千帆起航

                                                                                             矗立在山上的天鵝堡

                                                                                             德國雙堡戀〈天鵝堡&羅騰堡〉         

                                                                                              ****本文照片全屬舊照翻拍***

                                                                              生平看到第一場下雪的實景是在老大小三的寒假，我們選擇

                                                                              到歐洲過春節，首站到了德國的羅騰堡，當我們正被那充滿

                                                                             中古世紀的情境迷悅時，一陣陣從空飄落的雪片，引起我們

                                                                            這群來自亞熱帶的遊客高聲驚呼：下雪了！下雪了！隨著越

                                                                            來越大，越來越密集的落雪，我們的驚呼聲也越來越高亢。

                                                                           當地的居民和周圍的遊客，都友善的回報我們會心的微笑。

                                                                            ~~~這群沒看過雪的土包子~~~

                                                                                                 充滿中古風 情的羅騰堡

                                                                                                 羅騰古堡

                                                                                                       羅騰堡的迷你飯店和咖啡屋

                                                                                                                德國香腸專賣店

                                                                                十餘年後的一月底，因德國的工作正好碰上台灣的農曆春

                                                                                 節，於是先生和老么一起上路，這是第一次有家人陪同的

                                                                                  公旅。退休前，每年一月到德國科隆，二、三月到新加

                                                                                  坡、馬來西亞、廣東，四月到米蘭，是上半年的固定行

                                                                                   程，通常都是秘書或助理同行。此行，別具意義，卻也波

                                                                                  折不斷。

                                                                                                      老照片翻拍的羅騰堡

                                                                                        羅騰堡美景依舊，也依然飄著雪花，大大的〝糖球〞

                                                                                        也依然可口，一樣是舒適的冬季，一樣是十餘年前

                                                                                        的場景，可氣氛怎麼就是不一樣，看不到笑意的ㄤ，

                                                                                        冷冷的躲在一邊，為了陪老么，不管他了。大人的

                                                                                        事， 難懂！開心的玩比較重要。天鵝堡矗 立在看似不

                                                                                        遠的山上，因為遊客多，山路積雪甚高，一律徒步上

                                                                                       山，天上不斷降下厚雪，腳底的積雪至膝，走來一路踉

                                                                                     蹌卻富野趣，這是台灣不可能的經驗，上山下山的人攜

                                                                                         攜攮攮，每個人滿臉笑意，都為天鵝堡的魅力而來，

                                                                                      下山的遊客會對還在上山的遊客比起大姆指，大喊：

                                                                                       GO！GO！GO！這就是西方人的熱情。

                                                                                                           往天鵝堡路上的雪樹

                                                                                                         路上一片白藹藹的景

                                                                                                              天鵝古堡就在眼前

                                                                                                               城堡的另一面

                                                                                  整個被白雪覆蓋的天鵝堡，真的就像瓊樓玉宇，白色的雄

                                                                                偉建築，傲然的矗立在山上，從山下的任何一個角度，都

                                                                                可以看到她不凡的身影。怪不得在零下10度的寒冬，在被

                                                                               白雪層封的季節，仍有這許多來朝聖的觀光客，白雪藹藹的

                                                                               美，一望無際的白，白得讓你目眩神移，簡直像到了童話世

                                                                              界一般。這是一次不太完美的旅行，因為離我遠遠的ㄤ，始

                                                                            終對我板著臉，只有團友善意幫我們拍照時，勉強還擠出一

                                                                            絲笑紋，真洩氣。我雖然有點不是滋味，可是美景當前，我

                                                                              還是自得其樂，和孩子投入白雪中。

                                                                            為歡最樂，不想破壞工作後輕鬆的心情，還是開心的與大自

                                                                            然為伍吧！
