【蘇格蘭】Rosslyn Chapel @ il Giardino Romantico

【天仙提醒：本篇設有自動播放背景音樂】

Rosslyn Chapel was the reason why I went to Edinburgh. The journey was long, and the weather was absolutely freezing, but I was overjoyed to have finally made it here. Some of the pictures may be a little blury due to my trembling hands in the cold. You may not enjoy them as much as I enjoy them myself, but I hope that one day, you will all come and see this impressive building yourselves.

羅斯林教堂是我來愛丁堡的主要原因。雖然路程遙遠[指前一天從利物浦到愛丁堡]，天氣也爆冷的，但終於看到一直想親眼目睹的建築物之後，高興的什麼辛苦都忘了。以下有些照片會稍微有點模糊。因為天氣太冷手一直抖，而我還是依然捨不得開閃光。即使照片模糊，但希望大家有機會到愛丁堡，不仿花點時間來這看看。因為，真的很壯觀。

入口 Entrance

When we had finally arrived and the chapel was in sight, we were a little disappointed at how different it looked in reality than the way it was presented in the film adaptation of The Da Vinci Code. However, our minds were about to be overwhelmed as we tour the inside of the chapel.

當我們終於抵達，眼中也看到教堂時，看到它的相貌跟電影『達文西密碼』中的樣貌完全不同時事有點小失望。不過看到了內部，馬上又從失望便成了驚嘆！

The only regret was that the time we were there, photography was not allowed inside the chapel. Therefore, I could only take pictures of the exterior, and risk my life taking one or two pictures inside it.

不過可惜的是，內部因為整修的關係，不讓遊客拍照。所以這次只能跟大家分享外部的照片。有一兩張是冒著生命危險拍下來的。不過基本上都是外部的比較多。

In order to protect the chapel from the terrible weather, this canopy was built over it. The good thing is, there is a rail you around the roof, on which you could go up and see the top of the chapel. If I remember correctly, we were told that if we were to come in April 2009, this canopy would be removed and the building will be standing on its own.

上面的鐵皮屋簷是為了保護建築物不被雨水以及惡劣的天氣摧殘。好處在於，有個階梯可以上去繞屋頂一圈。如果我沒記錯的話，當時是聽到如果在2009年四月來參觀的話，那醜陋的鐵皮屋經會已被拆除。旅客就可以觀賞到整個建築物的原本風貌囉！

This is the crypt in the, film adaptation of The Da Vinci Code, where Robert Langdon and Sophie goes to find the alleged resting place of 'the grail'. There was no other room but this tiny little space. And not completely unexpectly, we were told that during the process of filming, the crew had left something in the crypt as they removed a prop they had stucked on for the movie.

這是在電影中『達文西密碼】湯姆漢克斯飾演的Robert Langdon帶著Sophie[奧戴利朵杜飾演]到地下室尋找『聖杯』的蛛絲馬跡的地方。不過我們下來之後發現，根本就沒什麼資料室。就是這麼簡單的一個小空間。據說，拍攝過程中，他們還在此留下了一個貼道具的『痕跡』。

Apologies for the blurriness of the picture. But you cannot imagine how cold we were at this point. There was no heat in the building and the outside was just as cold as the inside.

就是手晃。此時此刻，我們已經冷到不行了。室內沒有暖氣。所以室內跟室外一樣冷。所以難免會有手晃的照片出來獻醜囉。

This was taken on the rail.
這就是爬樓梯上去繞屋頂時拍到的。

This is Scotland...in the rain.
望眼看過去。這就是蘇格蘭。

The garden of the chapel. There was no sign of the 'pond' where Sophie attempted to 'walk on water'.
這是花園景象。不過我沒看到電影最後幾分鐘Sophie想試著踩在水上的那個池塘喔！
