Chapter 700: Harr
"Well, there's so much more to see in Geneva!" Sylvie shrugged, not paying attention, "Then let's find a boat tomorrow and go around Lake Geneva!" There's a surprise for you! β
"What surprise?" Today's food and beautiful scenery make Shen Yibin feel very satisfied, the evaluation of Geneva as the second most livable city in the world really deserves its reputation, he even began to think about whether to buy a small estate in the local area, and then take them over for vacation for a period of time every year, anyway, now that the rules of the pet store have changed in the future, he has a lot of time, and he doesn't have to be as nervous as in the past!
"Since it's a surprise, of course I can't tell you so quickly!" Sylvie raised her index finger and shook it gently, with a mysterious smile on her face, and then looked at Alfred, he was still that old-fashioned appearance, Shen Yibin couldn't get any useful news from it at all, it seemed that he could only wait for tomorrow!
"Okay then, just wait for tomorrow!" Shen Yibin had no choice but to give up, and then today's game was over, and Sylvi took them to another restaurant with a unique flavor and returned to the hotel after dinner, this time Shen Yibin and Ha'er could finally sleep peacefully.
After ten hours of sleep, the telephone rang at seven o'clock the next morning, and Sylvie woke them up, had breakfast at the hotel and drove to Lake Geneva, with Alfred in front and Sylvie in the back telling them about Lake Geneva, "During the Quaternary Ice Age, the RhΓ΄ne, which originated in the Alps, was blocked by moraine material in the Ecluze region, and thus became a lake, which is also the largest dammed lake in the world"
Shen Yibin listened while admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window through the window, and had to admit that although Sylvie was a nymphomaniac when she saw Har, she was worthy of being from the royal family, and she had a deep understanding of history and culture, and her knowledge reserve was extremely profound, and Shen Yibin listened to it with relish.
"Since ancient times, many famous writers and great poets have praised and eulogized it, Henry James called it 'a strange blue lake', Byron likened it to a crystalline mirror that 'has the nourishment and air necessary for contemplation,' and Balzac said it was 'synonymous with love.'" It's just that when talking about the poems of these celebrities, perhaps because of the translation, Shen Yibin felt that he was far less emotional than when he first heard "If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is always appropriate to wear heavy makeup and light makeup", "After all, in the middle of June, the scenery of the West Lake is not the same as the four seasons, the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun".
"Wow! What is that? It didn't take long for Shen Yibin to see Lake Geneva from afar, and before he had time to indulge in the blue and clear lake, Shen Yibin was shocked by another beautiful scenery.
"That's the big fountain I just told you about." "This fountain was built in 1891, when it could shoot to a height of 90 meters, and then in 1958, it was renovated again, the water speed at the vent reached 200 kilometers per hour, and the height of the water column can reach 140 meters when there is no wind,"
"One hundred and forty meters high! It's taller than the tallest building in Yunzhong City! In this regard, Shen Yibin could only open his mouth in surprise, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.
"That's it! We'll be able to see the surprises for you in no time! The car stopped at a dock, and Sylvie opened the door and walked out, stretched out her hand and pulled Hal out, pointing ahead and saying, "Look, do you like it?" β
"Huh? Well! Well! Hal was momentarily surprised, and then immediately became extremely excited, and nodded his head again and again, looking very satisfied with the surprise that Sylvie had prepared.
"I'll see what it is?" Shen Yibin also got out of the car, followed Ha'er's gaze, and immediately opened his mouth wide, "Wow, this is the surprise you prepared?!" It's too extravagant! β
I saw a beautiful wooden sailboat docked in front of me, with a huge sail bulging on the towering mast, and in the middle of the sail was a huge panda pattern in clothes, and next to the pattern were written the three Chinese characters "Ha'er".
"Welcome to the Hal and now follow Captain Sylvie aboard the ship and we'll be sailing around the lake soon!" Sylvie took a captain's hat from Alfred and put it on her head.
"Didn't you buy a sailboat because we were coming?" Shen Yibin's brain went down directly, which is a bit too tyrant, right? Well? Wait a minute, this ship looks like it's a bit old, it shouldn't be a new ship, right?
"Of course not, it takes a long time to build a sailboat!" Sylvie immediately relieved Shen Yibin's doubts, "The shores of Lake Geneva are famous resorts in Europe, our royal family of Sokovia has had their own estates and docks here a long time ago, this ship was a birthday gift from my father when I was sixteen years old, it was called Princess Sylvie before, and now I have changed my name. β
"I see!" This statement is acceptable.
"This time I will personally lead you around Lake Geneva in a boat." When she came to the ship, Sylvie directly took the captain's position, and put sailor's hats on Ha'er and Shen Yibin, and even the youngest Malfurion got a mini hat.
"You can also operate a sailboat?" Awesome to my Royal Highness Princess.
"Of course, I trained specifically after receiving the gift, and although I can't sail around the world yet, I still have no problem in a calm inland lake like Lake Geneva!" Sylvie replied confidently, and then began to expertly issue orders.
At the sound of her order, the sailors on board immediately got busy, lifted anchor and hoisted their sails, and the Harr slowly left the dock and began its voyage around Lake Geneva.
Tsk, this is called life, when it comes to enjoyment, an upstart like me really can't compare with a senior aristocrat like Sylvie!
When the sailboat began to sail smoothly, Sylvie's work came to an end, and she took Shen Yibin on the deck to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Geneva in the breeze, and kept introducing him to the various attractions on the shore, which was once the former residence of a great poet, and where a great thinker wrote his great work.
"That house was where the English poet Shelley and his wife, Mary Shelley, once lived, and it was where Mary Shelley wrote the famous science fiction Frankenstein"
