il Giardino Romantico

這是我2010年旅遊英國三周的最後一站 - 牛津。這一站有一位摯友相伴，讓我這次在英國旅遊的最後一站充滿了言語無法表達出的意義。在拜訪了劍橋之後，牛津似乎也就成為了必逛之地。兩者比起來，我比較喜歡牛津。不知道是不是因為造訪牛津時，那不太做美的天空，讓整座城市多了點灰暗，照射出我內心對於這塊土地不捨的心情。或許是因為這樣，比起烈陽高照下的劍橋，反而是牛津比較深得我心。

This was the last stop of my 2010 three-week travel in the UK. I had the pleasure of having a good friend as my company this time, adding a bit more melancholic delight to this last stop of mine. After seeing Cambridge, it became obviously that Oxford was also a must-visit. I think I prefer Oxford. I'm thinking it's because of the almost-grey cloud that gives it a sort of melancholic touch that makes it even more attractive than the sunny Cambridge I saw. 


這樣的天空似乎更能襯托出古老建築的味道。
The grey backdrop brings out the features of these old buildings even more.

其實在這裡停留的時間並沒有很久。雖說是一日遊，倒不如說是半日遊。回程的時候還因為看錯時間表，差點回不去。不過，旅程不就這樣嗎：所有發生的一切都是很難忘的！

The time spent here in Oxford was not long. A little less than a whole day, and a little more than half a day. On the way back, we almost missed the coach back! What an unforgettable experience! 



還好，有好吃食物的慰藉。最後還是順利地回到家了。

After a bite of food, we finally returned home.

天仙念：  英國遊記真的快寫完了。牛津的又灰又陰的天空，真的很貼切的形容著我當時不捨的心情！
