Christine和Shannon瘋狂又冒险的旅行可谓是充满了戏剧性.在摘水果赚外快的计划泡汤之后,她们又陷入了囊中羞涩的困境.这一次,为了能够参观期待已久的斯特灵城堡,她们竟然当起了乞丐等
The two backpacking girls’ funds were low and their hopes of getting work picking berries on a fruit farm were dashed1. But at least they still had wheels and were headed for a day in Stirling2 with the hope of visiting the famous Stirling Castle.
We didn’t have much choice as to where we were going but, in life, if you can “go with the flow”3, and take what comes your way, it makes life much easier. We had no idea though how far we would go that day. There is also the saying that “beggars can’t be choosers”4. And with very little money left, and no jobs lined up, we had no option but to stay with Ian for at least another day. But little did we know how close we would come to being real beggars that day.
Ian, who we were travelling with, had house-shared with us in Henley-on-Thames when we had worked at the tavern near there.5 He still seemed happy to have us along but we both felt very uncomfortable with him. He now had work to do in Stirling so we headed west to the centre of Scotland once again. We did the trip in just over an hour and were happy to arrive in Stirling by mid-morning. Ian dropped us off and told us he would collect us again in three hours.
We had three hours to explore what had long ago been a medieval old town with a royal citadel on the River Forth.6 Stirling sits in the centre of Scotland and, while today is only a smallish town with the town’s population being just under 50,000, it is important as a university town and popular tourist centre. But, even more important, it has a grand history. Many Scottish kings and queens were crowned here, including James VI who would become king of both Scotland and England in 1603, unifying and bringing peace to both countries.
Stirling Castle was built on a rocky hill as a fortress7 guarding the surrounding area. It is not enough to see it from the outside though because, in the late 1400s, James IV had transformed it into a stunning Renaissance court；8 he had wanted a palace as good as any of those in Europe. He undertook great building works and attempted to make it a centre of learning. He died young and his son James V continued his work using the money from his two marriages to rich French women. He married French women as he wanted to build a close link between Catholic9 France and Scotland. But James V also died young and the work was continued in grandiose style by Mary of Guise,10 his second wife, then a widow.
