Section 1357 Loneliness

readx;?After flushing into the water, the original colorless and transparent ouzo will immediately become cloudy. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info + ◆, ouzo in Greece can be made in the mid-50s of the 18th century, in some special restaurants called ouzeries, it can be described as a star drink, according to EU law has been recognized as a special Greek product. This is simply Greek "bean juice".

The reputation is outside, but the clouds fall but there is no blessing... When An Chu saw this, he smiled secretly on the side~ In order to eliminate the octagonal flavor in his mouth, he decided to eat ice cream. Greek ice cream is not as delicious as Italy, but it is still cool and delicious on a hot summer day. In the afternoon, walk down the side streets into the depths of town and sit down at another coffee bar to kill time.

Since there was no waiter to greet him, he simply didn't have anything, and with the sea breeze blowing, An Chuyu fell asleep. After a short rest, I decided to check out Ammoudibay at the bottom of the cliff. There is a flight of steps to get to Ammoudibay, and donkeys are the only means of transport here besides walking. Although the taste of donkeys is not small.

But visitors are not averse to getting up close and personal with them. Yachts and fishing boats float on the sapphire blue sea, and seafood restaurants are lined with marinas. The famous octopus restaurant has naturally used octopus as an eye-catching sign, which has also become the best choice for Yunluo and An's first dinner. The table is next to the sea, although the seafood platter is a bit of a.

But there is nothing to say about the environment, but it is windy and occasionally dusty. After dinner, I plan to go to the ancient castle to watch the sunset, which is when Yunluo and An first meet and leave for the airport to say goodbye to the holy island. Reluctantly bid farewell to the holy island, this blue and white color is unforgettable, Yunluo and An will definitely come back again when they meet for the first time, and the message can be learned.

Every Sunday at 11:00 a.m. there is a great changing of the guard in Syntagma Square, so after breakfast in the morning, head straight to Syntagma Square. Arriving ten minutes early, both sides of the square were already crowded with people. The front was stopped by a cordon, and the two guards were already changing the guard at an exaggerated pace. I couldn't help but mutter: Could it be that the changing of the guard is ahead of schedule?

After about ten minutes, I realized what a "grand changing of the guard ceremony" was, and it turned out that it was just a regular changing of the guard... A large group of men came from the main road at the front of the square, led by a military band. This was followed by a group of guards dressed in traditional costumes. When all the guards arrived at the square, they lined up ~ The original guards began to move.

In the center of the square, a group of guards stepped forward. Completing the changing of the guard, this is probably the procedure. I admire these guards, wearing such bulky shoes, and still walking so steadily. The steps taken during the changing of the guard, the legs are raised, the steps are slow, and the landing is sound, like the slow motion in the movie, and the difficulty coefficient is extremely high. It's definitely physical + technical work!

Two of the three sat on the steps and completed the changing of the guard with the original two guards. After the changing of the guard, all the guards in the square saluted, and then the large army returned the same way. After the live broadcast, it's time to take a photo with the guards! No matter who was beside them, the guards remained unmoved, their expressions serious, and they were well-trained.

Head north from Syntagma Square. It is not long before the "Neoclassical Trilogy" of Athens, namely the University of Athens, the Academy of Athens and the National Library of Greece. The National Library of Greece has a collection of 4,500 Greek manuscripts. It is one of the places with the largest number of preserved Greek manuscripts. The University of Athens is the oldest and most influential university in Greece.

The first university not only in Greece, but also in the entire Balkans and the central Mediterranean. The Academy of Athens was modeled after the Acropolis, with two pillars carved on the outside with statues of Athena in armor and Apollo holding musical instruments, respectively, with seated statues of Plato and Socrates underneath the columns.

Back at Monastiraki Square, I bought two pitas for 4 euros, which is simply too cheap in Europe. Especially compared with the price of Switzerland~ I came here mainly for the big cherries that were inexpensive. Enjoy a complimentary cold drink at the café bar in front of the hotel before departing for the airport for Rome, the capital of Italy.

Athens Airport, reluctant to leave this romantic country, was originally worried about the possible turmoil due to the European debt crisis. Now it seems completely redundant. I wish the people of this country a happy life in this beautiful place all the time, and I hope that the blue and white color here will not change due to social changes.

At 17 o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed at Rome Fiumicino Airport and arrived at the city train station Termini by Terravisionbus. The hotel in Rome is the B&Bbiancagiulia near the train station, and it took a long time to find accommodation because the B&B was not branded. The accommodation is located on the upper floor of an old residential building in Rome, with a creaky old elevator.

The balcony full of green plants made Yunluo He'an, who is accustomed to living in modern star hotels, a little surprise for the first time. The landlord was also very welcoming, with a variety of breads, yogurts, juices in the kitchen fridge and a special dessert for breakfast in the morning. I heard that An Chuyu didn't like sweets, so the landlord actually prepared a few packs of "out of the front one" in the kitchen.

It's so meticulous, I have to recommend a few packs of instant noodles. After cleaning up, it was almost dark, and I decided to go to the Colosseum to take a night view, and by the way, I found an Italian restaurant to solve the problem of food and clothing. The Colosseum under the lights at night is very beautiful~ The Arch of Constantine, built in 315 AD.

It was built to celebrate Constantine the Great's complete victory over his powerful enemy Maxenti and the unification of the empire. After the night scene shooting, I found the restaurant tempiodimecenate recommended by the host, and there were so many people at 9 o'clock in the evening. When you come to Italy, you should try authentic pizza and pasta. The glimpse of Rome is over in a hurry, and tomorrow will turn on the Roman rampage mode, with an early rest.

Early in the morning, I saw the breakfast carefully prepared by the B&B landlord, and An Chuyu soaked a pack of "one ding before leaving". After a full meal, walk to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Snow (B). The Basilica of Our Lady of Snow is one of the four basilicas in Rome, the first church dedicated to Our Lady in the West and one of the most beautiful churches in the world.

In the 4th century, Pope Liberius saw the Virgin Mary in a dream: "Build a church where it snows tonight". Legend has it that it was August but it was snowing, so construction of the church began. Its interior of 36 columns was moved from ancient Roman temples, and the mosaics on the upper part and behind the central altar are all decorated from the 5th century.

The "Coronation of Maria", which shines on the ceiling at the back, was built in the 13th century. Walk all the way to the Plaza de la Repubblica, and in the northeast corner is the Basilica disantamariadegliangeli. It was originally part of the Baths of Emperor Diocletian, designed by Michelangelo in his later years in 1563.

Demolition of a warm water hall and reconstruction. But the appearance of the monuments of the baths remains the same. A small door in the church leads to the Galileo Memorial Courtyard, where the Chinese Academy of Sciences donated a 6-meter-tall bronze statue of Galileo designed by Lee Tsung-dao. From the Repubblica station take the metro to the Flaminio station, Piazza del Populo.

There are 3 ancient churches in the square: the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore and the symmetrical Twin Churches. It was the main hub of communication between the ancient Roman city and the northern cities. Continuing on the metro, the Spagna station reaches the famous Piazza di Spagna (Piazza dispagna). Plaza de España, named after the nearby Spanish Embassy, is located at the foot of the hill where the Trinity Church is located.

The movie "Roman Holiday" made it famous all over the world. The shipwrecked fountain in the center of the square is a baroque design by Bernini to commemorate the floods caused by the flood in 1598. It is said that when the flood receded, a wooden boat drifting down the river was left in the center of the square, and this fountain was made for this purpose.

Trinity Church is under maintenance and renovation. The Spanish Embassy next to the square. On the street near the square is also a pompi dessert shop, known as the king of Italian tiramisu. Near the Barberini metro station, there is a lesser-known but more special attraction - the Chiesadisantamariadellaconcezione.

Built between 1626 and 1631, the church has five chapels on the lower floor, storing the bones of more than 4,000 Christians from 1528 to 1870, who hoped that when Christ returned, their souls could be reunited and resurrected. As a sign of respect for the deceased, the church does not allow photographs. Let's show it off with the theft of the Internet.

After that, head south to the Trevi Fountain (Fontanaditrevi). The Trevi Fountain is the world's largest baroque fountain and became famous after the movie "Roman Holiday" became popular all over the world. The marble statue of the god of the sea in the main part of the fountain is lifelike, and the details such as the huge seashells pulled by the seahorses are also quite exquisitely treated.

Legend has it that turning your back and throwing a coin into the pool can make three wishes, but one of them must be "return to Rome". The main pool is being maintained, and a small pool is built next to it to meet everyone's coin wishes... Pit people~ Dessert time is here again~ Giolitti ice cream, Italian traditional handmade ice cream, cheap and large. It's summer.

Don't miss it, then head south to Piazza Venezia, the largest square in Rome. Victor? The Emmanuel II Memorial sits south and faces north overlooking the square. It is the most striking building in the square. This neoclassical building built in white marble was built to celebrate the unification of Italy in 1870.

Not far from Piazza Venezia is Piazza del Capitoglio. This is the Municipal Square, with radial geometry designed by Michelangelo on the ground. In the center of the square there is a bronze statue of Emperor Marcus Olerio on horseback. On the façade of the square is the Roman Municipal Government, built in the Middle Ages as the place where the Roman Senate met at that time.

There are three statues in front of the Municipal Government Building, with the god of wisdom in the center, and the she-wolf and the Luansheng brothers on the right are the Tiber River, which symbolizes the city of Rome. The Egyptian Sphinx on the left is the Nile. Behind Piazza Capitoline is the Roman ruins, the center of the former Roman Empire and the largest Roman ruins in the world.

Countless palaces and complexes were built in the past, but now all that remains is ruins. It's hard to imagine the prosperity of that time. Again at the Colosseum, a place in the Roman Empire where slave owners, aristocrats and freedmen watched the fight of beasts or slave fights, the entire building could accommodate nearly 90,000 spectators.

In 72 C.E., Emperor Vepasian celebrated his victory in the conquest of Jerusalem by forcing 80,000 Jewish prisoners to build the project, which took eight years. During the Renaissance, Rome was heavily built, and many of the stones of the Colosseum were dug up to build palaces and churches. Since then, it has undergone several renovations to preserve this ancient and majestic building to this day.

Here, the rulers of ancient Rome organized and drove beasts of prey to "show" with slaves, prisoners of war, and criminals. "As long as you grab a handful of dirt on the gladiatorial ring and put it in your hand, you can see the blood stains printed on your palm." Finally, take the metro to Sangiovanni station, Basilicadisangiovanniinlaterano.

Together with the Cathedral of Our Lady of Snow White, St. Peter's Church, and St. Paul's Church, it is known as the Four Basilica of Rome, and its history dates back to 312 AD. Emperor Constantine the Great allowed the Pope to preach here, and the cathedral was once the residence of the Pope. Next to the church is the famous Scalasanta Church, with 28 wooden steps that are said to be the site of the Crucifixion.

The 28 steps he walked through when he entered the palace of the Roman governor Pilate. Because of the late hour, the church was closed, so I couldn't get a sneak peek of it. After a day in the city of Rome, the culture and charm of the city that has accumulated over thousands of years cannot be fully explored and appreciated in just a few hours.

Drag the tired body back to the residence, sleep 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 state under the jurisdiction of the Pope and the Holy See of the Christian Roman Catholic Church, with an area of only 0.44 square kilometers. Take the metro to Ottaviano-Sanpietro station and walk into the Vatican. The first stop is the famous Vatican Museums.

The museum was originally the Papal Court. It is one of the top three museums in the world, along with the British Museum and the Louvre in Paris. Because I don't have an in-depth understanding of the museum's collections, I can only walk around the huge museum with a docent. Religious paintings. Eden. Sarcophagus. Cuneiform.

Egyptian mummies. Anubis, the patron saint of the soul in the ancient Egyptian theological system. Perseus, the hero of Greek mythology, carries the head of the banshee Medusa. Muscular man. Laocoon, who warned the Trojans during the Trojan War not to accept the Trojan horses left behind by the Greeks, was unsuccessful, and he and his two sons were killed by two large snakes that crossed the sea.

Time to spend three or four hours visiting the Vatican Museums is still relatively tight, and at first I will take a closer look. I'm so tired that I can't do it. You should still choose a few collections that you are interested in, and you don't need to be exhaustive. Spiral staircase down the stairs. Leave the museum. Walk along the city walls to St. Peter's Basilica, the largest church in the world.

The queue in the square is several hundred meters. However, the speed of the procession was quite fast, and after a while it entered the church. St. Peter's Church, built on the tomb of St. Peter, the first disciple of Jesus, is the central church of Roman Christianity, a pilgrimage site for Catholics in Europe, and the Holy See of the Pope in the Vatican. On the left side of the church is a statue of St. Peter.

He looked calm, holding in his right hand the golden key to heaven that Jesus had given him, and in his left hand a scroll of Jesus' decree to him. Peter was the first of Jesus' 12 disciples. Jesus gave him the golden key before returning to Heaven, Peter became the head of the Catholic Church, and he came to Rome as a missionary.

In 64 AD, he was killed by Emperor Nero in Rome and was revered as the first pope after his martyrdom. Later Catholic emperors were regarded as the heirs of St. Peter and as the living representatives of Christ. His tomb is said to be just below the main altar in St. Peter's Church. The main basilica of St. Peter's has 5 doors.

Visitors usually enter through the middle gate. The Holy Gate on the right is opened only once every Holy Year. According to the regulations, every 25 years on Christmas night, the Holy Gate is opened and the Pope leads the way into the church, which means to enter heaven. The first thing that strikes St. Peter's Basilica is its grandeur and majesty, making it hard to resist its artistic charm and religious reverence.

The bronze canopy is located beneath the famous large vaulted roof in the center of the church, supported by 4 spiral copper columns. The semicircular balustrade in front is eternally lit with 99 permanent lamps, while below is the Apostolic Altar and the tomb of St. Peter, where only the Pope can celebrate Mass in front of pilgrims facing the rising sun.

The altar of St. Peter's Throne was commissioned by Bernini by Pope Alexander VII. Above the throne is a wooden chair with a glittering shrine of glory and ivory ornaments, backed by two cherubs, holding the keys to heaven and the papal triple crown. Legend has it that this wooden chair was the true throne of St. Peter.

Michelangelo's great work, the Holy Martyr, one of the Three Treasures of the Church. The Martyrdom is a great work completed by Michelangelo at the age of less than 25, in which Jesus lies in the bosom of the Virgin, who has no sad expression but is calm and peaceful. This is Michelangelo's only signed engraving. Statue of St. Peter.

Swiss Janissaries guarding the Vatican. The Swiss Praetorian Guard was established by the Pope in 1506 and its uniform is said to have been designed by Michelangelo. In addition to being a devout member of a particular Catholic region in Switzerland, the requirements are to be an unmarried man over 174 centimeters with rigorous military training.

After the Vatican tour, head out of the city and head back to Rome to visit the sights that were not completed the day before. Castello Sant'Angelo, a mausoleum built on the banks of the Tiber River, was designed and commanded 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 with a sword on the top of the fort to fight against the Black Death, which was prevalent at the time, hence the name of Castel Sant'Angelo. The bridge of Sant'Angelo across the Tiber in front of Castel Sant'Angelo is the most beautiful bridge in Rome, with 12 statues of angels, each holding a torture instrument of Jesus' torture.

Piazza Navona, claimed to be the most beautiful square in Rome. At the south end of the square there is the Moro Fountain and in the center there is the Fountain of the Four Rivers. The sculptures in the Fountain of the Four Rivers symbolize the four heavenly rivers (Danube, Nile, Pratt and Ganges) and the four corners of the known world (Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas).
