The first forty-seventh half moon
But unexpectedly, the seabird took away the fries as quickly as possible. Moreover, it only bit a little bit and would never hurt its fingers. The more it feeds, the happier it became. Until he had finished all the fries that Nalan Shiqi had not finished eating at noon, Yun Luo was still having fun.
After the lively, I walked from the path on the side of the observation deck to the bottom of the rock, and listened closer to the sound of the Atlantic Ocean and the stone reef colliding. Although the rock was a little steep, and although Yun Luo was wearing a pair of slippers, this did not affect his interest or courage at all, and Nalan Seqi also climbed neatly.
After a while, Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo reached the bottom layer. The stone reef under their feet was washed by the sea water, but Yunluo tried to walk forward a little bit, and turned around and asked Nalan Shuqi to take a photo of Yunluo. Before he could make a slut, a big wave hit Yunluo's back.
The entire back half of my body was soaked. What was sad was that Nalan Shiqi didn't take a picture. She was really unwilling to accept it. She turned around and had to take a picture in the face of the sea. At worst, the front was wet. But Yun Luo turned around and his head and his face couldn't be wet! Look! Is it true that embracing the Atlantic Ocean?
After coming up, he asked Nalan Shiqi: "Are you worried that Yunluo will be taken away with such a big wave?" He replied calmly: "No! You can't take it away."
This. Yunluo’s understanding is: He is not saying that Yunluo is heavy, but because this area is a bay and is tied to rocks, which adds resistance to the waves. However, this is also related to the weather and wind. It is safe to go out for a trip. There are no isolation guardrails here. If the weather is bad or the wind is strong, don’t go too deep.
Climbing up the observation deck, getting on the car, continuing forward a little further, reaching the fort, and walking for a few minutes. There is a swimming area where you can walk into the sea through a ladder. Nalan Seqi wanted to try the water temperature, but she walked down the steps without Yunluo's dissuasion. Just as a wave hit the steps, his feet were washed by the Atlantic Ocean. What was sadder than Yunluo was that he was wearing sports shoes.
Back in the car, Xiao Zhou said to take Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to another beach, from which you can see the side of hermanus. After about 10 minutes, he came to a public beach area. The sand in this area was white and thin, and it was very comfortable to step on it. Nalan Shiqi took off her shoes and basked in the sun.
The sea water on Yunluo's body had not dried yet, but it once again wet the parts below the calf. It was rare to see such a beautiful beach that was not very popular. Yunluo was so excited that he really wanted to run to the Atlantic Ocean to play for a while.
Hermanus is full of reefs. I didn’t expect that there was such a delicate place nearby. The sunlight shone through the clouds. The town in the distance seemed like a dream and was as beautiful as a fairyland.
This public beach has a bathroom, a shower room, and a washing room outside, and no one takes care of it. The beach is very clean and there is no garbage. Later, along Garden Avenue, I didn’t see a piece of paper in any public places.
I have seen enough and tired of playing, so I should go back to the car and drive back to Hermanus. Many shops in the town have closed, so I can't do it if I want to go to the craft shop. Most of the people living here are European immigrants, and life is very comfortable. Work is not the main or only way for them to survive. The shops open at 10 a.m.
The shop is collected at 4 pm, and even if you open a family hotel, you won’t be at the door 24 hours a day. They will be very confident in handing over the keys to the residents, and there is no such thing as “checking”.
After playing for a while, I was already hungry. Xiao Zhou found an Italian restaurant based on his unique experience and intuition told him that it should be good.
Sure enough, the boss and his wife's enthusiastic reception methods and exaggerated body language are like the sea breeze blowing from the Apennine Peninsula, making people happy and comfortable from the heart.
Nalan Shuqi chose a seat outside. Yunluo took the camera to the inner room to take pictures. She stayed in the place where the pizza was released for a while. The boss asked Yunluo what he needed. Yunluo said that he wanted to take pictures when the pizza came out of the stove.
The cute Italian immediately told the guy to stop and ask Yunluo to take a photo when the next pizza comes out. Haha! The black guy is also very cooperative, put on a very professional poodle color, and even smiles.
The three of them asked for a big pizzadoublechee color. Yunluo forgot the variety. Xiao Zhou did not eat big meat. Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi shared a t-bo-ne (the foreigner's amount was definitely enough for Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo and his daughter to share). How could he not eat desserts when he arrived at an Italian restaurant?
The boss’s wife recommends “chocolatekis color s”. The ribs are just right in heat and the sauce is thick; not to mention the taste of pizza, the ham meat and mushrooms on the cake are full of space, the cake base is thin and crispy, and with the thick cheese, Yun Luo forgets to leave some space for desserts.
When Yunluo saw the three chocolate bars and the thick ice cream underneath, he begged the two of them to try it, but they all refused. So Yunluo had to slowly digest it himself. The so-called "chocolatekis color" is a layer of chocolate covered with chocolate ice cream.
The taste is not sweet at all. The ice cream underneath is vanilla and matches the chocolate flavor. After a little time, Yunluo ate this dessert upside down.
Back to the guesthou color, the sky is already dark, cough! How good would it be if the craft market here could open a night market! A lot of food needs to be digested urgently, but fortunately there are endless contents to read in the residence. There are many exquisite little plays in the room I live in, but I am afraid of being damaged, so I just appreciate it nearby and didn’t even dare to move my fingers.
I finally waited for the food to be almost digested, and when I was about to have a good sleep after taking a shower, I found a big problem. Why are there so many pillows on the bed? I counted the size and size, and there were 6 pairs in total. No wonder I spent a long time cleaning the room here, and just laying it out makes me exhausted.
These colorful pillows are very heavy. They took a little effort to move to one side of the bed. It was obvious that a bed was a king, but they could only enjoy the area of twin. Foreigners were just pretentious.
When arriving at franschhoek, Nalan Shiqi complained that he had not visited any attractions except entering a winery on this day. He asked Yunluo if he would go to the next day? Yunluo said: "It is not only the places where tickets are collected to be called attractions. After walking on the 'Garden Avenue', there are attractions that do not charge tickets all the way."
He was incomprehensible to this sentence, but after yesterday afternoon, he never asked questions about "attractions". Some of the "magic" can only be understood by feeling it personally.
I got up early, packed my luggage, and went out for a walk with Nalan Seqi before 8 o'clock. Guesthou faced the sea and walked across the two-lane road, and it was a cliff.
Just like yesterday, Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo climbed downwards. The first half was fine, very flat, with a recess filled with water in the middle. At first glance, it looked like an infinity swimming pool built on the edge of a cliff. The steeper the further down, Nalan Shuqi actually climbed more smoothly than Yunluo. "It is a blessing for children to be healthy for parents."
This sentence is definitely a famous saying. Even their friends have not had the energy to climb rocks early in the morning. The father and daughter turned "walking" into "rock climbing".
When I returned to the cliff, I saw a green green in front of me. If it was spring, there would be mountains and flowers everywhere and the scenery was even more charming. So, if you had the opportunity to return to this place and Yun Luo thought, that was. Walking through the path, walking back to the roadside, and wandering slowly. Feel the comfort of the combination of blue sky, white clouds, mountains and sea.
The villas here are of different styles and sizes, neatly arranged on both sides of the road, with mountains and seas on the back, but the price is only about y300w-500w. Thinking about the house price, I spent my whole life savings and half my life debt. I can only exchange for a room in the waste gas pile, and the ownership is only 70 years.
"hermanusguesthou" gives people a different feeling from an ordinary family hotel. Yesterday, the one who received Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo was a middle-aged white woman. I thought she was the boss lady, but today the one who received Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo was another white woman. Maybe it was opened by several people in collaboration.
It is also possible that the boss here hires white people to serve the guests directly, while black people are only responsible for planning the room or working in the kitchen. When checking in yesterday, the waiter asked Yunluo to fill out the breakfast list, select staple food and state the meal time. It was exactly 9 o'clock when he returned to the guesthou color.
The waiter delivered the pre-meal fruit salad, croissant bags and tableware according to the content chosen by Yunluo yesterday. When waiting for the staple food, you can go to the bar to choose from other foods, sliced bread, cheese, bacon, yogurt, cereals, juices, and at least 2 or more varieties of each food to choose from.
When Yunluo's omelet was brought to her, I couldn't bear to start. The first time I saw such a thick egg roll, to be precise, this was a big egg dumpling, the filling was wrapped in the middle, not scattered in the egg liquid. The most unique thing was the "artificial tree" above, while Yunluo admired this omelet.
Nalan Shiqi's staple food is also served. The scrambled eggs are placed in a heart-shaped bowl, and the amount of stir-fried mushrooms is also large. But Yunluo thinks that the mushrooms may be cooked in baking, otherwise why is there no drop of oil on the plate?
Today is the longest day of driving. I originally planned to leave at 9:30, but I set off 15 minutes late because of the rich breakfast. I had to give up the seafood market and drive directly to capeagulhas ("b" in the road map).
Many friends are worried that if they come to South Africa to drive by themselves, they will not be used to driving on the left. In fact, when walking on the highway, they will not have much impact. They just walk forward one road and if they want to overtake.
Usually under two conditions, 1. Most roads in the southern region are round and trip double lanes. If there are emergency parking belts on both sides of the road, slightly closer to the vehicle ahead. If someone wants, he will drive inside to give way to you. After overtaking, he will flash double to show his gratitude; 2. On the specified section of the road.
The middle traffic line will indicate that borrowing reverse lanes allows overtaking. Drivers in the south are very obedient. Even if there is no reverse car, they will not borrow on non-permitted road sections.
Although it is not like Kenya, you can see vomiting when you look at horses and cows all the way, the scenery in front of you is also extraordinary on the road here. There are blue sky and white clouds above and mountains and grasslands below. It is relaxing in your heart when you see it. Driving in the southern region is definitely a pleasure. Passing by a small town.
It happened to be held in a local marches, which should be related to labor salaries. When workers' rights and interests are infringed, the trade union will stand up for the workers to negotiate with the employer or even the government. Yunluo has never understood what the trade union in China does. In the past, when he was in a state-owned enterprise, the trade union was responsible for issuing subsidized items during the holidays.
After visiting retired employees, it seems that private enterprises rarely have a "trade union" department; who protects the interests of the hired people in China? As Yun Luo, who was born in the 1970s, grew up in the 1980s, learned in the 1990s, and worked in the 190s, was completely confused in the "10s", and the things they didn't understand were more than the word "trade union".
Thoughts come back. In history, capeagulhas is a famous dangerous sea area, 170 kilometers away from Cape Town, and it takes 2 hours to drive from Hermanus. 1500 years.
When the Portuguese sea boat arrived here, the sailors found that the compass was pointing directly north, so they called the headland formed by this rock group "ca wave dasagulhas", and "agulhas" refers to "compass needles".
In English, it means "capeneedles". The name "needles" comes from the direction of the magnetic north pole and the geographical north pole in this area, so it is determined to be the southernmost end of the African continent.
After passing a gravel road, I saw a long plank road. Xiao Zhou continued to drive the car to the innermost point, risking the tire breakage. There was a bronze medal made of stone, which read "You are now at the southernmost tip of the African continent" in "Portuguese and English".
There is a white letter on the edge of the stairs in front, with "Indian Ocean" written on the left and "Atlantic Ocean" written on the right. Although the intersection of the two oceans is actually an artificially divided geographical concept, there is no obvious dividing between the two oceans here. The basis for the distinction between the two oceans is water temperature.
The water temperature in the Indian Ocean is about 6c higher than that in the Atlantic Ocean. As the ocean current changes, the real dividing line continues to move between the Cape of Good Hope and the Agulas. Only by measuring the water temperature can the exact location of the day be found.
However, the International Organization for Seaway Survey defines capeagulhas as the decomposition point between the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and the local meridian (20° east longitude) is the official boundary between the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.
capeagulhas, probably the only attraction in this quiet town, has no tour group visits, but has attracted many Westerners to come here to listen to the conversation between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. (To be continued...)
