日本東京 Tokyo, Japan (旅遊篇 Travel Trip)

東京日本第一大城市, 也是許多人認識日本的旅遊首選。之前有到訪東京出差幾次但還沒時間好好的享受東京氣氛。本篇分享一下在東京淺草寺, 六義園, 皇居, 成田山和富士山河口湖的旅行!

淺草寺: 雷門相信很多人都到訪過,這也是我們在旅遊中民宿的附近。

當天到達已經近乎天黑, 也讓我們看到美麗的淺草寺夜景。

東京皇居: 採預約制, 現天皇居所, 需檢查隨身物品團進團出, 建議做的功課, 全程導覽日文可下載翻譯軟體。詳細介紹可參考此網站。

東京車站就位於皇居附近

六義園: 東京知名庭園, 我們到時剛好是秋天, 有看到些美麗的楓樹對傳統日本庭園印象深刻, 詳情可參考網站。

成田山: 位於成田機場附近約10分鐘的車程, 超過1000年的成田新勝寺推薦一訪。

富士山河口湖: 從新宿出發有直達河口湖的專車約2小時左右即可到達。非常美的地方!

這次終於有時間安排一下與家人同遊東京, 不同以往的出差, 自由行的大部分時間雖然每天都非常忙碌的參訪行程, 但當然也不忘享受東京的美食與人文風景, 還很感謝家人做的旅遊事前準備功課, 很幸運才有機會看訪到蠻多需提早預訂的景點!

紐西蘭漢密爾頓10個推薦旅遊景點 Top 10 places to visit in Hamilton, New Zealand

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 05:49:06 +0000

紐西蘭漢密爾頓10個推薦旅遊景點 Top 10 places to visit in Hamilton, New Zealand

漢密爾頓毛利語"Kirikiriroa"位於奧克蘭機場以南約110公里，在旅遊城市中並不是非常知名, 卻是農產品的大集團紐西蘭恆天然總部所在地。其中最知名的展會便是在機場附近占地約160個足球場,每年６月份來自世界各地參展的南半球最大農業展Fieldays。地理位置不臨海的漢密爾頓有條非常美麗的懷卡托河流經市區,也是北島許多旅遊景點的中繼站。推薦幾個景點分享：

1. 漢密爾頓湖Lake Rotoroa 位於市中心, 環湖步道一圈約3.8公里, 是天氣晴朗時的好去處。湖景在各個時間呈現出不同的色調, 沿途還有很多紐西蘭當地的鳥兒或是候鳥居住蠻有趣的。

紐西蘭知名鳥Pukeko可在湖邊四處看見

湖邊美麗的夕陽彩霞

2. 漢密爾頓熱氣球節 Balloons Over Waikato:

每年3月份有來自世界各地的熱氣球參賽展示, 在太陽升起前已經在漢密爾頓湖邊排隊準備啟程, 吸引非常多的遊客前來。夜晚還有點亮熱氣球的活動, 但都僅限於天氣和當天風速, 需要在出發前查看大會官網確保不會撲空。

3. 漢米爾頓花園Hamilton Gardens: 離市中心開車約10分鐘的距離, 原來是垃圾掩埋場的區域, 搖身一變成為這城市最著名的觀光客必遊景點, 花園由數十個大大小小不同主題興建而成, 跟隨季節的不同, 花種樹木也會展現不同的樣貌, 非常值得花半天的時間慢慢欣賞。

4. Zealong 茶莊: 距離市中心開車約15分鐘即可到達,是當地知名的有機茶莊。創辦人帶著由台灣出產的茶葉成功移植紐西蘭, 是提供各國知名元首來時的紐西蘭國宴茶。茶莊有餐廳跟下午茶套餐需預訂, 門口也有零售部販售或品茶服務。喜歡品茗的千萬不可錯過喔!

5. 懷卡托博物館 WAIKATO MUSEUM: 坐落於市中心, 近兩年剛整修完的懷卡托博物館也建議可以停留。雖然博物館不如威靈頓的 Tepapa或奧克蘭 Domain 規模之大, 但常常會有一些趣味的特展, 樓下更是有適合親子的Exscite很適合雨天放電行程。開放時間每天上午10點-下午5點

6. BNZ Theatre BNZ 劇院 : 坐落在市中心懷卡托河邊, 斥資約8千萬紐幣改建古蹟Hamilton Hotel在今年初2026年終於開放演出。場內有提供音樂劇, 演唱會等絕佳的表演場所, 若喜歡藝文活動的也千萬別錯過官網訂票系統可以提前安排行程。

7. 漢密爾頓動物園 Hamilton ZOO: 由市區開車約15分鐘或可搭乘公車前往, 每天開放時間早上9:30 到下午4:30, 雖然動物數量不及其他大城市的動物園, 但漢米爾頓動物園可看到孔雀在步道上散步, 有個很有趣的鳥園,還可看見長頸鹿跟班馬走在草原, 整座動物園坐落在山丘上環繞很多森林樹木, 也類似在植物園裡散步很推薦進去逛逛。

8. FMG Stadium FMG 橄欖球體育場:

作為紐西蘭國民運動的橄欖球, 只要是球季全場幾乎都是風雨無阻來看球賽的球迷們。另一個鄰近市區的是附近知名的板球運動場Seddon Park。

9. Classic Car Museum 古典車博物館

喜歡古典老爺收藏車的車迷們可前往參訪, 營業時間上午8點至下午3點

10. Raglan 海邊: 離漢密爾頓市區開車約40分鐘的車程可以抵達海灘。Raglan 有幾個知名的衝浪沙灘例如:Manu Bay, Whale Bay & Indicators 和 Ngarunui Beach 有興趣的可以參考

知名的Raglan 咖啡商提供咖啡豆跟美味咖啡

漢密爾頓離哈比村約50分鐘的車程, 有興趣的可以參考"哈比村"那篇文章

漢密爾頓是一個有趣的城市, 雖然不如大城市那般精彩, 但小城市也充滿許多美麗的地方可以花時間去探索。疫情之後紐西蘭普遍經濟下滑, 加上近年戰爭油價飆漲出現了通膨現象, 在漢密爾頓時常可以見到遊民或警車出現,城市湖邊有著豪宅與社會住宅相鄰而居的景象, 若要來旅遊的遊客也建議要隨時注意安全, 下車不要把貴重物品放車上。

台灣台南 Tainan, Taiwan

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 03:06:16 +0000

台灣台南 Tainan, Taiwan

台南:台灣的文藝之都, 整個城市充滿著歷史與現代建築交錯, 走在市區有種時光交錯的幻覺。一般想到台南很多人會推薦美食和古蹟及更不可以錯過的奇美博物館。本篇主要是分享一些在台南大街小巷取景的照片, 除了著名如上圖孔廟, 赤崁樓, 美術館藝文中心, 日據時代百貨和銀行建築也非常吸引停下腳步好好觀賞荷蘭,明清時代,日本殖民至民國初年的歷史氣息。

紐西蘭懷希沙灘 Waihi Beach, New Zealand

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 04:37:54 +0000

紐西蘭懷希沙灘 Waihi Beach, New Zealand

懷希沙灘是我認為紐西蘭北島最美且乾淨的沙灘之一。地理位置在紐西蘭北島陶朗加Tauranga的上緣, 若要從漢米爾頓開車過去約1個半小時的車程, 途中會經過知名汽水 L&P 的小鎮 Paeroa ,然後會是像非常美的迷你太魯閣版的高聳山壁Karangahake Gorge, 接下來有一段半小時的九彎十八拐的彎曲山路通過後就可以抵達, 怕暈車的可以建議吃暈車藥。但之前的幾次颶風對Karangahake Gorge的山坡造成大量土石流損壞, 建議出發前要先查一下紐西蘭交通局NZTA天氣路況!

乾淨到很夢幻的沙灘

無敵大的貝殼

從民宿望出去的夕陽

在海灘騎馬好愜意

旁邊的小港

小型版太魯閣可以停下來走以前的採礦步道

如果想去一個比較沒有那麼喧囂的海灘, 非常建議去Waihi Beach走走~但幾年前有發生過有人游泳被鯊魚攻擊事件, 所以如果是要準備下去游泳的話, 要自己注意安全!因為是開放式海灘, 我們是春天去的並沒有看到任何有救生員值勤的地方!

紐西蘭陶波湖 Lake Taupo, New Zealand

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 09:18:06 +0000

紐西蘭陶波湖 Lake Taupo, New Zealand

陶波湖為紐西蘭最大的火山湖, 水域面積與新加坡國土相近。晴天時站在湖邊一眼望去, 無止盡的藍色水域, 讓人會有站在大海的錯覺。上圖為陶波湖水域的上游Huka Falls 是由冰山融化的雪水, 有著極度清澈透明的水藍色為紐西蘭最純淨的水源之一, 非常令人驚豔!千萬不可以錯過到HUKA FALLS一遊! 附近有知名的雪山和魔戒拍攝的火山場景, 有興趣的可參考LoveTaupo網站。

建議停在 Huka Falls Car park 下車僅須走5分鐘就可以看到瀑布

每秒約20萬公升的驚人水量

店名: Huka Honey Hive 裡面有各式各樣的蜂蜜製品跟蜜蜂介紹, 可以有空停留參觀

旅館

陶波湖的胡卡瀑布是我覺得紐西蘭北島最美麗跟驚人的地方, 看著數十萬清藍色乾淨無比的水源滔滔不絕地從源頭流出來感到非常震撼, 也非常佩服大自然的偉大, 若有機會別忘記前來觀賞!

紐西蘭奧托羅杭格 Otorohanga, New Zealand

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 06:45:12 +0000

紐西蘭奧托羅杭格 Otorohanga, New Zealand

奧托羅杭格 Otorohanga 小鎮有著紐西蘭知名的奇異鳥復育基地, Kiwi House 園中雖然不是很大, 但包含很多其他紐國當地的鳥種類, 是愛鳥人士不可以錯過的景點之一。附近有非常知名的螢火蟲洞穴Waitomo Cave (15分鐘車程) 和瀑布景觀Marokopa Falls Walk (50分鐘車程), 可以建議預留一天的觀光行程。

紐西蘭斯圖爾特島 Stewart Island, New Zealand

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 09:09:53 +0000

紐西蘭斯圖爾特島 Stewart Island, New Zealand

斯圖爾特島 Stewart Island為紐西蘭第三個島, 島上大部分都是國家保護區, 其中最知名是有野生的奇異鳥。這次是從紐西蘭最南邊的城市"因佛卡吉爾 Invercargill"搭乘接駁車約20分鐘抵達知名生蠔"布拉夫Bluff"海港小鎮, 從這裡出發前往斯圖爾特島需要約一個小時的船, 可以參考渡輪網站。

印象非常深刻的是, 在搭船去前往斯圖爾特島的途中, 海上飛來很多大型白色的鳥, 遠看以為是海鷗, 結果靠近才發現是傳說中的信天翁, 此種鳥展翅飛行時可以超過3公尺長, 非常驚人!

圖片來源"晴天旅遊網站" 南島但尼丁附近有"皇家信天翁培育中心"有興趣可以去參訪

第一天前往島上的海上風浪不是很大, 但回程時對不常坐船的我有驚嚇到。

建議會暈船的人要備暈船藥。回程當天據說浪高3米相當於一層樓高度, 船身不斷左右傾斜45-60度, 還好從早上起床直到搭完船程都沒有進食或喝水, 不然可能胃已經翻滾數萬次, 但轉頭看旁邊的人竟然在喝咖啡聊天並在船中行走超級佩服!

另一個選項是有提供小飛機Steward Islands Flights行程, 對有預算又不想坐渡輪的可以參考!

有個知名的小島 "ULVA Island" 非常推薦前往

ULVA 島上有野生白色的海豹在曬日光浴

旁邊有警示不要靠近野生動物超過2-3公尺, 避免驚嚇牠們被攻擊!

可以搭乘水上計程車前往ULVA ISLAND

水上計程車的船票是用樹葉做的超級環保

島上的沙攤是幾乎從來沒看過的金色與白色非常的乾淨令人驚豔

野生Weka

海岸是一覽無遺的藍色, 空氣超好

斯圖爾特島最知名的是晚上夜間奇異鳥探險之旅, 需提早報名

島上唯一的飯店跟餐廳,但只有午餐晚餐時間供餐, 建議自行從本島帶些食物
也有民宿選項可以參考

飯店外廣場可以玩的大型西洋棋

總結: 這次旅程算是一個非常特別的經驗, 有著來到一個與世無爭的世外桃源的地方, 也看到了一些城市內看不到的風景與大自然野生動物。但除了浪高跟暈船需要克服, 很推薦有機會的話來一趟喔!

紐西蘭因佛卡吉爾 Invercargill, New Zealand

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 20:47:14 +0000

紐西蘭因佛卡吉爾 (最南邊的城市) Invercargill, New Zealand (Southermost city)

費爾德維克斯大門 Feldwick Gates

"因佛卡吉爾"是位於紐西蘭最南邊的城市, 在觀光城市中似乎不是太有名, 但如果喜愛生蠔的饕客們可能會聽到"Bluff 布拉夫品種"便是由這裡附近開車20分鐘的小鎮出海採收, 然後運送至世界各地知名餐廳和各地炸魚薯條店的供貨來源。這次的旅程是因緣際會下跟著老公出差,順道來訪。

如果都已經飛到紐西蘭最南邊,千萬別錯過原來紐西蘭竟然還有第三個島"斯圖特島Stewart Island", 島上知名的是有機會看到野生的"奇異鳥Kiwi",下篇文章也會分享住在斯圖特島兩天一夜的旅程。

城市中最著名的景點"女王公園Ｑueen's Park" (詳情可以參考網站連結)
這個占地 81公頃等同於113個國際足球場大小的公園就坐立在市中心
裡面非常多森林大樹, 高爾夫球場, 遊樂場名人雕像和小型動物園

官方提到英國女皇伊莉莎白二世也曾在1953年訪問紐西蘭時造訪過此地
並在圖中的一戰紀念碑涼亭裡發表過演講

公園裡充滿芬多精的森林

住宅區造型特殊的樹

市中心充滿歷史的紅磚房

市中心的教堂建築

陰天的歷史建築感覺適合拍驚悚片

市區有很多二手骨董店

晚餐用餐的餐廳

另一間知名餐廳"Buster Crabb"提供德國知名啤酒HB
好不容易想點生蠔,結果店員竟回答說今天漁船天氣不佳沒出海.可惜囉!

The Homestead 的美味肋排

Buster Crabb 點的美味牛排套餐, 後來才發現原來網路推薦的是海鮮, 大家若有經過可以試試看

冒著風雨走到一間咖啡廳, 但可能小鎮上沒有甚麼外來觀光客, 所以一推門進去感覺到所有顧客的目光似乎停在我身上, 害我有點不自在, 但店員很熱心的幫忙點餐, 很快大家又恢復喧囂。也算是一個不平常的體驗! (不太記得是哪間咖啡廳了)

這篇文章就分享到這囉!希望喜歡~

澳洲荷巴特(塔斯馬尼亞州) Hobart, Australia (Tasmania)

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 22:48:56 +0000

澳洲荷巴特(塔斯馬尼亞州) Hobart, Australia (Tasmania)

近期整理照片, 才想起距離上次拜訪澳洲, 竟然已經是2018年的事了, 時間過得也太快了。一轉眼2026年也即將接近尾聲了!本文章要分享上次參加朋友婚禮, 應邀從墨爾本飛到塔斯馬尼亞州的首府"荷巴特", 飛機航程約80分鐘左右非常近。下飛機的第一印象是空氣非常清新, 且被這個海港城市背山面海的美麗風景所吸引。雖然是塔斯馬尼亞州的首府, 荷巴特沒有大城市的喧囂, 走在市中心有種穿越時空的錯覺, 很多建築物保留著100年前的維多利亞時期古典美, 時空像是靜止般的忘記自己是身處在21世紀, 再加上有很多博物館和美術館, 感覺連呼吸都充滿著藝文氣息!

知名的"新舊藝術博物館MONA"也是婚禮所在地
MONA是當地非常知名的現代博物館, 推薦喜愛現代藝術展品的不要錯過

從機場開到荷巴特市中心約16 分鐘左右, 圖片來源取自 Google maps

MONA 的外觀建築很有特色充分發揮光與影的美感

從側面看像是停在懸崖上的一艘郵輪

一望無際的深藍色海洋感覺心情都好起來了

第一次受邀在博物館裡參加婚宴真的超級期待

有鑑於賓客隱私這裡就分享些美食, 如果有興趣在博物館舉辦婚禮的新人們也可以自行洽詢

精美字體的姓名卡

是中西混合的泰式料理~非常美味

青木瓜沙拉

精緻起司拼盤 (在澳洲生活後, 才知道原來起司拼盤屬於菜單上飯後甜點區,好有趣!)

荷巴特的市區街景

假日市集薰衣草攤位

市中心"塔斯馬尼亞博物館 Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery"

塔斯馬尼亞有南半球最大的薰衣草農場 "Bridestowe Lavender Estate (薰衣草莊園)",
距離荷巴特開車近3小時左右, 詳請可以參考以上官網

野生的秧雞

荷巴特有很多餐廳都提供美味的生蠔, 喜愛的要記得品嘗

SULLIVANS COVE 威士忌酒廠 (澳洲18歲以上才能品酒)

海港旁的炸魚薯條攤販, 有點油但很新鮮

Sush Track : 平價美味的壽司選擇, 很可愛的店。

清酒 (18歲以上才能點酒)

因為鄰近海港, 荷巴特市中心也有許多高檔日式料理可供選擇, 如海膽沙拉或生鮮生魚片

由於這次的行程主要是參加婚禮時間較短, 所以主要是在荷巴特市中心。塔斯馬尼亞州其實是台灣大約將近1.8~2倍的大小, 有很多大自然的森林跟當年英國殖民留下的古蹟景點。

推薦大家如果想要去個短暫旅遊充充電可以考慮喔!

紐西蘭劍橋小鎮 Cambridge, New Zealand (櫻花季 Cherry Blossom)

紐西蘭劍橋小鎮 Cambridge, New Zealand (櫻花季 Cherry Blossom)

歡迎來到櫻花季!

每年春天9月至10月初左右, 位於紐西蘭懷卡托區的劍橋小鎮都會吸引來自各地的攝影愛好著, 為的就是能在這個短暫的幾周內捕捉櫻花的美麗。由於攝影主要需要良好的光線, 所以一到晴天就可以看到路邊停滿了車! 若是不巧剛好在綻放時遇到雨季, 那脆弱的櫻花便會被風掃走落在土壤。本篇分享給大家於2021年9月攝影的作品! 可以比較今年2026年10月初, 同個地點很多櫻花都已經凋榭了, 在櫻花凋零之後整個櫻花樹將會變成綠色的葉子,經過秋冬天落葉, 要等到明年春天才會重現櫻花之美~

2021/09/26攝影於劍橋市中心 Cambridge Botanical Gardens旁邊

2021/09/26攝影於劍橋私立中學大門車道入口 St. Peter's Cambridge

紐西蘭奧克蘭10個推薦旅遊景點 Top 10 places to visit in Auckland, New Zealand

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 01:30:31 +0000

紐西蘭奧克蘭10個推薦景點 Top 10 places to visit in Auckland, New Zealand

奧克蘭是紐國第一大城, 在紐人口突破五百萬之後, 約有170萬居民近全國1/3人口住在奧克蘭大都會區。由於也是大學和國際商業中心總部集中的地方, 當然也帶動房價。狹小的山坡地造成市中心租屋一房難求, 在奧克蘭的3-5坪舊公寓套房平均一週租金8千台幣(紐國租金以週計費)相當一個月3~4萬不含水電網路, 如果需要市區租車位一週約70紐幣約台幣$1400供參考。

1. Queen St 皇后街: 奧克蘭市中心最主要的吃喝購物大街, 主街上有很多商家, 我推薦後面平行小街 High St, Lorne St 裡面有很多亞洲美食和咖啡廳, (如韓國餐廳BannSang, Red Pig 燒烤, 麵包跟精緻午餐 Amano, Chuffed Cafe, 甜點 Miann Britomart) 。

如果要進去市區的話建議搭乘大眾運輸, 除了停車位難找, 市中心很多單行道,步行街或公車專用道, 如果開錯或誤闖交通警察可能會直接開單罰款。 2026年9月份終於等到快建10年的市中心電車通車了, 詳情可參考 "City Rail Link" 官網

圖取自 City Rail Link 官網

2. Sky tower 天空之塔: 奧克蘭城市最高的建築物地標,上方圓形部分為觀景台附有極限運動和餐廳, 樓下為賭場和飯店, 魔界特效團隊維塔工作室在裡面也開放了一個新的旅遊探險景點, 可參考 "Weta Workshop Auckland" 進行預約訂票。

可以一邊享用美食一邊看外面的極限運動, 感覺比看世界盃足球賽更刺激!

市區就可以高空彈跳

不怕高的可以報名沿著高塔外圍步行

奧克蘭的海港景色

3. 藏在市中心商業建築裡的 Elliot Stables Auckland CBD 西方美食街, 地址: 39-41 Elliot street

4. Britomart 火車總站和 Ferry Building 渡輪大廈: 每年夏天旺季, 都有非常多來自澳洲和世界各地的遊輪停靠在此。渡輪大廈可以搭乘渡輪船隻前往附近幾個島嶼。之前上班的店家就面對海, 很有趣的可以看到郵輪緩緩地開進港停在眼前。

對面就是Rangitoto 火山島

5. Half Moon Bay半月灣: 作為世界帆船之都, 可以在各個奧克蘭很多個海岸, 看到要價不菲的遊艇跟帆船。

6. Rangitoto Island 火山島一日遊: 可以由渡輪大廈搭船前往, 切記帶夠飲用水和必須注意船班時間, Rangitoto本島上沒有任何人居住或店家,錯過就無法回到市中心。旁邊的Motutapu島嶼可以露營, 有興趣的可以研究!

8. Cornwall park 康沃爾公園 (紐國清境農場): 離市中心開車15分鐘左右的大自然農場,, 可以看到很多綿羊,春天還有櫻花節, 活動詳情可以參考官網

山坡上是一個休眠火山地形, 可以遙望奧克蘭市區景色

One Tree Hill 毛利人方尖碑聖地

9. Auckland Zoo 奧克蘭動物園: 很推薦有模擬奇異鳥生態的暗房, 建議停留10分鐘聽聽看看能不能遇到紐西蘭國寶"Kiwi" 奇異鳥。這次去剛好遇到恐龍特展, 喜愛恐龍的大人小孩不要錯過。園區有很多票種也有年票, 蠻大的建議預留一天的行程。

開放時間每天上午9:30am-下午4:30pm

地址: Motions Rd, Western Springs。

Kea 紐西蘭一種智商很高的鸚鵡, 目前僅存在南島。
聽說好奇心很強會去破壞車子或巴士的輪胎

關於Kea的解說

10. Motat 奧克蘭交通博物館: 在動物園旁邊,有前後兩區可以坐軌道電車接駁, 後面整區是航空飛機, 建議留一整天。

開放時間每天上午10點到下午4點 (3:30最後入園)

地址: 805 Great North Road & 98 Motions Road, Western Springs

紐西蘭哈比村(魔戒電影場景) Hobbiton Movie Set, New Zealand

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Sun, 04 Oct 2026 03:35:30 +0000

紐西蘭哈比村 (魔戒電影場景, 需預約跟團入場)

Hobbiton Movie Set, New Zealand (Bookings essential)

紐西蘭有非常多的天然資源, 經常吸引世界各地的遊客絡繹不絕來訪。

但其中一個最知名的國際景點, 竟然是由人工打造的就是電影魔戒拍攝的場景 - "哈比村"(官網)

本次是二度造訪, 距離上次應該有七年的時間了。價格也由當年2.5小時的團費從紐幣$99漲到$130 紐幣約台幣$2,600, 但11~17歲半價, 目前11歲以下免費, 有提供少數中文團, 全程必須預約制採巴士團進團出, 連免費票也須預約確保巴士有位置。

幾個提醒注意事項

1) 建議提早半小時到達, 因為需提前15分鐘報到, 並帶足自己的飲用水跟防曬, 紐西蘭因為臭氧破洞紫外線很強, 大人小孩都要擦防曬, 因為是露天場景要是晴天會蠻曬的。

2) 出發前如果想補給, 可以在紀念品樓上的咖啡廳買點吃的。店員會跟你詢問巴士時間因為餐點準備需要時間, 建議早點點餐也可以外帶咖啡跟食物上巴士吃(約10-15分鐘車程)

3) 進園區下車後便是2.5小時的導覽步行行程,中途沒有洗手間, 建議上巴士前先使用洗手間。

4) 最後在綠龍酒吧出來前, 會有10-15分鐘的休息廁所, 團費包含一杯免費飲料跟可自費買吃的。

由於哈比村大部分的門背後都是空的, 很多電影裡的室內場景都是分開在棚內或其他地方拍的。2023年後有新開一個室內場景, 一團會分成兩組進去兩個不同的房間, 裡面所有的道具都超級可愛並且可以觸碰拍照。但因為時間有限約一個房間可停留15分鐘, 因為後面團會直接接上。建議大家可以先找最喜歡的幾樣東西抓緊時間拍照!

哈比人廚房

大蒜

水果蔬菜

櫻桃

餐具

火爐

樂器

遊戲裝飾

綠龍酒莊:
最後可以停留坐一下10-15分鐘點一杯免費有酒精(18歲以上)或無酒精(薑汁汽水)的飲料

喝完飲料結束後便可以跟隨領隊回到下車點坐大巴回停車場

這個農場是屬於亞歷山大家族, 當年導演彼得傑克森在坐直升機探勘魔戒拍攝場景時, 農場中的一棵大樹吸引了他的目光, 毅然決定在這裡開拍。據說拍攝期間有數百上千個工作人員和露營車在農場紮營, 包含供給食物道具換裝跟演員休息的場所, 浩浩蕩蕩的很熱鬧! 值得一提的是,拍攝的時候因為講究細節的導演, 覺得農場的綿羊顏色不對而從別處運過來。農場目前還在運行中, 只有哈比村區域圍起來供觀光使用

參觀完心得

比較2019年的因為自2023年後有新增加兩個室內景點可以走入電影場景觸摸所有道具, 而且細緻度很好, 大人小孩都玩的超級開心。
但推嬰兒車加坡度蠻大的, 而且走道都很狹窄, 比想像中的更耗體力@@有小孩的話, 建議用背巾或能自己下來行走, 但要小心步道蠻窄的,旁邊有些坡有點陡且沒有護欄!
另一個是因為預約的時候很難預測天氣, 要是當天遇到下雨會都是泥巴, 要準備雨鞋。
這次是陰雨天已經蠻幸運了, 因為天氣預報是下雨的,大部分晴天照片是使用2019年天氣好時拍的!
這次旅程就分享到這了, 有興趣的可以上他們哈比村官網或其他旅遊網站。或看他們有含用餐點或特別節慶的行程喔!

紐西蘭羅托魯瓦 Rotorua, New Zealand

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 04:17:13 +0000

紐西蘭羅托魯瓦 Rotorua, New Zealand

一個會冒煙的城市 A city full of many active volcanoes

這個城市應該是紐西蘭北島非常知名的旅遊勝地, 除了整個城市都是活火山之外, 有幾個熱門景點推薦大家有空來走走:

1. 紅樹林 Red Wood Forest

在森林裡面可以享受無盡的芬多精, 再加上免門票, 短的散步行程10-30分鐘, 長至健行步道可以徒步或騎越野腳踏車數小時, 更特別的是有專屬的騎馬步道。若你享受大自然又不必開到深山裡, 森林離羅托魯瓦市中心開車10分鐘, 步道很平穩在停車場旁邊, 適合全家大小來旅遊, 唯一缺點不適合在森林裡推嬰兒車因為樹枝非常多。也可以參加付費行程"Tree Walk"在樹中間穿梭。

2 市中心的溫泉博物館花園是免費的, 很可惜的是博物館建築本體因為地震原因目前還在修繕中, 預計2027/2028才會重新開放, 但如果天氣好,很值得停下來照相野餐散散步

2026年拍攝

2018年拍攝

右邊的橘色建築是早期的溫泉大眾泡湯池, 目前已經關閉, 但可以從外圍看一下建築外觀, 讓我聯想到冰與火影集裡面的場景

3. 纜車 Skyline Gondola: 可以搭乘約10-15分鐘登頂享受羅托魯瓦的市區及火山湖全景, 上面還有很好玩的斜坡滑車 Luge 跟知名午餐晚餐吃到飽需要預訂。但疫情之後票價已經快漲到翻倍了, 目前上去一趟來回約紐幣 $50 建議如果有常來或喜歡坐纜車的遊客可以買年票 (通常8月份會特價,可以留意) 一年約 $99 大概是纜車兩次票價, 年票上去斜坡滑車跟咖啡廳或用餐都可以打折, 最划算的是因為可以在南島皇后鎮的纜車上使用 (單次來回約紐幣$62約台幣$1千2百)因為是同公司, 所以在年票有效期間可以無限兩個城市通用, 除了南島皇后鎮飲食跟斜坡滑車Luge沒有折扣外, 但終究很划算, 可以參考!

纜車頂端一覽無遺羅托魯瓦的市區及火山湖景

如果有計畫玩斜坡滑車的遊客, 這裡提醒心理準備要坐一種蠻陽春的鐵椅回到上面, 如果有懼高症的人可能要先評估一下會不會害怕, 因為唯一的安全措施是椅子的護欄

4. 3D 畫廊藝術館 (請參考連結)裡面很多拍照的好玩大人小孩都玩得很開心 😊

5. 喜歡看綿羊跟羊駝的話, 很推薦艾爾頓皇家農場 Agrodome 可以看羊毛秀, 和坐著托引機去農場近距離跟綿羊和羊駝接觸餵食! 很可愛的行程, 但建議要晴天或陰天不然可能需要穿雨鞋!

6. 午餐或晚餐過後若喜歡泡溫泉的, 也千萬別錯過世界有名的溫泉池 Polynesian Spa, 推薦大眾池因為空間很足有很多不同的溫度可以選擇, 但如果有小孩的只能去家庭池或 VIP 池, 空間較擠

(照片可見官網)

7. 喜歡美食的也別錯過經典麵包店巧巴達咖啡廳 Ciabatta Cafe (周日周一休息), 推薦酥脆的蘋果派跟美味熱狗堡, 吃起來很像德國口味的麵包!

日式餐廳"Yamato"可以吃到很新鮮的生魚片壽司, 價格在疫情後也漲了不少, 但品質還不錯
地址: 1123 Pukuatua Street, Hillcrest, Rotorua 營業時間中午12-2點;晚上5:30-8:30pm 周一公休

當然還有非常多的美食, 在此就不一一介紹~ 希望以上分享會喜歡! 下篇文章見囉!

紐西蘭奧克蘭戰爭博物館-帕奈爾區 Auckland Domain Museum, New Zealand ( Parnell region)

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Mon, 23 Aug 2021 05:21:00 +0000

紐西蘭奧克蘭博物館區 Auckland Museum, New Zealand (帕奈爾區 Parnell region)

本文創作期間是在紐西蘭2021年8月起，今年第一次再度全國封城。由於今年4 月起紐澳邊境開放不需要隔離。很多遊客商旅各自來往頻繁，直到8月澳洲發生社區群聚事件目前雪梨在的新南威爾州平均一天約800起案例; 墨爾本更在上周有約4千人上街抗議封城且蓄意不戴口罩。總總時空背景下，紐奧克蘭在上週發生第一起Delta病毒出現在奧克蘭北岸社區。

紐總理在第一起社區感染後，24小時內宣布紐進入第四級及最高級的封城，除了必要工作者其餘人只能在家上班或去超市且強制戴口罩 (在此之前約近一年，除了大眾交通和國內航班須戴口罩和QRcode追蹤外，紐人民生活一貫如一沒有甚麼跟疫情發生前差別太大) 。

今天要介紹的這區是上個月去奧克蘭一天來回的火車小旅遊。回到了之前住了兩年的城市。感到既熟悉又陌生，部分商家因店租或疫情已熄燈，但也有一些新的購物中心完成並吸引大多人潮。(此景為帕奈爾區離奧克蘭市中心約3公里，地勢較高可俯瞰街景)

此建築位於 Parnell 主要街上是 1929 年建成的 MAY FAIR高檔住宅公寓

另一棟紅磚建築名為 "Winsor Castle" 和英女王的城堡同名

公園的一角很有藝術氣息

這間是5年前用餐過的日本平價餐館, 很驚喜竟然還在繼續營業
找了一下入口位於地下室, 樓上是Paper Plus 書店

分量十足的唐楊炸雞

兩人的份量約台幣7-800元 (若在日式餐廳可能2-3倍價位) 有稍鹹但大致很不錯

巧克力店

名人銅雕, 似乎是因為這位先生才有這麼多花園小徑

很吸引目光的1857年建造的石屋, 曾是英國教堂牧師的居住所，現為博物館

博物館正面照

奧克蘭戰爭紀念博物館於1929年開放，室內有三層摟館藏中西方文物

從博物館前門可遙望奧克蘭市中心一望無際的海景

很雄偉的歐式建築，讓我聯想到義大利的萬神廟

寸土寸金的奧克蘭有這麼一片占地75公頃的綠地(相當75個足球場)，當地居民真的很幸福喔!

以前元宵燈會的場所，曾經在這裡展出約數百的花燈開放至晚上10點, 目前已經改至其他地方

館藏大象-很像我們台北的林旺爺爺

毛利文化的聖殿也在博物館一樓有個相似的館藏，話說紐西蘭的毛利族跟台灣阿美族竟是同源

洗手間外的可愛鈴鐺裝飾

在博物館附近有一片紅磚建築，有著私立學校, 也有很多私立醫療機構

New Market 的德式啤酒屋, 也許夏天再來試試

本次前往奧克蘭的交通工具是-火車 (斥資紐國政府15億台幣的鐵路更新計畫終於完成)

紐西蘭泰唔士 Thames, New Zealand

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Mon, 19 Jul 2021 05:48:00 +0000

紐西蘭泰唔士 Thames, New Zealand

金礦遺跡參觀官網 Goldmine Experience Homepage

紐西蘭有個城鎮，跟流經英國倫敦和劍橋的河流有著一樣的名字。即便這個城鎮在今天已經漸漸沒落人口外移。在19世紀初，這裡可是紐國數一數二的大城市跟但尼丁不相上下，蓬勃發展的原因跟許多掏金城市相似，因金礦而大起大落。但吸引我的地方是，即便人口不如以往的多，但市區遍地的歷史建築林立，彷彿坐著時光機回到百年前，建築們各自訴說著人們的故事!

While one of the most famous river in the world named Thames which flows through Oxford and London in England. Similarly, there is a town called Thames where locates in the Coromandel region on the top of North Island in New Zealand. Perhaps, there are not many people have ever been there before, however it was one of the biggest Gold-mining city in New Zealand in the end of the 19th century. By visiting those historical locations in the town centre, it seems like we were taking the time machine back to the hundred years ago.

Very impressive classic building used to be a Thames library, now turns into Treasury for Historical and family research centre. More details can see Treasury website

本棟精美的白色建築，在當年是鎮上的圖書館。現今作為歷史國庫研究中心，可供民眾調閱歷史地圖，家族相簿等等。詳情開放時間可參考官網史料國庫官網

參觀金礦遺址

雖然市中心並不大，但超過20棟100年以前的建築。對於喜好古蹟探索的遊客來說，值得推薦。除此之外，有幾個觀光景點是有關於當年挖礦的遺跡比如第一張照片的礦區。本照片的水井房博物館建於1896年，利用河水來過濾沙子而進而掏出金質沙地。都是當地義工來解說，門票都捐為維護古蹟費用。

Even though Thames is not a big town nowadays, however there are plenty of the classic architectural buildings surround near the town centre. For those who enjoy visiting heritages do not forget to reserve sometime to visit them. This Pump house museum runs by all the volunteers with a small entry fee which donate to the local council for maintaining the historic side.

鎮上的旅館 Accommodation in the town

St James Church view 教堂一景

當年的商會，目前有商店租賃。Previous Chambers, now a shop

古蹟建築咖啡廳 Historical building now a Cafe'

這棟很有歷史的紅磚教堂讓我聯想起義大利的古建築
This classic bricks made church reminds me of the historic heritage in Italy

Police station back then, now a private property 當年的警察局，現今為私人住房

Old Courthouse 以前的法院

超美的紫色花朵 Amazing purple flowers all over the place

第一次看到採礦學校 First time ever seen mining school "Thames School of Mines"

鎮上的火車站，對於運送金礦來說是很重要的運輸管道

Coast walkway 濱海的散步道

當地人推薦的美味炸魚薯條，還有海景的咖啡廳，地點可參考以下網址

紐西蘭辛普利茅斯 New Plymouth, New Zealand

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Thu, 01 Jul 2021 10:20:00 +0000

紐西蘭辛普利茅斯 (北島西海岸)

New Plymouth, New Zealand (West Coast of North Island)

藍天白雲讓人自覺的拋空了一切煩惱
Spectacular beach view makes people almost forget the pandemic still happening

話說紐西蘭有一座火山狀似日本的富士山。這是今年2021年1月份突發奇想的旅行。經歷過去年封城後，終於踏出離家約200公里遠外的城市，在此分享一下在辛普利茅斯的三天兩夜遊。
辛普利位於紐西蘭北島的西海岸，離漢米爾頓約235公里(近3小時的車程)。後面一小時的山路有點像台北-宜蘭的九彎十八拐，會暈車的人可能建議在中間小鎮 Te Kuiti 蒂顧伊蒂休息一下。
除了開車前往之外，也可以從奧克蘭轉國內班機約50分鐘的航程即可抵達。

You may heard there is a volcanic mountain in New Zealand that looks like Mt Fuji in Japan. Well, this is the right place to view Mt Taranaki which is located in the Taranaki region (West coast in North Island). It takes around 3 hours to drive from Hamilton, however only 50mins flight from Auckland domestic airport. The New Plymouth airport is also quite close to the city center, less than 15 mins drive.

一望無際的藍，提醒了我當年在南法尼斯和摩納哥見到得蔚藍海岸
Endless blue sea remind me of the French Riviera near Nice and Monaco

冬天的火山雪景也是滑雪勝地，照片來源取自當地媒體"Stuff"

13公里海濱自行車道 - 有些旅館提供免費2小時自行車租借
New Plymouth Coastal Walkway 13 km
(It is possible to borrow free bikes from motel. Check availability)

Pukekura Park 市中心公園 (面積約52個足球場)

這個城市出發前我們並沒有做很多功課，想說到了再看看! 碰巧遇到當地市中心公園占地52公頃一年一度的燈光秀,免費入場。非常令人驚喜的地方!

As it was a spontaneous trip, we didn't plan to organize anything specific. However, it was a really nice surprise to find out there was the biggest night light show at central Pukekura Park (52 ha) so impressive to wander around and discover all the hidden lighting displays!

OZONE Cafe' Top Quality Coffee Beans in New Zealand

個人推薦前三名的紐西蘭咖啡品牌

這個品牌有機咖啡豆，建立１９９８年，總部在這裡。目前已成功進軍英國市場。在紐國也異業合作和知名麵包店Ｖｏｌａｒｅ合作。
The brand established in 1998 in New Plymouth, is where the main Head Office is currently located. Apart from that, they've already successfully opened their shop in London, England and also work with famous bakery "Volare" in New Zealand to supply their beans.

Main entrance looks like a warehouse while walking pass　
不起眼的咖啡廳入口，有點像倉庫

Surprise! Attractive food selections from the counter
有別於一般咖啡廳的美味鹹食種類頗精緻

Tupare Garden 突裴瑞花園

這是一座耗時12年才建成的私人莊園，不收門票免費參觀，1930年在英國商人馬修夫妻的蜜月旅行後，他們決定在這修建自己的莊園。裡面有英式房屋，網球場，沿路各種花色的繡球花非常之美麗! 此莊園在2002年由英女皇基金會贈送給當地的區政府來管轄，供民眾參觀辦活動。

Tupare Garden used to be private owned by Mrs. and Mr. Matthew family. It was built in 1930 after their honeymoon in England and the USA, and it took 12 years to complete. It is free of charge. There is a cottage, tennis court along with all the colorful and magnificent hydrangeas.

Looks like a cottage in novels 看起來像在小說中出現的房子

Inside the cottage, a study desk and living space 小屋內的書桌和有特色的客廳

紐西蘭皇后鎮 Queenstown, New Zealand

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Tue, 20 Oct 2020 08:07:00 +0000

紐西蘭皇后鎮/箭鎮/米佛峽灣 Queenstown, Arrowtown and Milford Sound in New Zealand

夢幻的風景 Dream View

本次旅行是從奧克蘭出發的小蜜月旅行。時間點在結束了店長的工作，開始了奧克蘭租房仲介業協助管理130間租房，第一次跑紐法院上法庭和周工作時數超過65小時，但也學到了許多知識。去皇后鎮是得來不易的假期作為一個短暫休息。沒想到數周後，公司的員工旅遊也選擇了這個地方。這篇文章是綜合兩次的旅遊體驗整理而成的，所有照片都是我的攝影可以點擊放大!

紐西蘭的國土面積分為北島與南島，加起來約是台灣的七倍大。總人口五百萬人，近鄰國澳洲的第二大城墨爾本。今天要介紹的皇后鎮位於南島中央是紐西蘭的觀光重鎮。皇后鎮為旅遊業每年帶來三百萬的觀光人潮。除了國際觀光客，也是當地人的冬季滑雪勝地。附近開車45分鐘左右有知名的滑雪場，除此之外也是高空彈跳的發源地。郊外還有酒莊行程可供參考。

New Zealand (Aotearoa in Maori) is a country located in the Southwestern Pacific Ocean which consists of two main islands. Although it is a small country compared to its neighbour Australia, New Zealand is about 7 times bigger than Taiwan. Queenstown (in the center of the South Island) attracts more than 3 million tourists to the country every year.

我們是五月底時從奧克蘭出發，飛行時間約兩小時即可抵達。南半球的氣候與北半球相反，冬季為六、七和八月，反而是台灣和其他北半球國家的仲夏。記得出遊時要準備好適合的衣物。以下就讓讀者們慢慢享受皇后鎮的美境，希望大家未來有機會親自來體會這個視覺饗宴。

It takes around two hours to fly to Queenstown from Auckland. For people who enjoy adventures, "Kawarau Bridge Bungy", the world's first commercial bungy jump, is 43 metres high. Also, "The Remarkables" skiing mountain is only 45 mins drive from central Queenstown. There are many Winery tours available to join in Gibbston Valley. However in this article, I will only introduce Queenstown, Arrowtown and Milford Sound. Hopefully New Zealand's border will be opened again soon, so you can all come to experience this magnificent place for yourselves.

可以俯瞰覆蓋在山陵線上的雪景 Snow mountain ledges.

皇后鎮的瓦卡蒂菩湖景 Lake Wakatipu View (本人最愛的攝影照 My favorite photograph)

如畫般靜止的美景 Stunning View (紐西蘭第三大湖 3rd biggest lake in NZ)

高山纜車 Skyline Gondola (查詢最新價格與開放時間 Check the updated price and opening hours )坐纜車上山除了可以享受獨一無二的遙望皇后鎮美景，很多遊客推薦的知名午晚餐吃到飽Buffet 也吸引了很多人前來享用(建議先預訂)。山上有雪橇滑板車，是我第一次在紐西蘭嘗試。速度比想像中的快，即便我的手已戴了手套也快凍僵，但真的很刺激好玩! 此公司在北島羅托魯瓦(知名溫泉和毛利文化觀光園區的城市)也有纜車和雪橇滑車，但景色跟皇后鎮的山湖景有些差異，很推薦那裏的雪橇車道比皇后鎮長且是在森林裡不斷穿梭很有趣。

Queenstown Gondola is one of the best places to enjoy the views of the lakes, mountains and city. If you have spare time, many people also recommend trying the lunch or dinner buffet; it is a well-known restaurant with great views (booking essential). There is also a luge ride at the top of the mountain - it was my first time riding a luge, and it was very exciting and fun (although my hands were freezing!). Skyline Gondola has another luge ride in the North Island in Rotorua. If you get a chance I suggest to go to that luge too as the Rotorua forest track is even longer and more exciting.

約10分鐘即可到達山頂 Around 10 mins trip to go up

市區街景和吃喝推薦 City Tourist Spots

1) 菲格漢堡店官網Fergburger 這是第一間我看過在紐西蘭營業超過12小時的漢堡店。除了連鎖店以外，營業時間: 8am-4am。有絡繹不絕的遊客，比臉還大的漢堡。知名饕客推薦"鹿肉漢堡"，我個人嘗試了牛肉，很多汁但要趁新鮮吃因為漢堡麵包容易濕掉。隔壁的菲格麵包店是同個集團，超級推薦酥脆美味的可颂，店氣氛也讓我聯想起在德國麵包店的情景。

Fergburger is recommended by almost everyone in the town. The signature burger is venison, however I tried the beef one which was very tasty. You definitely need to eat it fresh and hot, before the sauce soaks into the bread. The next door Fergbaker is also a must try, I have bought some croissants and they are crunchy outside and moist inside. So yummm. Don't miss it.

店門口 Shop front view (一般排隊時間30分到1小時 average waiting line 0.5 to 1 hr)

店內很多名人到訪　Many celebrities have visited the shop

終於買到的戰利品 Can't wait to try

聯想到美味的德國麵包店 These breads reminded me of some yummy bakeries in Germany

2) 美味豬肋排Flame Grill 　

這家美味的美式餐廳是我們在市區遊晃想找午餐時的意外發現。很多部落客和旅遊網的推薦，它位於二樓。餐點送來後，份量真的很足夠，且非常美味，肋排要吃的是有些湯汁的口感，感覺比一些連鎖店更美味。饕客千萬不可錯過(午餐有時候有特惠)。

We found this nice restaurant while we were wandering in the town and looking for a lunch place. It is located upstairs and was a really nice surprise. Sometimes they provide lunch specials. Foodies should definitely try their ribs which are very tender and juicy.

超美味的美式份量豬肋排 American-style Pork Ribs

3) 精緻甜點巧克力咖啡店官網 Patagonia Chocolate Ice Cream Shop

轉角遇到＂它＂，有著歐式古堡和現代的外觀超吸睛，一進去後發現有如精品的甜點和獲獎無數的冰淇淋，更令我驚呀的是如泉水般的巧克力不斷流出。熱愛甜點的人千萬不可錯過！

This classic dessert shop is located in the center of town. The outside of the building combines modern and ancient architecture. Award-winning ice creams and non stop running chocolates are an amazing way to finish a day. Definitely a must stop shop if you are a big sweet tooth like me.

箭鎮 Arrowtown

19世紀著名的掏金鎮，當年住了許多華人礦工移民和歐洲聞風而來的掏金客。距離皇后鎮約20分鐘的車程。現在市區留下了當年的古蹟建築和一些歷史的氣息。彷彿坐了時光機回到200年前的過去，適合花點時間慢步走在市區細細享受。

Arrowtown was a famous gold mining town in the 19th century, where many Chinese and European migrants lived. There are many historic buildings left behind from that period, which are worth taking some time to enjoy while walking in the town. It takes about 20 mins driving from Queenstown.

博物館 Museum

郵局 Post Office

Remarkable Sweet Shop美國英式甜點牛奶糖 Fudge

米佛峽灣 Milford Sound

(世界文化遺產和魔戒取景 World Heritage site & part of Lord of Ring scenes )

由於米佛峽灣的車程離皇后鎮約288公里，光車程來回就約8小時，建議預留一天的時間。我們報名了一日遊的團，早上7點從飯店門口接駁出發，晚上7點左右回到飯店。司機一路上會幫我們介紹跟停留一些景點含船上自助午餐。蠻推薦跟團的因為大部分是山路，冬天路上會有一點冰，自駕須小心。

We took a day tour (booking essential). Milford Sound is quite far from Queenstown, about 288 km one way. You will need to reserve a full day if you want to go. We were picked up at 7 am and returned to the hotel 7 pm. The whole journey took around 12 hours which included a couple of stops and a lunch buffet on the cruise ship.

本次我們搭乘的渡輪 Our Ferry for Milford Sound

終於看到峽灣美景-巧遇海豚在船邊游泳!
Great View finally - we were lucky to see some dolphins swimming next to us!

路上美景 Amazing view on the road

地理課本中出現的U型谷就出現在眼前，由於冰河的移動而切割型的峽谷 (U-shaped valleys)

格林洛奇小鎮 Glenorchy

魔戒迷的必訪地，但我們只有短暫停留沒有參加團。有興趣的可以參考其他部落客詳細的文章介紹。

再見皇后鎮期待很快再見面! Goodbye Queenstown, hopefully can see you again soon ~

日本沖繩 Okinawa, Japan

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Fri, 09 Oct 2020 03:28:00 +0000

日本沖繩縣 Okinawa, Japan

2020年應該是歷史上難忘的一年，期許所有人都能更珍惜這份得來不易的自由和健康，離上篇文章一轉眼已經好幾年了，今天要跟大家分享日本沖繩的四天三夜自由行。

希望在疫情過後，大家又能回到那個想飛就飛的時光! (本篇文章照片和圖片可以點擊放大)

The year 2020 will be unforgettable due to the pandemic. Hopefully after the lockdowns are finished everyone will have a greater appreciation for their own freedom and health. I hope the ones who still suffer from the diseases can recover soon, and people can feel free to travel again. (The images provided in this article can be enlarged by clicking)

English map source (storymaps.arcgis) 沖繩本島地圖

樂桃航空 Peach Airline 第一次看到航空餐點有大版燒，有興趣的可以自費嚐嚐，台北-沖繩的飛行時間僅1個半小時，很適合帶長輩幼童出遊的地方。2人含一件20公斤行李的來回機票約台幣1萬1，早鳥班機可能更便宜僅供參考。

The trip only takes 1.5 hours to fly from Taipei, which is a comfortable distance for a family vacation with kids or older relatives. The flight cost for 2 adults plus one 20kg suitcase is around USD$350 return (prices may vary based on the season and/or promotions).

機場過完安檢就有租車公司舉牌在門口等
A person from the rental car company will be waiting outside customs

沖繩旅遊票卷: 出關領取行李後可以在櫃檯選購，我們買4個景點+1水族館，兩人台幣$2300或提早網路購買票卷詳情可參考 KKday

Okinawa travel pass: We picked 1 Aquarium ticket + 4 other attractions. This cost USD$80 for two people. For more details and options you can go to the website KLOOK.

旅來網租車 Rental Car "Tabirai" Tabirai 沖繩租車網站

72小時網路預訂台幣 $3,300 在櫃檯再加全險合計3天約$4,500

網站提供左駕說明和日本租車使用的國際駕照，提醒出發前要辦理好，取車時油箱是滿的所以還車時也必須加滿油才開回租車公司，要預留還車等待接駁車回機場的時間，沖繩的導航是使用一串代碼，如果輸入地點會找不到，要記得把地圖上提供的MAP Code設定好再出發
Renting a car costs around USD$150 with full insurance cover for a 3 day deal. Remember you must have your international driver license ready before arrival. Also, you need to reserve enough time to refill the gas, before returning the car and taking the shuttle back to the airport. When driving in Okinawa, navigation uses MAP Code instead of address; make sure you set up the MAP Code before departing. The MAP codes can be found in most travel maps.

陪伴我們這次旅程的夥伴 Our Company for the trip

國際通: 機場附近有知名的Shopping 一條街也有唐吉珂德。
午餐時刻我們隨意走入了一間燒肉店八重山，單點的價格不菲但品質有保證。
"Kokusai dori" is the main shopping street near the airport, with plenty of restaurants and souvenir shops. After a short break for lunch we drove to our hotel for check in.

美國村飯店 Vessel Campana Hotel

連續3晚都待在這，頂樓有浴場供住客免費使用，可惜戶外泳池沒開放(須付費)，由於冬天淡季，房價約台幣$3500一晚含自助早餐吧，很不錯的選擇，旺季房價會貴上1.5~2倍。

We stayed at Vessel Campana Hotel, which is walking distance to the American Village. I highly recommend to soak in the thermal pools in the hotel. The well-known outdoor swimming pool (paid service) was unfortunately not open as we were there in Winter. The price, which included buffet breakfast for two, was around USD$120 per night (the price can double during the peak season).

隔天一早出發前往車程近2小時，沖繩的高速要收費，記得上高速時要走現金道。

提到這當初會想去沖繩就是看了夢多的夢想成真沖繩遊，想去浮潛...沒想到冬天不太適合..哈哈!

Next morning, we drove to see the Ocean Tower on Love Island. The view of the wonderful blue sea from the tower was breathtaking. This is definitely a must visit spot.

貝殼博物館 Shell Museum

第一次在日本自駕遊， 道路比起台灣或紐西蘭都來的窄，海岸限速60km/h,，在前往北區海岸線約花了近2小時，由於很多郊區晚上沒有路燈，建議要預留回程時間或可以預訂北區飯店。

The speed limits for the country/coast road is 60km/h, and the road is quite narrow compared to Taiwan and New Zealand. In many places there are no road lights after sunset, so make sure to plan plenty of time to get back to the city before it gets too dark.

便利超商Lawson 我最愛的休息站，幾乎每10公里就有一間，提供現炸熱食飲料&乾淨無比洗手間，大部分門口有停車場，建議自駕累的時候，一定要休息補給精神再出發。

Lawson is a convenience store with delicious hot food and super clean restrooms, and is a great place for taking a break. Driving in Okinawa can be tricky after sunset, make sure to have a rest if you feel tired.

海洋博公園官網: 本門票包含在套票，入口處可以觸摸海星，裡面也有很多鯊魚含其他熱帶魚類。雖然沒有浮潛到,，但走在這個巨型的水族館也很令人難忘，推薦花點時間慢慢享受，園區後面還有海豚表演，但我們因為時間因素沒有停留，如果都要參觀完建議要預留半天時間。

紐西蘭內皮爾 Napier, New Zealand

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Wed, 09 Nov 2016 02:01:00 +0000

紐西蘭內皮爾 (豪克斯灣區_北島東海岸)
Napier, New Zealand (Hawkes Bay Region _ East Coast in North Island)

在奧克蘭忙碌一陣子後, 終於有個休息機會。計畫來個三天兩夜遠離塵囂的小旅行
想玩又不想舟車勞頓之下, 上網做了些功課，發現紐西蘭捷星網站 Jetstar 有優惠好康。
上篇"威靈頓篇" 有介紹紐西蘭航空相關優惠, 可以參考。
Within some promotions they did offer on Jetstar website, we found that there is a great deal to fly to Napier, the place we have never been before. So, why not? One good thing about lives in Auckland is there are plenty of domestic flight deals or even sometimes Australian deals people can choose from and quite easy to get to the airport through Sky bus about an hour trip from city center.

After being working for a while in Auckland, we were thinking to get away for a long weekend trip.

紐西蘭國內機票 Domestic Flights in New Zealand

提前計畫旅行的好處就是, 可以找到去內皮爾Napier (離奧克蘭飛行1小時, 但開車400公里的距離) ，優惠價含稅一人來回奧克蘭約紐幣NZ$80, 換算台幣2千有找的機票。排好假期就等時間到囉, 搭乘SKY Bus 從市區出發前往奧克蘭機場-國內航廈, 機場距離市中心約20公里, 一般約40分鐘, 但容易堵車建議提早出發。(文章最下方有三種從奧克蘭市區前往機場的大眾運輸方式, 提供參考!!!)

The flight tickets we found cost about NZ$80 including return per adult and it only takes an hour from Auckland domestic airport to Napier. By car, it may need to drive around 400km. So flight is pretty much a better and economic efficient choice we made for a short three days weekend without planning too much in advance. The sky city bus leaves every 20 or 30 mins from Auckland city centre and takes around 40 mins ride to reach to the airport without traffic jam, but I strongly recommend more time reserved in advance especially motorway in Auckland can get super busy quickly if you don't want to risk missing the flights.

前往內皮爾的空照圖 Heading to Napier _Sky view

出發前對內皮爾Napier僅有的印象, 聽說是紐西蘭3大知名酒莊區 HawkesBay 豪克斯灣區。也上FB諮詢了一些紐西蘭的前輩，但因為想要一個輕鬆的旅程,不想要做太多事前計畫, 就決定一切隨機遇囉~ 已經抱著就算在旅館休息都很開心~
We did only a bit research about where to visit in Napier, however we always enjoy having spontaneous trips where ever we went. Especially, sometimes unpredictable surprise helps us discover better about local culture. One thing about Napier or Hawkes Bay region, it is actually one of the three main winery in New Zealand where produce finest wines, so visiting Wine Yards is definitely on our to do list.

在飛機上往下俯瞰內皮爾 Sky View of Hawkes Bay Region

我們搭乘的是小型螺旋槳飛機, 剛上飛機還真有點緊張,已經很久沒搭小飛機。
還好一切順利到達內皮爾。一下飛機看見機場讓我聯想起，之前在大陸工作常常需要往返兩岸的"金門機場", 內皮爾的豪克斯灣機場似乎只有單一個跑道起降。
提領行李後，就在我們考慮是否要租車兩天自駕遊還是跟當地團。因為考慮人生地不熟，酒莊也不適宜酒後開車, 內皮爾機場當地接駁巴士似乎兩人和小黃價差不大, 因為要等人數夠他才會開車, 所以我們選擇搭小黃到旅館 Nautilus 距離機場約10公里的旅館 check-in

The flight we took was one of the smallest model which can only carry perhaps 30 passengers which brought back my memories while I used to work in Xiamen, China that kind of the planes I used to take like monthly flied back to Taiwan. The Napier airport is pretty compact, it seems like there is only taking off line. While picking up our luggage, we were thinking if we should rent a car or take taxi to motel and join the local tour. After careful consideration, we found it might be easier just taking a taxi to check in especially we don't know the region that well and by joining the winery tour is not suitable to drive after wine tasting as well.

街景 Street view

路上司機很好奇我們的旅行目的, 以為我們是來看球賽, 畢竟是淡季的平日, 他也很熱心地告訴我們有關內皮爾Napier 的歷史, 很快的到達旅館, 很像台灣的Motel, 這是一個外觀普通但真的超級舒服的旅館, 裡面還有超大Spa 池, 我們又是淡季去的, 真的超划算的! 旺季都要提前預約, 一般都會客滿!

The taxi driver was quite curious the purpose of our visiting as it was a off season in winter and there were only few tourist there, unless there was a big Rugby game on that night in Napier, but we didn't look like the team supporters. It only took him around less than 15 mins to drive before we reached the motel. The rooms from outside only look pretty ordinary, however there is a huge spa bath in the room where people can enjoy dip in and watch the sea view at the same time. Booking in advance is a must especially in peak season, those motels run out of the capacities pretty soon.

我們的旅館 Nautilus Napier The motel we stay
(旅館附近有間炸魚薯條的外帶店,非常推薦點炸干貝,台幣可能60-80元一個,超級美味)
(There is one of the best fish and chips shop we found near by, definitely recommend to try their scallops, it is the best I ever tried, may cost NZ$3-4 per pcs)

內皮爾的歷史 Napier History

話說在西元1931年2月3日這天(距今85年前), 在豪克灣區和內皮爾市中心發生了一場規模7.8的超級大地震 (相較於台灣921大地震震央), 震垮了市區幾乎所有的建築物,並造成嚴重的傷亡, 由於板塊運動地殼隆起, 司機還指了路上經過的一片山坡約10層樓高, 原來是跟海平面平行的地, 在那天形成了一座山丘, 想了解這段歷史的可以參考英文內皮爾地震歷史網站

Our driver was trying to explain to us some Napier's history on the way to motel. He said there was a huge earthquake with 7.8 magnitude scale happened on 3rd February 1931 (about 90 years ago) in the centre town of Napier therefore it damaged most of the buildings in the town as well as lifted up one of the hills to up 30 meters high next to the coast. After then, the city council has decided to rebuild the city centre with Artistically designing, so they have turned Napier to a Great Gatsby town. The event called "Art Deco Festival" normally held in February every year. All the hotel rooms have been booked out usually one year in advance. All visitors dress up as the movie characters and the whole city is full of music dance and art performances. I haven't been one myself, but would be glad to see one if possible. For more information about the earthquake, please check the link Napier Earthquake

地震之後地方政府開始重建所有市中心建築, 而他們想到的是一個非常有創意的想法
將Napier內皮爾市打造成一個世界文藝重鎮, 因此有了一年一度的 "藝術嘉年華 Art Deco Festival" 吸引全球的粉絲來訪, 通常飯店旅館都要前一年預約!!! 如果有看過小說或電影 "大亨小傳 The Great Gatsby " 沒錯!!-所有人在藝術嘉年華吃喝玩樂活動期間，都打扮如同電影裡人物!!

內皮爾海邊 Coast side of Napier

內皮爾面向一望無際的太平洋, 從南美洲智利西岸的中間似乎完全沒有陸地, 不知道是不是我的錯覺, 感覺內皮爾的海浪特別強勁!!!連夜晚住在海邊對面旅館的我們, 都可以非常清楚聽到海浪聲, 瞬間忘卻城市的一堆煩惱~ 在我們旅行期間, 內皮爾的海岸邊都在施工, 預計是要建一大區的海濱花園自行車和遊憩場所~感覺當地的居民很幸福!!!

The sea in front of Napier city is actually the Pacific Ocean. There are probably no lands or main Islands all the way till West America and it makes me wonder that probably is the reason why all the waves sound really strong especially in the night time. Along the bay walkway, there were couple of the constructions going on which seems like going to prepare a city garden with some kids playground. I would admire it is pretty lucky for the locals to live in a such magnificent artist place in New Zealand.

豪克斯灣酒莊區 Wine Tours in Hawkes Bay

豪克斯灣是紐西蘭知名三大主要酒莊區, 其他區域酒莊分布圖可以參考下圖"

Main wineries in New Zealand can refer to the map provided below:

資料來源取自官網 Picture sourced from http://www.nzwine.com/regions/

在方便性及時間考量下, 我們參加了酒莊全日遊的私人駕車團。司機兼導遊的紐西蘭"H"先生預計在上午10點到旅館接我們, 然後自費午餐, 下午5點左右送我們回旅館, 平均人單價是紐幣NZ$90左右, 約台幣2千, 半日遊的行程比較便宜,但考慮我們也沒有租車, 全日遊也等於是郊區觀光且不用找路頗開心!

In consideration of the safety and convenience, we have decided to join a winery tour booking through the motel with Mr. H. The price is about NZ$90 per adult/ day tour. There is a half day tour optional. The best thing of this is, you don't have to worry about breaking the law after wine tasting, but unfortunately it is not available to choose the vineyards on your own. However, it is a good option for first time visitors, especially we don't know the region that well.

Ps.私人小巴的優點是會幫你安排好行程, 司機也不能品酒所以很安全, 但缺點就是無法挑選自己想去的酒莊, 當然第一次來到人生地不熟旅遊, 我認為是相對方便的。一上車就遇到兩位從南島來玩的紐西蘭媽媽級的好姊妹, 非常幽默, 午餐過後加入兩位從澳洲來的夫妻旅客,也很好玩, 尤其大家在三杯小酌後, 不斷搞笑, 算很幸運的有這樣同行的人!!!

I. 知名酒莊教堂路酒莊 Church Road Winery (須預約喔! Booking essential!)

跟團的好處是, H先生會在我們參觀第一間酒莊時, 詢問我們是否願意自費午餐, 他會打電話幫我們預約保留位子 ! 因為這間酒莊非常有名,國際觀光客很多, 容易客滿須預約喔!!!

Our tour guide has checked with us if we wanted to attend the lunch during our first vineyard visiting, so he can make a booking before it gets full. Especially, Church Road is one of the most famous vineyard in New Zealand. And certainly the food quality is never going to let anyone down.

II.知名酒莊 Mission Estate Winery Another famous Vineyard in New Zealand

這間酒莊有非常美味的餐廳, 但因為我們已用過午餐, 所以就停留品嘗他們的紅白酒, 蠻推薦他們的 Riesling, 是一種德國品種偏甜的白葡萄酒, 因為他們是很大的酒莊, 所以紐西蘭超市也可以買到! 有些私人酒莊年產量較少的, 僅在當地酒莊有銷售! 不喝酒的遊客也可以品嘗他們的餐點喔!

Although we would love to try their tasting dishes after arrival, there was no room or spaces to fit in in our stomachs after the big lunch at Church Road vineyard. Hopefully there will be a chance next visiting. This popular vineyard is another famous one in this region especially for the weddings. Not only for the great dining experiences, but also for taking those wedding photos with the great landscape views in the background. Apart from that, I really like their Riesling wine which tastes a big sweet and smooth. And of course, it is possible to buy from all the supermarkets as their business scales. However, for some family owned and small vineyards, there are only options to buy from their local places.

在西方國家, 酒莊通常是非常熱門的婚禮首選! 如果有充足的婚禮預算, 可以考慮酒莊婚禮! 經典酒莊通常都需要提前一年以上預約! 在酒莊辦婚禮的好處是, 通常酒莊都有婚禮企劃專業團隊, 餐廳廚師也非常專業, 除了景色優美一望無際的葡萄園,新人可以拍出美美的婚紗照, 大型酒莊通常有住宿飯店, 可以讓遠道而來的賓客休息, 就地品嘗他們的經典菜餚配上出產的美酒, 有興趣的新人可以自行接洽喔!!

冬天的葡萄園 vineyard's winter view

一日遊的最後, 導遊帶我們到知名的 "Te Mata Peak " 可以俯望豪克斯灣區的美景

這也是第一次在紐國看到一望無際的丘陵地，感覺很有趣!

At the end of the tour, Mr. H drove us to "Te Mata Peak" where you can view whole Hawkes Bay region. What an interesting landscapes views in front of us!

備註: 奧克蘭市區前往機場的交通方式備註
Note: Airport transfer service between Auckland Airport and Auckland City

建議以下三種 Three ways to get to the Auckland city centre from the airport

1) SkyBus機場市區接駁巴士, 單人單程紐幣NZ$15 折合台幣約 $300, 最新費率及優惠,可以點連結 SkyBus Auckland fares Single fare is $15 per way, $28 with return per adult. For the latest price, please check the link provide.

2) Supershuttle, 如果居住地不在sky bus站牌的路上, 可以考慮到府接送的接駁小巴士(需預約)通常會停數個點載客人, 按距離人頭比例計價, 單人單程紐幣NZ$35 折合台幣約TWD$800, 兩人紐幣NZ$43 折合台幣約TWD$1,000, 最新費率,請參考網站連結可以點: Supershuttle fares
Another option is Super Shuttle which is door to door service. Latest price please refer to the link.

3) 計程車Taxi, 如果預算充足且趕時間, 可以考慮! 但紐西蘭的計程車收費較台灣高許多, 以跳表計價, 從機場到市區20公里路程，約紐幣NZ$100,台幣$2,300 且不含塞車, 各家費率優惠略不同,可以參考連結 : Auckland Taxi

Third option is Taxi, it is about NZ$100 from airport to the city centre without traffic congestion which charge by distances and time.

Yeh!!!! 距離上篇威靈頓半年之久的內皮爾, 終於在工作與生活兼顧下完成了~

希望對大家的紐西蘭旅程安排計畫有所幫助喔~也歡迎愛旅遊的達人來交換意見!

Although this article- Napier was released in 2016, I have added and edited some information recently with Bilingual explanations. Hope you do enjoy reading it.

紐西蘭威靈頓 Wellington, New Zealand

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Fri, 06 May 2016 02:43:00 +0000

紐西蘭威靈頓 Wellington, New Zealand (Capital of New Zealand)

Waterfront view - Wellington 威靈頓經典海景

本篇想介紹一下之前旅居兩年的城市 - 紐西蘭威靈頓(人口40多萬的紐西蘭小小首都)
轉眼間, 離上篇文章"台北"已經近N年之久了。
一直想找個時間來創作這篇文章, 但不知不覺半年就過去了。這幾年人生也有重大轉變, 除了學習英文, 當了遊民中心的義工, 回台與家人好友相聚分享結婚喜訊。
在紐西蘭也陸續旅遊觀光了些小鎮。目前也搬到奧克蘭~未來再跟大家陸續介紹~

來之前對紐西蘭這個國度的印象不多, 聽說這是一個綿羊比人多的國家, 從電影魔界看到綠油油的一片山與清澈無比的泉水。- 是的, 以上皆對! 這裡有時候子在郊區開車半小時以上都沒看到來車, 但倒是有無數羊群在兩邊的草原或坡上專注的低頭吃草。 (想像一下清境農場的放大版), 就對了!

入住之後才發現這是一個高消費的國家,
物價: 平均一個三明治台幣$250左右, 超市礦泉水一瓶$ 70-80,市中心3坪套房房租每月約台幣3萬不含水電...連生活在歐洲德國都沒有這麼誇張....
但畢竟是一生中至少要來旅遊一次的國度, 建議大家抓好預算才不會敗興而歸唷!

(There are two companies, I only took Interislander and heard it's much better facilities compared to Bluebridge, but just options for individually)

連接南北島渡輪. 約單程3~4小時, 建議安排兩天一夜, 才不會太趕
有兩間公司 Interislander vs Bluebridge , 價位略差但大力推薦 Interislander我只搭過這間, 悉另一間設備較老舊~差異頗大~供參考。我們在回程聽到船長廣播遠處有大型鯨魚，超驚喜! 船票價格並非固定, 提早預定通常會較優惠~

台灣台北 Taipei, Taiwan

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Thu, 14 Aug 2014 23:35:00 +0000

Taipei 101 - It was the tallest building in the world. Now, it is the landmark Skyscraper of TPE central.

Well.. I think it's time to write about my hometown city - Taipei(TPE)
I have thought about it since finishing my first blog post, but the truth is the longer you have lived in a place, the more difficult it is to express your feelings about it.

Taipei Region has constructed from two main parts which are "Taipei city (2.7Mil ppl) + New Taipei city (nearly 4Mil ppl)". This means almost 6.7Mil people out of Taiwan's 24Mil population (~30%) live together in the same city. Shall we start our brief tour about my home town TAIPEI?

寫了那麼多城市, 竟然還沒寫出我的家鄉台灣,台北。為了盡我這個小小國民的義務，我想我是該好好的推廣一下，我所居住了這麼多年的家。
其實"家"這個詞本來對我還頗理所當然，只是每當我踏出國門後, 身上唯一的一個有用證件只剩下護照。每遇見一個人, 第一句話就是你從哪裡來? 曾在德國介紹自己是台灣來時，常被誤會"泰國"，解釋了一番後還要在世界地圖上認真的指出"台灣"，當然我也遇到更多善良的世界各地友人的幫忙，在這裡的確要心存感激!!

由於很多外國人對亞洲的了解有限, 曾經在上課時, 德國企管教授談到"韓國"的BENQ 被德國西門子合併了....原來"國"和"家"ˇ對於一個在異地的我比起什麼都重要, 因為是一種歸屬感吧~但~本篇文章當然還是離不開吃喝玩樂啦!

台灣真是一個美食天堂, 每回在桃園機場候機時才會有更深的領悟, 但我想先從台北寫起好了, 其他城市會慢慢整理分享的! 只是比起專業人士我這個業餘部落客, 會盡量在這個網路有限流量, 風速時不時達到130公里的城市慢工出細活的寫出我這還沒有老年癡呆的紀憶~
這裡要註明一下, 由於台北有太多好吃好玩的東西, 部落格空間有限無法為大家一一呈現, 還有以上經驗純粹是個人經歷不含任何政治立場或種族評論請大家不要放大檢視喔!!!
希望你們會喜歡我整理出來的一些東西!!!

Bike riding自行車遊

(I would personal recommend the day tour below! 以下是我個人推薦的行程~)

Cycling in TPE has recently become more popular. To help encourage cycling, the government has built a bicycle path in the city, next to the river. From New TPE city to the end of Tanshui is about 16km.

近年來政府大力鼓勵大家騎自行車的休閒, 現在在台北市有U-bike(微笑小黃)和新北市也有些捷運站提供單車租借, 但上圖是我個人頗推薦的, 我們先到江子翠河濱公園租借單車, 使用甲借乙還, 嗯~經過一下午的努力, 我們從板橋-新莊-三重-關渡-淡水 ..總計16公里, 對一個並不常有規律運動的我來說還真的是創舉~ 當然途中也是有很多路線可以規劃跟還車的~建議帶足水，找個天氣涼爽的日子騎, 我們上次是在仲夏~身體沒即時補充水份還真有些辛苦!!!

It's pretty safe and comfortable to do exercise with your family by riding next to the river.
淡水河延岸景色很不賴喔!
台北河岸自行車道還真的方便且安全但建議有同伴一起，因為有些地方還真的有點偏僻喔。

If the weather is good enough, you may see one of the best sunset views in TPE.
幸運的我們也看到了美麗的日落彩霞~

Desitation"of cycling way-Tanshui is an area on the end of the red metro line, and it gets more popular every year with tourists visiting as there are some historical embassies from Netherlands and Spain which show a unique perspective on the history of TW. It becomes a great place to escape from the crowded central city especially when combined with the beautiful river view. It can be busy on the weekends though, so if you don't like crowded tourist places, I recommend you ride during the week.

淡水-集合美食與歷史文化的好地方。雖然從學生時就三不五時的周末與同學搭乘捷運一路坐到紅線底站，常常就是逛完老街後返家, 直到近期才真的參訪如紅樓下午茶, "最知名"魚酥, 新建成老餅, ..等~且最近發現淡水果然越來越多國際觀光客~沿河岸餐廳酒吧也朝越來越休閒渡假風發展。若有時間也推薦坐渡輪到對岸八里吃"雙胞胎"(淡水友人的極力推薦喔!!)

After a long ride, it is time for a break to taste some local snacks of Tanshui. One of the best things about Taiwan is no matter where you are and what time it is, you will always find something delicious to eat or taste. Even some convenience stores offer pre-prepared food and seats for people to dine-in.

終於在運動一下午後抵達了終點，在身心疲憊狀態下我們找了間沿河岸餐廳坐了下來開始享用食物。但因為是非供餐時段, 我們點了些淡水魚酥, 鐵蛋,泡菜...但吃完還是很餓~只好繼續到老街吃小吃PS此餐廳低消頗高比較偏向"觀光氣氛"視個人預算喔!

Food, Cafe'& Drink 咖啡美食

This is a very famous "Xiao Long Bao" restaurant called "Din-Tai-Feng". Normally takes 1~2 hours waiting on the line and the prices are high. But if you prefer some fancy Asian Cuisine, it's worth it to try. Btw, Tom Cruise also visited and learned to make his own Xiao long bao last time he was in Taiwan.
上圖應該很多人都不陌生, 它就是頂頂大名"鼎泰豐", 我個人推薦他們蒸蝦餃

Japanese Cuisine has also become very popular in Taiwan, not only due to the cultural influence but also because the new generation has started to dine-in more and care more about their health. They prefer less oil and the complicated cooking process which avoids losing the nutrition of the food itself. This restaurant is called "YuanShao"; it is close to the Yong-An market station by metro orange line.

日本料理對於台灣人應該非常熟悉, 這間店主要在中永和店名"猿燒", CP值頗高, 但一搬建議預約~下圖是猿燒午間套餐(永安市場店) 份量非常足喔~價位也很合理

This practical lunch menu can satisfy two lady's stomachs, but it's a good idea to book before you go.

Sa Shi Mi Dong~ 永安市場站的花見小舖-生魚丼超讚

(我姐大力推薦)

Lebledor, a famous beer restaurant which provides German style tap beer and has delicious bar food.

"金色三麥", 愛啤酒的人絕對不能錯過~他們家的啤酒偏德式, 會不定期更新酒單與菜單, 氣氛也很不錯, 適合中大型聚會喔~!

W-Hotel buffet, there are a lot of different buffet's available in Taipei with different price ranges and specialities. I would recommend W-hotel for people who like seafood; Grand Hyatt has great dessert and eatogether.com offers mid-class buffet for people who enjoy Asian cuisine.

W飯店, 主打六星級住房, 雖然沒有預算去住他們家, 但去偶爾在節慶去吃餐廳總是可以的啦~~個人比較推薦愛吃海鮮的饕客去~另一間HYATT君悅的凱菲屋甜點很不錯喔,他們家時不時也是有餐卷推出, 饗食天堂的CP值也很不賴喔!

French coffee shop "Merci", a cosy and warmly decorated cafe. It's located in an alley near Far Eastern Mall and Banchiao station. They have opened a new shop which is 100m away from the original one, but I personally preferred to visit the first one.

這間咖啡店座落在板橋舊遠百巷弄內"Merci"(法文的謝謝), 店內提供西式巧巴達等很不錯吃~還有間"好初早餐"(近板橋市議會)早餐也非常不賴, 但永遠都是排隊狀況, 所以我推薦"電話訂餐"後外帶回家慢慢享用

View of Cafe' Merci

I love their crispy chicken ciabatta bread with cranberry sauce with one warm cafe au lait. It is a great brunch to start a day.
首推-好吃的莓果醬脆雞巧巴達~

Lounge bar on level 33 of the New TPE City hall building; it also has the function room.
這間酒吧+餐廳座落在新北市政府33樓, 可俯瞰板橋街景, 也有不定期下午茶套餐

The largest shopping mall in New Taipei City called Mega City. It has cinemas, shops, a food court and fine dining restaurants. You can basically can spend a whole day inside.
旁邊為"大遠百"號稱新北市最大的MALL

Some pies? Yep, there are a couple of Costcos in Taipei and one was pretty close to my previous office, so sometimes if you miss Western-style desserts, you will know where to find them. The only thing is that you need to be a member. Sometimes it can be a bother as I can't go unless I have my sister with me who is the card holder.....

Home made Latte~ well as you know, I am a Barista or specifically I was. If you are interested in knowing more about coffee culture and course, welcome to visit my another post about "Melbourne- Australia" where I took my first Barista course and that's also why I start to write this blogger as personal interests, cause I just like to share coffee with people who enjoy and of course more others.....
自製咖啡拿鐵ㄝ.哈經過墨爾本的咖啡課拉花還是有進步的說~

This is a nice home coffee shop which my friend showed me. It's located in the second floor of apartment in East area of TPE. It's very relaxed place with some delightful home made dessert.
東區小巷弄內的二樓咖啡廳~

No worries, I think most people know this brain."Starbucks", well a lot of students in Taiwan they like to grap a cup of Startbucks as a fashion mark. Indeed of fashion and saving time, I personally enjoy more about Italian type of coffee maybe it because I was working with them and I always have to look at the "CREMA" while I drinking my coffee. There are also City Cafe available which provide 24 hours from 7-11 in Taiwan. So the last thing you have to worry about if you travel to TW is coffee and food
處處可見的連鎖品牌星巴克

There are also another style of Cafe style in Taipei which I think they call themselves "LOHAS" means
Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability.
They like to use some wood decoration and explored cement color which bring up a warm feeling.
"樂活風"的咖啡廳在台灣也越來越盛行ㄟ~

Well.. I don't quit remember how does the coffee taste like? But I think it's a little bit bitter. It might be better for people who enjoy dark roast coffee bean .

恩~咖啡的滋味不太記得了(似乎微苦)。自從學完咖啡課程後, 嗅覺似乎大幅增進, 連烘焙的豆子(中度或重度烘焙,鮮奶純度都斤斤計較...) 在台灣大多時候還是偏愛自己煮的咖啡~

澳洲墨爾本 Melbourne, Australia

noreply@blogger.com (Baristajessica) — Mon, 17 Mar 2014 05:35:00 +0000

澳洲墨爾本 Melbourne, Australia

重新整理本篇的"咖啡之旅" 希望對現在或未來對咖啡課程或澳洲咖啡文化有興趣的人做參考囉!
近年來因為打工渡假簽證的熱潮, 鼓勵所有年輕人, 前往世界各地打工並賺取旅遊經費，小編我也是持此簽證去上課兼打工與渡假的, 但近一年酸甜苦辣的等改天再與各位分享!
以下就讓我們慢慢用視覺品嚐澳洲咖啡&美酒囉~
It's been a while since my last post about Tokyo, Japan. During the last months, I was preparing to travel again to another country in the Southern part of the world, it seems like traveling is becoming part of my life and I really enjoy it in getting to know more diversity culture in the world.

The country I am relocating to now is very famous for the movie "Lord of Rings" - New Zealand. But before I get to know more about the coffee culture here, I would like to share with all of you that the memorable Barista training course in the country where is famous for Kangaroo and Koala- AUSTRALIA "OZ".

恩~~~話說我與咖啡的緣份頗深的~要從某年談起。曾在某公司任職的我, 一個美麗的邂逅讓我開始擔任與咖啡機製造與行銷的PjM，從一個單純的消費者跳進一個幕後供應鍊製造商的觀點是截然不同的，除了幸運的在國內外展會上與世界頂尖的咖啡品牌接觸外, 公司內的同事與主管皆是動輒超過10年以上的咖啡達人(感覺好像在咖啡博物館工作哈哈)! 在忙碌的工作中, 自己煮咖啡與同事討論咖啡漸漸成了一個興趣與愛好,耳濡目染之下對"咖啡"的理解與要求也越來越高~

咖啡的沖泡方式種類非常之多, 但我個人偏好義式高壓咖啡機, 因為看的到那層厚厚的"Crema"咖啡的油質, 香氣與口味也特別濃郁(當然這也要取決咖啡豆的烘焙輕/中/重...)
好吧~以下就讓我們一起跨越時空來看看澳洲墨爾本咖啡之都的盛名囉!!!

Being a project manger in the industry of coffee machine manufacture and business development on Cafe chains, I was really lucky to getting to know all the top Coffee Specialist from the global clients or coworkers who are professional in coffee. By working with them, it makes me feel like I was in the coffee museum in my daily life with surrounded by worldwide coffee great experts.

And of course, everyone may have their very own coffee tastes, and for me- I always prefer make or get myself an Espresso based coffee as I enjoy seeing the classic coffee "Crema" stays on the top of my coffee and it smells really great as a real Comfort drinks to start a day with.

Somehow, I have realized all the coffee knowledge I have gained are either from marketing research or people. But I was more interested in getting practical experience by standing in the first line of doing customer service. Being a good Barista, this idea arose in my mind, and therefore I flied all the way to Australia to start with my coffee journey by chance.
~~~There is only one thing I forget until I get into the flight is...well.....I know nobody in this country and ....I hope I will be doing all right over there (fingers crossed...)

墨爾本MCG 球場可以容納超過10萬名球迷觀看澳洲國民運動"FOOTY"

日本東京 Tokyo, Japan (出差篇 Business trip)

TOKYO, JAPAN PART 1(出差篇 Business trip)

東京とうきょう-亞洲流行時尚之都

品川しながわ, 下北澤しもきたざわ, 池袋いけぶくろ, 銀座ぎんざ,

秋葉原秋葉が原 Akihabara

Tokyo is one of the most fashion-leading cities in Asia . In 2011, "Time" has indicated that Tokyo city (including suburbs) has reached 32.5 Mio population which place Top1 crowded city of the world.
東京人口在2011年美國時代雜誌Time報導下, 包含都會區已經達到3,250萬人,榮登世界第一密集城市。在高度密集的城市, 餐飲服務業也相對達到極至巔峰才能在如此相對競爭的市場下生存下來!

Taiwan is a country that was once colonised for 50 years by Japan. Today would like to share some popular regions of Tokyo for people traveling reference, such as Shinagawa, Simokitazawa, Ikebukuro, GINKO.
台灣.一個曾經經歷日本殖民了近50年的國家,想當然爾台灣人的吃喝玩樂總是與日系潮流密不可分!
本篇主要介紹2012年,在日本東京大街小巷(品川, 下北澤, 池袋, 銀座)紀錄的分享~

Because of that, many aspects of daily life in Taiwan are influenced by Japanese culture. In year 2011, I got a business traveling chance back to Tokyo. The first thing to impress me was the metro system. They are very quiet inside the metro even in rush hour. The convenient transportation made our trip easier.So now please have a check some photos which by taking in regions of Shinagawa, Simokitazawa Ikebukuro and GINKO.
Hope you enjoy it~

品川,下北澤 / Shinagawa, Simokitazawa しながわ, しもきたざわ

近年亞洲興起"文創產業"的熱潮, 在日本領軍下, 很多餐飲都相繼植入,
從食材的詳細來源與介紹農民們如何一步一腳印耐心培育出我們桌上的佳餚,
菜單設計上也活潑了起來, 改變傳統制式僅顯示餐點與價格, 不僅提供餐點內容詳細豐富的解說, 更延伸應用在如店家的奮鬥故事, 實實在在充分的表現出店家的用心，一改以往單純的買賣關係, 利用顧客短短的點用餐時間,抓住了行銷時機, 除了讓消費者感覺到店家的用心亦更留下深刻印象！！！
接下來就讓我們
"Cultural creative industry" is becoming very popular in Asia.
In Japan, we can see a lot of restaurants or Cafes that they insert the food story such as where do the vegetables come from? How does farmers plant them? Even like the shops history from several generations..etc. With all of the information providing, make us feel more in touch with them even if it's just a regular meal. The "Cultural Creative" sales strategy is a really good way to make the business appear more reliable to consumers.

Shop link 店家官網 http://www.soup-stock-tokyo.com/weekly/

店名 "SOUP STOCK TOKYO"

是一間坐落在車站月台旁的小店, 裡面供應著各式各樣的湯品及單品麵包

對於剛抵達東京的我們, 站在近零度的月台看著這間鵝黃色溫暖燈光, 迫不及待的想走進去!

The shop "SOUP STOCK TOKYO" is one of the culture creative shop where we visited at first stop.

It was the winter time with almost only 0 degree on the street, we found very cosy and warm to meet the shop with warm light.

店內供應著數種的湯品, 亦提供外帶調理包服務
They offer some ready soup-pack which available for take away service.

菜單精緻的呈現有關於食材文化創意
The menu has showed up the interesting resource where the ingredients come from

Juice bar 果汁吧~

池袋 Ikebukuro (Bukuro) いけぶくろ

也許有人曾經聽過"池袋西口公園 IKEBUKURO WEST GATE PARK" 這個名詞有些許印象, 但這地方是我第一次到訪!
跟著同事們一大早, 開始參訪池袋的餐飲業, 印入眼簾的是形形色色的食品=實品行銷!
不得不佩服, 日本在這個部分做的真不賴, 通常在店外看見的餐點模型與店內的一致性達到99%相似度, 台灣的大部分店家在這部分就略有差距, 令身為消費者一員的我忍不住嘆氣...每每拿到餐點後總是有微微的失落....
May some of you ever heard of a book named "IKEBUKURO WEST GATE PARK", but I haven't read it yet, just also got to know from my cousin. For me, I was the first time got the chance to visit this region of Tokyo. I wasn't sure it was so famous until I was there.
This area "Ikebukuro" is business central and entertainment places focus, if you like shopping, you will need to visit this place for sure. It's full of the range of department stores, dining restaurants, also once has been called "China Town".

在某百貨公司的一樓, 發現了一間十分明亮的精品糕點店-"年輪蛋糕" (バウムクーヘン )在台灣很少糕點會開在百貨的1樓, 更不會把整個烘培廚房帶進來, 讓我們這些路過的人有著耳目一新的視覺衝擊

既然是來做餐飲市調, 當然免不了買了一片來嚐嚐, 綿密的口感讓我們瞬間忘卻了東京的寒意, 心中多了分綿密的甜意。

但甚少人知道的是, 原來年輪蛋糕的創始國是德國稱做"Baumküchen", Baum, 指的是樹相同於英文的tree; Küchen 指的是蛋糕意指英文的cake, 亦等於樹輪蛋糕!

This bright shop catch all of our attention as soon as we went inside the department store.

It's pretty few dessert shop will set up their store at ground level of department store, of course not even their central kitchen because we all know the rent gonna cost the company so much. Seems we came here for market survey, we will definitely have to give it a try. The taste of tree-cake is actually quit fine with quit leveling inside. It's pretty much similar like a fine-making-classic-creamy sponge cake but more fun.

The interesting this is we found out that "Tree-cake" also named "Baumküchen" which is originally from Germany. What a surprise~

Subway dessert booth

這兩張甜甜圈照片是我們在經過地鐵站時, 無意間被五顏六色的甜甜圈吸引, 腦中浮現
"彩色行銷"這個字眼, 原來除了手機電器以外, 甜點也已經被應用到極至, 真的是無時無刻都覺得胃口大開說~ 再加上連地鐵站都有提供伴手禮的精緻包裝, 讓原本僅是個普通的甜甜圈, 瞬間變成了時尚甜點~

Those donuts were located on the way to the subway entrance, with the colorful-marketing strategy has been successfully brought out our appetite. My coworker has bought one for a try, it's flavorful but for the Taiwanese people might be a little over sweet. The taste may be closer for USA type of dessert or better have a tea with. Also the pretty gift box remind people that they can definitely find the gifts for sure even it's the last second before visit their friend's home.

GINKO 銀座ぎんざ

Ginko, one of the most luxious region in Japan.
It's a place combine with Wallstreet of New York but next to the white house where Royal family of Japan lives. For sure, it will be the perfect place to enjoy all the high quality meal with enough budget on pocket.
But unlikely, it was just a business trip with enough budget. Why make me so lucky once again, just cause the day was starting with a super busy report preparing from my boss, we had a family mart sandwich whole day until 8'pm...finally...one of our branch office coworker, who I was chatting to discuss what we should get for a dinner for the last night staying in Tokyo, she recommends a very delicated place where she used to dining and also it's perfect for my boss who is vegetarian but available for seafood meal.
Therefore, we got in a taxi (first time takes taxi in Japan, for 10 mins driving costs us like quit amount which I couldn't remember anymore ) Luky us. we just wait outside of this restaurant for 10 mins cause normally Lily she said need to wait for couple hours regularly.

銀座- 近皇城的一個非常高檔商業區, 街上林立了國際知名品牌, 高級會所
附近的商業辦公大樓包含世界各地知名企業總部進駐, 有如華爾街的精英們聚集地
當然不是每次出差都可以吃到銀座餐廳, 首先澄清當週為了趕工作報告, 同事跟主管們每天都用超市family的麵包果腹了....當天加班至晚上8點....終於在回台前一個晚上9點吃到了一頓正餐!

洛杉磯咖啡廳 Cafe' in Los Angeles, USA

Coffee market size in Taiwan is increasing dramatically since last ten years. In year 2013, the sales volume of coffee has reached USD$17Bil. yearly.

去年藉工作機會參訪了美國咖啡連鎖店 "The Coffee Bean &Tea Leaf"，此品牌原創於1963年南加洲，目前總部設立在洛杉磯。咖啡豆生意起家的他們，現今經營項目主體為全球咖啡店連鎖加盟及自有品牌"CBTL"家用咖啡機/咖啡膠囊產品銷售, 全球機場32間,亞洲展店已經超過550間，主要亞洲市場韓國(300間),其他如新加坡等,

2013年自由時報報導"台灣人一年喝掉約23億杯的咖啡，整體咖啡市場有500億元"，平均一人一年喝掉100杯咖啡,就連耳掛式咖啡亦有5,000萬包的年銷量。如此驚人的數字讓一個僅有2,300萬人口的台灣, 成為全球連鎖品牌美國星巴客在亞洲的大本營, 今年第三季已達成全國展店近300間

咖啡飲品的急速成長趨勢更讓各家企業大廠瞄準這塊新藍海市場，紛紛投入咖啡黑金市場的實體營運! The Coffee Bean &Tea Leaf 產品主要分為六大類: 咖啡/茶飲, waffle鬆餅, 優格聖代, 現做水果優格(Yogurt Parfait),現做燕麥片(Oatmeal),咖啡聖代。這裡跟大家分享一些有趣剪影~

There are so many Cafe' chains in USA. Some of you might heard about "The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf". The difference between this one and others is that they offer some interesting products related to their own brand "CBTL", here are some sharing photos during the business trip to L.A. If you are also interested in opening a new Cafe' in the coming future, maybe you may find some interesting details from them. Have a look then~

義大利威尼斯 Venice, Italy

義大利水都-威尼斯 city on the water -Venice, Italy

Venice- a beautiful city on the water. There are more than 400 bridges in the city, and the transportation is by luxury yacht "Taxi". Everyone is dreaming to visit this city once in their life, but with the serious globalwarming issue, the city is sinking year by year. Have a look at the following photos and you may know why it is so charming! 造訪意大利那年, 正好遇到了世足賽在德國舉辦, 在歷經了數十場賽事, 終究冠軍落入了意大利, 全國上下彌漫著喜慶洋洋的氣氛不斷。

出發前兩個月, 得知歐洲內陸時常有不定期的特價機票，多虧同學告訴我這個好消息, 讓我們一人僅花了歐元69折合台幣NT$2,800以內，就可從慕尼黑飛往北意大利威尼斯機場也感謝意大利友人義不容辭的來接機, 讓我們雖然不懂義大利文,但一到機場就感受到了他們民族的熱情, 威尼斯為意大利的第一站- Verona(羅密歐與茱麗葉的故鄉)- 羅馬Roma(千年古蹟就在巷弄內)-Vatican凡帝崗(世界天主教中心)-Florence(錯過了但期盼有天一定回去)-Naples(拿波里Pizza發源地)-龐貝古城(西元79年的遺產)- Milano(流行時尚之都米蘭)

巴洛克風格的安康聖母教堂,據說是因為當年威尼斯爆發了為期11個月的瘟疫奪了近1/3市民的生命,人們為了祈福而建

Santa Maria della Salute is a Roman Catholic church.

威尼斯嘉年華會（Carnevale Di Venezia)
起源於西元1162年的威尼斯嘉年華，是為了慶祝昔日威尼斯王國(Venezia)對抗Ulrico的戰役勝利，在聖馬可廣場舉行的大型慶典，15世紀開始，威尼斯嘉年華逐漸成為全民參與的狂歡大會，18世紀政府與教會的參與，更是讓此活動發展成為威尼斯最大規模的慶典

The "Carnevale Di Venezia" is the city's biggest annual celebration. The carnival started in the year 1162 AD and celebrates Venice's victory in the war against Ulrico.

城市交錯400條以上橋樑,並以豪華水上快艇做為taxi的城市

它在1987年入選歷史遺產, 連街城市的100多條水道, 倒映出藍天白雲的美, 就在一一驚嘆時,我們搭著交通船抵達知名的聖馬可廣場, 亦了解為何這個僅有20萬人口的城市,會吸引每年數百萬遊客絡繹不絕的造訪!
但從另一方面看來, 整個威尼斯城因為具有相當國際知名度, 且由於全球暖化造成海平面上升的原故, 威尼斯已經變成意大利觀光客必到之處, 市區的餐廳物價極高, 跟德國相比平均為1.5倍~2倍不等, 且口味普普! 當初光點杯飲料約歐元4~5台幣NT$150~200不等, 若要坐下來吃份意大利麵平均歐元25~30(折合台幣約NT$1,000~1,200), 前陣子看了一則有關當地的報導, 因為城市吸引世界各地無數富豪置產,一年僅待2~3週做為渡假使用,而居民僅能住在城市周邊偏僻交通極為不便處, 在過度的商業開發下,龐大商機背後下亦充斥著無數悲歌...
