Section 1357 Lonely

After rinsing into the water, the originally colorless and transparent ouzo will immediately become turbid. The production of ouzo in Greece can be traced back to the mid-1750s. In some special restaurants called ouze Japanese, it can be said to be a star-rated drink. According to EU law, it has been recognized as a special Greek product. This is simply Greek "bean juice".

With a reputation, Yun Luo had no blessing to save An Chu met her and laughed secretly. In order to eliminate the star anise flavor, she decided to eat ice cream. Although Greek ice cream is not as delicious as Italian, it is also refreshing and delicious in the hot summer. In the afternoon, walk along the street to the depths of the town and sit down and spend time at another coffee bar.

Since there was no waiter to greet him, there was nothing to do. An Chuyu fell asleep with the sea breeze. After taking a nap, he decided to go to the am under the cliff to take a look. He had to walk a step to the am, and the donkey was the only means of transportation here except walking. Although the donkey tasted quite a bit.

But tourists are not incompatible with their close contact. Yachts and fishing boats are floating on the sapphire blue sea, and seafood restaurants are also everywhere along the dock. The famous octopus restaurant has naturally become a striking sign, which has become the best choice for Yunluo and An Chuhui dinner. The dining table is close to the sea, although the amount of seafood platter is a bit deceptive.

But the environment is beyond words, but the wind is strong that day and sandstorms occasionally rise. After dinner, I plan to go to the castle to watch the sunset. The moment of sunset is when Yunluo and An Chucheng set off to the airport to say goodbye to the Holy Island. I reluctantly bid farewell to the Holy Island. This blue and white color is unforgettable. Yunluo and An Chucheng will definitely come back again. Leave a message to see.

Because there will be a grand change of guards in Athens Constitution Square at 11:00 every Sunday, I went straight to Constitution Square after breakfast in the morning. Arrived more than ten minutes in advance. Both sides of the square were crowded with people, and the front was blocked by a cordon. The two guards were already stomping on exaggerated steps to change guards. They couldn't help but mutter: Did the change of guards be early?

After about ten minutes, I realized what the "grand shift ceremony" meant. It turned out that what was just a regular shift was a large group of people coming from the main road in front of the square. The leading one was a military band. Then there were teams of guards wearing traditional clothes. When all the guards arrived at the square, they lined up to watch. The guards on the original guard began to move.

A team of guards in the center of the square walked forward and completed the change of guards. This is probably the procedure. I admire these guards. They wear such bulky shoes and can walk so steadily. When changing guards, they take steps, raise their legs high, take slow steps, and land with sound. Like the slow motion in the movie, the difficulty coefficient is extremely high, and it is definitely a physical strength + technical job!

Two of the three men sat on the steps and completed the change of guards with the original two guards. After the change of guards, all the guards in the square salute, and then the large army returned on the same route. After the live broadcast, it was time to take a photo with the guards! No matter who was beside him, the guards remained motionless, with serious expressions, and were worthy of being well-trained.

Travel north from Plaza de Constitution. Not long after, you can reach the "Neoclassical Trilogy" of Athens, namely the University of Athens, the College of Athens and the Greek National Library. The Greek National Library has 4,500 Greek manuscripts, which is one of the most preserved Greek manuscripts. The University of Athens is the oldest and most influential university in Greece.

It is not only the first university in Greece, but also the first university in the entire Balkans and central Mediterranean region. The Academy of Athens was built imitating the Acropolis. The two pillars outside were carved with a standing statue of Athena wearing armor and an Apollo holding musical instruments. Below the pillars are seated statues of Plato and Socrates.

Back at the Tunastiraki Plaza, I bought two pita for 4 euros. The price is simply too cheap in Europe, especially compared with the prices in Switzerland. I came here mainly for the high-quality and affordable cherries. I enjoyed a free cold drink at the coffee bar at the entrance of the hotel, and then set off for the airport. I prepared to go to Rome, the capital of Italy.

Athens Airport, leaving this romantic country with reluctance, was originally worried that the turmoil that might break out due to the European debt crisis now seems completely redundant. I wish the people of this country to live happily in this beautiful place. I hope that the blue and white here will not change due to social changes.

At 17 pm, the plane landed at the Rome Filing Ino Airport and took the terravi private onbus to the downtown railway station. The hotel in Rome is a B&B near the train station. Because the B&B has no brand, it took a long time to find the residence. The residence is located on an ancient residential building in Rome, with a squeaking old elevator.

The balcony covered with green plants surprised Yunluo and An Chuyu, who were used to living in modern star hotels, were also very enthusiastic. They also gave various breads, yogurt, juices in the kitchen and refrigerator, and also served various exquisite desserts for breakfast in the morning. I heard that An Chuyu didn't like sweets, so the landlord actually prepared a few packs of "a diced before leaving" in the kitchen.

I took care of everything, so I had to recommend these bags of instant noodles. After packing up, it was almost dark. I decided to go to the Colosseum to take a night view and find an Italian restaurant to solve the problem of food and clothing. The Colosseum reflected by the lights at night is very beautiful~ The Arc de Triomphe was built in 315 AD.

It was built to celebrate the complete victory over his powerful enemy, Maxenti and unify the empire. After the night scene shooting, I found the restaurant recommended by the landlord, tempiodimeenate, and there were so many people at around 9 pm. When I came to Italy, I naturally had to taste the authentic pizza and pasta. A glimpse of Rome ended in a hurry, and the Roman rampage mode will be turned on tomorrow and have a rest early.

Early in the morning, I saw the breakfast carefully prepared by the landlord of B&B. An Chuyu soaked a pack of "One Cubes Before You Go". He had a full meal and walked to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Snow (Ba Private Day Amaggiore). The Cathedral of Our Lady of Snow is one of the four major cathedrals in Rome, the first church in the West to worship Our Lady of Our Lady, and one of the most beautiful churches in the world.

In the 4th century, Pope Liberius saw the Virgin Mary in his dream: "Build a church in the snow tonight." Legend has it that although it was August, it snowed here, so the church began to be built. The 36 columns inside it were moved from the ancient Roman temple, and the mosaics decorated in the upper part and the back of the central altar were all decorated in the 5th century.

The golden inlay decoration "The Coronation of Maria" shining on the rear ceiling was built in the 13th century. Walking all the way to the Plaza of Republic, the northeast corner is the Church of Our Lady of Angeli (Ba Liadisantama Adeglianeli). This was originally part of the bathing grounds of Emperor Diocletian, designed by Michelangelo in 1563.

A warm water hall was demolished and renovated, but the appearance of the bath site remains unchanged. A small door in the church leads to the Galileo Memorial Courtyard. The Chinese Academy of Sciences donated a bronze statue of Galileo designed by Lee Zhengdao. Take the subway from Repubblia Station to Flaminio Station and the People's Square (Piazzadelpopolo).

There are 3 ancient churches on the square: the Church of the Virgin Mary and the Gemini Church with symmetrical shapes. This is the main hub for the ancient Roman city to connect with the northern cities. Continue the subway, the spagna station reaches the famous Piazzadispagna. The Spanish square is named after the nearby Spanish Embassy. It is located under the hill where Trinity Church is located.

The movie "Roman Holiday" makes this place famous worldwide. The broken boat fountain in the center of the square is a baroque work designed by Bernini, to commemorate the flood caused by the flood in 1598. It is said that after the flood receded, a wooden boat drifting downstream was left in the center of the square. This fountain was made.

Trinity Church is under maintenance and renovation. The Spanish Embassy next to the square. There is also a pompi dessert shop known as the king of Tiramisu in Italy on the street near the square. Near the subway barbe rini station, there is a less famous but special attraction church (chiesadisantama rienzione).

The church was built between 1626 and 1631. There are five small churches on the lower floor of the church, which store more than 4,000 Christian bones from 1528 to 1870. They urgently hope that when Christ comes again, their souls can be reunited with the ** and resurrection. In order to show respect for the deceased, the church does not allow photos to be taken, so let's use the Internet to display it.

Then head south to the Wishing Pool (fontanaditrevi). Wishing Pool is the world's largest baroque fountain. It was famous all over the world after the movie "Roman Holiday" became popular all over the world. The marble sea god statue on the main part of the fountain is lifelike, and the subtle parts are like huge shells pulled by seahors and are also handled very exquisitely.

Legend has it that if you turn your back and throw a coin into the pool, you can make three wishes, but one of them must be "return to Rome". The main pool is under maintenance, and a small pool next to it has set up to satisfy everyone's coin-operated wishes. It's time to dessert again~ Giolitti's ice cream, traditional Italian handmade ice cream, cheap and in a hot summer.

You can't miss it. Then head south to Piazzavenezia, the largest square in Rome. The Victor Emmanuel Second Century Hall looks down at the square in the south and north. It is the most eye-catching building on the square. This neoclassical building built in white marble was built to celebrate the unification of Italy in 1870.

Not far from Piazza de Venice is Piazzadelcampidoglio. This is the municipal square, with radial geometric figures designed by Michelangelo on the ground. There is a bronze statue of Emperor Marco Olerio riding in the middle of the square. The front of the square is the Roman municipal government, built in the Middle Ages and was the place where the Roman Senate held a meeting.

There are three statues in front of the city government building, with the god of wisdom in the middle. The mother wolf and the Luansheng brothers on the right are the Tiber River, which symbolizes the Roman city, and the Egyptian sphinx on the left are the Nile River. Behind Piazza Capitorio are the ancient Roman ruins. This is the center of the ancient Roman empire in the past and the largest existing Roman ruins in the world.

There were countless palaces and buildings built in the past, but now there are only tiles left, and it is hard to imagine the prosperous scene at that time. I came to the Colosseum again. This was a place where the ancient Roman Empire was dedicated to slave owners, nobles and free people watching beasts or slaves fighting. The entire building could accommodate nearly 90,000 spectators.

In 72 AD, Emperor Vepasian forced 80,000 Jewish prisoners to build the project in order to celebrate the victory of conquering Jerusalem. The project took 8 years. During the Renaissance, many stones from the Colosseum were dug up to build palaces and churches. After many renovations, this ancient and majestic building has been preserved to this day.

The ancient Roman rulers organized here, driving beasts, slaves, prisoners of war, and criminals to perform "performances". "As long as you grab a handful of soil on the gladiatorium and put it in your hand, you can see the blood stains printed on your palms." Finally, take the subway to sangiovanni Station, St. John's Cathedral (Ba Private Liadisangiovanni Inlaterano).

It is known as the Four Roman Cathedral, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Snow, the Church of St. Peter, and the Church of St. Paul. It dates back to 312 AD. Constantine the Great allowed the Pope to preach here. This cathedral was once the residence of the Pope. Next to the church is the famous Salasanta Church. The 28th stairs protected by wood are said to be the crucifixion of Jesus.

At that time, he entered the 28 steps that he walked through when the government office of the Roman governor Pilate was tried. Because it was too late, the church was closed and he could not enter to see the true face. After walking in Rome for a day, the culture and charm of this city accumulated over thousands of years could not be fully explored and understood in just a few hours.

Dragging his tired body back to his residence and sleeping beautifully~ I will visit the Vatican tomorrow.

Follow the plan to visit the Vatican, the smallest country in the world. The Vatican is an independent and sovereign country ruled by the Pope of the Christian Roman Catholic Church and its Holy See. It covers an area of ​​only 0.44 square kilometers. Take the subway to the ottaviano-sanpietro station and enter the Vatican in a walk. The first stop is the famous Vatican Museum.

The museum was originally the Pope's palace and was one of the three largest museums in the world that are as famous as the British Museum and the Louvre in Paris. Because of the fact that there is no in-depth understanding of the museum's collection, it only takes a lecturer to travel through the huge museum, and can only take a quick look at the flowers, religious paintings, Garden of Eden, Sarcophagus, and Cuneiform.

Egyptian mummy Anubis, the soul patron saint in ancient Egyptian theology system. The hero of Greek mythology Perseus carried the head of the banshee Medusa. The muscular man Raocon, who warned the Trojans not to accept the Trojans left by the Greeks in the Trojan War, but failed. He and his two sons were killed by two big snakes that crossed the sea.

It is still relatively tight to spend three or four hours visiting the Vatican Museum. I will take a closer look at it at the beginning. I am so tired later. You should choose a few collections you are interested in, and there is no need to cover everything. Go down the stairs and leave the museum. Walk along the city wall to St. Peter's Basilica, the largest church in the world.

There were hundreds of meters in line in the square. However, the team was moving forward quite quickly and entered the church in a short while. St. Peter's Church was built on the cemetery of St. Peter, the first disciple of Jesus. It is the central church of Roman Christianity, the pilgrimage site for European Catholics, and the Vatican Pope. A statue of St. Peter stands on the left side of the church door.

He looked calm, holding the golden key to heaven given to him by Jesus in his right hand, and a volume of the imperial edicts given to him by Jesus in his left hand. Peter was the first of Jesus' 12 disciples. Before Jesus returned to heaven, he handed him the golden key, and Peter became the leader of the Catholic Church. He came to Rome to preach.

In 64 AD, he was killed by Emperor Nero in Rome. After his martyrdom, he was revered as the first pope by his descendants. The subsequent Catholic pope were all regarded as the heirs of St. Peter and were regarded as the representative of Christ's living. It is said that his tomb is under the main altar of St. Peter's church. The main hall of St. Peter's church has 5 doors.

Usually tourists enter through the middle gate. The holy gate on the right only opens once every Holy Year. According to regulations, every 25 years on Christmas Eve, the holy gate is opened by the pope and walks into the holy church, which means entering heaven. The first feeling of St. Peter's Cathedral is grand and solemn, which makes people irresistible to resist the artistic charm and reverence of religion here.

The bronze canopy is located under the famous large arched roof in the center of the church, supported by four spiral copper pillars. The semicircular railing in front is always lit with 99 eternal lamps. Below is the apostle altar and the tomb of St. Peter. Only the pope can hold a mass in front of the altar facing the rising sun on the eastward altar and hold a pilgrimage.

The altar of St. Peter was commissioned by Bernini by Pope Alexander VII. Above the throne is a wooden chair with radiant glory niches and ivory ornaments. On the back of the chair are two little angels holding the key to open the kingdom of heaven and the triple crown of the Pope. Legend has it that this wooden chair is the real throne of St. Peter.

Michelangelo's great work, Saint Soul, is one of the three treasures of the church. Saint Soul is a great work completed by Michelangelo when he was less than 25 years old. Jesus lay in the arms of the Virgin Mary, and the Virgin Mary had no sad expression, but was calm and peaceful. This is Michelangelo's only signed sculpture. The statue of St. Peter.

The Swiss Imperial Guard guarding the Vatican. The Swiss Imperial Guard was set up by the Pope in 1506, and its uniform was said to be designed by Michelangelo. The conditions for enlistment were very strict. In addition to being a devout believer in a specific Catholic area in Switzerland, it had to be an unmarried man with strict military training above 174 cm.

After the Vatican tour, I left the city and returned to Rome to visit the unfinished attractions the day before. Castle Santangelo, a tomb built on the banks of the Tiber River, was designed and personally directed by the Roman emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, as a resting place for himself and his successors.

In the 6th century, Pope Gregory I erected a statue of an archangel holding a sword on the top of the castle to fight against the popular Black Death at that time, and thus was named the Castle of the Saint Angels. The Bridge of the Saint Angels across the Tiber River in front of the Saint Angels is the most beautiful bridge in the city of Rome. There are twelve statues of angels on the bridge, and each angel holds a torture instrument of Jesus in his hand.
