7 Cruises(1)

Xiangjiang is beginning to enter the European summer with a sense of temperature, and Lin Yilong knows that it is time for him to leave.

During Lin Yilong's time in Xiangjiang, Amy's chief audition was very successful, and the ballet actress, who had just graduated for a year, successfully became the new female principal of "Royal Ballet".

The stage changes won't take effect until after the Proms festival in September of this year, but it's not very appropriate for Amy to perform a group dance. In this way, Amy was put on a long vacation, except for two guest seats on two foreign visits in June and July, the rest was her own time - just had time to accompany Lin Yilong to make up for the "Christmas holiday" that was delayed for various reasons.

"This is my first time in Xiangjiang. "When Amy flew to Lantau Island at 10pm GMT, it was already nightfall.

"It's good to be here. Lin Yilong took Amy's trolley suitcase, and the contents were not too many according to his requirements.

In response to inquiries, Lin Yilong has been staying at the InterContinental Hotel opposite Victoria Bay at his own expense – while others unconsciously live in the central area or mid-levels facing the peninsula, he prefers the more prosperous side of the city.

Amy signed a new contract, as usual, there is a settling-in fee or signing fee such as income, this three-year 16,000 pounds is not a lot, but the difference in exchange suddenly made Amy a little rich woman in Xiangjiang. After 12 hours of recuperation on the plane, I took the Airport Express and went straight to Central, intending to buy and buy all kinds of shopping.

In shopping, the young girl seems to be another animal - Amy has been practicing for the chief audition for a month and a half, but when she arrives at the mall, she seems to have accumulated fatigue as if it is not there, and she takes the trouble to try this and try that. The logic of "women are those who please themselves" makes Lin Yilong, as a male companion, even if he is a little tired, he has to express some personal impressions of the clothes Amy tried on.

As a result, at 9 p.m. when the mall was about to close, Amy didn't buy any other clothes except for the skincare products that she couldn't get on the plane.

Lin Yilong was already tired, and after returning to the hotel, he took a shower, but only lasted until Amy finished bathing, with his face next to her collarbone, and fell asleep.

The next morning, Amy was pulled up by Lin Yilong with sleepy eyes - the process of dealing with jet lag is always painful, but there is no better way to get rid of it. They have a tight schedule today, in addition to visiting the attractions, in the evening, they will board the cruise ship and start the cruise to London.

Since Lin Yilong arrived in the UK, he has had three "relatively simple" travel goals: one is to travel from his hometown to Wales by train, the second is to follow in the footsteps of government students through the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea to Southampton, and the third is to ride a motorcycle from Europe to Yanjing along the northern route of the Silk Road.

Now it seems that only cruise travel is acceptable, which Father and Mother Lin have just finished their train journey and think it is too boring, and motorcycle tours through the no-man's land of Siberia or Central Asia are dangerous: cruise tours are more acceptable by comparison.

Many people have a misunderstanding of the use of the terms cruise ship or cruise ship, although in some cases the two mean the same thing.

At that time, Royal Mail chose some large passenger ships as carriers of postal parcels and letters, and marked their own insignia on the back of these, which is the same as the meaning of "royal supplier" now, which is a kind of "security guarantee", and people call this kind of postal insignia ship "cruise ship".

After World War II, because of the rise of air travel, ships were affected by both passengers and postal services, and Royal Mail also canceled the trademark emblem on the hull, but people still called those ships that were removed from the "Royal Mail" insignia as cruise ships, and shipping companies were very happy to do so because of their reputation. In the 80s, when ocean-going passenger transportation was completely replaced by aircraft, shipping companies transformed into travel agencies, and most of the passenger ships under their ownership became ocean-going cruise ships, and at the same time, the terminology was completely changed.

Even though the English has been changed thoroughly, the Chinese translation has not been adjusted accordingly, and some travel agencies still use the title "cruise" in their promotion.

Amy actually came here to go on a cruise with Lin Yilong, and the tour of Xiangjiang was just a passing product. After breakfast, I entrusted my luggage to the special person who was responsible for checking it on board, and they still had time to take a stroll around Xiangjiang.

Amy in the Central District has already taken advantage of the night to stroll, and the Victoria Peak, the Walled City, and the fishing village of Aberdeen have become the main attractions of the day for the two.

"The scenery here is very similar to that of Nanshan!" "At the top of Taiping Mountain, Amy compared the scenery of Nanshan and Taiping Mountain, "similar cable car elevators, similar locations, you can see other mountains and rivers, if you compare Victoria Bay to the Han River, Taiping Mountain to Nanshan, it is really ....."

"It's still a little different. Lin Yilong also thought so when he first started in Nanshan, but Hancheng has no urban area restrictions, and the visual is much flatter, "I always feel that the landscape of the skyscrapers here in Xiangjiang is much better than the military facilities that can only see the scenery in Nanshan (Mijun Longshan Station)." ”

Seeing the first scene of his country's capital being teased by Lin Yilong like this, Amy couldn't say anything, because this was the case.

After taking two photos, the two were a little interested, and chose another way down the mountain to the fishing village of Aberdeen.

There are two places that could not have been of interest to Amy, a foreigner who was neither Western nor entirely of the East. The fishing boat dock in the trade can't whet Amy's appetite, and given the nature of the Kowloon Walled City, Amy will be even less interested there.

Amy is still very curious about the corridor in the central area of Xiangjiang and the elevator in the middle of the mountain, like a child. The two took the elevator three times before they were "addicted".

After a quick bite to eat, head back to the hotel for a short swim in the sports center before it was time for final boarding.

After verifying the passport at the flight counter, getting the room card, and participating in the escape drill, the pre-check-in procedure was completed.

Cruise ships require both money and time, in other words, the cruise guests are limited to the elderly, especially in late February just after the Spring Festival holiday.

"We're not going to be like that, are we? Before dinner, Amy asked the elderly gentleman and lady who were struggling to carry their luggage.

"No, it won't. Lin Yilong replied, "Look at my parents, don't they still nag very energetically every day." ”
