波罗地海游轮之旅 (一)-- 码头惊魂

几年前去过伦敦,中午飞机落地后,我们直接在机场取车出发去温莎城堡,第一次开左行路,有点儿紧张。喜欢温莎低调稳固的奢华,伊顿公学从这样的土地汲取营养,学生自然有得天独厚的眼界。

晚饭点上到达巴斯(Bath),黄昏的古城真正现出了岁月静好的境界。在网上订了一家名字很俗的酒店,叫天堂之家。入住后被英国人的花园折服,深感名符其实。

夜访巴斯古城,很安全,也很有味道

第二天一早去巨石阵想看巨石中间的日出,被起得更早的保安拒之门外。转去索尔兹伯里(Salisbury)老城的大教堂,仍是太早,幸好被来做活动的义工先放进去。再回去快快地看完巨石阵,已是11点半了。这一番折腾,多看了英国乡村的景色,却让我们差点误了船。

原先早早地从谷歌地图上查好从机场到码头的走法,????没算到在伦敦一天不同的时段,中间地铁花费的时间是大大的不同,待我们到达Tilbury 小镇时,最后一班去码头了班车已经开走,眼见之处没有一辆出租车,这时离开船时间不到半个小时了。我们拖着行李箱向着远远可见的游轮烟囱无望的飞奔。在这"危急关头",一辆小型SUV打了个U弯停在我们面前。原来车上的中年夫妇刚送了老婆的妈妈和妹妹上同一艘游轮,正打道回府,看见我们拖包飞奔的狼狈相,出手相救,开车把我们直接送入侯船大厅。此时最后几个工作人员已经撤去标识和安检门,准备自己上船了。我们自己拖着行李箱冲上舷梯,第一次没经安检,没有名牌,就登船了。七八分钟后,船离港了。若不是伦敦这对好心夫妇的帮助,我们定然变成拖着行李箱在码头上眼睁睁看轮船离开的人了。教训,千万不可玩得太疯。

我们在游轮上的愉快之旅开始了。

惊魂脯定,船上晚餐加鸡腿!
