Chapter 411: The Crater Hotel

"Because this is the equipment left by the British army in World War II, it is now converted into an off-road vehicle, specializing in running this kind of mountain road, regardless of their age, the performance is still very good, even better than some modern cars." The Dutchman pointed to the convoy behind him.

"What's wrong with this car? Can it still be fixed? Hong Tao continued to ask.

"It seems that there is a problem with the water tank, I guess they use the river water here, there is too much sediment in it, if they can find some clean water to flush it out, it should be fine." Dutch said as she looked at Hong Tao.

"I'm X, what do you see me doing, if you want water, just say it, I'm not a miser, and I'm reluctant to break the water at all? Hurry up and give them to them, and let them fix their way! "O man of many thieves, he knew that he was playing with the buckets of drinking water in the convoy as soon as he saw the look of the Dutch pee, but he could not ask for it, because it was for the guests.

More than ten minutes later, Hong Tao's impression of urinating in the Netherlands added another item: can repair cars! He was right, when the two buckets of water were poured down, the classic car started smoothly, and then continued to climb to the top of the mountain with a puff of black smoke.

There were no passengers in the car, the car was full of luggage, and the black driver who drove the car said a lot of words to Hong Tao, then handed Hong Tao a small wooden stick, patted his chest and drove away.

"What the hell? Two buckets of water for a twig? I didn't say I wanted to exchange it with him, and the water was given to him! Hong Tao plans to throw away the broken branch less than half a meter long, this black man is too Nima thief, and he doesn't even plan to carry personal favors, so he will use such a broken branch to exchange it for equal value! Hong Tao is very angry!

"Don't throw it! Let's go, get in the car first! Holland urinated on Hong Tao's arm, snatched the branch, and then glanced worriedly at the broken car that had just turned this corner.

"Did we run into a gang? Warlord? Hong Tao startled the Dutchman's action and his cautious expression, and he thought he understood something.

"There are no warlords here. That driver is a Maasai and this stick is his token, and if he sees that you threw away his token, then you will become his enemy! This is the highest insult, the Maasai live by herding cattle, this little stick is what they use to drive cattle, and if he gives it to you, it means giving you all he has, and you keep it until it reaches their village. You still have to return it to him, don't keep it, or I'll keep it for you? Holland gave Hong Tao another lesson in customs, saying that he was asking Hong Tao's permission, but the little stick had already been put into the holster.

"Can I trade this stick for some prey with them? For example, let them help us track down elephants, rhinos, etc. Aren't they good at that? Hong Tao immediately understood, this thing is a personal favor. No need for nothing. Anyway, it is still a question whether I will be able to come to Africa in my lifetime.

"This is an invitation, please visit their village, the Maasai never owe favors, but whether they will help you hunt or not depends on your ability, their character is very troublesome. It's not just money or things that you can say, but I think you can try your Chinese wine, and the Maasai tribes also make milk wine, and I guess they will like your gift. Holland smirked and pointed to the back of the carriage.

"What a big bath!"

Four o'clock in the afternoon. The convoy finally climbed to the top of the crater, from which the whole crater looked like a large bathtub, surrounded by a circle of mountains of very neat height, and the farthest point only left a shadow on the horizon, and that distance was the diameter of the crater: 18 kilometers.

Unlike the East African savannahs outside, the craters are mostly green, blue, and white in color. Green is the vibrant grass, blue is dotted with lakes, and white is ......

"Yeron, what's that white one?" Hong Tao didn't know what the white stuff in the crater was, so he could only ask shamelessly.

"It's a salt lake, it's not the rainy season, and the water has evaporated."

"No wonder there are so many animals here, green grass, clear water, salt lakes, all the food and drink and even minerals, if I were an animal, I wouldn't leave." Hong Tao only then understood why this place has become an animal paradise, the environment is simply too good, if the East African grassland is a five-star hotel for animals, then this is like a sailing hotel in human society, seven-star.

"Actually, not all animals are here, you can pay attention to the lack of at least one animal here, and when you find out, I will tell you why this animal is missing." Holland again and Hong Tao took candy.

"Love to say it or not, Lao Tzu didn't have time to observe that thing, besides, by the way, you say that there is one less kind of mouse, let me find it somewhere,!" Hong Tao belongs to the donkey, the more you are angry, the more rebellious he is.

The most beautiful place on the top of the hill is not the natural scenery, but a small group of buildings. They are at the end of the dirt road at the top of the mountain, and from a distance they look like a group of large mushrooms growing on the mountain, and this is the hotel that Hong Tao and his family will be staying at tonight, and the most famous hotel in East Africa: the Ngorongoro Reserve Hotel.

The hotel is built on the slopes of the mountain, and all the building materials used are locally sourced. The walls are made of brown volcanic ash, and the roof is made of the trunks of acacia trees and the leaves of palm trees.

Of course, the interior of the hotel is still very modern and luxurious, and all the modern facilities that should be found in the big hotel in the world are basically here, and there are more local decorations that are not found in other places. Judging from the wood carvings and the red and purple silk tapestries, Hong Tao feels that there is a bit of a mix of African and Arabic styles.

According to the guide, this hotel is dedicated to foreigners, the price is very high, and the room is difficult to book, basically about half a year in advance. As for Hong Tao, why they have a room to live in when they arrive, this is not because the locals like the Chinese so much, nor because there are customers checking out, not because Hong Tao is too handsome, but Nathan company, as a large hunting company in East Africa, has a contract with this hotel all year round, and their customers generally live in this hotel, in this regard, the first time to travel to a strange place, safari is good, it is still necessary to find an internationally well-known intermediary company.

This hotel is not only unique on the outside, but also on the inside. The room where Boss Liu lives is decorated with black wood carvings, and there is no carpet on the floor, which looks so primitive and African.

The fat boss's room is decently decorated, but the big balcony is really enviable, you open the curtains to the endless crater in the prairie, and then walk a few steps out, stand on the balcony, the feet are actually suspended, which means that you are standing in the middle of the crater.

Hong Tao's room is the most fun, the whole room is round, the roof is like a grass roof, and the floor is not a carpet, but a kind of grass curtain, which is quite textured and not chuckling. As for the balcony, Hong Tao's room does not have a balcony, but there is an open-air roof to go up. However, this roof looks like it is hanging enough, half of the house is outside the top of the mountain, and people who are slightly afraid of heights will never dare to live in this house.

After cleaning up the room, the group came to the restaurant on the second floor to prepare to feed the stomach first, this day even the plane and the car rushed away, at noon everyone just ate some convenience food, not even a serious meal. Especially the fat boss is more seriously airsick, his stomach is empty, when the team just arrived at the top of the mountain, he began to ask what time to eat dinner, basically ignoring the beautiful scenery in the crater, it seems that he is really hungry.

Because it is a hotel specializing in the business of European and American tourists, so the dinner is a more authentic Western food, as for how authentic Western food is, Hong Tao does not know how to say, the only time he has eaten in his previous life and this life is in Canada, in his impression, when the food is not served together, but the dish is distributed in batches Even if it is very authentic, as for the first dish, which is the main dish, he is not clear, all the tasks of ordering are done by the Dutch, he just translated the translation menu for Boss Liu and Fat Boss.
