Chapter 1046: First Broken Heart



I saw a Thai puppet hanging on the wall, the same as the one Freda gave Yunluo, but in a different color. The boss said he liked Thailand very much, and pointed to a Buddha statue in a prominent position and said that it was also brought back from Thailand.

When they returned to the room, Xiao Zhou had already arrived and was helping Nalan Shiqi with the luggage. Nalan Shiqi was so careless that she broke a plate in the kitchen in a panic. Yunluo had to go to the boss again to explain the situation and said that she was willing to compensate. The boss said to go to the room first to see what kind of plate it was. Yunluo picked up the broken pieces into three pieces from the trash can.

The British gentleman smiled and said that the plate was not expensive and there was no need to compensate. Yunluo's heart was moved. After waving goodbye to Lao Ying excitedly, the car drove out of this lovely little winery and headed towards Hermanus.

The rain gradually stopped, and I felt so happy that I wanted to sing. The scenery on both sides of the road made Yunluo's nerves rise from joy to excitement. From the winding mountains to the endless grasslands, I drove for dozens of kilometers without seeing a few cars. It was like I was galloping in a scenery that belonged to me alone.

Hermanus is a coastal town in the Western Cape Province, about 1.5 hours' drive from Franschhoek. It covers an area of ​​only 17.56km2 and has a population of only about 10,500. However, this exquisite town is the first choice for watching the two largest marine animals, whales and sharks. The "laughing whale", also known as the "laughing whale", is one of the most gentle animals in the ocean. This huge mammal reproduces every 2-3 years, with a gestation period of 9-10 months, and the baby whale is 5-6 meters long when it is born.

Adult whales can reach up to 15 to 17 meters in length and weigh up to 65 tons. During the migration from north to south, they lose half their weight without eating. Some larger southern right whales can live for more than 80 years. Unlike other baleen whales, this whale has no throat groove and dorsal fin, and its back is black and smooth.

There are irregular white patches on the abdomen, the lower jaw is highly curved, and the black baleen hangs down to 2.5 meters. Because they move slowly and often approach land, they are recognized by whalers as whales that can be caught. From June to November every year, southern right whales migrate from the north to the southern waters.

Standing on the cliffs by the Hermanus sea, you can admire this mysterious behemoth. Every September or October, a four-day whale festival is held here. During that period, not only is it difficult to find a place to stay in this quiet town, but all roads, large and small, will be severely congested.

Compared to whales, the great white shark is not really a big creature. It is generally 6 meters long and weighs 3,200 kilograms. Its tail is crescent-shaped, and its teeth are large and serrated, triangular, and 10 centimeters long. The great white shark is a large aggressive shark. It is the largest carnivorous fish, also known as the man-eating shark and the white death shark. However.

Now there are many adventurers who are willing to sacrifice their lives to reveal the unknown side of great white sharks. In their eyes, great white sharks are highly intelligent and curious. Most importantly, they are willing to interact with people. When you treat them kindly, they will also treat you kindly.

But whether sharks are dangerous animals or not, killing and harming them for profit should not exist on the earth. In the off-peak season, you can make a reservation one day in advance locally, or you can make a reservation by email in advance, and depart from Kleinbaai Harbour by boat at around 9 am.

Drive 8km on the sea. Arrive at Dyerisland, where the favorite food of great white sharks is seals. Since you are driving on the ocean, the bumps are large and it is easy to get seasick. After arriving at Dyerisland, put on a diving suit, walk into a large iron cage, and the staff will lower you into the sea.

The head is exposed outside. When the shark is attracted by the staff, the spectators hold their breath and dive into the sea, and then they can look the great white shark face to face at close range.

It is not the whale watching season, and Yunluo has no plans to go out to sea to see sharks. He just wants to feel the quietness and comfort of this small town.

Yunluo was shocked by the layout in front of her. This place was not only beautiful, but also gorgeous. At first glance, it didn't feel like a "yle" at all. It was simply the "dream house" of all girls.

The check-in time is 2pm. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived early and the room was still being cleaned. While Yunluo was busy admiring the small building, the host brought tea and coffee. The utensils were so exquisite. With Nalan Shiqi's experience of getting into trouble in the morning, Yunluo hurriedly stood up to pour him tea.

Even though this tea set is not an antique, it doesn't look cheap. Most importantly, this tea set is so exquisite that Yun Luo can't bear to see it get even a little damaged.

There are small biscuits on the cabinet next to the restaurant for you to eat. Nalan Shiqi was busy eating, and Xiao Zhou was busy enjoying the free Wi-Fi chamber (R560 per night). It was downstairs, and there was no view, but there was a small living room. The other room was on the second floor, the Queen's Chamber, and the King's Chamber (R720 per night) was opposite. There were two small doors outside the two rooms. When they were closed, the two rooms were independent areas, so Yunluo gave up the far-sighted view.

We moved to the King's Chamber. Although it didn't have a balcony, it had a very cute little courtyard, which was decorated in a very romantic way. (The above room rates are for single occupancy, including breakfast)

The reason why they chose to have lunch at "New Harbour" was because Xiao Zhou said there was a seafood supermarket there, which was itself a restaurant, frequented by local dock workers, and the food was fresh and cheap. Because it was past lunch time, there was no one in the restaurant, so Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi each ordered a "hake" set meal.

Xiao Zhou ordered a large set meal with extra squid, but Yun Luo took a lot of it later. While waiting for the meal, he looked around the seafood place next door. There were quite a lot of things, and the prices were cheap. They even sold the ingredients. Unfortunately, there was no kitchen where I was staying today, so I thought I would buy some tomorrow morning.

Xiao Zhou's recommendation was indeed correct. The silver cod was big, white and tender, and there was nothing to fault. A piece of fish about 15cm long cost only R26 (less than Y20). Because it was fast food, there was no need to tip.

This dock area has a reserved spot for whale watching. Outside the office is a model of a whale with white parasites specially made on it. Xiao Zhou said that this is what whales living in the ocean look like, with white parasites on their heads. It looks a bit disgusting, which completely subverts the cute image of the beluga whale that Yunlu saw in the oceanarium.

After leaving the dock, Yunluo began to formally get to know this town that Yunluo had longed for. There was a long plank road on the scenic line along the sea. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi got off at the top of the plank road, and Xiao Zhou drove to the end to wait for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. "If it is the peak season for whale watching, this plank road must be full of people?"

Yunluo was walking and thinking, although there was no spectacular sight of whales tumbling in front of him, it was really great to be able to feel comfortable on the deserted plank road.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After walking the plank road, Xiao Zhou drove Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to a viewing platform not far ahead. There were still few people. Only a cute creature was hiding on the side and looking around. Yunluo approached to take a photo of it, but it turned away and looked at the sea view. There are many names for this cute creature on the Internet.

"Rock rabbit", "rock rat", and also "mole". After coming back, Yunluo, who was most afraid of rats, endured the nausea and looked up most of the rodents. It was basically confirmed that it was called "South African rock rat" and it was distributed in southwestern Africa, from southern Angola through Namibia to northwestern South Africa.

It is similar in size to ground squirrels and has similar habits to rock hyraxes. It likes to bask in the sun on rocks. It lives in groups, with one member on guard duty (it turns out that this one was just out on guard duty). Although there is only one species of rock rat in the family Rock Mice, there are still big differences in the appearance of rock rats in different regions. Yunluo was really scared when he saw the photo of the "Laos rock rat".

In addition to encountering cute animals, you can also learn from the actor Leung here, but you don’t feed pigeons, but seabirds. Take out a small piece of French fries and sit there quietly. Soon, flocks of seabirds will surround you. At first, I was a little scared to hold the French fries in my hands. (To be continued...)
