Gccq & Conanzy (2009.02.19-20) @ Florence, Italy
坐上超级舒适的特快火车“欧洲之星”,我们抵达了这次旅行的第二站佛罗伦萨。我们在佛罗伦萨的第一站就是去了”The Mall”,是佛罗伦萨周边最大的一个折扣店,超级超级好啊!我在里面流连忘返……周围环境也超好,我们坐着大巴士穿越了很多漂亮的山谷,才到了这个可爱的地方。
By train, the intercity express - Eurostar, we arrived at our second destination Florence. We went to the biggest outlet in Florence. I love this loveable place
It awakened my enthusiasm and gave me a lift to my intertwined body and soul.

由绿色、白色、红色的大理石建造的Duomo大教堂,也很漂亮雄伟。它的正式名字超级长啊,”Cattedrale di Santa Mria del Fiore”. 另外,这个大教堂在1294年由阿诺尔夫·蒂坎比奥设计,并与同时期开始建造,但是历时150年才完工。
This main church
e of green, white, red marble is called “Duomo”, which is also quite splendid. Its formal name is “Cattedrale di Santa Mria del Fiore”, Additionally, it was designed by Anolfo di Cambio in 1294 and began to be built then, but it lasted 150 years to finish constructing this huge church.

教堂有个闪耀的金门。
This church has a flashy golden door…..

教堂边上的钟楼也很巧夺天工的样子,有82米高。
The “camlanile” nearby church is quite brilliant, and it is 82 meters tall.

圣经里面好人都要和绵羊在一起的!所以教堂门上也有绵羊:P
In Bible, all the good guys stay with sheep, so, in church, there r lots of sheep :P

高高的八角形的穹顶上面绘满了由瓦萨利和祖卡里所绘的漂亮的宗教绘画。这个Duomo是古代第一个八角形穹顶教堂呢。
The very lofty octagonal dome is full of the beautiful religious painting. This Duomo is the 1st church to use the octagonal dome in the ancient time.

路边,满是卖这种美丽面具的小摊(当然还有好多小摊卖假路易·威登和假古琦)。恰逢威尼斯有狂欢节,大家都会带着这种面具参加狂欢节的。我和我GG不喜欢凑热闹,就没有去威尼斯。
In Italy, in the roadside, there r millions of stalls which sell these delicate masks ( and fake Louis Vuitton and fake GUCCI handbags
). When we visited Italy, there was Carnival in Venice, and people would wear these masks to join the parade. My husband and I dislike too crowded place, so didn’t go there.

在意大利,一定不要忘记吃意大利最著名的点心“提拉米苏”,真的是太好吃了!我在国内好些很好的酒店都吃过提拉米苏,但是,真的是这里的提拉米苏,让人觉得齿颊留香,欲罢不能,口口都让人无法忘怀:P
In Italy, pls don’t foget to have the most famous Italian dessert “Tiramisu”. I can’t describe how delicious it is
I had lots of Tiramisu in 5 or 4 star hotels in CN, but I’ve never had this goluptious Tiramisu at all
It is amazingly nice

Tips:
1,买天票划算;
2,去Outlet是3欧元往返,记得问好坐返程车的时间、具体地点,免得白等;去程是从中央火车站后面的一个不起眼的院子里面买票,然后去的时候就要买好返程票,因为回来的时候人家不卖票。
3,在意大利、法国、德国,都是如果你买了票,那是不算数的,你还要打票,也就是车票validation了。如果你没有Validate你的票,如果被警察叔叔抓到,你还是逃票了!因为你以后还能用这个票……
4,在餐馆吃饭,在咖啡店喝咖啡,如果人家给你提供服务了,端过来东西,态度还不差,是要给小费的,一般10-15%
