There are three Pride of Africa trains with multiple routes to choose from, and even the room types include royal suite, deluxe suite and ordinary suite.
Xia Yu, a filial son, naturally chose the most expensive royal suite for his parents. He also wanted to get one for himself. However, the Pride of Africa was very well-known in the West and basically required reservations. The suite for his parents was only available because they couldn't come, so there was no extra one.
Forget it, an ordinary luxury suite is also good. Being able to enjoy five-star service on a moving train, Xia Yu is full of anticipation for the upcoming journey.
This time they chose the 9-day annual Namibia Discovery Tour, which takes them from the highland grasslands through the desert to the Atlantic coast, allowing them to enjoy the most extreme and varied scenery.
Of course, there is also the more expensive 15-day Century Tour, which covers thousands of kilometers across most of the African continent. Xia Yu wanted to experience it, but unfortunately he didn't have enough time, and he had to set aside a few days to take care of his business.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Pride of Africa..."
Before the start, Mr. Rohan Voss began his speech. Xia Yu could understand it and Lao Xia could follow it, but Lin Shuqin was confused and had no idea what the old white man was saying. However, she made sure to applaud along in the end.
After delivering the welcome speech, everyone got on the bus on time. Rohan Voss shook hands with every passenger and personally saw everyone off. It was a full sense of ceremony, and Xia Yu and his family of three also found it very fresh.
After getting in the car and arriving at his room, Xia Yu looked around and found that it was fifteen square meters.
Although small, it has everything you need, including independent air conditioning, sofa, refrigerator, king-size bed, floor heating, large openable viewing windows and private bathroom. You can even lie in the bathtub and enjoy the ever-changing scenery outside the window.
As for Lao Xia and his friends’ royal suite, it was even more impressive. The room was nearly 20 square meters in size, and the decoration was even more luxurious and elegant. Xia Yu felt a little jealous just looking at it.
"Old Xia, please take a picture of me here, and this side as well."
Since getting on the train, Lin Shuqin seemed to have become twenty years younger, and asked her husband to take pictures of her from various angles.
He said he didn't want to come, but his attitude changed so quickly, it's too real!
Xia Yu complained in his heart and helped them close the door.
Take your time filming, and come back in nine days to see if your phone storage is enough.
“Beep~~”
The whistle sounded, white mist billowed out of the steam locomotive, and the train slowly drove out of the train station and accelerated towards the vast grassland in the distance.
Sitting on the sofa chair, Xia Yu turned on the camera and took a picture of the scenery outside the car window.
Suddenly, a few black and white images appeared in the camera lens. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a group of running zebras.
Xia Yu suddenly became interested, opened the car window and started whistling. When the King of the Grassland Buff was activated, the herd of zebras immediately came over after hearing his whistle.
Compared with their fellow zoo dwellers, these zebras living in the wild appear to be more intelligent. In the camera, they spread their four hooves and ran happily after the train.
Passengers in other carriages also noticed this group of elves and took out their mobile phones and cameras to take pictures and record their elegant figures.
This group of zebras was just the beginning. The deeper the train went into the grassland, the more wild animals appeared in the passengers' sight.
Seeing the animal world with your own eyes is always more profound than watching it through a screen, and compared to programs that have been filmed long ago, you never know what you will see in the next second.
This alone made Xia Yu feel that the price was worth it, not to mention that he also had the Prairie King Buff.
If he hadn't had to consider the other passengers, he would have wanted to jump out of the window, mount his horse and gallop away.
Not to mention that wild zebras are naturally violent, even lions and hippos can be ridden by Xia Yu after he activates the buff.
A few hours passed by and soon it was time for lunch. The food provided by Pride of Africa was Western style and tasted okay.
The snacks and fruits for afternoon tea are unlimited, which is great. Some people say that when traveling to Southeast Asia, you can eat so much fruit that you vomit, and the same is true in Africa.
On a quiet afternoon, Xia Yu sat on the open observation deck at the end of the carriage, eating fruit and daydreaming.
The theme of Pride of Africa is African exploration and 19th century classics. The locomotive is a steam locomotive, and the carriages were collected one by one by Mr. Voss from all over the world. Many of them have a history of more than 150 years.
Sitting in such a carriage makes one feel confused in time and space. In order to maintain this unique feeling, everyone tacitly agrees not to use electronic devices outside their rooms.
This was great, and what was even better was that everyone came to the dining car in formal attire for dinner.
Compared with the lazy and casual atmosphere at noon, the dining car at night was solemn and elegant. The conductor rang the dinner bell and passengers in suits and ties filed in.
Old Xia and Lin Shuqin were not prepared, but fortunately Xia Yu was thoughtful and prepared suits and dresses for his parents in advance.
The clothes fit the two of them well, but they felt a little uncomfortable psychologically. After all, it was the first time they had worn them at their age.
"It's the first time for a grown-up girl to get into a bridal sedan. Mom and Dad, don't you think this dress is beautiful?"
"It's pretty, but no one wears it like that where we are!"
Wearing a violet dress, Lin Shuqin looked like a noble lady at the moment.
"I didn't ask you to wear this every day. If you come to the Magic City next time, I'll have to dress nicely."
Xia Yu explained that he was cultivating his parents' dressing and living habits.
He is making continuous progress, and his parents have to keep up. Real life is not a novel. Even if you don't sacrifice your parents, you can make them completely invisible and they won't show up until the end.
"You're such a sweet-talker, how come you haven't gotten a girlfriend yet?"
Lin Shuqin enjoyed her son's flattery, but she would not miss the opportunity to expose his shortcomings. Parents and children always love and hate each other.
"I'm in the rising stage of my career, don't worry, Mom. I have a long shelf life. I won't have to worry about no one wanting me when I become a wealthy bachelor."
Xia Yutui said that after having the system, his three views have changed to some extent, his requirements have become higher, and his vision has become more picky.
Many people are not picky about food because there is nothing to choose from, not because they don’t want to be picky. Xia Yu already has the capital to choose, but he is still waiting and watching.
"Just blow it!"
Lin Shuqin rolled her eyes at her son but didn't urge him any further.
To be honest, Xia Yu is only 20 years old and can make so much money now, so there is no need to urge him to get married. Parents who urge their children to get married are mostly afraid of being stuck with the goods, and having grandchildren is secondary.
After packing up, the family of three went to the dining car to enjoy dinner.
As night falls on the grassland, the lights on the dining car come on, and the melodious and soothing music is accompanied by the sound of knives and forks colliding on porcelain plates.
The grassland predators outside the train also started their meal, but the theme of their dinner was only blood and killing.
