Chapter 265
There were seven people, and the family car couldn't accommodate them, so they took Lin's father's car to the inn, and then the inn's bus driver took the seven people to the city.
After breakfast, they took a taxi to the airport and took a flight to Shanghai to meet Wen Jiunian and his family of three. Because the city they were going to was St. Petersburg, Russia, the only direct flight was from Shanghai, and other places required a transfer, which was equally troublesome.
After the three families had lunch, Lin Nanzhi and Wen Jiunian took them to the theme park and visited the Oriental Pearl Tower. They had to take off the next day, so they went to bed early.
The flight time is ten hours. You can take off at 10:30 in the morning and arrive at the airport at around 8:00 in the afternoon.
They could feel the distinct coldness as soon as they got off the plane. Lin Nanzhi asked them to wait in the lobby and asked Wen Jiunian to stay with them while she took her passport and visa to apply for an entry card. She then went to get her luggage and changed into a down jacket before taking a bus to the next city.
Along the way, the group basically obeyed the orders of Lin Nanzhi and Wen Jiunian, doing whatever they were told to do without saying a word or asking any questions.
Lin Nanzhi originally wanted to book a courtyard instead of a hotel, which would have saved her a lot of money. However, she found that the technology had not caught up yet and she could not book a house, so she had to stay in a hotel.
Lin Nanzhi knows Russian and Wen Jiunian knows English, but it is not as convenient as Russian. Lin Nanzhi was the one who negotiated along the way, and he was just responsible for keeping an eye on the group and making sure they didn't get lost.
Although it was their first time going abroad and they were very excited and curious, they still cooperated and nothing happened until they got to the hotel.
Since we had plenty of time, we slept in the hotel for a day and adjusted to the jet lag.
Fortunately, there was only a five-hour gap between Russia and the Flower-Growing Countries, so it was relatively easy to overcome.
Only after a good rest can I go out to play.
St. Petersburg is the former Soviet city of Leningrad, the city of the February Revolution in the former Soviet Union, and has a long history.
It is the second largest city in Russia, with many places worth visiting. It is also a major tourist city in Russia. The first one is the Winter Palace, which is a landmark building in St. Petersburg. It is located on the banks of the Neva River. Not only is the building very distinctive and magnificent, but the collection is also very rich, and it can be called one of the four largest museums in the world.
There are also Peterhof Palace, Catherine Palace, Cathedral of the Savior on Spilled Blood, St. Petersburg Fortress, etc. There are many places to visit. It is enough to stay for a month.
"Shall we go have breakfast first?"
"That's fine."
The breakfast provided by the hotel is ok. After all, breakfast seems to have no national boundaries.
Although the food is different, the breakfast is delicious. It can be said that there are no national boundaries.
After breakfast, the group headed to the Winter Palace.
January in St. Petersburg was also very cold, with an average temperature of minus eight degrees Celsius, and everyone was wearing thick clothes. When we went outside, we thought there were not many people on the street, but in fact there were still a lot of people.
It was snowing heavily outside and the whole St. Petersburg was covered with snow. The city's sanitation workers had already started snow removal work and the snow on the road had basically been cleared.
"If I had known it was so cold, I wouldn't have come."
"Yes, it is. And it is all white. I can't see anything!"
"There are some nice ones too, just get there."
Fortunately, it was very convenient to take a taxi when going out. We arrived at the Winter Palace, took photos and checked in at the square outside, and then bought tickets to go in. It is worthy of being one of the four largest museums in the world, and everything inside is a fine art.
Because the weather was too cold, we ended up visiting the Winter Palace and Catherine Palace and didn't go out again.
Fortunately, the weather cleared up after a few days. Although it was still a bit cold, it didn't feel so unbearable when the sun was out.
After playing for a few days, the group prepared to go to the real ice and snow kingdom of Murmansk.
Because the winter here is really beautiful. Not only are there various scenic spots, you can also go sledding, and most importantly, you can see the northern lights.
Lin Nanzhi calculated the time well, so the group boarded a plane to Murmansk.
It was night when we first arrived and we couldn't see anything, so we had to wait because the aurora is something you can only encounter by chance and it doesn't appear every day.
This time they did not stay in a hotel, but rented a small yard in a nearby town that was the best place to see the aurora. The yard was not big but it had everything, so it was no problem for the group to live there.
Lin Nanzhi lay on the bed, looking at his phone. There was still no message, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Because of the limited room, Lin Nanmeng and Lin Nanzhi were squeezed into one room. Seeing Lin Nanzhi looking sad, she curiously asked, "Miss, are you unhappy?"
“No.”
"Then why do you look so unhappy?"
"No, go to sleep quickly. I'll take you for a ride on the moose car tomorrow."
"Is that the kind you see on TV where Santa Claus sits down and delivers presents?"
"Yeah, but it can't fly."
Lin Nanmeng: “…” I know.
She pursed her lips and fell asleep with full expectation, while Lin Nanzhi was still staring at his phone.
A few years ago, she downloaded a foreign social networking software and posted a notice on the Russian forum looking for relatives. Her information was prepared very well, but no one has contacted her so far.
I sighed, spent money to put this post at the top, where people can notice it at a glance, and went to sleep.
The next day, we went to a local family to feed reindeer, and then rode a reindeer sleigh through the snow to experience what it felt like to be Santa Claus.
Wen Jiunian, Lin Nanzhi, Lin Nanmeng and Lin Nanting were very excited, but the elders were a little afraid to sit on it. After the four people persuaded them, they finally bravely sat on it and felt the passion and speed.
Fortunately, local residents helped to control the reindeer, so the speed was not too fast and it was not so dangerous.
Lin Nanzhi recorded it all with his mobile phone and took photos of several people. Of course, he also asked local people to help take some photos of the reindeer sled ride.
When you are tired of playing, go to the local sauna to experience the Russian sauna and wash away all the fatigue of the day.
Then we wait for the aurora to appear.
This kind of natural spectacle really requires extremely good luck to be able to see. Lin Nanzhi thought they would not be able to see it, but he never expected that they were so lucky that they actually saw it that night.
In the dark night, snow covered everything, making the night no longer so dark. Lin Nanzhi and others wanted to go out and try their luck, but they saw a layer of green light above the whole village. It was as if God had left a mark on this dark "canvas" with a fluorescent green brush.
The green fluorescent light with a hint of gold and purple is like a little girl who has just learned to dance, dancing an unskilled dance in the dark.
"Is this the Aurora? It's so beautiful!"
"Hurry up and take a picture with your phone."
Upon hearing this, everyone took out their phones, including Lin Nanzhi.
Take photos and record videos in one go!

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival(ˊwˋ*)
