Chapter 768 [Picturesque Payne Island]
On the balcony of the hotel, enjoying a classic Mediterranean seafood feast, Yang Yong took the guards to sit on the breezy balcony. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info tasting Italian wine and enjoying the seafood of the Mediterranean, at this time, old Charlie put down the knife in his hand, wiped his mouth and took a sip of wine, and said to Yang Yong and everyone present with a smile.
"Sir, I have been in contact with the relevant departments of the Greek government and tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the morning a staff member will visit you in person. Then take us to Penn Island for an actual investigation, and if everything goes well, we should get the ownership of the island after a month. ”
Yang Yong nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Old Charlie, I don't worry, now our Yang family doesn't consider how much this island is worth." Instead, consider whether the natural resources of this island are satisfied, if the environment on my island is very good, I can sign a contract immediately, if not, we can only give up, after all, there is no point in buying a stone island. ”
In fact, buying an island and buying a house are generally the same, if you are a person with financial difficulties, the first thing to pay attention to is the price of the house. If it is a rich person, the price of the house can be automatically ignored, and the most important thing is the environment of the house, and whether the style of the house is beautiful enough. The same is true for buying an island, Yang Yong doesn't care about money, he cares about whether the natural environment on the island is superior.
After eating, all the entourage took their leave, and Yang Yong rested well, and he didn't have breakfast when he got up the next morning. The staff of the Greek government was already in place, and after eating breakfast at half past eight, they flew to the beach, hired a small yacht and sailed to Payne Island, ten kilometers away.
To be honest, with the development of the economy in recent years, the ocean has become a hard-hit area of pollution, especially in the Aegean Sea, because it is in the middle of the international waterway, and various sea state accidents occur from time to time. What kind of fuel leakage, plastic waste and domestic garbage discharge wastewater only happens, Yang Yong cares most about the natural environment. If you don't bring your family to live in a place where the pollution is so bad, it's tantamount to chronic suicide.
The sea is clear, the visibility reaches more than a dozen meters, and after driving for five minutes, I haven't seen any garbage floating on the surface of the sea. Yang Yong felt more satisfied with this, and after a few minutes, Payne Island was already in sight, and the place where the boat landed was the south of Payne Island, and the white sand beach was very delicate. There is no human waste on the beach except for a few dead leaves that have washed ashore, and a little cleaning up of this beach is the best place for a family vacation.
The size of the beach is not as far as the eye can see, and when you hear the staff talk about it, you know that Payne Island is surrounded by this white sand. The width of the beach is 60 meters, which means that 60 meters away is the tree line, and after passing through the beach, you will be greeted by some tall native trees, but there are no coconut palms as are common on tropical beaches. Although Penn Island is close to the tropics, it is not possible to produce coconuts due to its latitude, but there are quite a few palm trees.
As soon as you enter the dense tree line, you can feel the temperature drop significantly, the air is fresh and the temperature is cool, and you can walk on the tree-lined path paved with stone slabs. It feels like the trees on both sides have been around for some years, and they have been cleared very cleanly, and there is some grass growing in the middle of the trees, which is now knee-length.
It's okay to have some cattle and sheep in these forest meadows, but if you want to have a good environment, you can raise some sika deer. It is a good choice to eat and view, it is much better than wasting it like this, like an extinct volcano, low on all sides, high in the middle, and the highest place is no more than 800 meters above sea level.
So the more you go to the middle of the island, the steeper the slope becomes, and after turning two corners, you can hear the sound of rushing water. Walking through the trees, it was a clear river, and the river was meandering, and the water was clear, and some small trout could be seen swimming around in the water. These small trout are the most distinctive specialty of Payne Island, small but delicious, not found on other islands or on the mainland, and are also unique to Penn Island.
The most strange thing is that the clear water of the river meanders from top to bottom, and there are many places where shallow small pools have formed. The roots of the trees are exposed through the soil and rocks on both sides of the river, and the fish swim and the frogs chirp in the green grass, and the insects and butterflies fly everywhere, much like the Garden of Eden.
To Yang Yong's surprise, there were many tall fig trees growing on both sides of the river, which were Mediterranean specialties and were the size of an adult's fist. It's very sweet, and all kinds of wildflowers grow in the woods and rivers, which is really beautiful, and it is the most wonderful thing to jump into the small alluvial ponds formed by these small rivers on a hot day.
What is amazing is that the stone road is built on the bank of the river, and you can enjoy the various natural environments created by this clear river as you walk. The most incredible thing is that although the river originates from the central mountain range, it does not go straight up and down, but spirals around the island three times and then flows into the sea, forming three natural barriers.
The stone path is also spiral-shaped, and the higher you go, the fewer wild trees you get, and some artificially planted trees begin to appear. For example, there are olive groves composed of hundreds of olive trees, thanks to the olive trees, which are full of treasures, olives can be eaten, olives can be extracted for oil, and then there are some fruit trees, but these fruit trees are too old and backward in variety.
The fruit that bears is small, astringent, and not tasty, due to the climate, except for those true tropical fruits. Subtropical fruits can be planted on the island at will, and they can be grown well on this island for the use of the entire island.
The more rocks you go up the hill, the more rocks you have, and the more hard granite rocks there are. It is a very good landscape stone, and when you follow the stone path to the central mountain range in the center of the island, you will see a large area of meadow, and after passing through the meadow, you can see a very large cave halfway up the mountain. The cave resembles half a coconut standing up, and inside the natural cave formed by the rock is a small two-story stone castle.
The castle faces the sun and the sea, and there is a cave behind it to cover it, and any violent storm will not cause the castle the slightest harm. The castle is surrounded by some creeper roses and other climbs, which makes the whole castle look very cool in the midst of greenery. However, this stone castle is too small, but there is a small lake excavated by hand in front of the stone castle, although the area is not large, but the lake is full of aquatic life, animals and plants.
Because this small lake is a natural reservoir that can meet the needs of the entire island during the dry season, it is a man-dug reservoir-like lake. Together with the hundreds of rivers on the island, the natural springs form two water systems, ensuring that the fresh water needs of the entire island are completely unproblematic.
