【義大利·Praiano+Minori】中文在英文之後
“My dear friend, I am writing this post to again show you my appreciation for helping a stranger like me. “
Travel is like life. You make foolish mistakes sometimes. Before I talk about how Gabriel came to our rescue, I’d like to explain how the bus driver sent me on a bus that took us to the top of Ravello hill.
We booked a hotel called E Poi Ravello. So you see how easy it was to mistaken the location of our hotel to be Ravello instead of Minori to which Gabriel (and later his entire family) carried our suitcases.
When we were dropped off at the top of the hill and the bus driver simply refused to communicate with me. I quickly googled the distance from where we were to Minori. It was about 29 minutes by foot. I was warned by a taxi driver that there would be stairs. But I decided to give it a try anyway. It can’t be all stairs.
Nevertheless, I was so wrong and ended up being completely soaking wet like a Chinese saying: “a pathetic dog falling in the river”. I didn’t know how much longer I could last with only my flip-flops on.
The rest is history as Gabriel walked by and asked me if I needed help. I know it was a lot to help and yet I didn’t have the chance to treat Gabriel and his family some drinks. I still feel pretty much mortified.
旅行就像人生一樣，我們都會愚蠢犯錯。我們三人聽從了上一班巴士司機的建議搭上了一班往Ravello的車。下車後發現我們在山頭，旅館在山腳下。如果搭車回去再轉車可能要浪費兩個多小時，所以我決定照著估狗地圖向下走半小時應該會到。
然而分次提著三個箱子走了不到四分之一都是階梯的路，我發現自己錯的離譜。但是心想該不會一路都是樓梯吧？於是硬著頭皮向下走到將近一半時，我已經全身濕透，手腳都有些發抖了。
這時我的救命天使經過，好心地問了一句要不要幫忙提。我說箱子真的很重，這樣不好意思。他所沒關係，他可以幫忙。我欣然接受。沿路聊起天來。
他是個廚師，帶著廚藝四處旅居工作。這次跟家人一起出遊，明天就要離開這裡了。因為旅行的關係他認識了現在的女友，下週就要去見未來的岳父母。聽著他的經歷，不禁令人羨慕。年紀輕輕28歲就已擁有許多經歷。
我們走走停停沿途俯瞰欣賞山谷海灣美景。也許這將會是我此生最難忘的景色之一。我也將永遠記得跟義大利人有多麼難溝通啊！
