Chapter 160: Raise your eyebrows
Although there were two tour groups on the pier, they were the only ones who went to Kuramathi Island. But in the tourist itinerary, it is the speedboat, not the yacht, that is responsible for picking them up.
You must know that although there is only one word difference between a speedboat and a yacht, there is a world of difference in price and scale! The smallest yacht is seven or eight meters, and the price is at least hundreds of thousands, or even tens of millions, or hundreds of millions. The largest speedboat is only seven or eight meters, and the most expensive is hundreds of thousands. If you want to use an analogy, then the difference between a yacht and a speedboat is like a luxury RV and a Wuling van......
Just as the group of 10 people, as well as another nearby tour group, were paying attention to the luxury cruise ship near the pier. I saw Li Hao, who was wearing sunglasses, suddenly received a call on his mobile phone, "Hey, hello sir, our cruise ship that is responsible for receiving you is about to dock, are you at Male Pier now?"
Li Hao dragged the suitcase in one hand and held the mobile phone in the other and said, "Oh, I've arrived." ”
"Yes, sir, may I ask what color you are wearing today, so that we can recognize you." Lisa, on the other end of the phone, asked in English.
"I was wearing a white T-shirt and light blue pants. Li Hao replied simply.
"Oh, sir, I think I saw you, are you wearing sunglasses and dragging a coffee-colored suitcase?" Lisa, the manager, stood on the yacht and waved to Li Hao on the shore.
Her every move, including her enthusiastic wave to Li Hao and her smile showing her white teeth, were all watched by the two tour groups on the shore.
Lisa stood on the luxury yacht and said loudly to Li Hao in English, "Hello, sir, I'm Lisa, and I'm honored to receive you on behalf of Kuramathi Island Hotel!"
Li Hao dragged his luggage, walked generously to the dock deck, and thanked the other party in English, "Thank you, you came in time." ”
The scene was deeply watched by the tourists of the two tour groups. To say that they came to the Maldives to visit the Maldives this time, each person spent nearly 20,000 yuan in travel expenses. And that's not even counting food and shopping.
I thought that the cost was so high that I could go abroad and enjoy the treatment of a fairy. By the way, I took two photos and sent them to Moments, which made the people around me envious. I didn't expect to meet a tyrant-level figure like Li Hao today. Just staying in a hotel, the hotel will send a luxury yacht worth millions to pick you up! This grandeur and pomp are really enviable!
When Li Hao boarded the ship, the luxury yacht sailed directly away from the dock, and under the attention of everyone, it gradually drifted away......
Ten minutes later, the hotel sent a speedboat to pick up and drop off, noisy with the sound of diesel engines, and rushed to the pier suddenly.
Because Li Hao's luxury yacht came first, when the two speedboats arrived, the tourists of the two groups always felt as if they were missing something in their hearts and couldn't get their energy...... To put it simply, he was invisibly hit by Li Hao just now......
......
After the yacht sailed for more than 60 minutes, Li Hao saw a beautiful island in the shape of a crescent, Kuramati Island.
Kuramathi Island is one of the most beautiful small atolls in the Maldives. The island's focal point is the Kuramati Resort, which is filled with lush and fragrant frangipani, beautiful hibiscus and bougainvillea, morning glory and a variety of South Asian trees that can be tended to make your gardener's dream come true. Coming to this island is better than walking on other islands, and it definitely makes for a perfect dream vacation.
Li Hao was arranged in the hotel's most luxurious luxury water bungalow, commonly known as the luxury water villa. The villa is located in the middle of the water and is supported by pillars, making it very sturdy and safe to live in. Surrounded by lagoon and seascapes, the islands and trees in the distance give you the feeling of being surrounded by nature.
When Li Hao packed his belongings and took a shower in his luxury villa, he dried his hair and changed into a resort-style Hawaiian shirt, pants, and slippers. Shi Shiran walked out of the luxurious water villa and went to the buffet area of the hotel on the island to enjoy a delicious Maldivian seafood feast.
On the way to the buffet area, Li Hao saw Xue Youyou's mother and daughter who had just taken a selfie with him, and it seemed that they had encountered some problems when checking into the hotel.
I saw Xue Youyou's mother saying something to her daughter in Chinese, and then her daughter Xue Youyou conveyed to the hotel in English, "Hello, the standard room we live in does not have a kettle. My mom has been upset lately and needs hot water to warm her stomach......"
In the face of the request of the mother and daughter, the hotel front desk lady seemed to reply reluctantly, "I'm sorry, miss, our hotel side does not provide the kettle." ”
It has also been revealed on the Internet that hotels in the Maldives do not provide hot water to Chinese tourists. The reason is that the hotel found that hot water was given, and many Chinese tourists ate instant noodles in their rooms instead of going to the restaurant, so the Chinese tourists all withdrew the hot water service.
Holidays in the Maldives are really expensive. A poached egg costs $19, and a seafood meal starts at $230. Moreover, Chinese tourists are not used to eating Western food every day, either curry or cream, and they are guaranteed to be tired of eating every day. On the first day and the second day, the diet was fine, but on the third and fourth days, it was a bit of a waste of money to be wronged. In the face of one or two thousand restaurant consumption a day, the key is to have an uncomfortable stomach. Therefore, it is actually understandable to eat two packets of instant noodles to relieve your stomach.
Xue Youyou's mother and daughter saw the front desk lady and said that they didn't agree to provide a kettle. No matter how much the tour guide next to him communicates with the hotel, it will not help. The mother and daughter and the female tour guide stood at the front desk for a while and had no choice.
At this time, her daughter Xue Youyou saw Li Hao walking slowly, so she hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded, "That... I'm sorry, my mother has an upset stomach and wants to drink some hot water, but the hotel doesn't agree to provide us with ......"
......
Because Li Hao came to the island on a luxury yacht just now, Xue Youyou subconsciously sought Li Hao's help.
As a Chinese, Li Hao naturally cannot see his compatriots being "discriminated against" in a foreign country. After patiently listening to the ins and outs of the matter, Li Hao directly called the hotel manager Lisa and said, "Hello, Miss Lisa, I heard that the hotel does not provide hot water kettles for Chinese tourists?
Xue Youyou and the tour guide beside him listened quietly to Li Hao's English, and then waited silently for the results. Listening to Li Hao's tone just now, the two of them didn't seem to be as simple as VIPs.
