Walking out slowly along the plank road, the sun is very dry, but it can't stop the clouds from falling and stopping to take a few more photos of "the sea and the sky". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Climb up a small hill out of the boardwalk and up the 1849 lighthouse, famous for its almost 90-degree staircase and year-round winds, and you can feel the temperature from the South Pole while enjoying a bird's-eye view from the top of the 30-meter-high tower.

But in order to hurry, Yunluo had to give up. In addition to the fact that the two trips to the "Chapmansroad" were not beautiful, not going to this lighthouse may be the only regret on this trip.

Although Yunluo knew that today was the longest day to drive, Yunluo ignored the closing time of the "Diazmuseum".

In a big city like Cape Town, some attractions may have longer summer opening hours, but in small towns, there are few attractions that are open at different times, and the museum closes at 16:30, and in order to arrive before the closing time, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo did not find a place to have lunch, and only bought something to eat at the "KFS" car store passing by.

Nalan Shiqi asked for a burger, Yunluo asked for an Oreo milkshake, Xiao Zhou only needed 2 cups of strawberry milkshakes, and drove while drinking, and after his hard work, 7 finally arrived at Mosselbay at 16 o'clock ("C" in the road map). In August 1487, the Portuguese navigator Bartholmeudiaz was commissioned by King João II of Portugal.

Set off from Lisbon with two caravels and a transport ship on the expedition for the second time. His mission was to explore the route to India, which bypassed the southernmost point of the African continent. In February 1488, the fleet sailed into a vegetated bay, where the crew saw the indigenous negroes grazing their cattle and sheep, which Diaz named "Shepherd's Bay" - Mosselbay.

Diazmuseum, R20/person. It is divided into two small buildings, the first of which is used to display the local cultural promotion. Step out the back door and you'll find another yellow stone brick house by the bay that is the real "Diazmuseum".

Inside, there is a model of a ship from that time, surrounded by the costumes, daily necessities, route maps and the like of Portuguese sailors, most of which are imitations.

The main purpose of coming here is the legendary "postoffice tree". Since 1488, many Portuguese seafarers have visited Mosselbay. In May 1501, when a fleet was about to leave, the captain put some information in a boot and hung it on a milk tree.

Two months later, on July 7, 1501, voyagers from another fleet discovered the boot, and from there, it became the origin of the "post". The story is as simple as that, not the "family letter worth 10,000 dollars" passed down from generation to generation in many guides. Now the so-called "postal tree" is only because it is 500 years old.

Later generations deduced that it might have been the tree back then; There is no way to find the boots, so you can only build a "stone boots mailbox" under the tree. For tourists to post postcards. Yunluo forgot all the postcards he had prepared in Cape Town in the car, so he had to buy another postcard at the museum, which fortunately had stamps here.

Sent one to myself. Later, I found out that each scenic spot sells postcards that only belong to its own local characteristics, and you won't see the same, so Yunluo is happy to buy a few copies every time she goes to a place.

Nalan Shiqi and Xiao Zhou didn't come in, so they could only ask a foreigner to help Yunluo take a photo of the delivery postcard, who knew that it had just been taken. I saw the two of them walking from the big iron gate with a Chinese tour group, which turned out to be past the museum's opening hours. You can come in and see the scenery outside.

In fact, the inside of the museum is really not much to see, the scenery outside is very good, and the bay below is very beautiful, but because they have to rush to Oudtshoo before dark, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo don't have much time to wander here.

Although time was tight, lunch had almost been abandoned. Dinner can't be sloppy anymore. Xiao Zhou once again exerted his instinct to find cheap and good restaurants. Foreigners eat late, and the method of "entering wherever there are more locals" that is usually used outside basically does not work here.

After going around the circle, I chose a roadside restaurant that was not too conspicuous, and it looked a bit like a bar. The outdoor seat faces the road, and after sitting there for a while, I feel a little cold, and when I change to the inside, I find that this restaurant is divided into a large restaurant, a small restaurant, I don't understand why not open it, but the style of the two restaurants is slightly different.

Although they are all nautical themes, the large restaurant is more inclined to bar, and the small restaurant is more suitable for tea and dinner. Xiao Zhou asked for a fish meal, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi asked for a T-bone chicken wing, this set meal has two options of rice or chips, the chicken wings gave Xiao Zhou one, the rice summed up Lan Shiqi, and the amount of T-bone is very large.

Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were half of each other, but he said that he couldn't finish eating, so he gave Yunluo a little more, causing Yunluo to eat a bunch of meat. Compared to Rossis's t-bones, the heat here is a bit overdone, but the sauce is very rich; Plus a beer, a glass of lemonade, and a tip of R130, less than Y100.

Eat and drink enough to continue on your way. It was already starting to get dark, and Yunluo couldn't help but worry about the time to reach Oudtshoo (the "D" in the road map), but when the car hit the road, all worries were thrown away.

Under the sun, a piece of gold was scattered on the grasslands on both sides of the highway without any obstruction, and the towering mountain peaks in front of them faintly scattered a faint golden light in the layers of clouds and mist.

It's as beautiful as a mirage, and I can't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful!" Although the time was pressing, Xiao Zhou still parked the car on the side of the road and let Yunluo get out of the car to take a few photos, he also felt that this scenery should not be too much, not this hour, this weather passing by this place, may not be able to appreciate this dazzling moment.

Continuing to move forward into the mountain, the clouds and mist in the valleys on both sides were ethereal, as if entering a fairyland, Xiao Zhou stopped again and finally caused Nalan Shiqi's anxiety, seeing that the sky was darkening again, Yunluo hurriedly pressed the shutter of his mobile phone and got back into the car.

Finally, when it was completely dark, I left the road and entered the town, although it was only 8 o'clock, but the town was already quiet, the shops were closed, no pedestrians could find one, the street lights were also dim, and it took a little trouble to find the "riversidelodge".

Maybe it was because it took a long time on the road, or maybe it was because of the good impression of the "HermanusGuesthouse", when the car drove into the small courtyard, Nalan Shiqi was very unimpressed with the two small houses under the dim light, and regarded the wooden house as a "tin house". Although this is not what Yunluo originally liked.

But I still believe that my choice will not be a mistake. Reception is a very small room,A Lori is painting in it.,The boss saw Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo coming.,Whispered to let her daughter move to the side.,Turn on the computer to check the record.,At this time,A little boy of the same age as Lori also ran into this small room.。

Discussed some issues with little Lori.。 Xiao Zhou didn't see Annie's car in the yard, and asked the boss if another Huaguo team had arrived, and the boss said that it hadn't. Yunluo couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart, it was still a bit dangerous to drive the mountain road just now in the dark.

The cabin has a bedroom and a hall with a kitchen, in addition to a sofa, a stove, a long table, a kitchen, a single bed, and a set of bunk beds, which can accommodate 5 people at a time. The chalet as a whole is not luxurious, but it feels very comfortable and cozy, with the feel of a country holiday home. Particularly liked the trunk bracket for the shower head.

The big bed in the bedroom was given to Nalan Shiqi, after some research on the three small beds outside, Yunluo finally chose the lower bunk, just about to go to bed to look at the ipad, Huaguo's mobile phone entered a short message, opened it and saw that it was a "distress message" sent by Annie, and they arrived at the gate.

But no matter how they called, no one answered, so they could only ask if Yunluo had arrived and if they could open the door for them. The large iron door outside the "RiversideLodge" also needs to be opened by remote control. Yunluo ran out to help them open the door, and then knocked on the boss's door, although the light came through the crack in the door.

But no matter how you knock, no one cares, there is a hand outside the door that rings the bell, knocks hard, deafening, but there is still no movement in the house, Annie, Ivy, and Alice came to knock on the door with Yunluo, after a few minutes of hard work, the door finally opened, and the four girls of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo said loudly in unison: "I'm sorry!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a moment of solidification in the air, and the boss only wore a pair of underwear to open the door, and after 1 second of silence, the boss immediately replied: "imsorry!", and quickly closed the door. After 10 seconds, the door opened again, and the boss, dressed in a dressing gown, opened the door to the small room next door to check in for the group. Yunluo couldn't help but laugh and went back to the room to watch the film!

A dreamless night, without waiting for the mobile phone alarm to ring, he woke up naturally, Nalan Shiqi had already exercised early on the terrace, obviously after the sun showed his face, he saw the true face of Lushan in this small hotel, and he would no longer mistake it for a "tin house".

Although it is not luxurious, it makes people feel relaxed and comfortable, especially the terraces of the two chalets, facing a view of the farm, if it is afternoon, it is so pleasant to sit here in the sun, look at the scenery, and drink afternoon tea. Even if you are backlit in the morning, looking at the green lawn below and eating breakfast in the breeze, you can start the day in a good mood. (To be continued.) )
