The 1557th Flower Blooms



It seems that Chinese driver's licenses can be rented only after translation and notarization, but Yunluo and An Chuyu did not drive themselves the whole time, so naturally they would not notarize their driver's licenses for renting this thing. Seeing foreigners renting cars with their families, it's so impressive! I'll say it weakly, posing for a photo to guess Yunluo, a foodie and a loser.

Where to go first when arriving on the island? Haha, Yunluo actually went to the supermarket. Look at the goods Yunluo bought from the supermarket. All these, added up, are basically AUD yuan. Wow, look at other people's purchasing power. They bought so many goods in large and small bags to get +. These goods can be bought in domestic supermarkets, to say the least, wow, a big steak worth more than one pound.

Two kilograms of ground beef, milk, juice, vegetables, bread, and mushrooms in the bag. Yunluo and An Chuyu were happily planning to show off their cooking skills at Whitsunday Apartments when an uninvited guest came to the window. Yes, it was this one. Yunluo and An Chuyu discovered it later.

This yellow-crowned parrot is a very common bird on the island. Not only can you see it every day, but if you eat on the balcony, you will definitely see them visiting. The wildlife souvenir shop specializes in selling dolls of this kind of parrot, which are super cute. After all, Yunluo and An Chuyu are not here to cook, so they should come down early to take a walk after dinner.

You can also waste time on the island, right? You can stroll to the swimming pool of the even more handsome and rich hotel next door. It is obviously high-end and atmospheric! It gets dark, but it feels great, right? The tropical scenery is unobstructed. Here is an Australian ice cream. I only eat this double scoop of ice cream along the way. It is super delicious and the price is acceptable.

Haha, as long as it is not converted into RMB, well, the two balls in the picture above seem to be AUD, now look, they are real, they say two balls. In fact, each ball is super big, and the ice cream spoon has to roll several times in the bucket to make a ball. It looks real, the sun is setting. I will take a helicopter to see the heart-shaped reef tomorrow!

I always thought that Yunluo and Anchuyu would never have the chance to hold a koala if they hadn't gone to the Kuranda Rainforest in Cairns and the Brisbane Zoo. Fortunately, Yunluo found a place to hold a koala on this small Hamilton Island. It's Wildlife Park. Yunluo will give you the website address first: Of course, this is the official website of Hamilton Island.

There is a lot of information above, not just about holding a koala. Students in need can use it as a reference. The koala-holding activity here is called "Breakfast with Koalas", a very cute name. It is actually a buffet breakfast. There are two trees in the dining area, with a koala sleeping on each tree. The trees are very short, and tall boys can reach out and touch the koalas.

Of course, this is forbidden, haha. It is also interesting to eat under the koala tree, breakfast is AUD/person, taking photos is AUD/person. Breakfast is just like that, after all, no one goes there just to eat.

Isn't it all for seeing koalas? Yunluo has to say something special about the photographers. I have to give a thumbs up to the photographers. Although it is AUD/person, the requirement is AUD/hold, which means only one person can hold a koala. But no matter how many poses you take, how many people you take photos with, and how many cameras you bring, the staff will patiently help you take photos.

Yunluo and An Chuyu saw a family with four children. The mother held a koala, and the father and the children posed in many ways around the mother and the koala. The staff were very patient and everyone could rest assured to give their own cameras to the staff. The photos taken would guarantee that you would be satisfied. Finally, the staff took a few photos with their own SLRs.

The photos were printed in A-size and given to Yunluo and An Chuyu to take away. There was also a paper photo frame as a souvenir. It must be said that the enthusiastic working attitude of Australians left Yunluo and An Chuyu with too many beautiful memories of this trip. I have been talking about this for so long, so here are some pictures. Don’t mention getting up early just to be closer to the koalas when eating.

Although people taking photos of koalas can move around freely and it does not mean that you cannot take photos if your seats are far away, it is still more fun to eat under a koala tree. This is the koala that Yunluo took at her own seat. The koala was sleeping quietly and only opened its eyes a few times. What a lazy thing. This is a photo taken by the staff for Yunluo and An Chuyu.

Koalas are super cute and quite heavy. You can only touch them but not hug them. Koala's fur is very similar to the wool in snow boots, hahaha. Before we went there, Yunluo was strongly advised not to hug a koala because when they went to Australia, someone wearing a short sleeve got his arm scratched when hugging a koala. They also said that koalas smell bad. I don't know if Yunluo was too lucky.

The one Yunluo was holding had no of the above problems and was as well-behaved as a little kid. Another highlight of the day was the half-day tour to Whitehaven Island, which was booked at the marina pier on the first day when we arrived at Hamilton Island. It was priced at AUD/person. Actually, it was just for the sake of cheapness, because the Aole tour I saw before required AUD/person, so I guess there must be a reason why it was cheap.

Yunluo and An Chuyu's half-day tour group could only play with sand on the beach and could not reach the viewing platform, which was just a taste of White Heaven. This is White Heaven. The sand is indeed very fine, but it is not amazing. Not many people go into the water. Most people lie on the beach to dry salted fish. Yunluo doesn't understand why salted fish can't be dried.

You came all the way here just to sunbathe? The rich people took a seaplane. Of course, Yunluo was posing for photos. There is a website on the plane. If you are interested, you can refer to the content of the website. It is more reliable for losers to go and return by boat. Look, I am not kidding you, there are only a few people on the beach, and there are almost no people in the water.

The main reason may be too much sun, no, it is simply too much sun, it is too much to talk about. It has been more than a month, and Yunluo is still in a black and white body. How to say the half-day tour of White Heaven, it is not good or bad, maybe it is just a bargain, or maybe Yunluo and An Chuyu had too high expectations?

In short, the half-day tour is just about playing in the sand on the beach. There is no chance to reach the viewing platform and naturally no chance to see the panoramic view of Whitehaven. Fortunately, Yunluo and An Chuyu have already seen it on the helicopter. If they are not good at hugging helicopters, they should not save the money and sign up for a one-day tour of Whitehaven. After returning, they decided to take a half-day tour around the island.

The main thing is that we will be leaving tomorrow, and there are many scenery on the island that we have not seen yet. Let me talk about the transportation on the island. It was mentioned above that people on the island mainly travel by golf carts and buggies. According to Yunluo's observation, this buggy is left-hand drive. It is the same as our Chinese habits. It is probably quite easy to drive, but please note that they also drive on the left.

Don't go against the flow just because you're happy, of course. If someone rents a buggy, there must be someone who doesn't. How do those who don't rent go out? They have to rely on public transportation. Public transportation includes the green line, orange line and purple line. The green line is the most common. There are few places to go and the range is small, but there are a lot of cars. There is definitely one every minute. The orange line and the purple line are similar.

Compared to the Green Line, which goes to a farther place, there are relatively fewer buses, with one bus every minute. The best place to watch the sunset on the island mentioned by Yunluo below, Onetree Hill, is not accessible by the Green Line. You need to take the Orange Line or Purple Line. Just be sure to pay attention to the time and don't miss the last bus. It's still quite a long way to walk back.

I just mentioned that this place is called Onetreehill. Haha, this name is so uncultured. There is also a similar name called Mangotreecorner. What kind of names are these? Haha. Although the name is so rustic, the scenery is still good. The picture above was taken at Onetreehill.

The white building in the picture is the hotel where Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed. Wow, foreigners really know how to enjoy themselves. They drank some wine while waiting for the sunset. At the Onetreehill station, the staff had set up a temporary bar early, selling various cocktails, juices, etc. It was not expensive, AUD-/cup. Yunluo and An Chuyu did not try it.

But don't miss it, the sun has set, it's time to go home, this is today's dinner. I bought it at the fish and chip shop, this plate of tiger prawns AUD, even after multiplying the exchange rate is still quite cheap, anyway, you definitely can't buy such fresh prawns in Beijing. Today's weather is good, here's a night view, there are so many stars in the sky, and they are also very bright.

Today is the day that Yunluo has been looking forward to the most in her and An Chuyu's trip, because Yunluo has booked a helicopter ride to overlook the heart-shaped Great Barrier Reef. Since Yunluo and An Chuyu have booked a helicopter ride to and from the ship, the helicopter company will not pick them up until half past pm, so they naturally cannot waste the good time in the morning.

Time is not too much, so it is great to walk around. Here are some pictures. This is the swimming pool of the hotel where the handsome and rich man lives next door to Yunluo and An Chuyu. It is much more high-end and classy than Yunluo and An Chuyu's own hotel. I think Yunluo is very satisfied with his own hotel. I don't know if it's in other people's hotels. I drool and think about wearing clothes that are easy to put on and take off in the morning.

So I put on a big T-shirt outside the bikini and went out. Don't say Yunluo didn't wear pants. In fact, Yunluo didn't wear any pants. Let's talk about today's topic. When booking a helicopter to overlook the heart-shaped Great Barrier Reef, there are actually three options: fly out and return by boat, go out and fly back, and fly out and fly back. Why is there no boat out and return by boat?

Yunluo will talk about this in detail later. Yunluo also combined the advice of predecessors and chose to fly there and return by boat. It was a wise choice. I will talk about it while looking at the pictures. At around 10 o'clock, the employees of the helicopter company drove to the hotel where Yunluo and An Chu met to pick them up. After verifying their identity information, they took Yunluo and An Chu to the airport, which was built on the island.

Later, Yunluo and An Chuyu came here when they toured around the island. These are the three helicopters of this company. It was observed that some of them had two passengers and they were all rich people. Yunluo and An Chuyu were on the nearest dark green plane which could take six passengers. Regarding the seats on the plane, I saw a post about the issue of helicopter seats before coming here.

There is no doubt that the co-pilot seat is the best, but it is not so easy to get it. The five seats at the back are arranged in the shape of the five Olympic rings. Of course, there is one by the window and one in the middle. The seats are completely arranged by the captain. Unfortunately, Yunluo was in the middle seat, but later he found that it was not that bad.

Everything has two sides. Although Yunluo is not close to the window, the captain will stop and circle at each overlooking location, giving tourists on both sides a chance to take photos. So Yunluo has two chances to take photos. And anyway, they are taking photos through the glass, the effect is the same. So, don't be unhappy even if you are arranged in the middle.

The helicopter was quite interesting. Yunluo was quite rich, but the helicopter was too noisy. He had to wear headphones the whole time, so Yunluo and An Chuyu could only communicate by gestures and guessing. Haha, this is the White Heaven Beach from a bird's-eye view. Yunluo and An Chuyu will land here again tomorrow, but I always think that White Heaven is more beautiful from a bird's-eye view.

Now it was time to take the highlight, the reason why everyone spent a lot of money on the helicopter ride, to see the heart-shaped Great Barrier Reef. The final destination of God's heart. Although the captain allowed every passenger to take photos from a good angle, it was not possible to take a wonderful photo in just one or two minutes. Yunluo and An Chuyu could only take a lot of photos, thanks to Yunluo who took photos on the left and then the right.

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

This is the only picture that is barely acceptable, and the memories are left. The helicopter had just landed on a small platform, and a ferry like the one in the picture above came to pick up Yunluo and An Chuyu to go to the big platform. Hahaha, do you think this ferry is scary? Is it worthy of being called a boat? The wind was strong and the waves were big, so we could only hold on to the handrails. In fact, it was about the time when we arrived on the platform.

The buffet started at 10:00. Many foreigners went out to play first. Yunluo's Chinese mentality was playing tricks on her. She always felt that there would be nothing to eat if she was late, so she waited obediently for the meal to start. It turned out to be unnecessary. Of course, you have to see how many Chinese tourists are around. You know. There are black tiger shrimps in the buffet. There is a sign next to the dish. Each person can only take one.

However, the sign was only written in English, so it was time for the Chinese grandpa and grandma to show their skills. So, if you are unlucky enough to encounter too many Chinese people on the platform today, you should eat first. The most important thing is to eat well. After eating, you have to go to the sea. Don’t think that Yunluo was shouting happily before, but he stopped eating soon, and the terrifying memories began.

An Chuyu heard that the wind and waves were strong today, so he advised Yunluo not to snorkel. It would be fine to just play on the shore for a while, but Yunluo couldn't listen to his advice. She made up her mind and gritted her teeth. Since she was already here, how could she not go down? She picked and chose a diving suit (it seemed a little big). After posing for photos, she was ready to go into the water. These are beautiful fins. Yunluo chose the pink one.

In fact, I don't know how to use it. I'd rather not use it. I can't exert any power, especially when the wind and waves are strong. It's all tears. Then I talked about the painful memories. Yunluo dragged his fins and took the diving tube. He sat on the chair and put them on. At this time, the sea water just touched Yunluo's feet. When Yunluo finally put on the fins, the sea water had reached Yunluo's knees. Wow.

The wind and waves were huge, and Yunluo staggered as he went into the sea. The wind and waves were so strong that Yunluo could not control his body at all, and he could only hold on to the safety rope tightly. As shown in the picture above, this is a photo of Yunluo and An Chuyu coming back from snorkeling. The hair on Yunluo's head was not wet at all, because Yunluo did not lower his head at all. Wow. Because it was too scary.

Although Yunluo is only a novice diver, this is definitely not Yunluo's first time snorkeling. He has been diving in Hainan since he was 18 years old, and he also went diving in Sabah before the New Year. But the wind and waves on this sea surface are scary. In fact, the crew advised Yunluo and An Chuyu not to go into the water because of the strong wind and waves, and An Chuyu also dissuaded Yunluo.

Why didn't Yunluo listen to the advice? Yunluo, still frightened, could only obediently participate in other activities on the platform. The one above is a glass cabin. It does not leave the platform. It is a part of the platform. Follow the stairs to the underwater. It is said that there are timed feeding ports around it, so there will be large schools of fish gathering here all year round.

In fact, there is another way to see underwater fish, called a glass-bottom boat. It is driven by the captain and leaves the platform for about minutes. There will be someone to explain the fish and corals you see, but Yunluo was scared by snorkeling and the glass-bottom boat was very stuffy, so he only had painful memories. The time on the platform always passed very quickly, and Yunluo didn't have time to sunbathe for a while.

The time has come. At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the ship that Yunluo and An Chuyu were taking back came to pick them up. Look, this is the ship that Yunluo and An Chuyu were taking back. After much deliberation, Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to sit outside the cabin on the second floor. They selfishly thought that it would be good to get some fresh air. In fact, this decision could be regarded as one of the wisest decisions Yunluo made in the entire trip.

If there wasn't a storm when you went, you could have chosen to sit outside. I'm not kidding you, the two-hour sailing and the violent shaking of the ship (mainly because the wind and waves were too strong that day) made many people dizzy and prone to vomiting. An Chuyu went in and out of the cabin and described it to Yunluo as being extremely cold.

It was definitely not excessive, the children were wrapped in blankets and huddled together) and it was particularly smelly, this sealed cabin, plus the smell of food and vomit. People around me made vomiting sounds from time to time, and I was scared just thinking about Yunluo. Fortunately, Yunluo was sitting outside the cabin, Amitabha. This is a photo of Yunluo and An Chuyu just after they got on the boat and chose their seats.

It wasn't so relaxing after a while. Fortunately, An Chuyu hugged Yunluo and made Yunluo fall asleep. Otherwise, Yunluo's stomach would have been churning and she would have felt miserable. Then, as mentioned above, this is why there is no boat going there or returning there, and it is not recommended that you go there or fly back. Just sitting on the boat and being bumpy, you won't feel like having fun all day. (~^~)
