Chapter 55 Tours

"Dad, you said you quit your job and want to travel?" Zhao Xiaochuan felt a little incredible.

"Well, the bookstore at home has also been transferred, and your mother and I will leave in a few days. Let's go to Sanya to see the sea first, your mother and I haven't seen what the sea looks like. "Zhao Xiaochuan's hometown is in the northern interior, not to mention the sea, there are very few rivers and lakes.

"Okay, then you and my mom stay safe outside." Zhao Xiaochuan understands the changes in his parents very well, and he has worked hard for most of his life, and he should be blessed.

"Son, now that your conditions are so good, hurry up and get married and have children, you have a child, and your mother and I are completely relieved."

"I'm not in a hurry, I'll talk about it later."

Zhao Xiaochuan was preparing to go to Africa at this time, and he had already found a tour group and was ready to go with it. He had never been abroad, so it was more convenient to follow a tour group and make other plans when he got there.

In addition to the tour group, Zhao Xiaochuan also contacted two international mercenaries who would join him in Africa.

Zhao Xiaochuan did not sue Tie Ling in advance, and only sued Tie Ling before leaving.

"What? You're going to Africa? Why didn't you sue me sooner? Tie Ling was not very happy, she felt that Zhao Xiaochuan should sue her in advance for this kind of thing.

"I'm not traveling, I'm on business. I also suddenly decided to go to Africa. ”

Tie Ling instructed: "Pay attention to safety, I heard that kind of place in Africa is not peaceful." ”

Zhao Xiaochuan stretched out his hands and hugged Tie Ling: "What age is it now, Africa is just a little poorer, how can it not be peaceful." After finishing speaking, Zhao Xiaochuan kissed Tie Ling's lips.

After a long time, the lips parted, the two said goodbye, and Zhao Xiaochuan came to the international airport.

Because it is an international tour, the tour group gathers at the airport. Terminal 3, which is the agreed meeting place, Zhao Xiaochuan arrived a little early.

Zhao Xiaochuan saw a few people with red hats and knew that this was the meeting point for the tour group he was looking for.

A short, stocky man held up a sign that read "The End of the World Travel Agency."

Seeing the red cap on Zhao Xiaochuan's head, the short and fat man beckoned to him: "Handsome guy, here, here." ”

After Zhao Xiaochuan walked, the short and fat man table said: "Hello, I am the tour guide who led the group this time, my name is Tsui Hark." This is my partner, his name is Kotliva, you sign in first. Tsui Hark pointed to a tall, thin black man holding a form in his hand.

"Hey handsome guy, what's your name?" Kotliva spoke Chinese very clearly, just with a strange accent.

"Zhao Xiaochuan."

Kotliva began to search on the list, although he spoke Chinese very well, but obviously still very unfamiliar with Chinese characters, and did not find Zhao Xiaochuan's name for a long time.

"Here." Zhao Xiaochuan pointed out his name on the list with his hand, and Kurt drew a tick behind his name.

"You come and find your ticket." Kurt pulled out a stack of tickets. Round-trip airfare and accommodation are included in the fees charged in advance for the tours.

Zhao Xiaochuan found a ticket with his name on it.

Tsui Hark held up a sign, his eyes searching for the tour group members wearing red hats. As the appointed time arrives, more and more tour group members gather here.

Most of the members carried large travel bags, and quite a few carried suitcases. Zhao Xiaochuan, on the other hand, only brought a briefcase, which didn't look like he was going on a trip.

Zhao Xiaochuan's briefcase did not have many things, a wallet and two satellite mobile phones, as well as various documents. I had a lot of dollars in my wallet.

During this period, Tsui Hark also answered two phone calls, and two people couldn't go for something temporary. After crossing out those two names on the list, two more people did not arrive.

"Let's get together, and I'll tell you a few things." Tsui Hark stretched out his hand to summon everyone present, "We are on a ten-day trip to Africa this time, and everyone should know this." Well, the most important thing is to follow the command, not to break away from the team, not to act alone. If necessary, for example, to go to the toilet, be sure to report to me or Kotvali. If you go somewhere else, like Europe or the United States, you may be able to get back, but in Africa, if you get lost, you probably won't be able to come back. This is not alarmism. ”

"In the process of tourism, we must not laugh at the people of other ethnic groups in the local area, we must not break out conflicts with the locals, and we must ...... civilized tourism."

Tsui Hark said a lot, and although Zhao Xiaochuan felt bored, he remembered them all in his heart.

Just as Tsui Hark was about to finish speaking, a couple hurried over.

"Why are you two so slow, you're both late. What's the name of both of you? Tsui Hark asked.

After confirming that these two people were the remaining two on the list, Tsui Hark asked everyone to start collecting their boarding passes and preparing to get on the plane. After everyone boarded the plane in an orderly manner, the trip officially began.

This is a medium-sized passenger plane, with more than 160 seats, and the entire tour group of more than 50 people, occupies a third of the seats.

After flying for about ten hours, the plane arrived at its destination. Addis Ababa International Airport, Ethiopia, which is a well-known airport transit point in Africa.

The tour group has a connecting flight here and heads to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. When I flew to Nairobi airport, it was still daytime. Although I flew for more than ten hours, it was still daytime here because of the time difference. Most of the tourists are middle-aged, and there are many young people, only a few are slightly older.

Young people are more likely to adapt to jet lag, and they are curious and more excited when they come to unfamiliar places. The older ones had been on the road for such a long time, and although they had been sitting, they still felt tired.

The tour group did not stop, and more than 50 people sat in a bus and headed for Amboseli National Zoo.

Amboseli National Park covers 392 square kilometres of land and encompasses the entire Amboseli ecosystem, with an abundance of wildlife.

The group changed into two cars with steel fences and began to wander the wilderness.

Zhao Xiaochuan saw the Kilimanjaro Mountains standing tall in the distance, the highest mountain range in Africa. Zhao Xiaochuan saw zebras galloping on the grass, elephants looking up to the sky neighing, and lions lying on the grass leisurely basking in the sunset. The animals here are full of vitality, unlike in the country, which are kept in cages and lifeless.

At night, everyone eats roast sheep on the so-called big farm, and the bonfire is lit, and everyone sings and dances around the bonfire. In Zhao Xiaochuan's eyes, this kind of farm has a name with Chinese characteristics, called farmhouse.

After a night's sleep here, the next day the tour group woke up early and boarded the bus back to Nairobi. Most travelers are drowsy in the car and apparently haven't adjusted their biological clocks to the jet lag.

After rushing back to Nairobi, today's itinerary is the city of Nairobi, visiting the Convention and Exhibition Center, Freedom Square, Presidential Palace, etc., these contents are actually nothing to see, compared to the luxury buildings in the country, it is still a little worse. The whole of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, in Zhao Xiaochuan's eyes, not to mention the first-tier cities in China, even those second-tier cities are not comparable.

In the evening, in the hotel, Zhao Xiaochuan found the tour guide Tsui Hark and said that he was leaving.

"What? No, no, we have a rule, how many people are brought out, how many must be brought back. Tsui Hark's head shook like a rattle.

Zhao Xiaochuan: "Whether you agree or not, I will leave." I'm just here to say hello. ”

Tsui Hark was silent: "Okay, but the money will definitely not be returned to you." ”

Zhao Xiaochuan hadn't thought about this at all.

"Also, you'll want to write a disclaimer."

Zhao Xiaochuan found a pen and paper, wrote a disclaimer casually, signed it and handed it to Tsui Hark. After Tsui Hark looked at it carefully, he whispered: "If you are accidentally caught, don't say that you came with our tour group." ”

Zhao Xiaochuan didn't understand it at first, but after a while, it suddenly dawned on him. There are a lot of people who smuggle gold, diamonds and arms from the outside world and come to Africa. Tsui Hark apparently mistook him for a smuggling criminal who had come to Africa in a tour group.
