere, and only moved to its current location in 1855. 

這座大理石拱門就位於海德公園的Speakers' Corner對面。由John Nash於1828年設計，是以羅馬康斯坦丁的勝利拱門為設計範本。最初的設立地點並不是現在的所在地，而是在1855年才搬來這裡的。

During my 2010 trip to the UK, I made sure that 80% of the places I went, were places I was visiting for the first time. The reason for that is because I wanted to see as much of England as I possibly could. So however much I longed to re-visit certain places, I had to make a choice. 

Don't I just love to stall! Okay, I promise that this is the start to my 2010 UK trip articles. Upon my return to Taiwan on October 5th, 2009, I was so devastated to leave. Then, in December of that same year, I was lucky enough to gain a chance to go back to the UK, only this time as a full-time tourist. Thanks to my many friends (and a teacher), I'd had such a splendid time traveling around places I have been and places I have not been! 

Thank you, friends, for making this second trip to the UK, yet another unforgetable memory in my life! 

One of the many important goals of this trip to the UK, was to watch the World Cup Final in a pub in England. I got extremely excited when I found out that I was, in fact, going to be in the UK to watch the final. Thus, one the the first things we did on my first day in the UK, was to find a pub to watch the exciting Netherlands v. Spain game.

這次來到英國，其中一項最重要的目的就是在英國當地的pub看世界盃冠軍賽。當我知道冠軍賽可以在英國看的時候，心情無比興奮！沒有什麼比在英國pub球賽還要更刺激了（除了到南非看現場的跟去西班牙看。。。）所以第一天的行程當然就安排要找一間pub來看這重要的比賽囉！

London. Here I come I again. But in fact, I had never left. What exciting adventures await! 

倫敦。我又來了！換個角度想，我未曾離開過。接下來的旅程，還會有什麼刺激等著我發掘呢？
