向梦想出发!伦敦游记 - 1 (Dare to London - 1)


伦敦,大不列颠帝国的首都,曾经是那么不可一世的世界中心,是我向往的其中一个地方。如今趁着公干的机会,加上好朋友的照应下,胆粗粗的就从荷兰阿姆斯特丹飞了过来。之前搜索了少许资料,本以为火车会便宜,怎知道算来算去还是要我两百大欧元。还是我在荷兰的同事提点我坐飞机,时间短而价钱更便宜,才135欧元。我立即就订了机票,向梦想出发!

London, the capital city of United Kingdom and once upon a time was the centre of the world is always in my wish list to travel there. However due to the restriction it is not easy to enter UK. But this time I have taken the opportunity of my business trip to pay her a visit! Thanks to my buddy to offer me accommodation :) First I was thinking of taking train to London, but Eurostar is not cheap at that time. Furthermore, the trip will take longer time. My colleague in Amsterdam told me to look for the cheap flight ticket from Easyjet. I couldn't believe my eye when I saw the price - €135 return flight! Without hesitation I booked the flight and fly to my dreamland!

我成搭九点早上的班机,抵达伦敦Stansted机场时才九点十分(时差啦!)。我要帮我的一个同事找个地方落脚然后我们才四处去逛,所以我们先乘搭巴士到BakerStreet。由于之前工作繁忙,无暇找齐资料,就打算到最著名的景点看看,然后傍晚才去跟我的朋友回合。

I took the early flight at 9am, and when I reached London Stansted airport it was only 10 mins past. This is due to the 1 hour time different. The flight took about 1 hour and 10 mins. I need to get a hostel for my another colleague who joined me so we took the A6 bus to Baker street. I was quite busy working before this and did not have sufficient time to survey around. So my first destination in London was to the famous British Museum, then only meet up with my buddy at night.

第一站就是世界闻名的大英博物院!乘搭伦敦地下铁到Russell Square出来走一段路就可以看到了。这博物馆真的让我大开眼界!

I took the Underground to Russell Square station, just a short distance I found the British Museum. It was really amazing visit!

After that I took the Underground to Liverpool Street, and took train to my buddy's place.
We have a long chat at that night! We will meet up with another good friend tomorrow! Yeahhhh
大约光了两个多小时,我就去找我的好友了,得知另外一个好友也在伦敦,大家就决定明日一起逛!异地重逢实在是太开心了。
