Piazza Espana - Seville, Spain

Around lunchtime we stumbled upon a very cute, quaint rooftop restaurant with the greatest-tasting sangria I’ve ever had. And thank goodness it’s so easy to fly within Spain since we were able to get a full day in Seville and not have to fly back to Madrid until 9:30 PM that night. The next day, I decided to move onto Italy and continue my impromptu traveling in a country I know and love very much. My friend, Matt, returned home to the States to work for four more days but the next week, when he was given another 4 days off, we decided we’d meet in Rome and continue our European adventures part 2!

大約中午的時候我們偶然發現一個非常可愛有典雅屋頂的餐廳, 有我喝過最好喝的血紅雞尾酒. 感謝一切的美好, 在西班牙國內坐飛機很容易, 因而我們能在塞維利亞待一整天而在晚上九點半飛回馬德里. 接下來一天, 我決定前去義大利並在我所知道也非常喜愛的地方繼續我的即興旅行. 我朋友Matt返回美國工作四天, 但是下個禮拜當他得到另外四天假的時候, 我們決定要在羅馬碰頭並且繼續我們的第二階段歐洲冒險.

Royal Palace - Madrid, Spain

What a beautiful city Madrid is! We enjoyed a full day exploring this regal city in perfect sunshine and warm summer temperatures in the mid-80s. The second day we thought it would be fun to take advantage of how inexpensive it is to travel within Spain via plane and took a cheap flight down to Seville. Now, I’ll say that I’m incredibly impartial to Italy and all things Italian but Seville makes it difficult for that claim to hold! It is the most charming, beautiful, intricate, and colorful city I’ve been to in a long, long time – and that’s saying something given by history of hopping on flights to Europe at a moment’s notice! We loved walking around the city’s cobblestone streets, gazing at the huge, majestic cathedral and the historical, regal Alcazar Palace.

Alcazar - Seville, Spain

馬德里真是個美麗的城市! 我們在完美的陽光和溫暖的夏日華氏80度的氣溫下, 享受了一整天探索這個華麗莊嚴的城市. 第二天我們想說利用不貴的西班牙國內班機到塞維利亞旅遊一定很有趣. 現在我說對義大利和所有義大利的東西是非常立場公正的, 但是塞維利亞使我這個宣示難以維持! 這真是許久以來我所見過最迷人, 美麗, 細緻, 和顏色豐富的城市了- 這訴說了我在這樣突然飛來歐洲班機上的期待! 我們愛行走在這城市的鵝卵石街道, 看著大而雄偉的大教堂和有歷史的莊嚴的Alcazar皇宮.

Kate & Matt

Luckily, my friend, Matt, who also had some time off from any obligation or responsibility for four days was in Newark as well and we decided to travel together. By about 7 PM options were: Zurich, Switzerland; Madrid, Spain; Barcelona, Spain; Lisbon, Portugal; Munich, Germany; or London, England. It worked out really well that not only did my friend speak Spanish but he loves Spanish culture so who better to travel to Spain with than him? We used our Smart phones to book ourselves on the Madrid flight and within a few minutes we had our awaited ticket to Europe. A non-stress, mostly dormant 7-hour plane ride had us landing in Madrid in no time. 

幸運地, 我的朋友Matt也有四天的空檔不用值勤, 他也在紐華克, 我們決定一起旅遊. 在約晚上7點的時候, 有以下的選項: 瑞士蘇黎士, 西班牙馬德里, 西班牙巴塞隆納, 葡萄牙里斯本, 德國慕尼黑, 或英國倫敦. 一切十分順利, 不僅是我朋友會說西班牙文, 同時他也熱愛西班牙文化, 所以誰比他更好同遊西班牙呢? 我們用我們的智慧手機去訂去馬德里的班機, 就在幾分鐘之內我們就有了等候去歐洲的機票. 一個輕鬆而使人安眠的7小時飛行讓我們很快地降落在馬德里.

After arriving at the San Francisco airport, I realized one thing: I had to get to the East Coast before I could hop on a flight to Europe. Luckily the first leg of the journey, however, was the easiest. There were more than 10 options to either Boston, Newark, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. or New York. The San Francisco-Boston flight had me on the East Coast and ready for the next leg of spontaneous, unplanned travel. After realizing that more flights to Europe actually depart rather than from Newark than Boston, I hopped on a flight down to Newark and waited there for the majority of the day since it was still only about 8 AM and the Europe flights don’t depart until 4 PM or later. I enjoyed the day at the Newark Airport, eating airport food, lounging in the United Club area and eagerly looking forward to all the options that were in store for flying to Europe that night.

到達舊金山機場之後, 我明白了一件事: 我必須要先去東岸才能搭上去歐洲的飛機. 幸運的這第一段旅程是最容易的. 有超過10班飛機飛往波士頓, 紐華克, 費城, 華盛頓特區, 或紐約. 我搭上自舊金山飛往波士頓的飛機到了東岸, 準備第二段自發沒有計畫的旅程. 但在明白了相較於波士頓, 有更多往歐洲的飛機是從紐華克起飛的之後, 我跳上一班飛往紐華克的班機並在紐華克等了大半天, 因為當時是早上8點而到歐洲的航班是4點以後才起飛. 我享受了在紐華克機場的一天, 吃機場的食物, 泡在聯航的貴賓休息室, 還有急切地盼著當晚飛去歐洲的所有選項.

凱特老師在學校開學前進行了一次瘋狂的歐洲之旅, 為什麼瘋狂呢?因為凱特老師到了機場還不知道要去哪呢? 凱特老師與她在航空公司工作的好朋友Matt, 在飛機起飛的前一刻展開了這場冒險之旅.

Trip to Madrid, Florence, Vicenza, Rome, Ferrara, Verona, Bologna and Padua in 11 days!

11天遊遍馬德里, 佛羅倫斯, 維琴察, 羅馬, 費拉拉, 維羅納, 波隆納, 還有帕多瓦!

When my good friend, Matt, gifted me an airline “Buddy Pass” at the time I didn’t know the kind of adventure and spontaneity that would come with it! I had spent a grueling 10 weeks here in Berkeley taking an intensive Latin course that lasted the entire summer. The day after I finished this long, tiring course, I thought to myself “Why not take advantage of the Buddy Pass and add some adventure to life?!” The Buddy Pass is a magical tool in the travel world; with it, you can travel anywhere in the world on standby. In less than an hour, I’d decided I was going to go on a trip to Europe. I didn’t know yet where I wanted to go, how long I was going to stay there, or really what my plan was. I figured that with a passport, a few shirts, comfortable walking shoes, a debit card and a few Euro on hand, I’d at least get through the first few days OK without any real issue.

當我的好朋友Matt送我一張“親屬機票”時, 我並不曉得這樣的冒險會自動隨著來到! 我已經花了累人的十週在柏克萊這裡上拉丁文課, 持續了整個暑假. 完成這又長又累的課程的第二天, 我這樣想”為什麼不利用這個親屬機票來增加一些生活中的冒險呢?!” 在旅遊的世界裡, 親屬機票是一個神奇的工具, 有了它你可以去世界各地, 如果你在機場等候. 一小時之內, 我決定要去歐洲. 我不知道要去哪一國, 我要待在那裡多久, 或到底我的計畫是什麼? 我想, 帶著護照, 衣服, 舒適的鞋子, 一張現金卡, 和一些歐元在手上, 我應該可以至少順利度過頭幾日,沒什麼問題的.
