Chapter 167: Running to the Prairie (Ask for Subscription!)
There are three trains in Pride of Africa, with multiple routes to choose from, and even the room types have three options: Royal Suite, Deluxe Suite, and Junior Suite.
Filial piety such as Xia Yu naturally chose the most expensive royal suite for his parents, and he also wanted to get a set, but the pride of Africa is very well-known in the West, and it is basically a reservation system.
Forget it, an ordinary luxury suite is not bad, and you can enjoy five-star service on the mobile train, Xia Yu is full of expectations for the next journey.
This time, they opted for the annual nine-day discovery tour of Namibia, which takes them from the highland grasslands across the desert to the Atlantic coast, where they can enjoy the most extreme and varied scenery.
Of course, there is a more expensive 15-day trip to the century, thousands of kilometers of travel will run through most of the African continent, Xia Yu has the heart to experience it, but unfortunately the time is not enough, he still has to set aside a few days to get down to business.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Pride of Africa......"
Before the departure, Mr. Rohan Worth began to give a speech, Xia Yu could understand, Lao Xia could follow, and Lin Shuqin didn't know what the white old man was talking about, but it was right to applaud together in the end.
After giving a welcome speech and getting on the bus on time, Rohan Voss shook hands with every passenger and personally sent everyone on the bus, which can be described as full of ceremony, and Xia Yu's family of three also felt very fresh.
After getting in the car, he came to his room, Xia Yu looked around and found that it was fifteen square meters.
The Sparrow is small but has all the necessary accessories, with individual air conditioning, sofa, refrigerator, king-size bed, underfloor heating, large windows that can be opened and a private bathroom, and you can even lie in the bathtub and enjoy the ever-changing scenery outside the window.
As for Lao Xia, their royal suite is even more powerful, the room area is close to twenty square meters, and the decoration is more luxurious and elegant, Xia Yu looks a little sour.
"Lao Xia, hurry up and take a picture of me here, and here. ”
Since getting on the train, Lin Shuqin seems to be twenty years younger, beckoning her wife to take pictures of herself from various angles.
I don't want to come, but it's too real that my attitude has become so fast!
Xia Yu complained in his heart and helped the two close the door.
Take your time, and see if your phone has enough storage for nine days.
"Toot ~~"
The whistle sounded, and the steam locomotive emitted billowing white mist, and the train slowly drove out of the train station and accelerated towards the vast grassland in the distance.
Sitting on the sofa chair, Xia Yu turned on the camera and took a picture of the scenery outside the car window.
Suddenly, several black and white smears broke into the camera, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be a group of running zebras.
Xia Yu became interested, opened the car window and whistled directly, and under the launch of the King of the Prairie Buff, the zebra herd who heard his whistle immediately approached.
Compared to their compatriots in the zoo, these zebras living in the wild appear more spiritual, and they are shown spreading their hooves and chasing the train happily.
Passengers in other carriages also spotted this group of elves, and took out their mobile phones and cameras to take pictures and record their elegant figures.
This herd of zebras is just the beginning, and the deeper the train goes into the grassland, the more wild animals appear in the eyes of passengers.
Seeing the animal world is more profound than looking at the animal world through a screen, and you never know what you're going to see in the next second compared to a show that has been filmed for a long time.
This alone makes Xia Yu feel that it is worth the ticket price, not to mention that he also has the King of the Prairie Buff.
If it weren't for the other passengers, he would have wanted to run out of the window and ride on horseback.
Don't say that wild zebras are irritable by nature, they are lion hippos, and Xia Yu can ride them after launching the Buff.
A few hours flew by, and soon it was time for lunch, and the food provided by Africa Pride was more Western-style and tasted okay.
The snacks and fruits for afternoon tea are available in unlimited quantities, which is very good, some people say that you can eat fruit when you travel to Southeast Asia, and the same is true when you come to Africa.
In the quiet afternoon, Xia Yu sat on the open observation deck at the back of the carriage, eating fruit in a daze.
The theme of Pride of Africa is African Exploration and Nineteenth-Century Classics, the locomotive is a steam locomotive, and the carriages are also collected by Mr. Voss from all over the world, many of which are more than 150 years old.
Sitting in such a carriage makes you feel the confusion of time and space, and in order to maintain this unique feeling, everyone tacitly agrees not to use electronic devices outside their rooms.
It's great, and what's even better is that everyone comes to the dining car in formal attire for dinner.
Compared with the lazy and casual at noon, the dining car in the evening is solemn and elegant, the conductor rings the dinner bell, and the passengers in suits and leather shoes rush in.
Lao Xia and Lin Shuqin were not prepared, but fortunately, Xia Yu thought it through and prepared suits and dresses for his parents in advance.
The two of them wear a fit that fits, but they are a little uncomfortable psychologically, after all, it is the first time they have worn it at this age.
"The big girl is on the sedan chair, who is not the first time, parents, do you say that this dress is beautiful?"
"It's pretty, but no one of us wears it like that!"
Wearing a violet-colored dress, Lin Shuqin looked like a noble lady at the moment.
"I didn't let you wear it like this every day, and you always thought that the devil would see that I couldn't wear it beautifully. ”
Xia Yu explained that he was cultivating his parents' dressing and living habits.
He's constantly improving, and his parents have to keep up, but real life is not, even if he doesn't sacrifice his parents, he can make them completely invisible, and he won't come out until the finale.
"The stinky boy has such a sweet mouth, why haven't you cheated on a girlfriend until now?"
Lin Shuqin is very useful for her son's praise, but she will not miss the opportunity to expose her shortcomings, parents and children will always love and kill each other.
"This, isn't this the rising period of my career, Mom, don't worry, our freshness period is long, and no one will worry about it when I become the fifth diamond king." ”
Xia Yutui said that after having the system, his three views have changed somewhat, his requirements have become higher, and his vision has become picky.
Many people are not picky eaters because they don't have to pick, not because they don't want to pick, Xia Yu already has the capital to pick, but he is still waiting.
"Just blow it!"
Lin Shuqin glanced at her son, but did not continue to urge.
To be honest, Xia Yu is only 20 years old, and now he can make so much money, there is no need to urge at all, most of the parents who can urge marriage are afraid that the goods will be smashed in their hands, and holding their grandchildren or something is secondary.
The packed family of three went to the dining car for dinner.
As night falls on the grassland, the food truck is lit up, and the melodious and soothing music is the sound of knives and forks colliding on porcelain plates.
The steppe predators outside the train also have dinner, but their dinner is only about blood and carnage.
