Seeing a Thai puppet hanging on the wall, the same as the one sent by Freda, but in a different color, the boss said that he liked Thailand very much, and pointed to a Buddha statue in a prominent position and said that this was also brought back from Thailand. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Back in the room, Xiao Zhou had already come, helping Nalan Shiqi carry his luggage, the careless Nalan Shiqi broke a plate in the kitchen in a hurry, Yunluo had to go to the boss again, explain the situation to him and explain to him that he was willing to compensate, the boss said to go to the room first to see what kind of plate it was, Yunluo picked up the fragments that fell into 3 petals from the trash can.

The English gentleman smiled and said that this plate is not expensive, so there is no need to pay for it. Yunluo's little heart trembled with emotion. After waving goodbye to Lao Ying excitedly, the car drove out of this cute little winery and drove towards Hermanus.

The rain gradually stopped, and I was in a good mood and wanted to sing, and the scenery on both sides of the highway made Yunluo's nerves rise from cheerful to excited. From the winding mountains to the endless grasslands, you can't see a few cars after driving for dozens of kilometers, as if you are galloping in your own scenery.

About 1.5 hours from Franschhoek, Hermanus is a seafront town in the Western Cape province with an area of only 17.56km2 and a population of only about 10,500 people, but this exquisite town is a prime spot for spotting two of the largest marine animals, whales and sharks.

The whale that lives in the Atlantic waters of the Southern Hemisphere is the "Southern Right Whale", known locally □ ↘ as the "Southenrightwhale" in English, also known as the "laughing whale", and is one of the most gentle animals in the ocean. This huge mammal breeds every 2-3 years and has a gestation period of 9-10 months, with calves being 5-6 meters long at birth.

Adult whales can reach lengths of up to 15 to 17 meters and weigh up to 65 tons. If you don't eat during your north-south migration, you will lose half of your body weight. Some of the larger southern right whales can live for more than 80 years. Unlike other baleen whales, the right whale has no throat groove or dorsal fin, and has a black, smooth back.

The abdomen has irregular white patches, the jaw is highly curved and arched, and the black baleen hangs down to 2.5 meters. Due to their slow forward speed. Because they are often close to land, whale hunters are considered to be the whales they can really catch, and from June to November, the southern right whales swim back from the north to the southern waters.

This mysterious behemoth can be admired from the cliffs of the Hermanus sea, and every year in September or October, the whale festival is held for about four days, and during that time, it is not only difficult to find a place to stay in this quiet town, but all the roads are heavily congested.

Compared to whales. The great white shark is really not a big thing, generally 6 meters long, weighs 3200 kilograms, has a crescent-shaped tail, large teeth with serrated edges, is triangular, and the teeth are 10 centimeters long, the great white shark is a large offensive shark. It is the largest carnivorous fish, also known as man-eating shark and white dead shark. But.

There are also many adventurers who are willing to pay with their lives to reveal the unknown side of the great white shark, in their eyes, the great white shark is highly intelligent, curious, and most importantly, it is willing to contact people, when you treat it kindly. It will also treat you kindly.

But whether sharks are dangerous animals or not, killing and harming for profit should not be seen on Earth. To participate in "sharkcagediving" in Hermanus, you can book locally one day in advance during the non-peak season or by mail in advance, and depart by boat from Kleinbaaiharbour at around 9am.

8km at sea. Arrive at DyerIsland, an area where great white sharks' favorite food – seals. Since it is driving on the ocean, the bumps are large, it is easy to get seasick, after arriving at the DyerIsland area, change into a wetsuit, walk into a large iron cage, and the staff will lower you into the sea.

The head is exposed, and when the shark is attracted by the staff, the viewer takes a deep breath and dives into the sea, so that they can look at the great white shark up close.

It's not whale watching season, and Yunluo has no plans to go out to sea to see sharks, just want to feel the peace and coziness of this town.

It was noon when the car drove to the "HermanusGuesthouse", when I was looking for a room on booking, I was attracted by the photos of this hotel, the car drove to the gate, from the appearance of this small building is nothing special, but when the car is parked in the small yard, open the back door and enter the moment.

Yunluo was shocked by the layout in front of him, this is not only beautiful, it can be described as gorgeous, at a glance, I don't think this is a "guesthouse" at all, as if I strayed into the courtyard of a large European family, the beautiful "victorian style" is simply the "dream house" of all girls

Check-in time is 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are early, the room is still cleaning, when Yunluo is busy admiring this small building, the host brings tea and coffee, the utensils are so exquisite, with Nalan Shiqi's experience of getting into trouble in the morning, Yunluo hurriedly stood up to help him pour tea.

Even if this tea set is not an antique, it doesn't look cheap, and most importantly, this tea set is so delicate that Yunluo can't bear to see it a little damaged.

There are also small biscuits on the cabinet next to the dining room that you can eat yourself. Nalan Shiqi was busy eating, Xiao Zhou was busy enjoying the free wifi, and Yunluo was busy taking pictures.

There are only 10 rooms in total, there is free wifi, one room booked by Yunluo is called SecretChamber (R560/night), downstairs, there is no view, but there is a small living room, and the other room is on the second floor of the Queen's Chamber (R720/night), with a balcony facing the sea.

Great view. There are only 2 rooms on the first floor, and the opposite door to the secretchamber is King's Chamber (R720/night), and there are two small doors outside the 2 rooms.

Changed to the king's chamber, although there was no balcony, this room had a very cute little yard and was very nicely furnished. (All rates are for single occupancy, including breakfast)

After putting the luggage in the room, I first went to the place where Xiao Zhou stayed to check in, and then went to Newharbour for lunch. Hermanus has two relatively large harbours, the lively one is called "oldharbour" and the deserted one is called "newharbour", and the place where Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo live is between the two places.

The reason why I chose to go to "newharbour" for lunch is because Xiao Zhou said that there is a seafood supermarket there, and the supermarket itself is a restaurant, and the food is fresh and cheap for local dock workers. Because it was past lunch time and there was no one in the restaurant, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi each asked for a "hake" set meal.

Xiao Zhou asked for a big set meal, with more squid, and was later taken a lot by Yunluo. While waiting for the meal, I looked around the place where seafood was sold next to it, there were really a lot of things, the price was cheap, and even the ingredients had to be sold, but unfortunately there was no kitchen where I lived today, and I thought I would buy it again tomorrow morning.

Xiao Zhou is not wrong to recommend, the large, white and tender silver cod is impeccable, about 15cm long piece of fish meat only needs R26 (less than Y20). Because it's a fast food format, you don't have to tip yet.

There is a point in this dock area that is scheduled to go to sea to see whales, and there is a model of a whale outside the office, which is specially made of white parasites, Xiao Zhou said, the whales living in the ocean are like this, and the head has a white parasite, which looks a little disgusting, completely subverting the cute image of the little white whale seen in the cloud falling in the aquarium.

Out of the dock, I began to officially get to know this town that Yunluo had been yearning for a long time. There is a long plank road on the scenic line of the sea, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi get off at the top of the plank road, and Xiao Zhou drives to the end to wait for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. "If it's the peak season for whale watching, this boardwalk must be full of people, right?"

Yunluo thought as he walked, although there was no spectacular scene of whales churning in front of him, it was really nice to be able to feel comfortable on the unmanned plank road.

After walking the plank road, Xiao Zhou drove Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to a viewing platform not far ahead, there was still no one, only saw a cute thing hiding on the side and looking at it, Yunluo approached to take pictures of it, people actually disdained it, turned their heads to look at the sea view. There are many names for this cute thing on the Internet.

"Rock rabbit", "rock rat", and "mole", after coming back, Yunluo, the person who is most afraid of mice, endured nausea and inquired about most of the rodents, and basically confirmed that it is called "South African rock rat", distributed in southwest Africa, from the south of Angola through Namibia to the northwest of South Africa.

The body shape is similar to a ground squirrel, the habit is quite similar to the rock hyrax, likes to bask in the sun on the rocks, and is social and has a member responsible for sentry (it turns out that this is only out to sentry when encountered). Although there is only one kind of rock rat in the rock rat family, there are still big differences in the appearance of rock rats in different regions.

In addition to encountering cute things, you can also learn from Liang Yingdi here, but instead of pigeons, you are fed seabirds. Take out a short piece of fries and sit quietly, and soon flocks of seabirds will surround you, and at first you are a little scared to hold the fries in your hand. (To be continued.) )
