Chapter 297: Hercules Cup

The group drove directly to Cape Point.

The semi-finals are due to take place in the evening, and many fans have come to Cape Town in advance, with a significant number of fans travelling around the neighborhood before the game.

The Cape of Good Hope, which is the most famous, is naturally the choice of many people.

Parking lots at Cape Point are almost full.

The group got out of the car and walked towards Cape Point.

Although there is a cable car to walk, there are too many people in line, and Cape Point is only more than 200 meters, so the group chose to walk.

Adolph. Feng. Frank did his homework ahead of time and personally acted as a tour guide for the crowd.

"Cape Point also has a name called Lighthouse Hill because the lighthouse of the Cape of Good Hope was built here, not the Cape of Good Hope over there."

The crowd looked in the direction pointed by Adolf, and not far away there was a slender 6 land jutting out of the ocean, which was lower than Cape Point.

Adolf said: "The Cape of Good Hope has only a few rocks and cliffs, and the view from there can be seen here in all its aspects. ”

Wang Zixuan took off his sunglasses and put them in his pocket, and said with a smile: "Then we don't have to go over there." ”

The wind at the Cape of Good Hope was obviously stronger, and An Ran and others also took off their sunglasses.

Adolf pointed to a white building on the cliff on the other side and said, "That's the new lighthouse of the Cape of Good Hope, and the lighthouse on the top of the hill is the old lighthouse." When the sea is foggy, it is not easy for ships sailing to see the lighthouse at the top of the mountain, so the South African government built a new lighthouse at a lower altitude. ”

Walking up the narrow mountain road, starting from the mountainside, there are many observation decks on both sides of the road, which are actually small platforms with stone barriers.

Naturally, everyone wanted to climb to the top of the mountain.

When you go up to the top of the mountain, you see the old lighthouse.

There is also a sign next to it that says the distance to the major cities.

As soon as the baby went up the mountain, he pointed to the top of the sign and shouted: "There are 12,933 kilometers to the capital!" ”

There is also a distance to New York, London and other big cities on the sign, and the capital is the farthest one.

The pillars of the sign and the boulder next to it are covered with various characters, and of course there are a few lines of Chinese characters.

Wang Zixuan took a picture with his mobile phone. "It seems that graffiti is a hobby all over the world. ”

After looking near the lighthouse, the group went to the observation deck to see the sea view.

At your feet is the confluence of the Atlantic and Indian oceans.

The waves here were much bigger than the sea they had traveled before, and the bottom of the mountain was full of white spray.

An Yixuan pointed to the white sea dozens of meters below and said, "It's like a bubble in a bath down there." ”

Wang Zixuan looked at the waves several meters high that kept surging on the sea, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, we didn't take a boat to look at the Cape of Hope from the sea, otherwise I am afraid that we will be shaken like entering a washing machine." ”

Even if such a storm does not pose a threat to the Eclipse, sitting on the Eclipse will never be a pleasure.

It's also fun to stand at the top of the hill and look at the cascading observation decks below.

Some of the tourists below saw Wang Zixuan and others, and also pointed their cameras at Wang Zixuan and others to take a few photos.

After playing in Cape Point for more than ten minutes, the group took the cable car down the mountain. Return by car.

The convoy stopped at a small bay and Adolf explained: "This is Penguin Beach and there are more than 3,000 African penguins. ”

As soon as the group got out of the car, they heard a strange scream.

baby frowned and said, "What an ugly sound." ”

Ma Shu smiled: "It's a bit like a donkey barking." ”

Wang Zixuan said with a smile: "This is the call of African penguins, and African penguins also have a name called lazy donkey penguins." ”

The group bought tickets and walked through the wooden corridor to the beach where the penguins live.

Seeing the black and white elves, the bab girls immediately ignored their calls and praised the beauty of African penguins instead.

After looking at Penguin Beach for a while, the group came to a restaurant in Simon Town, where Penguin Beach is located.

Adolph. Feng. Frank had already arranged for someone to order lunch here in advance.

Enjoy a meal of seafood produced in the waters near the Cape of Good Hope. In the afternoon, the group drove back to their villa in Cape Town.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Zixuan met with FIFA President Blatter at Adolf's villa.

Blatter has been FIFA president since 1998. In FIFA, it can be said that it is a one-handed cover.

After the Eclipse arrived in Cape Town, Blatter contacted Wang Zixuan about Guò Hotspur to arrange a time for a meeting.

Although Wang Zixuan is not interested in FIFA, he doesn't want to meet a bad old man. But he bought a football team, and he couldn't help but give the FIFA president a little face, so he made an appointment to meet in the afternoon.

A few words of greeting. Blatter explained his intention and wanted Wang Zixuan to award the Hercules Cup to the champion team.

Wang Zixuan said a little surprised: "Didn't you ask Mandela to award the Hercules Cup?" ”

Arguably a legend in Africa, Mandela devoted himself to the fight against apartheid at a young age, for which he was imprisoned for 27 years, and after his release, he was elected the first black president of South Africa and was rescued numerous times in his life, including the Nobel Peace Prize.

Mandela was supposed to attend the opening ceremony, but his great-granddaughter died in a car accident the day before the opening, and the 92-year-old was absent from the opening ceremony.

However, FIFA has been inviting Mandela to attend the closing ceremony and presenting the Hercules Cup to the champions at the closing ceremony.

Whether the African wonder will attend the closing ceremony is also a hot topic in the media.

Blatter said with some regret: "Because of physical reasons, Mandela could only appear at the closing ceremony in a car and could not present the award. ”

said, and said sincerely: "Of course, you are not an alternative. If I had known in advance that you would be coming to South Africa, I would have been the first to invite you. You are more influential among young people now, and if you can award the Hercules Cup, it will be more conducive to the promotion of football. ”

Pit.

Huaxia didn't even qualify for the group stage, so you asked me to present awards to the champion team?

Wang Zixuan smiled and said: "I like the World Cup very much, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to award the Hercules Cup, I'm too young, and I haven't made any contribution to football." ”

Blatter laughed: "Age is not a problem, whether it is in terms of wealth or charity, your achievements are far superior to those of your predecessors." As for contributions, you are making the greatest contribution to football by awarding the Hercules Cup. As soon as it is announced that you will present the award to the champion team, I think the number of people following the World Cup final will increase a lot. ”

Wang Zixuan said unmoved: "I'm sorry, you should also know that I don't attend a large-scale event, and the award for the World Cup champion is too grand." ”

Blatter obviously didn't want to let go of Wang Zixuan, the hottest person in the world, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang is not interested in politics, but the World Cup has nothing to do with politics." We have always been committed to promoting football outside of politics. (To be continued!)
