Chapter 25: The End of the World
Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, is also jokingly called the end of the world.
In addition, its unique geographical location makes it the gateway to Antarctica. However, if you are not a person who specializes in checking information, you will not find out.
Ushuaia is a port city that is only 800 kilometers away from the Antarctic Peninsula, so the port terminal also attracts scientific expeditions from various countries to Antarctica. And I don't know if it's the geographical location or the situation, it's the same as the TromsΓΈ they went to in Lin Xi before.
The small town of Ushuaia, with its streetscapes and some natural landscapes, are all cute cabins that belong to Snow White that only appear in fairy tales. Then, with the mountains and rivers, the lush slopes and the majestic white snow-capped mountains complement each other, forming a beautiful landscape painting.
And when the time came, two days after Lin Xi and Kim Taeyeon set off, they finally came to the city at noon on the 23rd.
It is said that it is two days, but in fact, it does not count the last half hour of that night, that is, a day and a half. But at this moment, the whole person was bored in a small place and couldn't walk back and forth, and Lin Xi also had an indescribable grievance. To be honest, if it weren't for Kim Taeyeon's reason, such a trip would have been made to one city or continent at most. It's really tiring that I won't fly all over the world.
As soon as he got off the plane, the down-to-earth Lin Xi did not continue to walk forward, but stretched his muscles and bones that had been curled up into a ball very comfortably, and then shouted very enjoyably, "Cool." β
Next to him, after a day and a half of rest and thinking, Kim Tae-yeon's face and spirit are much better than when he just left Seoul. The most obvious thing is that I can finally smile again.
For example, after seeing Lin Xi's behavior at this time, he also gently patted him on the shoulder next to him, "It's okay, what are you doing." β
"It's okay, hehe, let's go. β
Feeling the down-to-earth sense of being down-to-earth, Lin Xi was also very happy, and turned his head with a smile.
Later, after finding their luggage, the two took a taxi to the Arakur Ushuaia Hotel in Ushuaia. The reason why I found this hotel is because when I checked the Internet, I found that the location of this hotel is located in the Cerro AlarkΓ©n Natural Reserve. While you can enjoy the incomparably beautiful scenery, it is also on the high mountain, you can see the whole city and the sea and the mountain view, so after looking at two photos on the Internet, I didn't hesitate to choose this hotel directly.
In fact, at the beginning, according to what Kim Taeyeon discussed with him on the plane. They don't even need to go to the hotel, seize the time, book two planes to land on the afternoon cruise, and then find a place to sit for a while, or wait at the airport for a while, you can board the ship directly and start this trip to Antarctica.
However, Lin Xi doesn't like such an impatient journey, so he plans to stop a little in the city of Ushuaia, rest for a day, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the city, and then go on the cruise to the South Pole.
In the face of Lin Xi's decision, Kim Taeyeon did not refute it. The reason why she had the idea just now was that she was worried that she would miss a lot of beautiful scenery because of the delay of two days on her journey with Lin Xi. But then I figured it out, instead of rushing past some scenery, it was better to take a moment to stop and enjoy it.
In this way, at least you can have a separate impression of the scenery, not just a memory of the moment.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After checking into the hotel, Lin Xi immediately rushed into the bathroom to take a shower to soothe his sore muscles and body.
Half an hour later, he and Kim Taeyeon met in the hotel lobby and prepared to go out to find something to eat.
However, when the two were walking aimlessly on the road, Kim Taeyeon suddenly asked, "By the way, Lin Xi, have you ever seen a movie?"
"What's the name, you'll have to say it. These words made Lin Xi laugh and asked rhetorically.
turned out to be the name of the movie, but it made Kim Taeyeon silent all the way until the two found the restaurant and sat down in their seats, and then they said, ""Springtime". β
It was also after she said the name of the movie that Lin Xi, who had just taken a sip of warm water, also shrank her pupils slightly, as if she remembered something, and then nodded, "Well, I've seen it." When he was in college, if anyone hadn't seen such a literary movie, he would definitely not be able to get into the topic of the big guy and wait to be isolated. β
For Lin Xi's explanation, Kim Taeyeon finally showed a faint smile. Then he didn't continue to ask, but opened the menu on the table and discussed with Lin Xi what to eat this time.
It was left to the guy on the other side with a messy mind, because in the movie that Kim Taeyeon talked about, there was a line that is extremely wonderful and unforgettable to this day.
As soon as he thought of that line, Lin Xi's thoughts were a mess again. Then after ordering a meal casually, he paused in his position, and after a long pause, he finally spoke, "By the way, when you talk about this movie now, are you going to see a few scenes about Ushuaia in this movie?"
Kim Taeyeon tilted her head and looked out the window of the restaurant, "Well, when I was watching this movie. When I saw that Zhang Wan had saved enough money to come to the lighthouse at the end of the world and put the tape recorder that recorded all of Li Yaohui's thoughts there, I really wanted to step into the screen and listen to what the tape recorder was talking about. β
Lin Xi thought for a while and smiled, "Do you think there was a tape in that tape recorder when filming the movie?" β
"I know there's no reality, but it's not a movie. Kim Tae-yeon pursed her lips and glared at Lin Xi with some anger.
Seeing such a villain, Lin Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although after the two-day flight trip, he had found that Kim Taeyeon's spirit and mentality had been withdrawn a lot from that incident, but before he really saw such an expression, he was still a little worried. Until now, I finally dared to be sure.
"Then you came here this time, do you want to see the penguins, or do you want to see the lighthouse? Lin Xi smiled again and continued to ask.
"There's no difference, can't we all watch it together?" Kim Taeyeon replied directly without thinking about it at all.
Nodding, Lin Xi replied, "That's fine, then let's talk about how to play this time." β
"Didn't you say yes on the plane? Regarding Lin Xi's question, Kim Taeyeon couldn't figure it out at this moment.
"If you get on board, it's at least 10 days or more. Do you think you have enough time? It's been half a month off, and your concert has been postponed, so you can't release pigeons anymore. After thanking the waiter for serving the food, Lin Xi drank the soup and counted the next few things.
After listening to the words, Kim Taeyeon also fell silent. In fact, she also knows about this situation, but she is simply choosing not to think about this problem, "Then what do you say?" β
"I just asked at the front desk of the hotel again, and I feel that there is only one way to do this in our situation. But it's just a little bit insecure, and I don't dare. Lin Xi thought about what he had just asked when he was waiting for Kim Taeyeon in the lobby, and then said.
"What's so unsafe?" Kim Taeyeon looked at Lin Xi in confusion.
Rubbing his fingers, Lin Xi was also a little entangled at this time, "Because if it's not on a cruise ship, it's a small boat." Small boats vs cruise ships, which one you say is safe. β
Kim Tae-yeon, who already had some difficulty in choosing, also stopped talking, looked at Lin Xi, waiting for his decision.
Looking at the bright eyes in front of him, Lin Xi gave the benefits of two ways with some amusement, "Look, if we choose a cruise ship." It will be more comfortable, more stable and safer in the windy and rough seas, and it will be able to cross the Drake Strait faster. But it's a little bit less good, and that's the time to go ashore, which may be very little. For smaller boats, you can spend a lot more time ashore and sail closer to the nearby islands, as well as sail some of the famous fjords and enjoy the magnificent polar nature from the boat even closer. The most important thing is that the sailing route and activity schedule can be arranged more flexibly according to the weather, ice floes and other conditions, and there will be no fixed itinerary like a cruise ship. β
"Then there is still a question, of course, choose the latter one. As soon as Kim Taeyeon heard it, he immediately gave the answer.
"But it's not as safe as a cruise ship. "After experiencing the events of the first two days, Lin Xi has really been paying attention to the requirement of safety at this time.
But in the end, he still couldn't resist the villain Kim Taeyeon, so he had to make an agreement. That is, if Lin Xi really feels that the weather is bad that day, or other problems, Kim Taeyeon needs to obey his arrangement unconditionally. You can't say you want to go, and then you have to go.
However, Kim Taeyeon is not the kind of person who can do whatever he wants, so he naturally signed this agreement with Lin Xi very happily.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Head south to a place in Ushuaia.
I heard that it was the end of the world, and I heard that there was a lighthouse there.
Go there and leave the happy and unhappy things behind.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The next day, after resting very steadily for most of the day and adding a whole night, Lin Xi and Kim Taeyeon, although they can't say that they have finished replenishing their strength, their spirit is not bad.
And the aspect of the ship and the journey also changed a little bit last night. For example, Lin Xi thought about it for a long time in the afternoon, and finally found a travel company here through a relationship. Straight to a luxury medium-sized yacht, with a captain and a few crew members and guides.
So this morning's voyage is also very simple, Lin Xi had already discussed it with them when he made an appointment last night. That is to get on a yacht and plan to go to the distant bird island and sea lion island to see. However, after all, it is still inevitable to see the famous lighthouse in the movie.
That place was Kim Taeyeon who said he must go first, and then Lin Xi didn't refute it.
Anyway, at this time, having money is really everything and an enviable thing. For example, when everyone else is 10 people squeezed into a small boat to go to sea, or can only follow the cruise itinerary to visit Antarctica. He was able to board a very luxurious medium-sized yacht on the dock and go wherever he wanted, regardless of what others thought and looked at.
Finally boarded the ship at the port of Ushuaia, and after getting to know the captain and others, Lin Xi and Kim Taeyeon also walked directly into the yacht. And the captain and crew also returned to their respective positions very professionally and did not follow up to disturb them.
Sitting on the sofa of the yacht, Kim Taeyeon looked at Lin Xi in front of her, and she was never disappointed in his arrangement. This time, of course, there was no exception, and it was even more pleasantly surprised.
It's just that I still asked, "It cost a lot of money." β
Lin Xi, who was getting a drink for the two of himself in the water bar, raised his head and smiled, "It's okay, it's not bankrupt." β
Looking at the poor figure in front of her, Kim Tae-yeon's spirit was also inexplicably in a trance, and then asked, "By the way, do you remember what Zhang Wan said in the lighthouse in "Springtime"?"
"Clam lines?" was so far away from memory, and when he was suddenly asked by Kim Taeyeon, Lin Xi was also a little flustered.
"Don't remember?" Kim Taeyeon nodded and smiled.
Looking at the villain in front of him, Lin Xi was not afraid of losing face, "I really don't remember, I didn't watch the movies I watched in college a few times." β
"I remember, because I think this is the sentence that best suits our situation right now. Kim Taeyeon, who was originally sitting, also stood up at this time. Then he ignored Lin Xi, who had already come out with a drink, and walked out of the living room and came to the deck of the yacht.
By this time, the yacht had already set off and was already sailing in the Beagle Strait. The weather today is also exceptionally good, with the Andean peaks on both sides of the strait clearly visible.
The sky is blue, the sun is big, and the temperature is low. The water is clear and cold, and Ushuaia is particularly beautiful in the blue sky and blue sea behind her, and the green mountains and snow reflect it. Such a magnificent scenery also made Kim Taeyeon gradually get out of the depressed and sad mood in the previous period.
Standing under the blue sky and white clouds, with Mount Anse as the background, and the perennial snow-covered mountains on both sides of the strait, Kim Taeyeon let the sea breeze blow her hair, turned around, leaned on the fence of the deck, looked at Lin Xi, who had also walked out, and spoke.
"The saying goes like this: I heard that there is a lighthouse there, and people who have broken love like to go there and talk about unhappy things. After speaking, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth and looked at Lin Xi, "You say, will anyone really do this in reality?"
"I don't know, probably. β
