Chapter 373: Lilac Island, Tanzania

The Hangzhou sister-in-law is not annoyed, as long as she knows the way, she will definitely break it and crumple it to tell you thoroughly, if she doesn't know the way, it doesn't matter, she will ask like the local waiter here or even the guests who are more familiar, and then tell Hong Tao after getting the answer.

The taste of the food here is okay, at least you can eat the taste of Chinese food, as for what is good and bad, Hong Tao didn't feel it, he basically relied on instinct to stuff this meal into his mouth, chewed and swallowed, in the end Boss Liu They didn't pay attention to what dishes they ordered, his attention was all on chatting with this sister-in-law.

In fact, this sister-in-law has been here for less than 2 years, and she has not even traveled to the city of Dar es Salaam, and she has a dark eye for many of the questions raised by Hong Tao, especially about hunting, and she does not know much about Hong Tao, it seems that this hunting activity is only limited to a small group of people, for these ordinary people, every day they think about how to live a better and more comfortable life, and no one cares about those things that are too far from their income level.

However, she still knows a little about Zanzibar, because when she first arrived, her brother-in-law took her to explore the area. This sister-in-law gave a very good suggestion for Hong Tao and them to go to the island to play, that is, the transportation on the island is not very convenient, if you want to play comfortably, it is best to call the hotel on the island in advance, book a room first and then make an appointment for a taxi.

For his sister-in-law's suggestion, Hong Tao immediately took an advertisement that his sister-in-law helped him find, dialed the phone number of a hotel called Serena Hotel on the island, booked three rooms and a taxi, and made an appointment to take the first ferry to the island tomorrow morning.

After lunch, Hong Tao and his party said goodbye to this little sister-in-law in Hangzhou, Hong Tao and they wanted to leave some gifts for others, but their luggage has not been hauled over. There are only a few simple items that you carry with you, and there are no gifts to give at all.

You said to tip more, Hong Tao felt that this did not reflect the feelings of compatriots, so he patted his chest and promised that when he came back from hunting, if he still wanted to stay here, he would definitely come to visit her restaurant and bring her a fresh game back.

Out of the restaurant, Hong Tao and the three of them didn't go anywhere, and went back to the hotel directly. On the one hand, Boss Liu and Fat Boss are indeed a little tired after 2 days of tossing. On the other hand, the sister-in-law from Hangzhou just now also emphasized that if you don't understand the language and don't have a reliable guide to guide you, it's best not to go around other parts of the city casually, it's not safe.

Early the next morning, after having breakfast at the hotel, Hong Tao and the three of them walked directly to the small pier and bought tickets for the luxury Kilimanjaro ferry, which cost $60 per person and went back and forth in first class.

I waited for a while. The Kilimanjaro came, and Hong Tao saw that this Nima was a ferry, and this was a slightly larger yacht. It is divided into two floors, the upper one is the first class cabin, and the lower one is the ordinary cabin, the only difference is that in the first class you can sit on the leather sofa and watch DVDs. There was also air conditioning to enjoy.

By the way, the climate in Tanzania is completely different from our northern hemisphere, where it is in the twenties all year round. There is no spring, summer, autumn and winter, only the dry season and the rainy season.

In the region north of Dar es Salaam, the long rainy season runs from March to May, with heavy rain pouring almost every morning, and at noon the sun is shining, and then clouds begin to gather again in the evening; November to December is the short rainy season, and the rain is frequent, but not as heavy as the long rainy season.

In the area south of Dar es Salaam, there is basically only one long rainy season and one dry season every year, from November to May, and the rest of the year is the dry season.

Hong Tao came here in January, according to the climate, it is not very good, because December to April is the hottest time here every year, and the temperature at noon can reach more than 30 degrees, which is basically the same as the summer in Beijing. But fortunately, the temperature difference here is relatively large, the day is hot and the night is cooler, a bit like the Xinjiang region of our country.

"I'm X, what year is this film? Just show me this and charge me $15 more! It's so tricky! After entering the cabin, Hong Tao saw the film on TV at a glance, it was actually a Hong Kong martial arts film, but the age was a little older, and it was shot in the 8 and 90s.

"Have you seen it? What's your name? The fat boss didn't raise any objections, on the contrary, he looked at it very seriously.

"I haven't seen it, who hasn't seen this thing!" Hong Tao pursed his lips.

"Then shut up, it's not pretty...... Hey, hey, hey. The fat boss didn't ask the name of the film, so he immediately turned his face, stretched his neck and stared at the Wuda scene on TV, and let out a few smirks from time to time.

"It's a shame, no one can see it for free in China, you came here to spend more than 100 yuan to see this, do you understand?." Hong Tao saw the virtue of the fat boss, and quickly moved to the side, it was too embarrassing to sit together, there were not only Hong Tao and the three of them in the first class, but also an old white couple.

The boat drove for about an hour and a half, and just as the fat boss had already started watching the second film, the pier in Zanzibar arrived. Hong Tao and his party slowly got off the boat between a group of black and white people, and just as they wanted to go directly to the dock to find a taxi to pick them up, two black men in uniform stopped them.

"What's going on here?" The fat boss scared the last encounter at the airport in the United States, and when he saw it, he was stopped again, and his fat face began to turn white again.

"Oh, it's okay, it seems that there is still a need for entry registration here, wait for me to ask." Hong Tao hurriedly comforted the fat boss, this person's figure is inversely proportional to his courage, if he comes a few more times according to the United States, it is estimated that he will not go back to China, and he will be scared to death on the journey.

After arguing with the two black policemen for a long time, Hong Tao didn't understand whether they were speaking English or German, let alone asking what was going on. At this time, the old couple who were in the first class with Hong Tao just now extended a helping hand and explained to Hong Tao in a standard London accent.

Although it is considered Tanzanian territory, Zanzibar is highly autonomous, so all foreigners, including Tanzanians, who are not residents of the island, must register as soon as they are not residents of the island. However, the old couple from the United Kingdom also told Hong Tao that this is just a routine procedure, and there is basically no failure to pass, as long as the passport is stamped for them.

"Isn't this a bitch and still having to set up a torii! My body has fallen into the well, and I still have an ear to use it for an egg! After listening to Hong Tao's relay, the fat boss immediately became energetic again, staring at a pair of small round eyes and expressing his dissatisfaction with this red tape.

"You be quiet, if you catch up with someone who understands Chinese, we will be in the mud." Hong Tao can see through this fat boss, this is a standard timid and babbling guy, and he doesn't know how he earned his share of the family property, this god is really unreliable sometimes.

"So that there are still people who understand Chinese?" The fat boss didn't quite believe Hong Tao's words.

"That's not good, you don't know the way, this is an old friend of China, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has given aid to Africa or something, you look at that old man, maybe he understands Chinese." Hong Tao made up nonsense and always had an idea, pointing to a black old man standing not far away for the fat boss to see.

"Fatty, don't listen to him scare you, if you have the guts to be as big as your mouth, you won't have anything." Boss Liu, who was standing in the back, couldn't look at it, and made a statement to expose Hong Tao's nonsense.

"I'm going to smoke you a bear thing, and make fun of your fat uncle every day." At this time, the fat boss realized that Lu Dao was deliberately scaring him by Hong Tao just now, and he was annoyed and angry for a while, and even the black policeman next to him was not afraid, so he scolded directly.

Sure enough, as the old British couple said, what kind of entry registration check is, in fact, it is to stamp a stamp on your passport, and you don't even ask. Soon, Hong Tao and their passports were successfully stamped with the official seal of the Zanzibar government, and then they were released. (To be continued......)
