In fact, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are already very grateful to be able to go to Antarctica. They really don't have these thoughts. Of course, not everyone is included. In fact, every time Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo land on the ship, the exploration experts will strictly control it. Nalan Shiqi respects everyone who respects nature.
This travel note is divided into days, with a lot of photos, of course, text and some introductions will be interspersed. Because there are too many photos, they have not been processed, and some of them were taken with mobile phones, so they are not very high-definition.
Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are actually very stupid. They arrived at the hotel with their heavy luggage only to find that Yunluo's colleagues from Beijing had not arrived yet. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had nothing to do until noon when they found it was time for lunch. There are two restaurants in the hotel, a buffet restaurant with a Western restaurant costing 188 or 288 yuan per person, and a Chinese restaurant with a la carte service.
The average cost of a meal is 150-200 yuan per person. Nalan Shiqi thought that it would be better for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to eat in a restaurant at the airport instead of wasting money on such a place. So they asked the airport bus to take Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo back to the airport. They first found a luggage storage place to store their luggage. The luggage for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo cost 30 yuan each for 24 hours, which was not expensive. Then they went to have lunch.
Starting at 3 pm, group members from all directions began to arrive one after another. This signed layout, with four penguins walking forward with their heads held high, had its prototype on the streets of Ushuaia. There was this graffiti on a wall, which was beautiful.
There were about 60 people at the dinner here, which was very lively, and they also got to know their teammates before leaving. Here Nalan Shiqi can talk about the division of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. Because the whole team is too large, the company is divided into small teams.
They were named: Seal Team, Seagull Team, Penguin Team, Petrel Team, Albatross Team and Killer Whale Team. Each team has 25-30 people, so that everyone can have a sense of organization. Nalan Shiqi belongs to the Seal Team.
It was already past 12 o'clock in the evening, which meant it was already the 30th. Because Yun Luo's work was still being handed over, the other teammates had already entered the customs.
Nalan Shiqi was waiting outside for him to go in together. The surroundings were all numb, and the airport was particularly quiet. Nalan Shiqi's sleepiness had already found Nalan Shiqi, sitting on a large chair. When Nalan Shiqi was about to fall asleep, he was surrounded by a group of energetic people.
Later, I jogged and took the train to the boarding gate and was almost boarding. At that time, I had no intention of taking pictures. At first, these pictures were not clear because they were all taken with a mobile phone.
The flight to Doha took 9 hours and 25 minutes. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo took Qatar Airways, and the plane was a bit older than that of the Emirates.
Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo took Qatar Airways, which had less comfortable seats than Emirates Airlines, because it was probably not the newest aircraft, but the food on the plane was OK. Nalan Shiqi had booked Asian vegetarian meals through the travel agency because she was a vegetarian, so vegetarian meals were provided every time.
Doha Airport is quite convenient for transit. There is not much shopping space at the airport. Although Doha is very rich, it is far inferior to Dubai for shopping. However, many people have bought what they want because the prices are indeed more affordable.
We stopped in Sao Paulo for more than an hour. It should be that the long-distance flight also needs to rest and refuel. If the final destination is not Sao Paulo, you don't need to get off the plane. You can move freely on the plane and manage your bags. There are cleaning staff to clean up the garbage. Because it only takes more than 2 hours from Sao Paulo to Buenos Aires.
After sleeping for more than ten hours, I felt that the jet lag was almost reversed. Nalan Shiqi strongly suggested that if you can fall asleep, don't play games or watch movies. Get enough sleep to lay a good foundation for the next trip, yeah!
I'm sorry that I don't have any good photos from the first two days of my trip, as they were all taken with my phone. And Nalan Shiqi doesn't like taking photos of dishes while eating.
So there was basically no restaurant dining. Nalan Shiqi just wanted to provide everyone with an overall itinerary and some beautiful photos of Antarctica. There was no such thing as showing off the dishes. I don't have that habit.
Today, they basically spent the whole day on the plane, because there was an 11-hour time difference. So although Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo flew for 30 hours including the transfer time, it was still 11:30 when they arrived at the local place. During this day and more, Nalan Shiqi basically spent it sleeping and eating.
Nalan Shiqi only wanted to do one thing on the plane, and that was to scream! Yunluo was on a long-distance flight alone. Every time he came back, he would tell Nalan Shiqi that he didn't sleep well on the plane. Nalan Shiqi always taught him not to think about watching movies on the plane, and to squint even if he couldn't sleep.
Because you can't lie flat on the plane to get the most relaxed rest for your body, you must rest your mind, otherwise how can you play or work after getting off the plane! So as long as Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were on the journey, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were basically sleeping. He was more relaxed with Nalan Shiqi than he was with himself.
So Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo both slept well. Of course, he was definitely not as good as Nalan Shiqi, because Nalan Shiqi always slept on his legs, causing his thighs to always go numb.
Nalan Shiqi and many of Yunluo's teammates got off the plane and recalled their feelings on the plane. They all felt the same. They were woken up to eat while sleeping, and felt that the next meal had come just after they fell asleep o(n_n)o haha~
Nalan Shiqi couldn't remember how many meals she had in total, but she definitely had one every five hours. She ordered vegetarian meals, and they were all different. She was satisfied with them regardless of the taste. She was very excited during the trip, so she ate a little at every meal. Looking back, this thick noodle was the most delicious.
The transit area at Doha Airport feels very crowded, and the counters seem to be submerged in the crowd. Although it is early in the morning, there are still many people at the airport. After all, this is also one of the international hubs. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo transited at Gate 40, and they didn't have to wait much.
It was only enough for me to wash up, go to the bathroom, and buy some small things. After all, I had just started shopping and didn't have any money. It would be inconvenient to carry things if I bought them, so everyone basically waited nearby for the flight.
Nalan Shiqi wore a linen robe dress with wide stripes that day. When she arrived at Doha Airport, she found that many people would look at her. Later, Nalan Shiqi felt that she was wearing clothes that followed the local customs. Nalan Shiqi has a special feeling for Muslim countries.
It's not that he likes or hates them, it's just curiosity. That curiosity grows day by day as Nalan Shiqi reads books about Muslims. Nalan Shiqi has not traveled to a Muslim country alone, especially in the Middle East. Nalan Shiqi thinks that Nalan Shiqi will visit these places in the future to discover and experience the places that he is curious about one by one.
Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were about to board the plane to fly to the South American city with good air. Before leaving, Nalan Shiqi had not looked up any travel guide about Argentina.
All my feelings about this country come from the geography textbooks in junior high and high school, as well as the movie "Don't Cry for Nalan Shiqi, Argentina". Nalan Shiqi has always liked the name Buenos Aires and thinks it sounds very smooth.
Finally arrived at Buenos Aires International Airport, the customs clearance was relatively smooth. Finally, there was a large cardboard box that the customs asked what it was.
They answered that it was a lot of clothes, because Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were going to Antarctica. They were about to open the boxes to check, because they were packed with tape, but when they heard that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were going to Antarctica, they stopped. They asked how many of you were going to Antarctica? 170 people!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
They said, "Great!" and wished Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo a smooth journey. So, Nalan Shiqi thought, even though they were so close to Antarctica, they were still very serious about going to Antarctica. Suddenly, she felt a sense of pride.
Speaking of pride, I suddenly remembered that last year a mother and son went to Antarctica and came back and said that before they went there, they felt like warriors and wondered whether they could come back after going there. They were all thinking about this question.
I don’t know why, Nalan Shiqi has never thought about this. Nalan Shiqi was just excited, without any fear at all. Even when she was seasick and lying in bed while crossing the devilish westerly belt of the Drake Passage, she didn’t feel the slightest fear.
After Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived at Buenos Airways and cleared customs, they met the local tour guides who were all descendants of Chinese. At this time, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo followed their own teams. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo got on the bus with the Navy SEAL team and went to the restaurant for dinner. After clearing customs, it was already past nine o'clock.
For Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, who are Chinese, having dinner at this time is like having a midnight snack, but walking on the streets of Buyi, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo found that there were many people on the street, some even dressed up and walking in groups.
The tour guide said that dinner in Argentina usually starts at 10 o'clock in the evening, and on weekends, many people dress up nicely when they go out on a date after a week's work.
Their dinner was served very late, and the restaurant did not open at 7 or 8 pm, because it was still early. So I suddenly felt that every country has its own customs. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo found it incredible, and they also found it incredible to hear that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had dinner at 6 or 7 o'clock.
The place where Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had dinner was said to be the most expensive and high-end place in Buyi. It was a Chinese restaurant with a more upscale Western restaurant next to it.
Later, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo also ate here. I really like this building. There is a river next to it. It used to be a dock. These red brick houses were warehouses. Later, the dock was abandoned. These warehouses were bought by someone and gradually turned into a high-end restaurant with flavor. (To be continued...)
