Day 1.倫敦/London

Megabus在清晨7點已經到了Victoria Coach Station。跟著朋友的介紹，坐了地鐵去到傳說中的"The breakfast club"去了。

Megabus arrived Victoria Coach Station around 7am. Then told the tube to the legendary "The breakfast club"

倫敦地鐵早上人流不多，稍後也會出現在這文章中。

坐了地鐵，趕上開門的時間了。8點正就到了Soho總店的門口。人流還沒有到，畢竟時間還是太早。不得不提，英國人做蛋跟廣東人做雞一樣，也是有特別多的方法。點了個水波蛋，其他的配搭也十分好吃。離場時，店外已經排滿長長的人龍了。這個時候我也準備出發到下一個景點︰大英博物館。

It's great to arrive sharp when the shop is opened. There are no queue and food is great. No wonder when I leaving, long queue is formed and I'm ready for my first location:the British Museum

慢慢走到博物館準備拍個照，結果那邊只有大量中國大媽。隨便走走看看，和一個爸爸聊上了。咱們聊教育，他問我為什麼到英國讀書，我告訴他不出來走走看不到外國的世界如何。我問他為什麼帶幾歲的兒子來這邊看看，他告訴我兒子還小，自己有能力帶他來看看喜不喜歡。慢慢聊到館子開了就入場了。裡面很多珍藏，可惜心情不太妙，看了兩小時就跑了出來。

Tons of tourists waiting for museum opening. While waiting, I have been talked with a Chinese father about matters about education. We both agreed that we need to grab the chances to understand more about the world. Have tried to learn the history/meaning of every displayed items... well, it's too much to understand and I've done with the museum with just two hours.

將就將就，一整晚沒有睡好了。/...The result of not sleep well.

在這個時候，介紹一下我的旅伴...

Time to introduce my travel partner...

Santander Cycles

嗯就是它了。這邊地鐵不便宜(在Zone 1 也要2鎊多)，倫敦市內景點距離不算太遠，單車(Santander cycles)租二十四小時兩鎊，只要每半小時把車子還到泊車點就不用加錢了(等5還是10分鐘就可以再開車了)。倫敦對單車也十分友善(可能是被逼的)，有單車徑，巴士線亦和單車共用。感覺就像在彌敦道慢慢踩車，後面拖著一條長長的巴士龍也沒人催趕，感覺爽到不行。慢慢的踩著，就跑到了交通迷必到的景點︰倫敦運輸博物館了。

Yes. It's Santander cycles inside London. Affordable price ( £2 per 24 hours/ return to docking station every 30 minutes) makes it a better choice for budget traveler. London is also a bike-friendly city: With lots of cycle way, building cycle superhighway and mixed bus/cycle lane makes you easy and safe access to travel with bike. Just a while, my bike reach Covent garden and the next stop: London Transport Museum

這家博物館是主館，還有一家分館。分館聽聞展品更多，但距離太遠，沒時間去了。這邊主要介紹從古到今倫敦交通的變遷。由馬車年代到地鐵出現，也有倫敦巴士的身影。車內裝依然保持著當年風格，絕對是值得一看的。特別的是，它們還展出來不同年代地鐵的標語，有些還讓人忍俊不禁，盡顯英式幽默。

I've visited the museum located at Covent Garden. The museum presenting items related to London transport history:Tram, Tube and bus. It is a good way to re-visit it with all the decor inside the cars are remain style while the stock services. They also show us the culture side: The poster at different stage in order to promote Tube/Safety message.

看完這個博物館後，時間已經不早了。隨意吃過晚餐後，就跑到青年旅舍睡覺了。這一家位於King Cross火車站旁邊的旅舍特別便宜，因此質素難免差了一點︰一個房間就放了6張碌架床。晚上打算睡的時候，隔壁床的朋友問了我一句︰要來點pot嗎? 我輕鬆的回絕了。那個時候，我以為這個晚上已經不太美妙了，身旁的人都在抽這種東西。如何想到，明天晚上又要一個不能進睡的夜晚...

The museum spend me some good time. Then I back to the hostel to take some rest afterward. The hostel is cheap in pricing, hence the quality of hostel is also expected: 6 bunk bed in a room, and a man going to take pot right next to me. As I believe it couldn't count a bad night for me, I never expect next night would be even worse...
