Chapter 444, Private Guide
Two cars drove on the road one after the other, and only occasionally could you see a car coming from the opposite side on the road, and it was always empty behind them, no one drove past them, and all drivers would drive very slowly in such a dark night.
Ye Kai sat in Andre's car, with the co-pilot, followed by Ji Qing and Saoirsa.
The car in Iceland is right-hand drive, and Ye Kai sat on the left side of the car with a feeling that he was also driving, and he couldn't help but concentrate and finally got rid of the problem of lack of sleep.
In fact, it's not that there is not enough time to sleep, but this long dark night always makes Ye Kai think that the night has not passed.
Although the time is already 8 o'clock in the morning, it always makes people have the illusion of 4 o'clock in the morning, and no one in modern society can get up at 4 o'clock in the morning and say that they have woken up, right?
It was almost eleven o'clock when the car drove to the Golden Falls, and it was not yet dawn.
However, by the starlight in the sky, it is possible to clearly see the appearance of the waterfall now, and it is still as spectacular, and the surrounding area of the pool below has begun to freeze due to the slow flow.
But when I stood far away, I saw a different view.
The surrounding hills are bare in the summer, with no trees and no green grass. The last time I saw it, the withered yellow grass covered the mountains on both sides of the waterfall.
And now, with the heavy snow falling during this time, the mountain range, which was originally a bald man, suddenly put on a thick snow coat for himself, as if he had spent money to buy a very expensive skin, and it seemed that his whole temperament had changed.
Ji Qing pointed to the mountain on the left side of the waterfall and said: "That mountain can be climbed, there is a rope from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, we can hold the rope all the way up the mountain, have you climbed the snow mountain?"
"Crawl through. Ye Kai nodded.
Saoirse pouted and shook her head, there are no snow-capped mountains in Ireland, and even if there were, Saoirse didn't have time to climb the snow-capped mountains before.
Ji Qing smiled: "That's great, now you can experience the feeling of climbing a snowy mountain, and the altitude here is not high, you can feel like a snowy mountain when you climb up, but it won't be very tiring." ”
Everyone got out of the car, and Kelly and they also walked over and asked, "How's it going, does it look good?" ”
Ye Kai looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and nodded.
Although it is not raining or snowing now, the weather is still not very good, and the indescribable cold wind is no longer howling on the continent all the time, making everyone wear down jacket hats.
There are not many tourists, the last time Ye Kai came here, he couldn't find a place to park, but today when he came here, there were empty parking spaces everywhere, and he could find a place to park casually.
Climbing this mountain does not require much preparation, it is good to dress thick and climb the mountain with a group of people.
The route is on the right side of the waterfall, and the whole journey is estimated to be six or seven hundred meters, anyway, it is very short, and you can see what the top of the snow-capped mountain looks like from the foot of the mountain.
While other snow-capped mountains require perennial snow to become snow-capped mountains, Iceland's snow-capped mountains only need a few months of snow to become a new landscape that is not inferior to other snow-capped mountains.
It's just that the road is a bit difficult to walk.
Originally, it was very fluffy snow, and although it was tiring to step on, it was very stable and comfortable, but because people came to play and stepped on it over and over again, the snow was pressed into a solid snow block.
Without this rope that runs from the bottom to the top, it would have been many times more difficult to climb than it is now.
After walking for an hour, it was finally dawn.
The polar night days are already passing, and in about three months, Iceland will enter the polar day, when the sun will be in the sky even in the early hours of the night.
After dawn, the sun shines down, and the world becomes brighter and clearer.
The last time Ye Kai came over, he didn't go up this mountain, but now it took a long time to come up and find that the field of vision has become so vast, there are not many mountains in Iceland, and Ye Kai can even see the ocean in the distance when he stands here.
After a fifteen-minute break, I went back along the road.
Ye Kai's ability to see the weather is stronger than the Icelanders here, and it will definitely snow heavily in another hour, so it's time to drive back to Reykjavik down the mountain.
"Other people Saoirse finally came to Iceland once, did you just receive it, and what activities did you prepare for the evening?"
"Be prepared to find a quiet hotel for a candlelit dinner. ”
"Eat lamb chops?" Ji Qing asked curiously.
"Of course, I think that's the biggest surprise in Iceland besides the culture...... It would be good if you could breed in China, and you would definitely make a lot of money, but the cold places in our country are very high in altitude, and I don't know if it will work. ”
Ji Qing also said: "It's probably no play, in fact, I thought about it this way at the beginning......"
It's still early days, and after returning to Reykjavik, everyone gathers at Kelly's house, and Ji Qing and Andre buy a lot of ingredients at the supermarket downstairs to prepare for hot pot.
Of course, the base material is prepared by Ji Qing.
Ye Kai went to Ji Qing's house, and her parents often sent Ji Qing a lot of small snacks that are only available in Huaxia, and there are several kinds of hot pot bases, which is simply a small Huaxia supermarket.
Soon six people were gathered together, and in the middle was a hot pot soup soaked with red chili peppers.
Ye Kai said that he was going to Egypt after Kelly's engagement ceremony, and then went to see the Sahara Desert, Ji Qing asked curiously: "Where is the Sahara Desert?
"Almost, it's big, it's across several countries, but what we generally say about the Sahara is next to the Atlantic Ocean. ”
But when it came to the Sahara Desert, Kelly's face became serious, and he grabbed his curly hair and said, "Do you want to cross the desert?"
"I have this idea, but I have to look at it when I get there. ”
Crossing the desert is not as dangerous as before, although there is still a lot of hardship, but Ye Kai feels that it is worth it to endure a little hardship to get such a rare experience.
Saoirse was surprised and asked, "You want to cross the Sahara Desert?"
"Just an idea, but Kelly, how do you know I want to go through the desert?"
"If other people said they wanted to see the Sahara, I would think they were there to see the desert, but if it were you, I think you probably wanted to go through it. ”
Ye Kai shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly:
"Looks like you already know me well, Kelly, why are you so serious, it's not dangerous to cross the Sahara Desert now, you can drive the whole way, what are you worried about?"
"I'm not worried about the Sahara, but the surrounding countries are not very peaceful, and a Chinese person will be very dangerous in the past. ”
"I won't put myself in danger, don't worry. ”
Ye Kai cherished his life, if he had to pass through a dangerous place, he would definitely find a large army to go with him, his dream was to go down in history, and he could still be mentioned after thousands of years like Du Fu and Li Bai.
This dream has not yet been realized, and it is too aggrieved to die now.
Kelly took a bite of the beef in the hot pot, stood up and found a phone book with many phone numbers recorded, pointed to one and said:
"You can write down this number, and if you want to contact a private security guard in West Africa, this person is a former colleague of our Icelandic Tourism Board who is now a guide in North Africa. ”
What a surprise!
Ye Kai hurriedly went to record the phone, although it may not be used, but in case he wants to contact the bodyguard, it is more reliable to be introduced by this kind of acquaintance.
