去五渔村 – Heading to Cinque Terre

2026年5月28日,星期四,2026北部意大利之旅的第七天

Thursday, May 28, 2026 — Day 7 of Our Northern Italy Trip

昨晚,五渔村民宿的主人发来消息,提醒我们从今晚9点到明晚9点,意大利铁路系统将进行全国性罢工。看到消息时,我俩还暗自庆幸:还好我们的行程安排得早。虽然今天需要换乘三趟火车,但按原计划,下午三点半左右就能抵达五渔村,理论上完全不会受到影响。

然而,意大利铁路显然比我们想象中更”自由”。

Last night, the owner of our Cinque Terre Airbnb sent us a message reminding us that Italy’s railway system would be affected by a nationwide strike from 9 PM tonight until 9 PM tomorrow. When we saw the message, we quietly congratulated ourselves on planning ahead. Although we needed to change trains three times today, our itinerary had us arriving in Cinque Terre at around 3:30 PM, well before the strike was supposed to begin. In theory, we should have been completely unaffected.

However, Italy’s rail system turned out to be even more “flexible” than we had imagined.

三个小镇 – Three Towns


2026年5月26日,星期二,2026北部意大利之旅的第五天

Tuesday, May 26, 2026 — Day 5 of Our Northern Italy Trip

今天我们打算坐渡船去另外两个小镇逛一逛。昨天已经提前买好了今天的渡轮一日通票,17.5欧元一张,一天之内可以无限次乘坐。从瓦伦纳到贝拉焦的航程大约15分钟,湖面很平静,船慢慢划过水面,两岸的风景也在眼前一点点展开。贝拉焦是科莫湖更大的一个小镇,相比瓦伦纳少了一些小镇气质,但整体依然很漂亮。这里同样有湖景、狭窄的小巷、各式小店和石板街道,有着几百年历史的教堂和钟楼,整体更热闹一些。

Today we plan to take the ferry to visit two other towns around the lake. We had already bought day passes for the ferries yesterday — 17.5 euros each for unlimited rides throughout the day. The ride from Varenna to Bellagio took about 15 minutes. The lake was very calm, and the ferry slowly moved across the water as the scenery on both shores gradually unfolded before us.

瓦伦纳的一天 – A Day in Varenna

2026年5月25日,星期一 ,2026北部意大利之旅的第四天

Monday, May 25, 2026 — Day 4 of Our Northern Italy Trip

因为这里白天人潮拥挤,今天早上七点多我就起床,想独自拥有这个小镇。PJG在民宿继续睡觉。果然,清晨的瓦伦纳非常安静,除了几家餐厅的工作人员开始为新一天做准备,几乎看不到游客。我和小熊慢慢走在空荡的小巷和湖边步道上,阳光洒下来,整个小镇被一层柔和的光笼罩着。没有喧闹的人群,只有湖水的微光和偶尔的脚步声,这段清晨的瓦伦纳显得格外安静,也格外美好。

Because the town gets extremely crowded during the day, I woke up a little after seven this morning, hoping to have the town to myself. So, while PJG slept, I found that sure enough, Varenna was incredibly quiet in the early morning. Aside from a few restaurant workers preparing for the new day, there were almost no tourists around.

去科莫湖 – Going to Lake Como

2026年5月24日,星期日 ,2026北部意大利之旅的第三天

Sunday, May 24, 2026 — Day 3 of Our 2026 Northern Italy Trip

中午11点20分的火车,我们今天前往科莫湖。从民宿出发先乘地铁2号线,大约30多分钟抵达米兰中央火车站。在车站旁边的一家咖啡店买了两个羊角面包当早餐。本来想着时间还早,还可以简单逛一下这座米兰的地标建筑,它是意大利北部最重要的铁路枢纽之一,也是欧洲最大的火车站之一,建筑本身融合了多种风格,气势非常宏大。

Our train to Lake Como was scheduled for 11:20 AM today. Leaving the Airbnb, we first took Metro Line 2 and arrived at Milano Centrale railway station about thirty minutes later. At a café near the station, we bought two croissants for breakfast.
