Chapter 494: Staying at the hotel

"It's a cruise that is unique to Genoa and we take this past. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Across the piazza next to the pier is a small riverside in the city of Genoa.

There are a number of small boats parked in the river, these wooden boats are controlled by people, powered by hedron energy, and of course, there are oars on them in case they are needed.

Watson and their boat did not have a boatman who had been waiting there for a long time, because it was still Minsha who drove the boat, and she was trained not only as a tour guide, but also as a driver during the tour, so she was prepared with the keys to various public transportation in Genoa City, and when she arrived at the boat, she inserted the key into the lock hole, and the tail of the boat lit up with spar energy and began to start slowly.

Taking advantage of the time to go to the hotel, Minsa began to tell the general situation of the city of Genoa.

The city of Genoa is well connected by waterways, which are equivalent to the usual asphalt roads in a city, and most parts of the city can be reached by a small boat.

The architectural style of the city is also different from other places, whether it is a house or a shop, it is very close, and the distance between buildings is not loose, which is also because the whole island is not large and there are many rivers, if you don't do a detailed construction plan to build casually, then it is estimated that there will be no place to build two amusement parks.

There are pros and cons to this style of architecture, but the good thing is that the close-knit streets always give people a sense of safety and gentleness, and people can be seen walking around wherever they go, and the distance between people will be narrowed.

The disadvantage is that the houses are tightly connected and need to be set aside for passages, so there are many small roads and forks in Genoa City, although there are a lot of street signs, but if you are not familiar with this side, it is still very likely to get lost, which is one of the reasons why the first group of tourists is specially assigned a guide.

"We're here!"

Mingsha said, pointing to a six-story building in front of the left side of the river.

The red brick walls, the afternoon sun shines on it, reflecting a gentle soft light that is not dazzling, making people warm all over, obviously this hotel has also considered a lot of aspects when building.

In fact, many of the buildings Watson saw along the way were made of red brick or brownish-red masonry, which was still a popular building material in a sun-drenched maritime city like Genoa.

"Welcome to the Grand Hotel Genoa!"

There were two rows of welcoming waiters standing at the door, and as soon as Watson appeared, he bowed to the middle in respect.

Although they are a little uncomfortable with this welcome model, they are relieved to think that this VIP invitation ticket was originally for everyone in the Barov family, after all, if they don't have this battle, they will feel that they are not valued.

"Wow, it's luxurious. ā€

It's no wonder that Viola exclaimed as soon as he entered the door, and several other people, including Watson, were also surprised, on the outside it seemed that they just felt that the builder was very attentive, and when they got inside, Watson could only say that the builder was not short of money, how could the government be short of money......

The all-marble floor, you can see your own reflection when you drag it up, several load-bearing columns are all gilded, and there is a huge golden chandelier on the roof of the first floor, if the inlaid things on it Watson are not mistaken, it should be gems of various colors!

Their room was on the third floor, because there were four people from Watson's side, so the hotel prepared two rooms, and even then the foreman came to accuse, saying that it was because there were too many guests, and there was no way to allocate more housing, and as compensation, they sent two bottles of very good wine.

"You let Mingsha take it to play first, I want to go to the statue by the sea first, and the soup balls will stay with you, so that I can find you later." ā€

Watson handed the rice balls to Vivien to hold, and he planned to buy a magnifying glass first, and then go to the location of the stone carving, and on the way to Minsha had already told him the exact address.

"Okay, then you remember to come to us when you're done. ā€

Catherine said, holding a hat in her hand.

"Teacher, let's go first. ā€

"Go ahead. ā€

watched Mingsha take Vivian and the others away, saying that she was going to go to the clothing store around her first and buy two clothes from here.

Watson didn't take the boat with the dumplings, but walked in the opposite direction along the road in front of the hotel, and just now he asked the people in the hotel, there is a grocery store on this street, which should sell such things as magnifying glasses.

The location of the store was not far away, and Watson quickly found it.

"Manager, I'm going to buy a magnifying glass, and do you have pen and paper? I'm going to buy one. ā€

It occurred to Watson that he couldn't keep holding a magnifying glass to look at the things on the scroll, so he might as well buy a pen and paper and draw the things on it.

"Of course there is, wait a minute, I'll get it for you. ā€

The manager turned and entered the next room, and Watson waited as he surveyed the grocery store.

It's a grocery store, but there are a lot of rocks on the counter outside, and I don't know where the manager got them.

"This is what I picked up on the beach when I first came to Genoa, there were a lot of such stones on the beach at that time, I looked at it very interesting, so I asked someone to transport it back as an ornament, if you have anything to look at, buy one or two as souvenirs. ā€

The store manager who came out of it saw Watson standing in front of a pile of rocks, so he put things on the counter and said.

"Hehe, I'm not very fond of collecting stones...... This piece looks good, and there are some patterns, and I am quite in love, so I bought it. ā€

Watson wasn't going to buy it at first, as he didn't have a place to put anything on him, and he didn't look good to carry a stone, but after seeing one of the palm-sized stone sculptures, he retracted his words.

The volume of this stone sculpture is about the same as that next to it, but the stone is different, and it is not this that attracts Watson, but the strange lines on its surface, which look like some kind of mark or something.

Picking up the bag and loading his belongings, Watson continued to the edge of the beach where the stone sculpture was.

Stopping a wooden boat on the riverside and going up to tell him where he was going, the boatman told Watson that there was no attraction and that it was better not to go there if it was fine.

"Why, isn't this island claimed to be developed, and why is it left alone?"

Watson asked, testing whether the pen he had bought would work.

"I don't know, but I've heard from a few of my colleagues that something really bad seems to have happened over there......"

The boatman stopped talking about this, and did not continue.
