1341. Picnic at the waterfall (2/5)
At the dining table, the old man began to introduce him for most of his life.
"My name is Gianluca Seluciko. Gianluca means God's gift. I was born just after World War II. You know, compared to the war era, I was lucky enough to be born…"
The old man Gianluca was born in Sicily, Italy, which is the beautiful island in the beautiful legend of Sicily. After the war, Italy developed rapidly, and Gianluca found a job as a car salesperson.
It was the era of the car explosion. He made money that his father had earned in half his life in just two years. Because of his achievements, the company gave him a chance to travel for public expenses.
"Our boss later called me many times and told me that when I proposed to come to Iceland to see the glaciers, he should have rejected me firmly, haha." He laughed at this point.
"You came to Iceland and fell in love with it and chose to immigrate, right?" Wang Bo asked.
The old man said, "I fell in love with the girl here. My wife and I met here, a beautiful British girl. The beauty here is really touching, so we decided to come here to live."
He pointed at his mouth: "I'm what she taught me in English. Do you think I have a London accent?"
"I have never been to London, but your pronunciation is very standard." Wang Bo nodded.
The story that follows is plain and happy. The couple settled here, one became a teacher and the other still became a salesman.
Unfortunately, his wife died when they were about to retire, so Jamluka built a small house here and came here from time to time to fish and pass the time.
No matter where he said it, Jamluka's tone was optimistic.
Speaking of his wife's death, Wang Bo said sorry, but Jamluka shrugged and said, "I'm not sad, we will meet in heaven soon. When we are alive, we love each other. Look, the people who love each other have lived the life they love for thirty years. Is there any better than this?"
Eva held Wang Bo's hand and looked at Lan Tian yearningly, and said slowly: "Yes, what a wonderful life this is."
A delicious meal and a more beautiful life, Wang Bo expressed his satisfaction with his waterfall visit.
They played until evening before going back. When the lights were already on in the city, they were already on the lights and night fell.
It was still Bo Dad and Bo Mom who watched the child, the little loli read books, and the two of them went to the bar.
A few days ago, they visited the city and surrounding scenic spots. Later, Wang Bo changed his tools, rented a yacht, took the whole family and the kids up, and then went out to sea.
Reykjavik is an excellent port, with the clearest fishing waters in the world and some sea farms. Wang Bo wants to visit.
There are many small islands around Iceland. Some islands have glaciers all year round, while others are warm and snowy all year round.
What causes this strange situation is the weather and geographical environment. The North Atlantic warm current passes through this sea area, and the Arctic cold current will pass through. Some islands are caused by volcanic eruptions.
In this way, if the island is located in the cold current zone, there will be glacial terrain that has been traversing tens of thousands of years. If it is located in the warm current zone and there is rich geothermal heat below, the temperature of the island will be suitable throughout the year.
Glacier islands are owned by some animals, plants, birds, marine mammals, while warm islands are settled by humans. Because volcanic ash is rich in nutrients, they have been developed into farms.
These farms are called glacier farms, but they are not actually located on glacier islands. Wang Bo understands this as just a gimmick.
The farm that Wang Bo chose to visit is called Qili Aurora. It is located in the sea 60 kilometers southwest of the port. It is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Reykjavik and is especially popular among Asian tourists.
In this way, although Qili Aurora is called "farm", its main projects are no longer traditional animal husbandry, but have turned to tourism and entertainment industries.
Wang Bo chose this farm to visit, one was to learn, and the other was that this farm had a kind of livestock he needed.
The Marine Farm is one of the main tourist attractions promoted by the Iceland Tourism Bureau. The area of the beautiful Aurora is more than 30 hectares. Although it is not the largest tourist farm in Iceland, it is the most popular because of its well-managed business.
The farm is privately owned and is jointly managed and operated by two families. Since it is privately run, tickets are required to visit here.
The island is more than 200 hectares and the terrain is uneven. The farm is located in the southeast. A small pier is built here. After getting off the boat, you can go directly to the farm.
Wang Bo originally wanted to leave Xiao Wang and the others on the boat, but the captain was scared: "Sir, you'd better take them away. If my guys accidentally mess with them, I'm afraid that the ship will be wiped out by then!"
Anyway, there are wildernesses on the island except for the farm, so Wang Bo simply let them go to the wilderness by themselves.
From a tourism perspective, Qili Aurora Farm can provide agricultural performances with traditional Icelandic style, experience the daily life of Icelandic farms, and participate in colorful outdoor activities.
The summer farm has four colorful and distinctive farm shows every day, starting at 40 am, 10 noon, 30 pm and 40 pm each day.
And now it is winter, there are only two games a day, that is, the two games in the morning and noon.
In terms of adult tickets, a ticket costs 000 Icelandic Kroner, and a children's ticket is half price. Wang Bo bought the ticket, and then a part-time tour guide from the farm employee took them to the farm.
The farm has been carefully planned, but due to the season, many of the land is deserted.
The tour guide introduced: "I hope you can understand that there are no crops in the field now. If it is spring, you can see the growth of crops such as beer, short corn, and rye."
"Now, I can take you to watch the performances in the ranch, including sheepdog performances, shearing performances, horse-sleeve cattle performances, and you can also milk yourself and set traps to catch birds."
Wang Bo has been tired of playing these projects on his territory, so he said he would go and take a look and would not get started. He has other purposes.
In addition to them, there were other tourists, a total of about twenty people.
I roughly visited and there were entertainment activities in the ranch, and children could ride horses.
The pasture breeds more than ten batches of Icelandic horses, which are the purest breeds in the world. They were transported from Nordic Europe to Iceland about 1,200 years ago and have never been hybridized with other breeds for thousands of years.
Most of these horses are golden and petite and cute. However, although they are small, they are amazingly powerful. They are not afraid of the cold and are good at long-distance competitions.
Needless to say, the domestic animals Lao Wang wanted to get when visiting the farm were these Icelandic horses. (To be continued.)
