After buying the diamond ring, Mengdu and Liping went downstairs.

When they came downstairs, they found that most of the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment were waiting at the entrance of the store.

So, Mengdu and Liping hurriedly walked out of the store door and stood with everyone.

After about ten minutes, the tour guide Xiao Luo saw that the group members had basically arrived, nodded their heads, and sure enough, none of them were missed.

So, Xiao Luo led the Jin Qiu group to the place where the bus stopped.

After less than three minutes of walking, everyone was on the bus.

After the group members were seated, the tour guide Xiao Luo explained a few words to the driver in French, and the driver immediately started the car.

After driving, the tour guide Xiao Luo habitually picked up the microphone and was ready to introduce the rest of the itinerary to the tour group:

"Dear friends, today, we not only visited the windmill village and the folk village, but also visited the diamond processing factory, and many friends also bought their favorite wooden shoes and diamond jewelry. I'm sure you'll be impressed by the city of Amsterdam! At the same time, the diamond jewelry and wooden shoes that everyone buys also save more than one-third of the price compared with buying them in China. In other words, if a friend buys a diamond ring, he will earn about 10,000 yuan for himself for this alone. This is more than three wages for ordinary employees in China! Below—"

"Hey, wait, Xiao Luo, what did you say? If you buy a diamond ring, it will be about 10,000 yuan cheaper than in China?! ”

After listening to Xiao Luo's introduction, a member of the Jinqiu group surnamed Li shouted in surprise.

"That's right, didn't I introduce you to you on the way from the folk village?"

Xiao Luo replied with a smile.

"Oh, no, today, I only bought one diamond ring. Since the price difference is so big, I have to buy one for my sister. Could you please tell the driver and let me go buy another ring? ”

The group member surnamed Li asked in a pleading tone.

"So——, do you have any other friends who need to buy it?"

The tour guide Xiao Luo glanced at his friend surnamed Li, and then looked at the other members of the group inquiringly.

"Oh, since there's such a big price difference, I'll go buy two more diamond necklaces!"

Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, immediately raised his hand in response.

It seems that Mr. Liu not only has a straightforward personality, but also considers problems from the perspective of a businessman when he does anything.

"Yes, I'm going to buy two more diamond rings too!"

"I'd like to buy another diamond necklace too!"

Under the influence of the group members surnamed Li and Mr. Liu, several group members in the car raised their hands in response.

"Mengdu, why don't we buy a diamond necklace for our mother?"

Liping heard that buying a diamond ring can save tens of thousands of dollars compared with China, and she also followed everyone's heart. So he made a suggestion to Yumeto, who was sitting next to him.

"No need! My mother is an old woman, what kind of diamond necklace do you wear? Don't buy it! ”

Mengdu immediately rejected Liping's suggestion.

"Okay. Since so many friends still want to buy diamond jewelry, then I ask the driver to wait a little longer. If you need to continue to buy jewelry, please get off now! If you don't need to buy it, please wait a little in the car. ”

After nodding to the group members in the car, the tour guide Xiao Luo turned his head and exchanged a few words with the Chinese bus driver in French.

The driver immediately turned off the car's motor, pressed a button on the driver's platform, and the minibus door opened again.

So, seven or eight people went down to the car.

The rest of the group members continued to stay in the car to talk about the quality, style, and price of the diamond jewelry produced by the factory, as well as the characteristics of the jewelry they bought.

After waiting for about half an hour, the group members who got off the bus again to buy diamond jewelry finally returned.

When they got on the bus, they all had satisfied smiles on their faces, and they were still chattering about the diamond jewelry they had just bought, as if they had picked up a big ingot.

The tour guide Xiao Luo saw that all the people had arrived, so he asked the bus driver to start the car again.

"Hello everyone! Just now, I saw my friends who got off the bus for the second time to buy diamond jewelry, all smiling and happy! You must be very satisfied with the jewelry you have purchased, and you are also very excited that you have saved a lot of cash, right? ”

After driving, Xiao Luo teased everyone in a relaxed language.

"That's a must!"

Shandong Dahan replied loudly:

"Think about it, buying a piece of jewelry is at least 10,000 yuan less than in China. Buy two or three pieces, and I'll have the tour price for my trip to Western Europe! Isn't that a free tour for us this time? ”

"Yes, just now, I bought two more diamond rings. All together, I bought a total of three diamond rings here. According to Mr. Liu, I am also a free tour this time! ”

The group member surnamed Li happily followed Mr. Liu to show off.

"Well, that's good! As long as everyone is satisfied, I, the tour guide, will be comforted! Now, we're leaving Amsterdam for Cologne, Germany. ”

The tour guide Xiao Luo saw that everyone was seated in their respective seats, and then resumed the introduction of the rest of the itinerary.

"Oh, we're going to leave Amsterdam now? How many kilometers does it take to get from Amsterdam to Cologne? ”

After listening to Xiao Luo's introduction, Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, immediately asked the tour guide loudly.

"Oh, not too far. Amsterdam to Cologne, the distance is more than 400 kilometers. Now, let's go for lunch first, and then leave immediately after lunch, and we can reach Cologne by 6 p.m. ”

The tour guide Xiao Luo carefully answered Mr. Liu's questions.

"Oh, Amsterdam is so close to Cologne!"

Mr. Liu nodded and stopped asking.

After a while, the minibus took the golden autumn group to a Chinese restaurant in Amsterdam's South District.

After the members of the Golden Autumn Group got out of the car, they saw that the food in this restaurant was still similar to the food in the previous Chinese restaurants, and everyone had no appetite.

After a few bites of food at will, the members returned to the minibus listlessly.

So, the minibus immediately set off for Cologne, a famous city in Germany.

"Friends, on the way to Cologne, I would like to briefly introduce you to Cologne."

After the minibus started, the tour guide Xiao Luo took the microphone and said to the Jin Qiu Tuan:

"Cologne is the fourth largest city in Germany and the oldest city in Germany!

Cologne was founded during the ancient Roman Empire, with a developed economy, beautiful scenery and many places of interest.

European poets have written countless beautiful poems for it.

In 1848, Marx and Engels founded the Neue Rheinische Zeitung in Cologne.

In Europe, there is a saying that 'if you don't get to Cologne, you don't get to Germany'! ”

"Ho ho, Cologne is so important in Germany? Is it like Shanghai in China? If a foreigner travels to China, we can also say that if you don't go to Shanghai, you don't go to China? ”

It was still Mr. Liu, a big man from Shandong, who sat on the seat and interjected a sentence after listening to the tour guide's introduction to Cologne.

"Yes, you're absolutely right!"

The tour guide Xiao Luo smiled and nodded, and continued to introduce:

"The city of Cologne straddles both sides of the Rhine, just as we in Shanghai, China, straddle both sides of the Huangpu River.

The city of Cologne has a small population of 998,000 and an area of 405 square kilometres.

It is a city famous for its Romanesque churches and Gothic cathedrals.

In particular, the Cologne Cathedral, which stands on the banks of the Rhine, is 157.8 meters high.

It has two Gothic minarets:

With a height of 157.38 meters and a height of 157.31 meters, the north tower is currently the tallest twin-tower church in the world.

The construction of Cologne Cathedral, known as St. Peter's Cathedral, was built in 1248 and completed in 1880. It lasted 632 years and was nicknamed "the church that can never be completed" by the people of Cologne!

At the same time, "St. Peter's Cathedral" is also known as "the church that can't be blown down"!

This means that in World War II, when the United States and Britain counterattacked the German army in 1945, Cologne was almost razed to the ground, but the most strange thing is that the buildings around Cologne Cathedral were all blown up, but Cologne Cathedral survived, only a small sharp corner was blown up.

This small sharp corner, after the end of World War II, was quickly restored.

St. Peter's Cathedral consists of five naves and a cloister with three side naves, built around the altar.

The altar remains the largest altar in a medieval German church as it was when it was first built.

The cross on the altar is also the oldest and most famous treasure among the large-scale sculptures in Europe.

Today, St. Peter's Cathedral has become a symbol of the city of Cologne and a popular attraction for tourists from all over the world.

The heart of Cologne, the inner city of Cologne, is located on the west bank of the Rhine.

Cologne's monuments and bustling business districts are largely concentrated in the inner city.

Cologne Cathedral, on the other hand, is in the heart of the inner city.

The traffic around the cathedral is heavy, with cars and buses flowing constantly.

More than a decade ago, the people of Cologne built a church platform to isolate the building from noisy traffic. The result was the church square and became a meeting point for locals and tourists alike. ”

"Hey, Xiao Luo, I'm not interested in the cathedral, can you tell us something else?"

Hearing this, Mr. Liu interjected again.

"Oh, I've finished introducing the cathedral."

The tour guide Xiao Luo did not express her dissatisfaction with Mr. Liu's behavior of interrupting her introduction, she smiled at Mr. Liu and continued:

"In fact, Cologne is also a shopping paradise for tourists from all over the world! If you want to shop in Germany, you can go to Cologne's 'Walker's Paradise', also known as Hoyerstraße.

In 'Walker's Paradise', there are the famous Cologne perfumes and various high-tech gifts from Germany. Well, I visited for a morning today, and you all worked hard. In order not to disturb everyone's rest, Cologne is temporarily introduced here. ”

The tour guide Xiao Luo saw that many of the members of the Golden Autumn Group were tired.

Even Mr. Liu, a Shandong man who has always been full of energy, and his two fellow countrymen also showed a sleepy look on their faces.

The most prominent is Mengdu, who is sitting next to Liping, who is already leaning his head on the seat, and there is an even sound in his nostrils.

The tour guide, Xiao Luo, knew that this must have affected the physical strength of the four of them for some reason when they went to Amsterdam's red light district for the second time last night.

In order not to affect the rest of the group, the tour guide Xiao Luo stopped the introduction to Cologne in time.

So, in a quiet environment, the minibus galloped smoothly and rhythmically towards Cologne along the Dutch motorway to Germany.

The tourists on the minibus also dozed off in the steady journey.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the minibus entered a service area.

As usual, people get out of the car to pee, drink coffee, and visit the souvenirs at the counter in the service area.

After a quarter of an hour's rest, everyone got into the car collectively and continued to sleep.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the minibus traveled on the highway for about two hours, and sure enough, as the tour guide Xiao Luo said, it arrived in Cologne at more than 5:40 in the afternoon!

It's the autumn season of October, looking west of Cologne:

The reddish sun still roams in the red-scented sky.

The sun is far away from the mountain peaks, and there are several bamboo poles in height.
