Chapter 1486 Today's Love



The fourth of the three cathedrals is the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Most churches are majestic and magnificent, but few are as charming as the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Yun Luo hates being a traveler in a hurry, unable to stop and savor Florence carefully. Goodbye! Goodbye, okay?

A Japanese named Hayao Miyazaki visited this place. When he stood in the Tiber Valley and looked up at the top of the mountain, the misty town loomed like a floating castle. The dynamic and dreamy scene shocked the animation producer greatly, and inspired him to create. In 1945, Hayao Miyazaki released "Castle in the Sky", in which the girl Sheeta and the boy Vance were pure and kind.

The touching story deeply moved the audience, and people began to pay attention to the real Laputa, and the "Castle in the Sky" gradually became synonymous with Civita di Bagnoregio. The mystery of the ancient city of Civita di Bagnoregio is that when you look for it, you can never see it; but when you find it, it suddenly appears in front of you, and stands majestically on the endless plateau.

Yunluo also stopped here. However, Yunluo really likes "Castle in the Sky" so much that he doesn't want the real Laputa to appear so roughly in his travel notes, so he stole a few pictures to comfort his still unsettled heart (the pictures were stolen from "Qiqi Xiaoguliang" on the Qiongyou forum). Goodbye, the lonely island in my dream! The smallest city-state & the largest church.

Please allow Yunluo to take a selfie while waiting in line at the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica. Most of the tourists in the Vatican come here for the world's first St. Peter's Basilica. The Egyptian obelisk towering in the square is Michelangelo's sculpture "Lamentation over Christ"/"Pietà" when he was 18 years old. The grief and sorrow of the Virgin Mary holding her dead son.

The sense of obedience to God's will is vividly portrayed in the work. He engraved his own name and the name of his beloved hometown in Latin capital letters on the ribbon on the Virgin's chest, saying: "By Michelangelo Buonarroti of Florence", which is also the only signed work among the countless art treasures he created in his life.

Raphael's last work, The Apparition of Christ. However, he died at the age of 18 years old after completing only the first half of the painting. The second half of the painting was completed by his students. Yun Luo will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

(Matthew chapter) Under the church, everything is so small, the bronze canopy & St. Peter's throne Royal Guards, Pope's "bodyguards", and the loyal Swiss mercenaries mentioned before at the Lion Monument in Lucerne. They are wearing ancient knight costumes with red, yellow and blue stripes designed by Michelangelo.

Holding a halberd. Majestic. Passing by the beautiful Tiber River, we arrived at the Castel Sant'Angelo and the Ponte degli Angeli, which are only a few hundred meters away from the Vatican. Rome streets, Rome food stalls, Rome roasted chestnuts, long-legged Oppa by the Piazza Navona. Wow, the Trevi Fountain that Yunluo was so optimistic about responded to Yunluo with the appearance of a "construction site"?

Well. I heard that it will be completed by the end of the year, and those who go there later will have a treat! The century-old ice cream shop next to the Trevi Fountain is delicious and inexpensive, wow haha! I heard that Italian ice cream and Spanish Square are more suitable! This is what I imagined. However, the reality is like this, for the sake of Daniel Craig, the male god of Yunluo.

Yunluo endured the Pantheon. Playing musical instruments is a highlight to attract the opposite sex. OMG Yunluo can only whistle. Piazza Venezia, located in the central transportation area of ​​Rome, is nicknamed "wedding cake" and "typewriter". Capitoline Square and Rome City Hall. When I saw the steps, I thought of Piazza di Spagna, and my heart was upset. The Trevi Fountain was renovated.

The Spanish Square is being renovated, and the Colosseum is also being renovated. How long will it take? Even though I have seen countless photos of the Colosseum before, I was still deeply shocked when I really approached it. It is the most perfect combination of wisdom and civilization and barbarity in the history of human development. How many bloody and tragic stories are buried in the broken walls? In the scattered time and space.

How much loneliness and vicissitudes are involved? The promised "Roman Holiday" has become a "Rome Rampage" in a hurry. Under the dim street lights, Yunluo suddenly remembered the last affectionate look between Princess Anne and Joe. The princess had thousands of words in her heart, but in the end, she only said a gentle "goodbye". I believe that everyone who has been here will sigh "I love Rome the most".

The same goes for Yunluo. Although it is not my "favorite", I must admit that half a day in Rome is eternal. With the unspent cash, I collected four small stamps, did not make the headlines, and did not lose anything. Yunluo returned gloriously. After returning, I read many excellent travel notes and beautiful photos.

Yunluo was torn for a long time whether to write or not. If he wrote, he was worried that he was not knowledgeable enough; if he didn't write, he was worried that he would forget some details in the future. Because he was traveling with a tour group, many things had already been arranged. Therefore, this travel note did not have any practical significance like a guidebook, but was purely a diary-style "writing about pictures".

I hope you will bear with me and forgive me for being a newbie. Thank you to my new friends for taking care of me. Like you, I will always remember this precious memory. In fact, there are too many regrets along the way. I didn't walk along the Seine River like the locals, and I didn't climb the Eiffel Tower to overlook Paris.

I didn’t find the “Wall of Love” on Montmartre, nor did I climb the bell tower of Notre Dame to look for traces of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I didn’t hike up the Jungfrau, nor did I ride a bicycle to experience a different Interlaken. I didn’t have time to see the Lion Monument in Lucerne, nor did I go down the stairs by Lake Zug to explore the bottom of the lake. I didn’t stand on the Marienbrücke to see the most beautiful Neuschwanstein Castle.

I didn’t walk on a few more bridges in Venice, each with its own story. I didn’t stop to savor Florence, I didn’t walk through the narrow path to touch the “Sky City”. I didn’t sit on the Spanish Steps in Rome to imitate others, and I didn’t express my admiration for J’s Baku flight attendant. I hope that these lists can be made up one by one in the near future.

The noble sublimation of "changing the world view" did not discover the different self from the beginning, just to stop being amazed at the places in the world that someone yearns for. The scenery along the way, the people and things met, and the free and comfortable mood were all frozen in that unrepeatable and moving time. After coming back, I will work hard for a better next time.

We had to choose Germany as our first stop because someone in our group needed a visa, so we had to choose Germany, which is the easiest country to get a visa from, as our first destination and the country where we would stay the longest. My knowledge of Germany was limited to beer and football before I went there, and my friends who were traveling with me also knew very little about Germany except for TIA.

Fortunately, Yunluo had the habit of doing homework before traveling, and found out that Bavaria in Germany has the richest tourism resources. In addition to being the venue for the annual beer festival, it also has the famous Neuschwanstein Castle, the King's Lake, which is very famous in China, the headquarters of Bayern Munich, the headquarters of BMW, etc. Munich is the capital of the state.

The first place to bear the brunt became the base camp for Yunluo and An Chuyu's travel in Germany. The itinerary was to arrive in Munich on the first day, tour Munich on the second day, visit Neuschwanstein Castle on the third day, and visit Lake Königssee on the fourth day. However, plans cannot keep up with changes. First, Yunluo overestimated his friends' physical strength. Second, Yunluo ate too much sweets a few days before departure.

I caught a cold on the first day of the trip, so Yunluo and Anchuyu's indoor tour in Munich was divided into two days, and the other day was to go to Neuschwanstein Castle. We arrived in Munich on the evening of the 18th, and the first thing we did was to take the subway to the city. The subway in Germany is much better than I thought (maybe because I have seen the dirtiest subway in France).

There were no insane people or people behaving strangely. Two hours later, they arrived at Munich Central Station. (For subway information, please refer to the practical guide at the end of the article.) The hotel where Yunluo and An Chu met was not far from the train station. It was only a 5-minute walk from Google Maps. But there were too many subway exits at the central train station.

The GPS on the phone broke down for no reason and stopped working. Yunluo and An Chuyu were at a loss when trying to find the exit and the way. Fortunately, they finally found the direction based on the landmarks. On the way to the hotel, Yunluo and An Chuyu passed by the red light district in Germany and saw several strip clubs, which refreshed their impression of Germans.

Besides, there were all kinds of Turkish and Chinese food. Although it was almost nine o'clock, Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to go out for food after checking in. After walking around the train station, Yunluo and An Chuyu still didn't quite understand the route because it was too big. They had to walk on the ground every time to find their way back.

It's not that Yunluo and Anchuyu are stupid, it's because it was too dark. We couldn't see the way home clearly, haha. We bought a hot dog at a convenience store that can be found everywhere at the train station. German grilled sausages are world-famous. It was the first time I ate them in Germany. Here's a picture to commemorate it. The bread was a crusty baguette, which was just what Yunluo liked. We also bought an apple for 10 euros and an orange for 10 euros (you can refer to the prices in Germany).

I returned to the hotel with great satisfaction. I will combine Yunluo's two-day tour into one, because the first day's city tour was a general tour. I bought a day ticket and took the subway, passing many places. The third day's city tour was a walk, and the route was repeated. I recommend that those with good legs and feet can combine Yunluo's route into one day.

Starting point: Central Railway Station - go east - arrive at Karlstor, start city tour. It is not difficult to visit the attractions in Munich, because they are very concentrated. After passing through Karlstor, you can see Munich's bustling commercial streets and the churches interspersed among them. Yunluo and Anchu met when they were about to walk directly to the Church of Our Lady.

Wandering in the shops on the street. Passing by a church, Googlemap shows that it is a bishop's church. There are many biographical books about the bishop for sale. The sculptures on the first floor tell the story of the crucifixion of Jesus. On the second floor, Yunluo and An Chuyu happened to see the bishop instructing the believers and reading scriptures. They took a photo and found out that it was closed to visitors...

Carrying the spoils from shopping in the commercial street, taking photos with the wild boar standing on the street for some reason, Jie actually said that Yunluo was stupid. Hum, the Church of Our Lady (Marien Church) was actually visited on the third day, because Yunluo came out of the subway station on the first day when he and An first met, and the building he saw was so gorgeous that he mistook it for a church. Later he found out that it was the new city hall...

On the third day, we finally arrived at the church. We could see two onion-shaped towers from a distance, but when we got closer, we found that the main building was plain and unpretentious. The ceiling inside the church was extremely high and solemn. The surrounding mosaic glass also reached the top of the building. It was hard to imagine how people in the past could have built it so high. Yunluo stepped on the footprints of the devil.

Legend has it that the devil entered this church, but was trapped in it due to the church's peculiar layout, so you can hear the devil roaring in the dead of night. There is a beer house outside the church. The New Town Hall + Old Town Hall is actually the first stop Yunluo and Anchu encountered in Munich. You can take the subway from the train station to Marienplatz Station for three stops and you can see it.

It's a short walk from Karl Gate along the commercial street through the Church of Our Lady. People from all over the world gather here every day, with different behaviors, so Yunluo captured many wonderful people photos. In addition, the puppets on the bell tower of the town hall dance every hour. This puppet dance is the fourth largest puppet dance in Europe. Don't miss it.

The sculptures in the city hall are super complicated and have an asymmetrical beauty. For Yunluo who likes complicated styles, it suits Yunluo's taste very well. Can you tell what this is used for? In fact, it is a drain, and the drains above are all sculpted into different shapes. This big dragon is so vivid. The old lady next to the fountain is enjoying the sunshine very much. Non-mainstream in Germany.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The east side of the new town hall is the old town hall. It is in medieval style and has a doll museum. I didn't go to the crazy Germans because of time. It was Saturday that day, and I happened to catch the weekly market of Viktualien Market. As a person, it is an important way to German market culture. It is a must-see. This kid is super funny.

He inadvertently stood at the vent, his shawl fluttering in the wind, and he wouldn't move no matter how his mother pulled him. I guess he was fascinated by the Superman look. At first I thought it was a weather vane, and later I saw a similar-shaped building in Neuschwanstein Castle, and discovered that it was a disguised billboard, indicating the different types of shops and amusement facilities in the market.

German pastry shops always make a big cake first, and then cut a corner when someone wants to buy it. This is very different from the French desserts that are cut in advance. Walking back to the direction of the city hall (north), I came across another church. I have seen many British Gothic churches, and this is the first time I have seen a Baroque church. The decoration inside made Yunluo's eyes light up.

On the way to Munich Palace, we passed a square with flowers planted on the roadside, full of the breath of spring. Yunluo made a mistake during the visit to Munich Palace, because on the first day, he walked directly to the Concert Hall Square and turned right into the Palace Garden, which was actually the back door of the Palace. Because the door was not open, Yunluo thought it was not open that day.

That night, I returned to the hotel. I checked the opening hours of the palace and found that it was open every day. Because of the spirit of not admitting defeat, Yunluo came here again on the third day. I entered the palace from the main gate and started to browse. The palace includes several types of tickets. I remember that the ticket for the palace is Euro, and there are also Treasure Hall, Palace + Treasure Hall, Palace + Treasure Hall + Concert Hall.

It is said that the concert hall is very famous. I really wanted to go there, but I had to buy a combined ticket with the Treasure Hall, so Yunluo only bought a ticket for the palace, which included a guide. Although the guide did not have Chinese explanations, the content was super rich. Almost every one of the nearly 100 exhibition halls in the palace had explanations. Because I was in a hurry, Yunluo only listened to the highlights.

Otherwise, you can stay here for a whole day without any problem. I like the two halls at the bottom the most, which are magnificent and complicated. The next step after the Concert Hall Square is the garden tour. First, the Royal Palace Garden, where my friends took a lot of photos, and then continue to walk north, which is the huge English Garden, where the Chinese Tower is the most famous.

That was also the final destination of Yunluo and An Chuyu. It was expected to be very good, strolling among the green grass and clear springs, feeling the breeze, everything would be so beautiful, but the reality was... The weather changed, the cold wind blew, there was no end to the road, and there was no end to the wind. Yunluo and An Chuyu's physical strength was gradually consumed here. Half an hour later.

Finally arriving at the Huaguo Tower, they didn't expect there was an HB beer house here. Yunluo and An Chuyu quickly ordered some meat and sat down to eat. A plate of roasted chicken, a plate of roasted pork elbows, a plate of roasted pork ribs, and a plate of roasted sausages. Compared with the Germans next to them, Yunluo and An Chuyu lacked beer and staple food, but they ate the most delicious and the fastest.

Seeing that it was approaching three o'clock, Yunluo and An Chuyu hurriedly took a car to another destination, BMW World and Olympic Park. BMW World is only a minute's walk from the subway station. It is very close, there is no entrance fee, and you can see all kinds of BMW cars. I don't know much about cars, and besides the main brand BMW, I only know Rolls-Royce.

So I'll post some interesting photos. Sitting in the car and looking up, you can see the simulated starry sky, which is romantic. This should be human-powered... Evolution of the tricycle. The second floor displays BMW motorcycles. No matter how ordinary you are, riding a motorcycle is so cool. BMW's indoor test track.

Yunluo and other poor losers didn't go to test drive... After passing through BMW World, you can see the BMW headquarters building, the four-cylinder building, and the BMW Museum. The museum charges tickets, and the headquarters only allows internal company personnel to enter, so just watch the scenery from a distance. Finally, there is the Olympic Park, where many people are exercising and exercising, although the weather was good at that time.

But it was still a little cold, Yunluo caught a cold again, and her throat was uncomfortable, so she went into the warm indoor swimming pool and sat down, which was so comfortable. Looking at the people diving one after another in the distance, Yunluo and An Chuyu began to comment seriously. Next is the food topic, the morning of the first day of the trip to Germany. (~^~)
