帶著女兒遊歐洲(12):斜塔美容•賭城銷魂•錯失裸體海灘

(2013-09-28 17:50:15) 下一個

們一大早來到了比薩斜塔(Torre di Pisa),這座位於奇跡廣場上的獨立式鍾樓。出生於比薩城的伽利略,曾在斜塔上做自由落體實驗,由此發現了自由落體定律。

廣場的草坪上散布著一組宗教建築:大教堂、洗禮堂與斜塔。

對比兒子的斜塔與女兒的斜塔,你能看出有什麽不同嗎?

斜塔不那麽斜了,而且大理石變白了。由於斜塔的傾斜度過於危險,從199017日起停止向遊人開放,經過整整11年的修繕,斜塔被扶正了44厘米,自20011215日起再次向遊人開放。

斜塔的傾斜度得到了恢複,於是比薩人再接再厲,組成10人修複小組,用激光、鑿子等清洗塔身。美容工作進行了8年多,24424塊大理石煥然一新,廣場上的建築恢複了昔日的風采。

在比薩斜塔旁照相,許多人假裝扶正斜塔。對準兩隻手,又要做出使勁的樣子,難度還真不小呐。女兒試了好幾張照片,總是做不對頭,不過這也算是斜塔之樂吧。

奇跡廣場上有一片青草地,邊上還有許多出售紀念品的小店,店主用中文叫賣著他們的產品。

然後經過意大利黃金海岸線,我們來到了下一站:摩納哥。這是世界上第二小的國家,位於歐洲地中海之濱,三麵皆被法國包圍。蒙特卡羅是摩納哥最大的城市,也是世界著名的三大賭城之一。知道另外兩家賭城嗎?美國的城拉斯維加斯與中國的澳門

摩納哥是一個迷人的國家,亞熱帶的地中海氣候,陽光燦爛,氣溫適宜。七百餘年曆史的古老皇室,格蕾絲王妃的傳奇經曆,都為這個小國增添了神秘的色彩。

從停車場一出來,就看見了地中海,於是跟著眾人一起往上走。

爬上轉了幾個彎的階梯。

我們看到了蒙地卡羅的全景。

蒙地卡羅的賭場富麗堂皇,建於1863年,是一幢古色古香、巍峨的宮殿式建築物,門前有一大片花圃廣場,還有反射蔚藍天色的圓鏡。

賭場前麵的熱帶植物園也別具特色。

當然蒙地卡羅最迷人的還是那片海,那片蔚藍色的、攝人心魂的大海。直立的峭壁、靚麗的遊艇,以及停泊在港灣裏的大遊輪,讓人沉醉於雲裏霧裏,輕飄飄的,像是漫步於一副美麗的長卷。一點點展開,每一縷光線都是銷魂的色,每一片色彩都是迷幻的空。

噢,太多的美景,貪婪地捕捉著,將美麗裝進照相機。

知道這兩尊雕塑叫什麽?亞當和夏娃。

快樂的時光總是短暫的,我們又要走了,沿著法國黃金海岸線走了。

路上在香水城停留,參觀了香水的製作過程。

傍晚的時候我們來到尼斯,本來要去裸露上身的海灘開眼,沒有預料碰到自行車比賽,四周的道路都被警察封住了,最後隻能帶著遺憾離開了尼斯。

­­­­女兒日記

17 day trip – day 13 (transit day)

Pisa: three out of five

Today, I briefly stopped at Pisa to see the leaning tower of Pisa. In most pictures, you can't see how the tower really leans, but it's obvious once up close. I took a lot of pictures there, mostly involving me pushing the tower. In one picture, one another tourist is pushing the tower over and I'm pushing it back up.

Monte Carlo: two out of five

Monte Carlo is in the country of Monaco, which is very small. It's very famous for its casino, but I can't go in it because I'm too young. Monaco is very beautiful. It's built on a mountain overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Hotel: one out of five

This hotel is terrible. It's very small and the employees don't seem to even know the proper pool-opening time. Also, the toilet and sink are in different rooms.
