【Hong Kong Tour Escort Pass & Tourist Guide Pass】

這件事好像不太跟葡萄牙有關, 但又其實有點關連。 :-)
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Portugal, but it's indeed related. :-)

經過多月的讀書、實習、考試, 很幸運地, 終於接連成功考獲了香港旅遊業的領隊和導遊專業資格, 正式成為持牌的領隊和導遊。

After several months of studies, training and exams, very luckily I successfully passed a series of tests to have become a licensed Hong Kong tour guide and tour escort.

未來的道路很漫長, 有很多需要學習和進修的地方。希望不久將來可以帶旅客到葡萄牙觀光, 或者帶葡萄牙人或其他人在香港旅遊。:-)

The road ahead is long and there's so much for me to learn and improve. Hope that in the very near future, I will be able to take travellers to Portugal for sightseeing, and show visitors from all over the world the beauty of Hong Kong.

【時間不同, 景色可以分別很大】@ 波圖
【Different times, different scenery】@ Porto

選擇最佳的時間去旅行可是一門大學問。同一樣的景物, 在好天氣的日子、壞天氣的日子之下, 分別頗大。 而在不同的季節去同一個地方, 可以感受到的風情, 也可以截然不同。
  

 There's a lot of knowledge in choosing the best time to travel Nice and poor weathers make huge differences to the beauty of the same scenery. And when you visit the same place in different seasons, you can have pretty different feelings too.

個人覺得, 每年 4月至10月, 是旅遊葡萄牙的最佳時間。 而從11月到次年3月, 天氣一般較寒冷和風很大 (特別在北方包括波圖等地), 而且因為是雨季, 要有心理準備, 常常下雨, 有時甚至會有暴雨。

Personally, I think May to October each year is the best time to travel to Portugal; whereas from November to March, the weather is usually pretty cold and windy (in particular in the north including Porto). As it is also the rainy season for Portugal, be prepared for many rainy days and even rainstorms.

我放了四張我在波圖拍攝的照片:
1) 第一和第三張照片攝於6月後旬.
2) 第二和第四張照片攝於12月未;

您或許能從照片中感受得到那些分別。

Attached are two sets of pictures that I took in Porto:
1) the 1st and 3rd pictures in end of December; and
2) the 2nd and 4th ones in late June.

You may be able to see the big differences.

有關辛特拉 Sintra 火車總站和裡面的遊客資詢中心 / About Sintra Train Terminal & Information Centre

【有關辛特拉 Sintra 火車總站和裡面的遊客資詢中心】
【About Sintra Train Terminal & Information Centre】

上星期在葡萄牙語/葡萄牙旅遊分享會上, 跟在場朋友談到辛特拉的旅遊資料。 辛特拉是來葡旅遊的重點旅遊城鎮之一, 所以先收集好相關資料, 會對旅遊幫助很大。

 從里斯本的 Rossio Train Station (葡萄牙語 Estação de Caminhos de Ferro do Rossio), 每天有很多火車班次來往里斯本和辛特拉, 直達火車的行車時間通常大約是40分鐘。要注意, 周末和假期, 直達火車的班次可能會有所減少。

到達火車站後, 可見到站內有 "ask me Sintra" 的旅遊資詢中心, 可拿取地圖和查詢旅遊資料。

I briefly talked about visiting in Sintra in last Saturday's language and travel talk. Sintra is one of the most popular and visited places in Portugal, and therefore, having more information on the town would certainly make your trip easier and more fun.

There are many trains per day travelling between Lisbon's Rossio Train Station (called 'Estação de Caminhos de Ferro do Rossio' in Portuguese) and Sintra. The journey time of direct trains is usually 40 minutes. Note that there may be fewer direct services on weekends and holidays.

Upon arrival at Sintra Train Station, you shall see the "ask me Sintra" travel information centre where you can ask for a town map and other travel information.

【波圖 Majestic Café 的法式多士 (吐司)】
【Rabanadas Majestic Style, @ Majestic Café, Porto】

座落在繁忙的波圖市中心的 Majestic Café 咖啡館歷史悠久, 貴氣十足。 到訪時應該選吃選喝怎麼呢? 不二之選包括 Rabanadas Majestic Style ~~ 一種配以乾果和香濃奶油蛋羹的特有法式多士 (吐司)。

Rabanadas Majestic Style 的製作材料: 麵包, 雞蛋, 牛奶, 糖, 玉桂粉, 檸檬皮, 松子, 堅果與葡萄乾。

Situated in busy downtown Porto, Majestic Café is a cafe with history. What food and drink can a visitor choose to have at the café? One good option is their flagship dessert - "rabanadas" Majestic Style - a french toast wrapped in a creamy egg custard with dried fruit.

Ingredients of rabanadas Majestic Style: bread, eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, pine nuts, nuts and sultanas.

為了美食、華麗的的室內裝飾、友善的服務和優雅的環境, 雖然價格實在是有點高昂, Majestic Café 咖啡館仍然絕對值得一遊!

An iconic place that well worth a visit for its nice food, beautiful interior decor, accommodating staff and elegant setting, although food is, frankly speaking, a little pricey!
