越南旅记 之 阿雯篇


拖了又拖,已一个月了,我的越南游记都还没写好,照片也还未完全整理,真的好惭愧哦!那就先来分享我驴友雯的游记。 (哈哈哈,已获得雯本人的同意了 =P )

阿雯的越南之旅记

这次,仍然是半年前订的机票,目的地是一个语言不通且了解不多,只知道有个地方名叫胡志明市的越南。真正筹备只有那么的一次。而那一次,我也因为中途得载老师回酒店,所以只谈了20分钟就抛下两位友人在Station 1慢慢安排我们越南之旅的行程。


出发的前一晚,心情没有异常兴奋。直到在飞机上看见湄公河的那一刻,兴奋的心情不言而喻。机场外的人群多不胜数,我那时才惊觉胡志明市这城市原来是个人数不少的市区。上了巴士,巴士司机竟然把行李箱算一个人头计算。这是越南政府的规定吗?还是。。。?还没真正考察。


                           
                              云层下面就是湄公河了



                 胡志明市给我的第一个印象是...机车...机车再 机车  



兜兜转转,终于来到Saigon Youth Hostel。吃了鸡扒饭午餐回来后到旅行社询问第二和第三天的行程。认识了Lac Hong旅行社可爱的Kelvin。我们订了古芝隧道和 湄公河的行程后走路到War Remnants Museum,再到Ben Thanh Market 逛逛,买了著名的咖啡。晚餐在快餐店Loretto吃虾肉汉堡。回旅店发现日本男室友睡着了。或许我们太吵的关系,不一会儿,他就出去了。我们随后也到酒吧一面听歌,一面喝汽水、啤酒。




他人有one night in Beijing, 我们亦有one night in saigon....lalalalala


在旅店吃了越南面包为早餐后,到旅行社等待古芝隧道半日游,了解越南战士在美越战争时在古芝隧道生活的情况。导游的英文不大清晰,需要很留意听每一个字。回到市区后,吃粥。好吃的粥配上不好吃的油条,整体来说还是好吃。去到Reunification Museum已四点,刚刚好它关闭时间,无法参观。回Hello Hotel小休后,到附近吃晚餐。点菜。吃了Ell等三道菜。再去夜市Ben Thanh Market,买腰豆、纪念品,吃水果、糯米饭。在旅店休息后下大雨。



胡志明的景点



第三天一早到早市逛逛,蹲着吃了当地小食,买了豆浆水。去湄公河前和Kelvin拍了唯一一张我们三人在越南旅游的照片,途中也买了艺术品。湄公河一日游上认识了菲律宾、法国的背包旅客。蜜蜂、蛇通通不敢触摸。边吃水果,边听山歌有不一样的感觉。乘坐三板时遇上毛毛细雨,又有不一样的体验。骑马车的路途欣赏风景。简单的午餐后下的大雨使我们无法探索其他地方。



和可爱kelvin唯一的合照  



回去旅社小休片刻前买了里面充满肉的包。Hans和老板娘介绍我们到District 3Wrap and role。包得不像样,照吃。过后在那里走走。很大。回去District 1后到酒吧边看路景边喝咖啡、啤酒。

————————————————————————————————————————



第四天   四点多乘坐专车到机场,飞岘港,搭德士到惠安。到了机场才订酒店,被安排住在地下室,有被骗的感觉,之后加一点钱,住2楼,舒服多了。过后马上骑脚车到惠安市区。在博物馆前从脚车上跌倒,听Jane说,还蛮多人望过来,不敢多望,心里想:还好不是扑到很丑,要不然。。。后果不堪设想。去珠燕极力推荐餐厅吃午餐,老板和太太非常热情,吃了猪肉面+芒果shake。把脚车放在餐厅后,在炎热的情况下到处走走逛逛。随后骑脚车跟着情侣骑脚车到海边。超有满足感。下午三、四点在海边吹海风,感觉真好。回到酒店小休再骑脚车回去市区看夜景。再到河边蹲着吃高楼面,与外国旅客互相帮忙拍照。预订了隔天回岘港,路经Marble Mountain的巴士票。


         
                        雯准备骑车同时也不忘回头摆 Pose ! 





会安出名的是灯笼


会安地标-会安广场



会安的海边-骑车从古城到海边,虽然很晒,但是超爽的!


再次回到uncle店享受吃早餐。超好喝的咖啡乌加炸云吞,绝配。回去酒店途中迷路,还好兜兜转转还能在check out时间前回到。乘坐巴士到岘港,不过路途并没有在Marble Mountain停我们,打乱我们的算盘。到Little Home后到处走走。晚上到市场买干粮、快熟面。钱包也要放进纸袋。




看,够夸张吧! 钱包,手拿包包统统封起来 (超市内)

吃了早餐后搭巴士到Marble Mountain。爬着上,做电梯下。好玩。坐巴士回岘港途中遇到会说英文的越南人。介绍我们好吃的,可是由于越南币所剩无几,唯有放弃美食,随便吃。肠粉+gah(鸡)粉,遇见可爱的爱鸟之人。炎热的下午吃KFC的冰淇淋和喝清凉甘蔗水让我们解解渴。



大理石山 (Marble Mountain) - 山中有洞,洞中有洞,别有洞天  是对这地方满贴切的形容吧!



抵达机场的时间比预定的时间早。所以要求的士帅哥载我们兜兜风,可惜他听不懂英文,唯有打电话翻译。能近距离看岘港特别的渔船让我们俩兴奋不已。

没有充分的准备、自己的粗心大意让我有少许的遗憾,但整体而言,越南之旅真的是一级棒!背包旅行最重要与旅伴互相配合,互相照应。幸好两位旅伴都是合格的旅伴。越南之旅让我增加了不少背包的经验。期待下一次的背包旅行。不过,澳门、越南之旅仍然在我心中,回忆永远留在心中。

有许多的事与物是取决于我们如何看待,如何去做取舍。
以不同的层面,不同的角度去发掘,感受,那又会是另一番的体会。

沙巴亚庇休闲行-海岛游 Kota Kinabalu Leisure Trip-Islands



Jesselton Point Jetty - a one-stop ferry terminal to go islands in Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, KK


Our island trip:  Manukan and Mamutic Island
我们的海岛游: Manukan 和Mamutic 岛



First destination: Manukan Island
第一个目的地: Manukan 岛





    



Second destination: Mamutic Island
第二个目的地: Mamutic 岛




白化了的珊瑚 
                           

         




The main ferry terminal to islands in Tunku Abdul Rahman Park is Jesselton Point Jetty. You can get the boat ticket from any counters in this jetty. I got boat ticket for RM 25 per person. Besides, we also need to pay tax on our own , it is Rm7.60 per person (can get half price by showing student card) and island entrance fee for RM3 (non-malaysian need to pay RM10) .  I pay another  RM5 to rent for snorkeling masks and life jacket. You can rent these equipment when you buy boat ticket. 
Jesselton Point 码头是到东姑阿都拉曼园船的集中区。你可以在码头的柜台买去各岛屿的船票。我买到一个人二十五零吉的票,如果厉害杀价,你也许会获得更低的价格。除了船票,我们还需要自己付码头税,一个人 七块六(有学生卡半价)以及岛屿的入门票,每个人三零吉(外国人 十零吉)。 我另外多付了五零吉来租浮潜面具及救生衣。可以在买船票时一同租这些用具。


p/s:  Try to bargain and compare the price when you buy boat ticket and rent the equipment in the jetty.  


p/s: 当买船票及租浮潜工具时记得要杀价哦!  


Tips:Remember to bring white bread along when snorkeling. From my experience, white bread attract more fishes. You can put the bread into transparent plastic bottle and bring them along when snorkeling. By this way, your bread won't finish fast and can attract more fish.


贴士:浮潜时记得带些白面包。白面包会引更多的鱼。你可以把面包放进透明的塑料瓶里 ,带着去浮潜。这样你的面包就不会太快完,你也可以不断引鱼群到你身边。

沙巴亚庇休闲行 Kota Kinabalu Leisure Trip (Day1-2)

Sabah, a beautiful state in East Malaysia. It 's a place where i always want to visit. When mention about Sabah, the pictures comes across my mind are beautiful islands, beaches and of course Mount Kinabalu. This is the first time i m here Kota Kinabalu, Capital  city of  Sabah.
沙巴, 美丽的东马州属,一个我向往多时的地方。 当提起沙巴,脑海的画面总离不开美丽的岛屿,沙滩,还有哥打京那巴鲁山(神山)。 这是我第一次到哥打京那巴鲁,沙巴首府。

Kota Kinabalu is  on the top of Borneo island facing South China Sea, it is located along west coast division of Sabah. Kota Kinabalu is the smallest districts in Sabah but have the largest population. Previously, Kota Kinabalu  was known as Jesselton, some local people also call the place as Api-Api or Api, which means fire in Malay.
哥打京那巴鲁坐落于婆罗洲上边,面向南中国海,一个很小的县但却是州内人口最多的地区。独立前其英文名是 Jesselton, 当地人也称它为亚庇, 马来语火的意思。




I went KK with my parents. 3 hours flight from Penang.   Once reached KK, we took a taxi  (RM 50) to Tune hotel, which is located in One Borneo, about 30 minutes from airport. We booked Tune Hotel during promotion so only cost us Rm160  4nights for two rooms.But i would like to recommend to stay in hotels in Kota Kinabalu Town. This is because Tune hotel is quite far from the town, normally about 20 minutes, but there is always traffic jam near One Borneo, so sometimes may take up to 30 minutes to reach the town. It is also not very convenient if you would like to hunt for local food near KK town because the shuttle bus provided by One Borneo only  run every one hour from 9am onward and stop only in one location, Warisan Square.

这次的亚庇之旅是和爸妈一起去的,从槟城出发,大概三小时的机程。到了机场我们便乘上德士去 Tune Hotel, (车费:RM 50) .      Tune Hotel  坐落于One Borneo, 大概半个小时车程从机场。我们是在促销期间订的所以非常便宜,两间房住四天才RM160. 不过, 我还是会建议住在KK市区的酒店,因为Tune hotel 离市区大概要二十分钟的路程,One Borneo 前的那条路经常塞车,所以有时要花将近半小时才能到市区。 如果想方便逛街,找食物,那住在市区内会更好。虽说OneBorneo 有提供免费巴士但是却非常不方便,巴士早上九点后每小时才一趟且只停在 文化广场前。


                  Shuttle bus counter in One Borneo 



 

First day, we took shuttle bus to KK town. We walked along the waterfront. There are many seafood restaurants, pubs and cafeterias along waterfront. If you wanna hunt for more local foods and buy some fresh and cheap seafood or vegetables, you can walk further down to Night Market beside waterfront. There are variety of foods and drinks available. We decided to try on BBQ seafood in Night Market. The price was very reasonable but the taste just normal. If you are not too picky, do try this BBQ seafood and feel  to be locals ( there are quite a numbers of local people in this night market). After dinner, we walked along the waterfront enjoy a leisure evening.

第一天,我们搭了免费巴士到KK市区。沿着堤岸走,你会发现有许许多多的海鲜馆,咖啡馆及酒吧,听着海风,和杯啤酒或咖啡,多么美好的享受哦!如果你想要吃到更多当地食物,不妨沿着堤岸往下走,你将会看到一个夜市场。也是内除了有新鲜便宜的海鲜及蔬菜,也有许多的食物如海鲜煮炒,面或米粉汤,马来糕点,烧烤海鲜及各式饮品。我们吃烧烤海鲜,点了鱼,虾还有墨鱼,价格非常合理,不过味道一般般。如果不太过挑剔,不妨试一试这里的烧烤,体会一下当当地人的感觉。(夜市内有许多当地人 )。晚餐后,我们又继续散散步,吹吹海风,享受休闲的傍晚。









The next day, again we took shuttle bus to KK town. It was Sunday and we went to Sunday Market in Gaya street. I like such market so much, it is a best place to hunt for unique and cheap stuffs. We have spent nearly 3 hours in this market. There are variety of stuffs ranging from clothes, pearls, jewellery, unique native crafts,pets,foods,vegetables and fruits.The market is crowed with people.

隔天, 又搭了免费巴士到 KK 市区。 我们去了Gaya 街的星期天市场(只有每逢星期天才有的)。我是爱逛这类市场的人,因为可以淘到特别,又价廉物美的东西,尤其是手工艺品。我们大概逛了了三个小时。这人山人海的市场内包罗万象,有衣服,首饰,珍珠,手工艺品,宠物,食物,蔬菜水果。






I have bought pearl earring, hand-make necklace and my mum bought a pearl necklace. Actually, we are not good in differentiate the pearls, but seem the price is quite reasonable, and it looks nice , we decided to grab one home. (The long pearl necklace cost us RM 50 and ear ring cost RM8-9 per pair,).

Ps: Bargain price is a must when you purchase stuffs in this Gaya Market, the pearl necklace price was Rm130,we manage to close the deal with Rm50 after bargain.

我买了珍珠耳环,手工制作的项链,妈妈则买了一条长的珍珠项链。其实,我们并不懂得如何分辨珍珠,不过价格还Okay,而且蛮漂亮的,所以就决定买回来。
(长的珍珠链是RM 50 而 耳环是 Rm 8-9 per pair, 如果普通长度的珍珠链大概可以以RM20-RM30 买到)

Ps: 讨价还价是逛市场必须要做的事情,那珍珠链一开价就 Rm 130,结果成功杀价超过一半,以五十零吉成交。


We took breakfast in Xin Man Tai, Gaya street before shopping. Breakfast:  seafood bihun soup, fried noodles, and kong-lou noodles.
早餐:海鲜米粉,炒面,干捞面 - 新万泰,Gaya 街





We ate lunch at Yi Feng restaurant, which is located opposite the Atkinson Clock tower。Lunch: Laksa,  noodles。
午餐: Laksa 和干捞面  -怡丰餐馆 -Atkinson 钟塔对面




The next location was State museum and Cultural village. Museum is a  must place for me to visit whenever i reach a place. For me, Museum is a quick way for me to understand the history of the place and i enjoy hanging around museum very much ( The entrance fee is Rm 2). You can take Taxi from downtown to Museum, about Rm 8-9. You also can take a bus to Penampang direction, remember to stop when you noticed Queen Elizabeth Hospital on your right. There is a signboard  to museum near bus stop, about 5 minutes walking distance you will see the entrance to museum. Cultural village is just slight opposite the museum.

下一个地点是博物馆 和文化村。博物馆是一个快速了解一个地方的历史及文化的好去处。(入门票:RM 2). 你可以直接从市区做德士到博物馆,大概Rm8-9的德士费。当地也有巴士经过博物馆,你可以搭去Penampang 方向的巴士,然后在Queen Elizabeth 医院 对面下车,你会看到博物馆的牌,往小山丘走大约五分钟就可以看到博物馆大门了。文化村是在博物馆侧对面。







It's time for dinner. We decided to go Welcome Seafood Restaurant  recommend by my friends. The seafood is fresh especially the scallops. In general, the food in this restaurant was quite delicious...yummy yummy !
The crabs sell in the restaurant is very cheap only Rm18 per kg. Location: Asia City Complex , KK and
another branch in Penampang.


晚餐时间, 我们决定到朋友介绍的大茄来海鲜餐厅。这里的海鲜还满新鲜的尤其是那扇贝。值得一提的是这里的螃蟹只卖RM 18 per Kg, 非常便宜。Location: Asia City Complex,KK  ,另一间在Penampang.

周末出走记之景德果园度假村 Weekend Getaway to Kin Tick Orchard Village

The hustle , bustle city life make us hard to breathe, so back to the nature is the best way to rejuvenate the mind, soul and body.
城市繁忙的生活总让人透不过气,所以贴近大自然是一个从新回復,放松身心的好方法。

We decided to spend our weekend in the Kin Tick Orchard Village,  Bukit Tinggi,  just an hour drive from Kuala Lumpur. Kin Tick Orchard Village is very near to Betong town ( about 15 minutes).
我们一行人决定到景德果园度假村去度过周末。这度假村位于 Bukit Tinggi, 从吉隆坡约一个多小时的车程。这地方也非常靠近文冬市区,大约十五分钟。

Kin Tick Orchard Village 景德度假村


Depart from KL in the early morning and have our breakfast in Kepong, then continue our journey to Betong town to taste the homemade ice cream , we ordered the ABC plus ice cream which is famous, but for me.....the ABC plus ice cream just taste normal, nothing special......
一大早从吉隆坡出发,先到甲洞吃早餐,继续驱车到文冬大街吃自制的雪糕。 我们点了出名的杂果雪糕,但我个人觉得并不是特别好吃,满普通的。

ABC Plus homemade ice cream in Betong  杂果冰加自制雪糕,文冬  



We  reached The Orchard Village before the check-in time but luckily we are allowed to check in early. What surprising us is we need to cross a river before reach the village, so no choice we have to park our car outside and take a ride on the four wheels drive.
比预期的时间早到了,幸亏获得通融可以提早拿到房间。
让我们预想不到的是在到达度假村前,得先经过一条河流,别无选择,只好把车停在外边,搭上四轮驱车前往度假村。


Check-in  登记




There are three themes of room available, Bali house, Stone House and Hill house.  We rent a stone house, the room is spacious even though it is equipped with 4 queen side beds, a cupboard and a set of bamboo sofa, a long table. The room is far more better than what we imagined and is enough to fix eleven of us.
度假村内有三种不同的主题的房间,巴里屋,石头屋,山上小屋。 我们租了石头屋,虽然有四个双人床,,一个厨,一套竹沙发,和长桌子,但是房内还是显得非常空阔;足以容纳下我们是十一个人。

Here is Stone House 这是石头屋


Finish check in, put all luggage in the room and take a rest.  Then have a lunch in Valley Resort which is about 20 minutes from Betong town. Our lunch:  Nyonya steam Tillapia, Valley Resort's Chicken, Taufu, belacan paku pakis(Fern)  seaweed egg soup and coconut  water.  
完成登记, 放下行李 ,休一休息。 过后,我们便到离文冬市区大约二十分钟的山寨谷去吃午餐。我们的午餐:娘惹式蒸非洲鱼,山寨鸡肉,豆腐, 辣椒炒蕨类,紫菜蛋花汤 和椰水。

Valley Resort , it's location is quite unique as we need to drive through the rubber estate before reach the restaurant.  
山寨谷,它的位置蛮特别的,我们需要经过一大片的橡胶园才能到达这餐馆。 
                                                       

The first activity in the orchard village was cycling. There are free bicycle provided. From my experience, it was a bit hard to cycle around because the place is hilly and there is also limited compound for us to cycle around. Most of my friend did a good try to cross the river by cycling, it really work as there is a "flat" road built  and  the river is not very deep.
在度假村的第一个活动是骑脚踏车。他们有提供免费的脚踏车。从我的经验,在度假村内骑脚踏车还满吃力的,因为那地方有小山坡,平地确满少的,所以无法很过瘾的的骑。
朋友们都 尝试了骑脚踏车过河流,结果都成功了!不错不错!


The next activity was a short jungle trekking. The trail is short but nicely built with used tyres.
下一个活动是短短的森林徒步。一路上的小路都用轮胎铺好了,非常好走。


It is time to reward ourselves with food after a tired outdoor activities !  We have a yummy yummy dual soup steamboat as dinner. I liked Tomyan steamboat so much even though it was very spicy.(the steamboat is prepared by our own, don't worry there is a cafeteria near lobby for those didn't prepare own dinner)
经过了累人的户外活动,最好就是用食物来赏一赏自己!我们自己在房内弄了双汤火锅晚餐。我喜欢东炎味的火锅,虽然辣是辣了点,不过好吃!(如果自己没有准备,也可以到再柜台旁的餐定吃。)
 

At night, there is a karaoke session in the middle of the lobby. The karaoke is open...... really need courage to sing in front of so many people, luckily my three bravest friends managed to do it, even though the first song was out of pitch..hahahaha! (Anyway,  big claps to them ) .  We got belated birthday surprise for a friend after the karaoke session, he was really in surprise, yeah the plan work! Poker cards and Lami games (very similar to mahjong) are another activities that fill up our night.
晚上的活动有卡拉Ok。 这卡拉ok 是在大厅中央,真的是需要勇气才敢在大庭广众下高歌一曲。我那三个勇气可嘉的朋友成功的做到了。 哈哈!虽然第一首歌,跟不上节奏,有点走音,还是要给他一个大大的掌声!肖后,我们也准备了惊喜生日给其中一名朋友, 他那错愕,惊喜的表情 ,yeah, 我们的计划成功!扑克牌和Lami 是我们的后续活动。

   

The next morning, i woke up at seven and walk around the orchard village by myself. It's very relax with fresh air, listening to birds and insects chirping.... what a wonderful morning!
隔天一早,我七点起身后,便到度假村内溜达溜达。安静的清晨, 听这虫鸣声,鸟叫声,呼吸着新鲜的空气,是个多么轻松舒服的早上啊!

Morning View 


                                                                       Bali house


We went to Chamang waterfall after breakfast, the waterfall is beautiful. We have spends hours in this place.
吃过早餐后,我们便出发到 Chamang 瀑布。这瀑布还满漂亮的。我们大概花了一个多小时在这儿戏水。

                                                                 Hanging Bridge 吊桥


                                      Look! how enjoyable they are having a "fighting" in the water !
                                                          看!他们多“享受” 水中之战!


Backed to orchard village, take shower, lunch, packed up , check out and back to KL. A wonderful weekend getaway !
回到度假村,冲凉,吃午餐,收拾,退房,便驱车会吉隆坡。 真是一个轻松好玩的周末游!
