Chapter 360: Reykjavik
Driving a new car, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei went to a driving school.
Although Liu Danqing has more than ten years of car age, he can be regarded as an old driver, but that was in the previous life, and in this life, he still has to take a new driver's license.
After paying the fee and assigning the coach, Liu Danqing got on the bus and compared, and the coaches were all satisfied.
Whether it is reversing into the warehouse, parking on the side, or crossing the unilateral bridge around the cake, it is all in one step, extremely proficient, and the sequence of actions is not bad.
"Your skills are better than mine, wait for the notice to come to the test." ”
After the coach said this, he sent Liu Danqing out of the driving school.
In the next few days, the waves were calm, and the company didn't have to do it twice, and the two didn't want to go to the class.
Not only them, but even a few roommates of the two did not go, and the school also gave the green light to student entrepreneurship projects, after all, in this era when the employment rate of college students in prestigious schools cannot reach 100%, it is still necessary to support it.
In the past few days, in addition to flipping stocks, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei are practicing the carnivorous method, Yang's Tai Chi Five Hammers, and studying the next place to survive.
Leopard meat, bear meat and wolf meat are not eaten for free, and practicing the carnivorous method during this time, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei feel that their physical fitness has improved a lot.
In terms of fighting skills, Liu Danqing has pushed the hammer into the dark energy level, and even his comprehension of the entire Yang's Taiji Five Hammers has become much more profound.
Under his guidance, Xiao Weiwei's Yang's Tai Chi Five Hammers are also improving by leaps and bounds, just waiting for when there will be a chance to conduct actual combat.
The next type of survival site has already been determined in the last livestream, which is the extremely cold area where food is severely scarce. This is to satisfy the desire of the audience to let the two eat earthworms.
The two chose between Siberia, Severdamlya, the northern islands of Canada, and Iceland in Russia, and finally settled on Iceland.
Vatnajökull in Iceland, to be exact.
Vatnajökull covers an area of 8,300 square kilometers near the town of Hofen in southeastern Iceland, and is not only the largest glacier in Iceland, but also the largest glacier in Europe, and the third largest glacier in the world, after Antarctic and Greenland glaciers.
Vatnajökull is about 1,500 meters above sea level. Vatnajökull is a quintessential part of Iceland due to its non-static nature. Vatnajökull flows into the warmer valley at a rate of 800 meters per year. Curiously, there are also lava rocks, volcanic craters and hot lakes in the Vatnajökull area. This is why Iceland is known as the "Land of Fire and Ice".
It was this "land of ice and fire" that made the two of them determined.
Doing live broadcasts still requires a certain amount of gimmicks, in contrast, the two heavens of ice and fire are naturally much more enjoyable than simple cold.
Another point is for Xiao Weiwei's dream.
Xiao Weiwei's dream was to be a beauty streamer, and the scenery in Iceland is much more beautiful than several other places.
For example, the "Mann" ice planet in the movie "Interstellar" was filmed in the Skaftafell area in the Vatna Glacier, where there are many ice tongues that look like a fantasy world.
After making a plan, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei contacted Yang Shuo and put their information about survival in the wilderness in the live broadcast room.
"Wilderness Survival Couple - Land of Ice and Fire.
Danqing and Weiwei will be dropped into the heart of Vatnajökull in Iceland, where they must navigate the land of ice and fire in an effort to return to human society. ”
After packing up, the two got on the plane again and flew to Iceland, one of the five Nordic countries.
Located on the edge of the Arctic Circle, at the confluence of the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, Iceland has a land area of 103,000 square kilometers and a population of about 320,000, making it the least densely populated country in Europe. The capital is Reykjavík, which is also the largest city in Iceland, and the southwest region near the capital is home to two-thirds of the country's population.
Vatnajökull is located in the southeast of Iceland, which was originally a no-man's land, but over the years, with the influx of tourists from all over the world, some tourism projects have been developed.
For example, Bing Pure Hike, Speedboat into the Ice Cave, etc., but these projects are also on the periphery of Vatna Glacier, which is still pure no man's land.
It took more than a day and a connecting flight for Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei to land in Reykjavík, the northernmost capital in the world.
When she arrived in Reykjavik, Xiao Weiwei took her mobile phone and opened the live broadcast room for the first time.
"Look, this is the legendary smoke-free city of Reykjavík, and when you get here, the only feeling is that it's clean, the sky is clean, the streets are clean, the houses are clean, it's so clean!"
"The buildings here are generally not high, but they are very dense, and it looks like a small town in Huaguo, but there are very few people here, and it is very laid-back. ”
"It's wonderful to have a smoke-free city!"
Liu Danqing saw that Xiao Weiwei was intoxicated by the purity of Reykjavik, and deliberately interrupted her: "Weiwei, do you know what Reykjavik means?"
"What do you mean?"
Liu Danqing smiled mysteriously and said, "The smoky strait." ”
"Huh?" Xiao Weiwei was surprised: "How is it possible, Iceland is so clean, and I learned in high school geography class that they all use geothermal resources and don't need to burn fires." ”
Liu Danqing happened to open the Qingye lecture hall again at this time.
"In the 9th century, when the Scandinavians approached Iceland by boat, they stood on the bow of the ship and looked out over the island, saw wisps of smoke rising from the shore of the bay in the distance, and thought that there must be people living in front of them, so they named the place "Reykjavík". It means "a smoking bay". ”
"In fact, there is no farmhouse smoke here at all. The smoke they saw was due to the many hot springs and geysers scattered around the island, which constantly spewed out jets of water that made people mistakenly think it was smoke. ”
Xiao Weiwei nodded after hearing this, and said, "Well, it's pretty much the same, everything is a misunderstanding, Qingqing, said Hot Spring, why don't we go take a dip tonight." ”
"That's a must," Liu Danqing replied: "If you don't soak in the hot springs in Iceland, it means that you haven't come to Iceland, but don't wait until the evening, now we will go to the beach of Bull Mountain to take a bath." ”
Sea bathing?
Not only Xiao Weiwei, but the audience on the other end of the live broadcast room looked at the snow on the roof, and couldn't help but ask a question, just go to the sea to bathe on this day, is the young man going to play winter swimming?
Bull Mountain Beach is next to the runway of Reykjavik Airport, Liu Danqing didn't explain much, turned a corner outside the airport, and it didn't take long to walk to Bull Mountain Beach.
"Wow! This is incredible, it's a miracle!"
Xiao Weiwei let out a cheer when she saw Bull Hill Beach.
I saw that on the edge of the turquoise sea, there is a large beach covered with snow, and on the beach, there are many large or small hot spring pools, the hot spring pools are filled with white mist, under the background of the white and blue sea, it is like a fairyland on earth, and there are many shadows inside, and you can see a lot of people.
The hot spring water flows into the sea through the hot spring pools, creating several warm water areas along the seashore where some foreigners in swimsuits swim and frolic there.
"Bull Mountain Beach is one of the most popular resorts in Reykjavík, and it is one of the few beaches in Iceland where the sea temperature is moderate and you don't need to wear special warm clothes to swim in the sea. Cold water in the sea is mixed with warm water, and the temperature is usually between 18-20°C. Visitors can enjoy sunbathing, swimming, beach volleyball and sea sports. ”
"It's also one of the world's top eight winter swimming destinations, and as soon as you swim out of the warm water area, the water temperature drops dramatically, and the sea temperature in the cold water area here is only 11 degrees Celsius a year. ”
"Iceland is cold, but the southwest of Reykjavík, where Reykjavík is located, has a relatively pleasant climate due to the warm Atlantic current, with a minimum temperature of -3 degrees Celsius and a snowfall just a few days ago, which makes this beach particularly beautiful. ”
"Okay, Weiwei, let's change into swimsuits and go into the water, in order to soak in the hot springs, we have specially brought a set of swimsuits, comrades, I'll go." ”
Xiao Weiwei also turned the mobile phone camera, waved her hand mischievously, and said, "Everyone envy for a while, I'm going to the locker room over there to change into swimsuits and get into the water, bye-bye." ”
"Master Qing, Weiwei, I despise you, don't turn off the live broadcast!"
"Don't turn off the live broadcast! It's better to be happy alone than to be happy, oops. ”
"I'm going to Iceland, I'm going to Iceland, I'm going to Iceland, important things say three times. ”
……
In the envy and jealousy of the audience, Xiao Weiwei closed the live broadcast room, changed into a swimsuit, and walked into a warm sea area with Liu Danqing.
Looking at the vast expanse of snow, but swimming in the warm water, the contrast brought by the enjoyment brought by this contrast was incomparable, so much so that the two played until it was dark, then left the sea and turned their heads into a hot spring pool.
Soaking in the hot springs, looking at the stars through the pure sky without a trace of pollution, Xiao Weiwei sighed: "The three-dimensional starry sky is really beautiful, I feel that the stars are so close to us, it is so beautiful......"
After soaking in the hot springs, the two foodies came to The Grillmarket restaurant on Austurströti Street in the center of Reykjavík, which is called barbecue paradise in Chinese, according to the strong recommendation of the carnivorous party among the predecessors of Chinese foodies.
Walking into an iron door, Xiao Weiwei couldn't help but take out her mobile phone to open the live broadcast room.
The décor of this shop is so distinctive, focusing on natural elements such as lava, fish scales, basalt, and logs, which are both original and exquisite.
At the same time, they also saw that the restaurant uses flat stone plates or stone chips to serve food, which complements the natural theme.
It's past nine o'clock in the evening, and the restaurant still has more than half of the occupancy, which is extremely rare in a small city of only 100,000 people, which shows the popularity here.
The two found a seat and ordered grilled lamb chops, grilled salmon, grilled whale meat, and two of the store's specialties: burger combos.
The burger assortment consists of three small burgers, including the minke whale meat burger, the reindeer meat burger, and the lobster meat burger, all of which are delicacies that you can't eat anywhere else.
This poison was released, which made a group of viewers scream.
