1331. Overlooking a City (part 2/5)
It took more than half an hour to get from the airport around the city to Bach's location, and by the time they stopped on the ring road, it was already dark. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The sun is hazy in the east, and the sun is mild, so although it is in the cold winter season, it is actually not cold outside.
Daddy Bo took the princess out of the doll's arms and said, "It's not too cold, so don't warm my granddaughter." ”
The princess was stuffed in and out, her face bewildered.
After Wang Bo got out of the car, he stood on the mountainside and looked down, Reykjavik in the morning sun was exposed to his field of vision, undisguised and clean, as if he had just been washed with shower gel.
The morning sun is rising, and the burgundy sun is sprinkled on the mountains, on the earth, and on the sea in the west.
In this way, the morning sun glows like a paintbrush, and the mountains in the north and east are dyed a pale red, while the vast waters become an even more intense deep blue.
At the foot of the hill, houses are laid out in an orderly manner, and from the periphery to the city center, there are no large skyscrapers in the city.
Wang Bo looked at it, most of the houses below were small and exquisite, and the roofs were of various colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, which looked a little messy, but because the place was empty and the houses were not dense, such a sense of clutter could give people a rich feeling.
Seeing him intently looking at the city below, Morrison walked over and introduced: "Look, that's the Parliament building, that's the City Hall, and the University of Reykjavík, and if you look further on, it's the National Museum and the Cathedral......
Wang Bo tried hard to watch, but he couldn't tell at all, how could there be a building? Where is the cathedral?
Morrison also said with relish here: "The Houses of Parliament are nice, aren't they?" Built between 1880 and 1881, it has survived for more than 130 years and is mainly built of basalt, which is spectacular. ”
Bo Dad listened to the two chatting happily, so he came over to listen carefully, although he learned English, but he was old and did not have a higher education, so he did not learn well.
In this way, he couldn't understand the words of the two, and Eva next to him came up to translate for him very wisely.
Understanding Morrison's words, Bo Daddy looked at the so-called spectacular edifice and said, "It feels similar to our county government, but our county government seems to be granite." ”
Wang Bo now has an occupational disease, that is, he wants to learn what scenery and buildings he sees.
Hearing Morrison's proud introduction to the Houses of Parliament, he said to Eva: "Go back and we will rebuild the government, and this time we will make a distinctive building." ”
Government reconstruction is a must, and there are more and more office staff, and the three-story building can no longer accommodate it.
The bach hut is secluded and secluded in an open beech forest halfway up the mountainside.
Battier said it was a bach, but it was actually a small villa, with two floors, built on the hill, with a total of eight rooms, all wood, painted white, eye-catching and lovely.
Wang Bo opened the door and walked in, it was clean, there was a circle of sofas in the living room, a home theater, a billiard table, and a fireplace in the north.
Seeing Wang Bo paying attention to the fireplace, Morrison hurriedly said: "Try not to light it, this house has a sufficient heating supply, and it should not be cold at any time." ”
Wang Bo noticed that the room was steaming, and he said strangely: "This is halfway up the mountain, and there is actually a heating supply?" The government went out of its way to lay heating pipes into the mountains? ”
"We have a lot of geothermal resources in Iceland, and our ancestors built a geothermal heating system in Reykjavík back in 1928," Morrison said. ”
"Now, after continuous drilling and expansion, 370 miles of hot water pipes have been laid in the city, and there happens to be a geothermal heating point on this hill, and a pipe has been extended, so this villa is so expensive."
Wang Bo didn't know the price of this house, so he asked, "This house is very expensive?" ”
"Yes, 40 million!" Morrison sighed.
Eva was surprised: "Forty million?!" ”
Wang Bo said: "His unit should be Icelandic krona. ”
Icelandic krona is the local currency, and the exchange rate with the New Zealand dollar is close to 1:100, in fact, the house is only 500,000 New Zealand dollars, which is not expensive.
However, Iceland has low housing prices, and this kind of villa on the hill is not easy to use, so it can be sold at a very expensive price in Morrison's opinion.
Seeing Morrison nodding, Eva breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Bo smiled and said, "You don't think it's 40 million New Zealand dollars, right?" ”
Eva said, "You don't think President Battier can't do it, do you?" ”
In this way, Wang Bo also has to nod, indeed, the domineering president really doesn't treat money as money.
Morrison helped them with their luggage, then showed them the room and furniture and appliances before getting ready to go.
Before leaving, Wang Bo asked, "Volcanoes and earthquakes are more frequent here, right?" How? ”
Morrison was surprised: "You are from New Zealand, New Zealand and Iceland are both known as earthquake countries, I thought you didn't care about that." ”
"But I care about volcanoes." Wang Bo said, "I read the information that there are volcanic eruptions here every day? We're not going to be on a volcano, are we? ”
The skate blades themselves are formed by submarine volcanic eruptions, and volcanic and seismic activity is indeed very active.
Morrison shrugged, "Unfortunately, we do have volcanoes, and there are a lot of volcanoes hidden under Snæfells. ”
Eva smiled: "Then you tell us that this is an extinct volcano, otherwise my husband will panic." ”
Morrison looked open: "Why panic? Such things are uncontrollable, we are not God, we can only face them. Anyway, since you choose to come to Iceland, this should be expected. ”
Wang Bo thought about it, and it really made sense.
Morrison left the car for them, and Eva asked him how to get down the mountain, and he smiled heartily: "I'll run, I love sports, yo ho, run!" ”
Zhuang Ding thought that he was shouting to run, so he quickly pulled his legs to catch up, Lao Wang stopped it, stuffed it into the house with Xiao Wang, and said: "You are not allowed to go out at will, you must go out with us, you know?" ”
Xiao Wang sat down obediently, and the strong man's eyes were gurgling there, and he knew what bad idea he was fighting when he looked like a thief.
With only some sausages, meat and seafood in the refrigerator in the kitchen, and a lack of condiments and vegetables, Wang Bo decided to go down to buy vegetables while it was dark.
He asked Bo Dad and Bo Mom to watch the children, and took Eva and Little Lori out for a drive.
Eva showed her reluctance to love the doll, and when she left the hut, she immediately waved her fist excitedly: "Wow, the old lady feels that the air is so fresh!" ”
A Toyota pickup truck left by Morrison, this is the car that Wang Bo specially told him to drive, because ordinary cars can't accommodate hairy children such as Xiao Wang and Zhuang Ding.
They drove on the road, but just after coming down the mountain, a police motorcycle suddenly drove up and signaled them to stop.
