Chapter 26: A Defeat of Doubts

"Don't worry, boy, there will always be a pod of dolphins. It's a big deal, wait for lunch, and I'll take you to the open sea. The yacht owner said with an optimistic smile. He caught a lot of fish today. The small fish are released directly to feed the dolphins and thrown to the seabirds that follow the yacht. The big fish is put into a bucket and used as an ingredient for lunch.

It was time for dinner soon, and the captain ran to the kitchen with a bucket to prepare lunch for his son and Shen Bai. Drifting at sea, lunch can't be too luxurious. Just plain pasta, and freshly caught seafood to make sashimi. The food is simple and fresh.

"Uncle, let's eat!" Xiao Zhengtai, his stomach was already growling with hunger. He clapped his little hands happily and called Shen Bai to come to the cabin for dinner. The carefree appearance is really enviable.

The optimism and cheerfulness of the Australian father and son, casual and comfortable, made Shen Bai feel that the two countries, completely different styles of doing things, and attitudes towards life.

If you want to make an analogy, Chinese people are like industrious ants, who start prenatal education before they are born, and they start to enter preschool tutoring before they enter primary school. When I went to junior high school and high school, there were various exams and all kinds of homework in the early morning. There are even monthly exams every month, and extra tuition is left after school.

This kind of growth experience makes every child accustomed to pressure, accustomed to not finding a goal to work hard, just like a salted fish, doing nothing, and being looked down upon.

On the other hand, Australian children are still a good childhood at this time. There is no need to learn addition and subtraction too early, and there is no big homework to suppress crying children. Some are just wonderful memories of going to sea with my father. There is the innocence that a child should have......

"Oh, okay, thank you!" Shen Bai was also unsure which way of growing up was more suitable for children. The national conditions are different, and they cannot be generalized. Sometimes it is not a bad thing for a child to accept the beating of society in advance. After all, when he graduated from school, he had to go through all kinds of job searches, all kinds of overtime without overtime pay, and all kinds of situations of being cheated by the company.

After eating seafood pasta, the captain drove the yacht towards the sea off Dolphin Bay. If you want to talk about the weather at sea, it is really a change in ten minutes. Originally, the sky was still clear, but before I knew it, a large dark cloud drifted in the distance. It looks like it's going to rain.

The wind and waves also became a little stronger, and when the captain saw this, he motioned to Shen Bai to hurry back to the cabin, it would be dangerous to stay in the bow of the ship, "Hey, sir, the wind and waves are getting stronger, I think we have to go back." ”

Shen Bai also knew that there was a danger in continuing to sail, so he gave a close-up of the heavy clouds floating in the distance. The dark clouds in the sky, as if a big hand covering the sky, were really a little heavy enough to oppress people's visual nerves.

The owner of the yacht hurriedly turned the bow of the boat, and before the dark clouds engulfed the entire sky, the waves were not high enough to hit the deck. took Shen Bai and his son back to the Dolphin Bay Pier.

Due to the afternoon sailing, it was not completed. The owner of the yacht promised Shen Bai that if the weather improved tomorrow, he could continue. Count him half a day free.

Shen Bai thought about it for a while, and felt that if he stayed in one place for two or three days in a row, he would fall into the dilemma of doing tasks like Iceland at that time. Anyway, there is a chance to see a school of dolphins everywhere in the open sea, so it is better to travel by car and look for an area to go to sea at the same time. Buddhism is a little bit, and if you can take pictures of a pod of dolphins, even if you don't, you can still appreciate the local customs.

"No, I'll go somewhere else, and I'll talk about it then. Bye-bye!" Shen Bai separated from the yacht owner and waved his hand to Xiao Zhengtai. He then drove the car back to the Sinick Shangri-La Hotel before it was raining.

The seascape and scenery beside the highway are changing from sunny to cloudy. Ahead, the wind is mild and the sun is shining. The dark clouds behind it are overcast, and it is very large. If you add lightning and thunder, it's really like a horror movie, a scene at the beginning of a disaster movie.

Two hours later, the sky began to rain and wet everything around it. Shen Bai slowed down his driving speed and took an extra half an hour before returning to the Shangri-La Hotel.

Waiting until tomorrow to check out, he was ready to go to St. Mary's Cathedral for a visit. Go to Sinick University and get a feel for the local campus culture. Check out the Three Sisters in Blue Mountain Park, see the beautiful coral reefs at Green Island, and step on the white-sand sandy beaches, which are famous for their finesse.

In addition, Warner Cinematic World is also a must-go. There's Superman, all kinds of props from the Batman movies, like Batcar, Superman's tights, the kind you wear over your underwear.

After this round of visits, it took him almost a day and a half. For the remaining half of the day, he went to Paradise Farm, an Australian-style farm with a unique style.

You can see koalas, kangaroos, and interact with them up close. There are also sheepdog driving demonstrations, milking experiences, on-site sheep shearing and more. Let Shen Bai get close to nature and Australian animals.

The docile little koala is very cute and gray all over. When Shen Bai took it from the arms of the staff. The little koala will be very obedient and automatically lie on his shoulder. Let humans caress you.

There are a lot of domestic tourists on the farm, and at least half of the 10 people are Asian-looking. This made Shen Bai feel quite kind. So I bought a pair of koala dolls, kangaroo dolls, and gave them to the mother and daughter from the same city. The little girl wanted to buy it, but her mother wouldn't let her.

"Quick, thank you, uncle!" the mother asked her daughter to thank Shen Bai.

"Thank you, uncle...", the little girl said timidly and softly, looking at her beloved koala doll, kangaroo doll.

"Uncle... Am I that old?" Shen Bai asked. It's clear that I'm only in my early 20s, so I should call my brother, right...... But don't worry about it, anyway, the little girl is happy. He doesn't spend money on dolls and has cashback.

Almost all the attractions around Si Nick, after playing all the time. Shen Bai returned the car to the car rental company and bought a ticket to Melbourne. Take in the beautiful scenery over there.

Although the city of Melbourne is large, the core area of the city centre is very small. Almost all of it can be done on foot. If you feel tired, you can also use the free train. It's a bit similar to the kind of braided hair in the Shangyuan Concession period.

Flinders Street Station, Melbourne's iconic building, has the colours of the Victorian period. The beige appearance is ancient and elegant, with a sense of age.

Next door, St. Paul's Cathedral and Federation Square, three buildings at the same intersection. Let Shen Bai visit it easily and take photos.
