Chapter 1590: Meat Pie and Lobster
The Gold Coast is about 78 kilometres south of Brisbane, with direct buses to the city, making it easier to drive yourself, less than an hour away.
Obviously, you can fly directly from Sydney to Brisbane, which is comfortable and time-saving, so Han Xuancai mocked his father and said that he wasted his life, which was just a joke between father and son.
I've been on a train before, and the scenery on the way from Paris to Provence is very beautiful, but this night trip didn't see anything, so I slept on the train, and it's no wonder that his mother was upset.
The sky overhead is very blue, the sun is shining on the ground, and the temperature is not too high, about 24 degrees Celsius, and it will be even hotter in the afternoon.
Australia's population and factories are small, and they are quite concerned about environmental pollution, even if they live in big cities, they can see clean skies, while the skies in New York and London are always gray, and many Americans and Britons are fed up with the crowded big cities and choose to settle in Australia.
The big cities here are different from other places, the pace of life is relatively slow, and the population is not large, just three or four days after coming to Australia, Han Xuan already has a clear feeling about this.
But Australia is not a paradise for the rich who do business here, and the progressive tax rate is even worse than that of the United States, which has long been trained by the rich to be obedient little sheep, who are not stupid enough to take a knife and cut meat on themselves and give it to others......
The train station is very basic, there is not even a decent waiting hall, and the ticket office is just off the road.
A middle-aged man wearing a red printed short-sleeved shirt and a hat on his head, after seeing Han Xuan, instantly showed a smile and waved his hand and shouted: "Hey! This way! I work at Surfers Paradise Magic Resort! You rented a room at the hotel, right? The boss asked me to arrange a car to pick you up, and there are a lot of people.
Wow! I should be honoured to have never hosted a big man like you since it opened, and our boss even took the time to clean the resort and clean the pool all night after receiving the news.
Why did you choose to take the train to the Gold Coast? No one will take the train from Sydney except for those who are not well funded, it takes too long, and I will listen to your arrangement if you get on the train and take you to the resort first. ”
People who have worked in the scenic spot for a long time generally have a very powerful mouth, anyway, no one knows anyone, and they will be separated after a long stay, and their personalities will gradually become extroverted.
The guy added in strange English: "Call me David, you'll be your guide these days, and after visiting the Gold Coast, you're going to go snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef, right?" ”
"It was the room we booked.
Thank you very much for coming to pick us up, just now I was worried about whether to take a taxi, there are no big people here, some are just tourists, as for why I took the train, this has to ask my father. ”
Han Xuan replied with a smile, nodded and continued: "After playing on the Gold Coast, I will go diving, do you have a project in this area?" ”
"Yes, there are many boats that take visitors to the Great Barrier Reef in the north every morning.
We can help with tickets until we come back the next day, and we can rent our own yacht, in fact our boss has a yacht but it is slower......"
Australia's Great Barrier Reef is famous, and no diver or tourist is unaware of it.
Contrary to what people think, the Great Barrier Reef does not refer to a specific place, it runs through more than 2,000 kilometers of coastline in the northeast waters of Australia, and is composed of more than 2,900 large and small islands and reefs, all of which are called the Great Barrier Reef.
A short distance north of Brisbane is the Great Barrier Reef, which has been destroyed by human activity over the centuries and is now part of a legally protected marine park, with no match for the number of species and the beauty of the seabed.
Long before coming to Australia, Han Xuan made a simple plan for this trip to the southern hemisphere, and the matter of snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef had long been included in his and Anya's bucket list.
Divers often say that "if you don't dive into the Great Blue Grotto of Belize in your life, you will be a master", and the Great Blue Grotto of Belize, located about 100 kilometers on the west coast of the Caribbean Sea in Central America, is also on his bucket list.
Hearing Daddy ask David if he could go see it, Han Xuan couldn't help but mutter: "Geography idiot......"
The weather was nice and the mood was relaxed.
In the rambling introduction of the tour guide, Mr. David, the luggage was put into the trunk of the car, and the bodyguards drove it themselves.
Han Xuan picked a Maserati president made by his own company to sit in, the seat is not as comfortable as a Rolls-Royce, but among the luxury cars at the same price, it is already a leading existence, and its sales far exceed that of Porsche, whether it is the appearance of the body or the interior, it will make people feel comfortable.
Leave the train station and head east to the beach.
Surfers Paradise Magic Resort is right on the seafront, with 42 kilometres of golden sand, and more than 75 kilometres of nearby beaches combined.
Next to the city is the Gold Coast, which has developed by tourism, with signboards of various hotels hanging on the roadside, travel agencies, restaurants, souvenir shops, diving equipment rentals and sales and other industries occupying the mainstream, and now the weather is hot, it is the tourist season, and the streets are very lively.
It took more than ten minutes to come to the resort, after getting off the car, Han Xuan looked at the surrounding environment, the door is not far from the beach, just walk into the gate and see the swimming pool, the length is more than 20 meters, the pool water is clear, and the palm trees and coconut trees planted in the yard belong to the standard configuration of the seaside.
The detached villas are scattered next to the high-rise buildings around the swimming pool, and the main building is about 20 stories high, and it is precisely because of those villas that Han Xuan chooses to live in this hotel.
This time they rented a total of three buildings, David arranged it for them, and as soon as they walked into the house, the resort owner came over.
He was still very young, a disabled man, and he walked stiffly, with his left leg amputated down at the knee and fitted with a prosthesis.
On the way here, Han Xuan heard from David that he was fine the year before last, but because of the car accident, it became like this, and the other party was tired of driving, which harmed his life.
Despite his disability, the young man in his twenties, Brian Randall, looks quite optimistic.
Standing at the door, he greeted Han Xuan and them cordially and said, "Very welcome to our hotel, I hope you can spend a pleasant holiday here."
If you have any needs, please let us know directly, we will try our best to meet them, do you need to keep it confidential about your stay here? ”
As soon as Han Xuan heard it, he understood that most of them wanted to use the fact of his stay as a selling point to advertise the Surfers Paradise Magic Resort and attract others to come and live.
I didn't think there was anything, it was hard to ask for my own opinion, I had a good impression of him, I felt that he was a very business-minded guy, and replied with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Randall."
Your resort is very good, I'm very satisfied, by the way, do you have surfing equipment here? ”
"All the hotels on the Gold Coast are equipped with those, you don't have to worry, if you don't know how to surf, you can also arrange someone to teach you, David is a good surfer, just give him a little tip, in fact, you can not give it."
Randall made a joke, patted David on the shoulder, and continued, "It's not big at the sea, and it's the best time to surf until the evening comes."
There are no safety concerns, the nearby waters are fenced off by shark nets, and there are patrols on the sea.
What do you want to eat at noon? I'll arrange it for you.
If you need a swimsuit, let David take you to buy it, all the guests who come here want to be the first to touch the sea, I believe you are no exception......"
