Chapter 62: Hey! Maldives
Many people will have such a name in their life and the must-go destinations they must go to.
Maldives.
It satisfies all the imaginations of heaven.
Sea levels are rising due to the threat of the greenhouse effect, and it has been predicted that this beautiful island nation will be submerged in the sea in another 70 years.
Located in South Asia, the Maldives consists of 26 natural atolls and 1,192 islands, of which only 199 are inhabited, and is 675 kilometers away from Sri Lanka in the northeast.
Bidding farewell to the old Boris family, after more than ten hours by plane, Han Xuan and his family arrived at the airport island.
Malé, the capital of the Maldives, is so small that it can't even fit the airport, so an airport has been built on the nearby island and reef, named Airport Island.
"Let's find a place to stay for the night, it's getting dark."
Han Qianshan lay down next to the chair, he was still in high spirits when he was in Paris, and he planned to go to Pisces Island after getting off the plane, but now he is so tired that he can't lift his legs.
"Well, let's rest first, where to go? Male? Han Xuan asked, sitting cross-legged on the cart, wearing only a short-sleeved shirt and floral pants.
Women in the Republic of Maldives go out in robes and veils over their faces.
For tourists, the requirements are not too high, and it is only when you go to the islands where locals live that you need to comply with these rules.
"Forget it, let's go to Pisces Island first, it's too troublesome here, and there are too many rules." Han Qianshan got up with difficulty and went to the window to exchange some Maldivian rupees, one dollar is about equal to thirteen rupees, which is the common currency of the Maldives.
Walking out of the door, the field of vision suddenly widened, the sea breeze was warmly blowing, and more than fifty meters away from the dock, several high-speed boats were parked there.
Pisces Island is located just south of Male Atoll, only 34 km from Airport Island.
Came to the front of a high-speed boat, the hull of the boat had some yellow stripes, the driver had dark skin, saw someone coming, and said in broken English: "Do you want to take a boat?" ”
"Let's go to Pisces Island, can we do it now?" Han Xuan asked.
The father took advantage of him to stand up and grabbed a place to sit on the suitcase, so that he could be lazy and exercise his son's communication skills.
"Of course, it's only forty-five minutes away, where did you come from?"
"United States."
When my father heard this, he knew something bad was going to happen, and sure enough, the driver paused and continued: "For $100, I'll send you there." ”
Now the average income of Maldivians is only 1,795 US dollars, and it is clear that they are slaughtering a big family, Han Xuan was stunned: "Is it too expensive?" ”
"It's getting dark, it's not safe for me to come back, $100 is already cheap."
The captain shook his head, and the pilots of the other ships looked at them with a smile as if they were happy to see this, and did not agree.
Han Xuan didn't say a word, pulled his father and walked back.
The captain looked curiously in the direction of Han Xuan, there were three seaplanes parked there, and he immediately patted his head: "70 dollars!" I'll give you as long as 70! ”
In the distance, the back raised a middle finger, causing the other drivers to laugh.
"You're going to spend money." The father turned his head to look at Han Xuan and squeezed his eyes.
"I don't want to give him a dollar, I'd rather spend more money, the poorer I should be, the more backbone I should have, how can there be someone like him."
Han Xuan shook the sand in his slippers, said in his mouth, found the nearest plane, knocked on the glass, and the man inside raised his head and turned around to help them open the door.
For the same $100, the price was about the same, and the seaplane quickly turned a corner, the propellers turned and taxied, and gradually flew into the sky.
"I heard that Pisces Island was bought? It can't be you! ”
"I haven't had a lot of people lately, by the way, my name is Nasheed!" The noise was a bit loud, the driver turned his head and shouted, Han Xuan realized that he looked very young, maybe only about twenty years old.
"Yes! My parents and I came here for the first time! ”
"What a beautiful island it is! Congratulations! Shinard turned his head, swayed the seaplane from side to side, and said excitedly: "Today is my first time at work!" It feels so comfortable! ”
Han Xuan was stunned and leaned his head over: "I'm sorry! What did you say? ”
"I say! I'm driving this for the first time! ”
The young man didn't know how much impact his words had on the whole family, Guo's mother opened her mouth to look at her son, and his father did the same.
Xiao Han Xuan had a bitter face, who knew that he would be so lucky to win the lottery, seeing that Shinard was still planning to show off his flying skills, he hurriedly fastened his seat belt and shouted: "Hey! We're not in a hurry, you slow down! ”
I don't know if Shenad heard it or not, so he made an OK gesture, dived down to the surface of the sea, and quickly pulled up.
When they stood on land, Xiao Han Xuan held his knees with both hands, wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit, patted his father's back next to him, and whispered: "Fortunately, you didn't buy Sun Island, that one will fly for more than an hour......"
The driver brought the luggage over, and the excitement on his face had not faded.
Touching himself, he quickly ran to the seaplane, and soon came back with a business card: "If you need to call, as long as I have time, I can get here in twenty minutes!" ”
"Thanks, but do you have any other people's business cards?" Han Qianshan replied with a wry smile, took the business card and put it in his pocket, and turned to leave.
Han Xuan calmed down and looked around carefully.
He swore it was a beauty he had never seen before.
It was evening, and the sun was only a little far from the sea.
As the sun sets, the sea is distinctly colored and shimmering, and the clouds hang low and suspended on the surface of the sea, like empty islands.
The shore is lined with palm trees and coconut groves, which grow luxuriantly, and the white sand beach beneath your feet is so white that you can't see the edge ahead.
There are many hermit crabs on the beach, the boardwalk stretches into the sea, and several floating houses are built next to it, supported by pillars underneath and covered with hay.
There are more than 20 sand huts on the beach not far away, which are similar in shape to water houses, but they are larger.
The machinery is in the open air, and a few rooms on the side have just begun to be built, and you can see some people, smiling and greeting here.
Guo's mother pointed to the middle one and shouted excitedly to her son: "I lived here when my father and I were on our honeymoon!" ”
"Yes, I've had it renovated." Her father put his arm around her and smiled.
Seeing the intimacy of his parents, Han Xuan grinned: "How big is Pisces Island?" It seems to be overcrowded. ”
"It's about two thousand meters long and five or six hundred wide."
"There are dozens of locals living here, and there are no tourists who come here." Han Qianshan learned from his son to take off his shoes, stepped on the beach barefoot, and slowly walked into the sea, now it is about 30 degrees, which is not cold.
Han Xuan was bad, poured water on his father, his strength was too small and was quickly suppressed by him, and he pressed it all in the sea, wet and ran to complain to his mother.
When foreign tourists saw them, they laughed happily, and there was a European and American woman who went swimming only in a bikini, and soon someone took off her clothes and went down to play in the water with her.
The sun is getting lower and lower, slowly disappearing into the sea level.
Han Xuan's family then carried the box and went to find a place to stay at night.
A bonfire has been lit on the shore......
