輸入完畢填寫個人資料,一個人收費55歐元一晚,網站會幫你選擇目的地,幫你訂住宿(含早餐)。就這樣,我們完全不知道我們要去哪~(太刺激了!)
One day H was checking his schedule, then he found out that he'll have 3-4 days off the next week. We wanted to go travelling but we don't know where, then H decided to try "Surprise Me".

Basically you only need to tell them you want to go by flight/car/public transport, how many days, city or suburb. Then they will arrange everything for you. We chose road trip, 3 days 2 nights, suburb. Then filled out some personal information and paid. Now, we don't need to do anything, don't know where we are going, just wait until the day.....
我們的行程是星期三出發(三/四/五),前一個星期五網站會告知目的地天氣,我們被告知氣溫在21-23度,陰而時晴,感覺天氣很舒服喔!一直猜想會不會去德國,還一直問腦公會不會說德文(因為我們選鄉下很害怕語言無法溝通)。星期六的早上收到一個包裹!裡面有地圖(因為我們選自駕),黑色信封(裡面是我們的住宿確認,要當天才可以打開),還有一張卡片,寫著我們的密碼(當天早上刮開輸入到網站內就可以得知"方向")!超級有趣的啊!
Our trip was on Wednesday. The Friday before we got the information about the weather of our destination, it was about 21-23 degrees and some cloud some sun. Sounds pretty good. On Saturday we received a package, with the road map, a black envelope (with our accommodation in it) and a card. The card has a scratch place with codes inside. We can only scratch it on the day of departure and enter the code on the website, then we will find out the direction we should drive to. We tried the night before our departure date and it didn't work hahaha.
出發當天輸入密碼得知我們的方向是"Mechelen",我還認真google了一下得知是在比利時~我倆還恍然大悟地到處說“原來是要去比利時啊!” 殊不知這只是“方向”啊!導航定位Mechelen開一開腦公說要去休息站尿尿,在比利時境內我們把地圖拿出來,地圖旁邊又有一個刮刮樂,裡面藏著我們的最終目的地!兩人決定就在休息站給他刮開!一看!啥鬼?居然是法國!
On the day of departure, we logged on the website and found out that our direction is "Mechelen", a nice town in Belgium. After picked up the car and setted the navigation to Mechelen, we told everyone we are going to Belgium. While resting at a service, we took out our road trip and found that our 'destination' is hiding under the scratch!! We decided to do it, and then, found out........ We are actually going to FRANCE!!!
我們的民宿是18世紀的建築,民宿老闆娘超可愛可是英文很不好@@ (不過還是非常和藹的告訴我們房子的歷史!)老闆娘也推薦了兩個鄰近的城市隔天可以去看看。check in 後就先在這可愛的鄉村走走啦!(旁邊有步道,我們就去走了6公里左右@@)
This is our lovely accommodation. The room is amazing and the host is brilliant! She recommended us some nearby cities to visit and there's a walk next to the house. We decided to look around this villiage after checked in and then go for the walk for nearly 6 kms....
這個根本就是蜜月套房啊!圓形的床,衛浴在樓上,房間小可是超可愛的!感覺就是老闆跟老闆娘自己蓋的!早餐在房間吃,老闆娘前一天會問要幾點吃,約定的時間到了會聽到一串的雞啼鳥叫牛鳴(從喇叭出來的)然後門一開就會發現早餐籃!XD 太有趣了!
The room is like for honeymoon!! Round bed, ensuite (bathroom upstairs), espresso machine with coffee, tea, hot chocolate! Fridge and microwave!! The breakfast is in the room, when the arranged time arrives, we will hear 'special sounds' then open the door, we found a basket full of fresh crossiant, bread, cheese, jam and fruit! Fresh orange juice is in the fridge every day! This is like heaven hahaha~
第二天我們跑去比較遠的Lille(里耳),法國北部最大的城市。老闆娘說很適合年輕情侶去~今天天氣很好,從民宿開車到這邊大約1個半小時。很漂亮的一個城市~少了巴黎的喧囂跟觀光客,雖然是一個大城市不過感覺悠閒多了!我在這邊不小心買了3件衣服哈哈哈!
The next day we visited Lille, really pretty and big city. Everyone is so friendly (a guy came to us while I was checking my googlemap, then he told us to go into a hidden market!)
因為車程一個半小時,晚餐決定去離民宿最近的大城市Maubeuge去吃。跟Lille比起來Maubeuge感覺是老人住的地方@@雖然他在地圖上看起來也頗大..... 無魚蝦也好,還是比我們的小鎮選擇多了!
第二天因為是回程了,我們決定去造訪Mons(蒙斯),蒙斯位在比利時,他是2015年歐盟的文化首都。由於Leeuwarden將會是2018年的文化首都,我們都迫不及待的參訪看看別人怎麼做的。
The second day we visited Mons on the way back. As the European Culture Capital of 2015, Mons has attracted a lot of attention of visitors. This beautiful city reminds me of Italy! Maybe because of it's hills and old buildings. We really enjoy this city! Unfortunately They don't have any exhibitions about the culture capital anymore.
腦公說這個木頭的設計棚子是為了文化首都做的。雖然是星期五,街上來往的觀光客很少,也看不太到作為文化首都後他們真正帶給了這個城市什麼~感覺好像跟歐盟拿了錢,請了有名的設計師蓋了這東西,還新建了設計博物館(我們有去完全沒人啊櫃台的人還在打瞌睡!)一年過後這裡的市民有得到什麼嗎?當地的觀光有因為這個頭銜而蓬勃起來嗎?後續的計畫感覺是比較需要被深入討論的議題~
Mons is really pretty. Not sure what was happening but the rubbish bags are everywhere around the city (maybe the cleaners are on strike). We can see many signs and flags about European Culture Capital but when we entered the main building the staff told us that there's nothing to see here. We went to the design museum, while no visitor was there and the staff was almost sleeping! It's really sad to see that they have got so much budget from EU and after a year it feels nothing improved. :( We couldn't stay long becasue we wanted to be back to Rotterdam before the traffic, so we left after lunch. Maybe next time I would like to stay there for a night and get to know about the city more!
