Restaurant Review食评 :- La Margherita, Magdalene Street,Cambridge剑桥, UK英国

We spent all the day sightseeing in beautiful Cambridge - a delightful college town in Eastern England. 60 miles North of London.
我们花了一整天游览美丽的剑桥——一个位于英格兰东部,距离伦敦60英里的令人愉悦的大学。

We felt hungry at 8pm and it was still light so we found a gem of a restaurant called 'La Margherita' on Magdalene Street.
晚上8点我们觉得饿了,那时候天还亮着。所以我们在Magdalene街找到了一个珍宝般的小饭馆,名叫 'La Margherita'。














The waiter was friendly and really well organised. Service was quick and he was considerate enough to warn us that the plates were extra hot!
服务生非常友好,一切都被安排得井井有条。上菜很快,而且他考虑很周到,提醒我们小心盘子特别烫。

The ambient intellectual atmosphere was splendid.
周围坐满边吃饭边高谈阔论的人,知识分子气息浓厚,感觉特好。

We ordered the following :-
我们点了下面的菜:

Cannelloni con Ricotta(rolls of Pasta filled with Spinach and Ricotta Cheese with a tomato and bechamel sauce) £10.05
干酪烤卷子(填满菠菜和意大利乳清干酪的面卷,配番茄和调味酱)10镑5分














Pizza Sillician (Pizza topped with Tomato, Buffalo Mozzarella, capers, olives and aubergines) £9.60
This was the best pizza I have ever tasted in my life!
西西里批萨(铺满番茄,水牛乳酪,酸豆,橄榄,茄子的批萨)9镑6毛
这是我这辈子吃过的最好吃的批萨!














The bill was very reasonable - less than £20 - great value.
账单非常合理——不到20镑——超值。

Review of Rosewood Inn (Hotel), Yangshuo, Guilin, China

点评:中国桂林阳朔玫瑰木宾馆

We arrived quite Tired after the Li Jiang Cruise.
We had booked a 2 twin bed room on the 2nd floor with a Balcony - unfortunately a lot of Mosquitos had come in from the Balcony.
We asked to move rooms and the staff were so helpful and obliging.
We moved to a 3 single bed room on the first floor(ground floor) with No windows - but a lovely bathroom and was close to reception - we had lots of space.
It was peaceful and quiet and relaxing.
Not noisy - as it was off West Street - which parties all night!!
Free Chocolates and water were provided and the linen was clean.
We could get discount at many restaurants that are also owned by the same owner (from Hong Kong) - so that was advantageous.
The Manager has very good English and her employees are very helpful.
Some other hotel guests were chain smokers but luckily we just had to put up with that for 1 night - as you may be aware there is no smoking ban in China!
We could hire bikes for 25 rmb per day - quite cheap!!
Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Nice Rooms.
Friendly and helpful Staff.
Arranged a Taxi to Guilin for us for 200RMB.
