For these tourists and fans, this kind of welcome ceremony is not a formal award ceremony, but it is also an event that is rarely encountered in a few lifetimes, and they certainly want to party all night long.
For the local residents of South Africa, not to mention this kind of welcome ceremony, even if it is a formal award ceremony, they can see it once a year, so this kind of event is not very attractive to the local residents.
Under the guidance of the staff, Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying drove back to the old town of Cape Town again, and checked into the free hotel designated by the organizing committee, Table Bay Hotel.
Table Bay Hotel is Cape Town's most luxurious five-star hotel, located right next to Table Bay in the northern part of Cape Town's Old Town.
Table Bay, like Table Mountain, is Cape Town's most famous attraction. In fact, Vladivostok, the finish point of the Cape Town Rally, at the foot of Mount Tebul, the square of the National Botanical Gardens, which is Table Mountain.
Tebul, is the Chinese transliteration of the English "table", so Table Mountain is also known as Tebul Mountain.
Similarly, Table Bay is also known as "Tebul Bay" in the Chinese transliteration.
Table Bay and Table Mountain, one north and one south, sandwich the main town of Cape Town in between. In fact, Table Bay was discovered by Portuguese navigators as early as 1500, and in 1510, the famous Portuguese navigator and colonizer Almeida landed here.
In 1652, the great Dutch colonizer Ribek led a group of soldiers to completely occupy the area, and relied on the majestic Table Mountain to establish a colony on the plain between Table Bay and Table Mountain, and the current Cape Town developed from the original small colony made of rock.
By now, only one of the buildings built by the Dutch has been left for war preparation, and the rest has been replaced by modern buildings. The Table Bay, discovered by the Portuguese, became the largest port in South Africa.
Table Bay is very large, divided into three parts, of which the westernmost Victoria Harbour area is the smallest, compared with the other two port areas, Victoria Harbour is only used to moor passenger ships, private cruise ships, is the most delicate port area in Table Bay.
Victoria Harbour is surrounded by two peninsulas that jut deep into the sea, the western peninsula is a natural formation, and the eastern peninsula is an artificial peninsula with the help of a small island in the original Table Bay. Eventually, the small port area, which was about 600 meters long from north to south and 500 meters wide from east to west, surrounded by these two peninsulas, became the famous Victoria Harbour District.
Table Bay Hotel is built on a natural peninsula to the west of Victoria Harbour, with the Pacific Ocean to the west and the tranquil Victoria Harbour to the east.
In front of the front door of the Table Bay Hotel is a huge fan-shaped parking lot, but at this time, all but one area of this huge parking lot is empty, and all other places are full of all kinds of luxury cars.
As the most luxurious five-star hotel in Cape Town, every year in March and April, local tyrants from all over the world will live here, and the cheapest room in this hotel also costs more than 300 Chinese yuan a night, but this is nothing to local tyrants.
Of course, as the façade of Cape Town, this hotel is also the hotel jointly designated by the Rally Organizing Committee and the City Council of Cape Town to stay for drivers. However, there are only the top 30 drivers who are eligible to stay in this luxury hotel for free.
Although the hotel offers 30 rooms for free, including a deluxe sea view room for the top three riders, it seems that the hotel is at a loss. But in fact, the hotel did so to give them a big advantage.
Despite the fact that only the top 30 drivers stay at this hotel for free, the top 30 drivers are undoubtedly the best drivers in the world. These drivers also attract many local luxury car fans to stay at this hotel, so that they can get up close and personal with these amazing drivers.
As a result, thanks to the attraction of these drivers, the Table Bay Hotel is always hard to find during the period of time after the rally every year.
Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying's dinner was served in the restaurant of the Table Bay Hotel. said it was a free dinner, but in fact, Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying didn't order food at all.
As the first driver to reach the finish line of this year's Vladivostok-Cape Town Car Rally, and the main driver is also a famous musician, conductor, rock star, dance superstar, billiards superstar, golf superstar, poet, and the navigator is the most famous county lord of the Dahua royal family.
The origin of this pair is amazing, which is incomparable to all the previous drivers, especially the noble status of His Royal Highness the Dahua Royal County Lord, which is something that 99.99% of people in this world need to look up to.
Therefore, when Fang Zhengying took the Grandmaster's arm and walked into the restaurant to prepare for the meal, he was immediately stopped by a gentleman who was dressed very well.
Many of the guests who wanted to invite the grandmaster and Fang Zhengying to dine together immediately sat down peacefully after seeing this gentleman in his fifties, and it was obvious that most of these prominent guests recognized the identity of this gentleman.
"Your Royal Highness, Lord Yingyun and Your Excellency Mr. Grandmaster, I am Cyber Wilson from London, England. Being stopped by someone, the Grandmaster was very helpless, but Fang Zhengying seemed to know this Cyber Wilson, and gently pulled the Grandmaster.
Of course, Cyber Wilson saw Fang Zhengying's small action, smiled and made a gentlemanly salute to Fang Zhengying, and said, "Thank you very much for the help of Lord Yingyun." ”
Fang Zhengying nodded slightly.
"Your Royal Highness, Mr. Zong, I take the liberty of disturbing you, mainly because my host, His Royal Highness Prince William from the British Crown, wants to invite you two over for dinner, and His Royal Highness Prince William has prepared the best dinner over there for you to come. ”
These words made the grandmaster slightly stunned, of course he knew that in the United Kingdom in this world, there is also a Prince William who is the same as in his previous life, he is the grandson of the current Queen of the United Kingdom, and the second in line to the British royal line. Such an identity is also the top group of people in the world.
It's just that the Grandmaster really didn't expect that this Prince William would sit and wait here and send out an invitation to dinner together.
Seeing that the grandmaster was stunned, Fang Zhengying smiled and said, "Thank you very much for the invitation of His Royal Highness Prince William, my boyfriend and I are honored to have dinner with His Royal Highness Prince William. When Fang Zhengying said this, it meant that he had agreed to the invitation, and the grandmaster would naturally not object, so he followed the Cyber Wilson to the second floor of the restaurant.
