R的倫敦日常

Here comes to the last month of December, London is now full of festive decorations, Xmas tree & lights. I am in love with London again!

Last week we admired the seasonal illuminations lighting in Kew Garden, it was so festive and Kew Garden in dark was so beautiful, and it looked like a magical place. Especially the light show in Palm House which was stunning! I forgot how freezing I was and had a walk around the park for two hours?! Having mulled wine and toasted marshmallow which kept myself warm!

It's worth to spend some pounds to enjoy the night in Kew Garden!
You can directly purchase tickets via Christmas at Kew

After going to Château de Versailles, we went back to city center to shop XD and had our early dinner.  Again, we booked the table via TheFork. The restaurant was so cozy and silent, and we had a great meal there. I liked it so much as the environment was comfortable and we didn't need to be rush and that's was the best meal in this trip! We had the salmon tartare, duck breast & steak for our main dish. 

Restaurant:  Le Balm

一想到已進入冬令時間,日照時間太短和寒風刺骨的天氣,我就......而此時此刻,英國人已忙著為聖誕節作出準備,百貨公司早早就擺滿了聖誕裝飾品、換上新的櫥窗擺設。為了分散天冷帶來的沉重感覺,我開始想到歐洲濃厚的聖誕節氣氛:想起了Bond Street的聖誕燈飾、Hyde Park的Winter Wonderland、London Eye的溜冰場、和Christmas Sales,好吧,其實能做的事也很多!

聖誕燈飾
倫敦街頭如Oxford Circus、Regent Street、Sloane Square和Carnaby Street等的聖誕燈飾已預備好,並會在今個月陸續亮燈,讓4:30pm就入黑的街道都閃爍起來!



聖誕市集
早在10月,各大百貨公司就已經擺滿了各款聖誕裝飾品,而倫敦各個聖誕市集已準備就緒!除了Hyde Park的Winter Wonderland外,在倫敦還有很多聖誕市集,如Southbank Winter Festival、Tate Modern的Christmas market、Leicester Square的市集等等。

倫敦戶外溜冰場
每逢冬天倫敦很多地方都會有溜冰場,如在London Eye的Eyeskate、Hyde Park、Crystal Palace、Canary Wharf、和Hampton Court Palace等地方。我曾試過在London Eye溜冰,真的,很有氣氛!但記得要預先上網訂票啊!

I intend to cook something easier after making the roast pork belly, and luckily I can buy the fresh clams ( 100% they were from Billingsgate Market!), then I made a decision on cooking the spaghetti with clams and white wine sauce, it's easy! I added some spicy red pepper which enhanced the flavor as well. They are so tasty and I truly know what's the meaning of practice makes perfect now. 

那天我在漁檔買到新鮮蜆,承惠£12 - 1Kg。讓我很懷念在Billingsgate Fish Market的新鮮海鮮,種類多而且很便宜,只是要朝早7時要去買.........:( 但我已滿足了!
對了,還有南瓜湯。

It was not in my plan to visit Château de Versailles before I knew that my mom wanted to go. It was glad that I did enough shopping on the day before, so let's go!

After having a proper Parisian breakfast ( I though it was!), then we took metro and transferred bus No. 171 from Pont de Sèvres and got off at the last station. It took us an hour to arrive the palace.

We queued around 40 minutes to enter to the palace and I don't mind as it was summer time and I love sunshine! We bought the basic tickets which allowed us visiting the palace and part of garden? I forgot because we didn't have a walk in the garden.

Highly recommend to book tickets in advance to save the queuing time!

是次巴黎3日2夜快閃之旅原本沒有安排去凡爾賽宮,因為它在巴黎近郊,要花上一天的時間。但媽媽真的很落力推介凡爾賽宮,決定早去早回!

早上也忘了幾點出門,但我們堅持,早餐的重要性!我記得4個人的早餐花了32歐....早餐後坐Métro 9到Pont de Sèvres再轉巴士171,共一小時左右吧。

在遠處就已經看見人山人海,而我們也沒有預先上網購票,最後約40分鐘後就入去了,而我們買的票只能參觀皇宮和某部份花園。畢竟,我還要回市中心購物啊!

凡爾賽宮真的大到無朋友、宏偉、華麗、金碧輝煌,和我平時在英國看的皇宮風格截然不同。如果要走訪整個凡爾賽宮真的要花兩天!最後在出口看見花園有種終於完結的感覺!任務完成!
