Chapter 738: Windfall at Sea (3/3)
Looking down from the high cruise ship, although you can also see some views of the coral reef, after all, there are still some difficulties, and the waves that break when the boat sails obstruct a large part of the view.
However, when I arrived at Green Island, I got off the boat and walked on the long L-shaped breakwater (Note 1), and my view suddenly became wider.
"Baba, are you pulling me?" Although Xixi was holding her father's hand, she stepped on the breakwater that seemed to be floating on the sea, listening to the sea water washing the piles and pillars of the breakwater below, the little girl was very insecure, and said weakly, "Don't let go." ”
Yang Yi was pulling Murphy up the embankment, and when he heard Xixi say this, he turned his head and saw the little girl's nervous appearance, so he hugged her.
In her father's arms, Xixi's sense of security skyrocketed, and she could finally take a look at this beautiful sea!
"Baba, where are the big fish?" Xixi asked, turning her head in confusion.
"The big fish will take the big boat again in the afternoon to watch, and we will play near this island in the morning. Yang Yi smiled, "Do you want to see small fish, not as big as whales, but also very beautiful, and you can also see corals!"
"Okay!" Xixi regained her vitality and hugged her father's neck and grinned.
To see the reef, obviously you don't get the best experience on the breakwater. In Yang Yi's customized travel itinerary, there is a glass-bottom boat project, on the breakwater, they changed to a bus-sized glass-bottom boat.
As the name suggests, the bottom of the ship has been replaced with transparent glass with some steel plates, and it is a bit like a submarine, with a deep bottom into the water.
Visitors sit on small benches in the narrow aisle in the middle, which is certainly uncomfortable and a little crowded in front and back, but it doesn't matter, the point is that they can look out of the glass windows on the left and right, as if they are also under the sea.
Xixi was by her father's side, and as soon as the little girl came in, she was attracted by this magical "underwater world", she didn't bother to sit down, picked up the glass, and looked at it in amazement.
So that's how the bottom of the sea is!
Stone after stone, and then a lot of small fish!
The scenery here is not the most beautiful, and when the glass-bottom boat sails a little further away from the green island, and finally stops on a coral reef, a beautiful picture scroll spreads out in front of Xixi!
"Wow!" Xixi looked out of the glass, her eyes widened, and her cries of surprise were endless.
The bush-like coral is not the most special, it is at most like a rockery in an aquarium, and what dazzles Xixi is the colorful little fish!
There are yellowish ones, some red yellowish ones, some white mixed with red, some black and white like zebras, and the best ones are those small fish with multiple colors on their bodies, but not messy!
None of them were very large, palm-sized, or finger-sized, swimming happily through the crevices of the reef, seemingly unconcerned about the behemoths that passed by...... Of course, perhaps they are also used to being watched.
"It's so beautiful! Baba, it's even more beautiful than Xin'er's goldfish!" Although Xixi was actively telling her father about her discovery, she didn't actually turn her head, and her eyes were firmly stuck to these beautiful little fish!
Murphy was also fascinated by it, but she didn't patronize herself to play, and still held the four-month-old Xiao Yu so that he could also get close to see the little fish.
The little one's round eyes followed the fish swimming in front of him, and after a while, the little head was attracted by another little fish, and after looking at it for a long time, he turned his head in confusion and looked at his mother, as if he was going to tell her what he had found.
"Isn't it pretty?" said Murphy, smiling and rubbing his little head affectionately.
Yang Yi listened to the movement, so he turned around with the camera and photographed Murphy's mother and son, just right, the little guy was amused by his mother and grinned, giggling, that pair of small dimples are very cute under the camera!
"Baba, I'm going to shoot too, shoot little goldfish!" Xi Xi remembered what she had done at about this time last year, turned her head with interest, and asked her father for a camera.
The little reporter was officially launched, she held a single-lens reflex camera, although not so flexible, but she also used the small screen smartly to shoot a lot of goldfish and coral reefs.
Seeing Xixi having fun, Murphy and Yang Yi also looked at each other and smiled, twisting and sitting together against their shoulders.
……
If you want to see whales, you have to go to the deep sea, Yang Yi they played on Green Island until more than eleven o'clock, then went back to the cruise ship to eat a buffet, after lunch, their luxury cruise ship set off again, sailing to a more vast ocean.
It's not a good time to spot whales, though.
In Australia, the migration season is from May to November every year, and it is easier to see whales and even giant humpback whales in July and September.
Yang Yi They are here now, the time is really not coincidental, maybe a little hope to see minke whales, but today the luck is not on Yang Yi's side, the cruise ship has been driving for more than two hours, and there are no traces of whales on the sea except for seabirds passing by.
"I'm sorry, friends, but I'll have to go back!" said the bearded captain, who came over, shook his head, and spread his hands in the midst of the regret of the crowd.
"Baba, what did he say?" Xixi listened in a daze, in fact, she could understand most of it, but she hadn't been able to comprehend the other party's deeper meaning.
"The captain came to tell us that we hadn't been able to meet the whales, but now we were going back and couldn't wait for dark. Yang Yi said to Xixi.
"Baba, why can't we meet whales?" Xixi's delicate little face showed a disappointed expression, which made people feel very distressed, but this time she didn't make trouble, but did it in her father's arms, and asked in a low voice.
"Maybe it's because the whale thinks that it still wants to leave a little mystery in front of you, and wait until there is a chance in the future to meet you, right?" Yang Yi said with a smile.
"Really?" Xixi was a little surprised.
"Really, the whale is very smart, it's not like a fish, it's a mammal like a human......"
"What's the mammal?"
Go back to the boring voyage and spend it quickly in Dad's humorous popular science.
However, when Yang Yi also thought that their trip to Australia would end so blandly, the tourists on the deck suddenly cheered.
What happened?
An enthusiastic black boy ran to the cabin and shouted, "Hey, guys, come and see, there are dolphins, lots of dolphins!"
Yang Yi hurriedly picked up Xixi, supported Murphy, who had been sitting for a long time and had weak feet, and walked to the deck together, to the side of the boat where everyone gathered.
I saw a group of black shadows sparkling in the sparkling ocean in the sun.
"Baba, where is Dolphin?" Xixi hadn't seen it yet, the little girl was holding her father's neck, looking around anxiously.
"Look, there, there's dolphins!"
Before Yang Yi's words fell, he seemed to sense the arrival of Lord Xixi, and the group of dolphins in the distance suddenly began to jump out of the sea one after another, draw a beautiful arc, and then plunge into the sea.
"Wow!" Xixi saw it this time, the little girl opened her big eyes, hugged her father's neck excitedly, and rubbed her body up, as if she wanted to go to a higher place and see more dolphins.
The dolphins are not afraid of human boats, and they deliberately swim close to Yang Yi's cruise ship before jumping out of the water and dancing again.
So close, the dolphins' smooth bodies as if they were greased, their short, silly beaks, and the splashes and glittering splashes of water when they jumped, were clearly visible.
Yang Yi held Xixi with one hand, and was busy taking photos with the camera with the other, he felt that the vigorous figure of the dolphin in the lens was very handsome!
Although Xixi watched greedily and forgot to speak, the little girl also had joy in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and she smiled happily, and she couldn't see the regret just now.
"Xixi, I saw the dolphin, in fact, from a scientific point of view, we can also see a big fish!" Looking at the departing figure of the dolphin, Yang Yi said to Xixi with a smile.
"Hee-hee, because dolphins are also very big!" Xixi was also satisfied when she saw the dolphin, only to see her giggling and saying to her father.
"Not only for this reason, but also because dolphins also belong to the category of whales, and they are actually a little similar to whales...... "Well, this time, the popular science is a bit boring compared to the dolphin dance just now!"
