Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 277 The Glass Boat

Although it is summer, but today's Thames River can also be called "autumn crisp".

The river wind blows continuously all year round, blowing everyone's skirts and hair. The sound of this kind of clothes being blown by the wind gathers together and makes a rattling sound.

At the same time, there are exclamations from tourists, discussions, and children's smiles.

The number of tourists on the ship has not yet reached saturation, but the owner of the ship still chose to sail the ship out of the port, and he still knows himself in words.

So Ye Kai stood at the bow of the boat and watched the scenery for a while, then walked up to the young man who was driving the boat.

"Young captain, hello."

"Haha, great writer."

This man has short blond hair and wears white clothes that are highly breathable. He looks quite handsome, with the temperament of a prodigal son in a British drama.

"What about a great writer? I was just lucky enough to write a book that readers like more. The captain has also read Harry Potter?"

He looked ahead through the glass and didn't need to steer for the time being, so he held the steering wheel of the car and said: "Of course I saw it, but I bought it a few days ago. I know you have a signing event yesterday, but I didn't go .”

Ye Kai already knew that he hadn't seen this person yesterday, everyone Ye Kai saw his face when signing the autograph.

Although he wanted to ask this reader what he thought of his book, Ye Kai's attention was quickly attracted by something new.

It was the rudder that Ye Kai ignored before.

When I saw it just now, I thought it looked like something on a car. At this time, Ye Kai saw the icon on the steering wheel again. It turned out that it was not like a car steering wheel.

Then Ye Kai looked at other things in the cockpit, the seats, instruments, and detectors, all of which were very different from other cruise ships.

Ye Kai looked around and wanted to see what was new about this ship, so the captain said, "Hey, did you find it?"

"What did you find?"

"Boat, I rebuilt this boat out of scrapped cars. How about it? It looks like a cruise ship, right? Just a little bit of whitewash to make it look like a new one."

"self-made?"

Ye Kai stared at the captain dumbfounded.

This person looks younger than himself, but he actually made a cruise ship out of car parts?
He thought that the parts here were unique, just like the decoration of the car, but he didn't think that these things were dismantled from the car.

"Yeah, I did it myself. Just now I recognized you and yelled casually. I didn't expect you to come up." He laughed twice, looking very happy, "I thought you would go sit down Crown River ship."

"Crown River? What is this?"

The captain said: "This is a cruise company in London. It mainly belongs to some kind of private custom-made personal boat, which is very suitable for you celebrities."

"You say I'm a celebrity? Then you really think highly of me."

The captain shook his head and explained seriously to Ye Kai: "Among this year's books, who has the momentum of Harry Potter? I don't know whose books will be popular this year, but I think you must be there."

He doesn't know much about book sales, but readers who buy books don't need to understand this either.

They just need to write well.

There are quite a few people who have read the book of Harry Potter now, but there are too few people who are willing to pay attention to the author through this book. It is precisely because of this that Ye Kai will board his boat.

In the UK, those who can know themselves and call out their names are loyal readers.

After chatting for a few words and knowing that this person's name is David, Ye Kai returned to the bow of the boat. After all, he only got on the viewing boat because he wanted to see the scenery by the river.

Not for talking to people, although David is certainly an interesting guy.

There are many viewing boats on the river, and this one looks inconspicuous, and any boat passing by can block the view of the surrounding buildings.

There is no way around this, most of the viewing boats here are double-decker, with a transparent roof, so that those tourists who stand on it will not affect the sightseeing.

The advantage of this boat is that it is cheaper besides being closer to the water.

However, the blocked view is only a small problem. The river is too big and too wide. As long as the boat is a little slower, those big boats can quickly pass the cruise ships.

So everyone can happily start taking pictures of these scenic spots again.

As the cruise ship slowly moves, more and more centuries-old buildings appear on the second bank, allowing the integration of historic sites and ultra-modern new buildings.

These buildings retain a lot of London's ancient history and enrich the cultural heritage of the city of London.

Now when it comes to London, there are only some scenic spots on both sides of the Thames that are discussed the most.

David said that there were many Chinese people on board the boat, and it was only when they got on the boat that they realized that the foreigner was cheating people.

He only heard an elderly Chinese couple speaking Chinese, and everyone else spoke Korean. It was a young travel group. The younger ones were in their 20s, and the oldest was less than 30. There were probably eight or nine of them.

The rest are two couples with European faces.

The old Huaxia couple didn't know Ye Kai, but they would still smile and nod when their eyes met.

The cruise ship broke through the water, and the sound of running water was very clear.

Although London used to be called the city of fog, it is different now. People with good eyesight can see far away on the river.

There is a very famous scenic spot ahead, and Ye Kai was the first to discover it.

Then everyone saw the increasingly clear building.

Big Ben.

This building that only appeared in the texts when I was a child suddenly appeared in front of Ye Kai's eyes at this time, and it felt quite strange, as if some of my childhood dreams had come true.

The not-so-warm sun shone down, and everyone on the river was enjoying the sun bathing to its fullest.

Not long after, he saw a large and uniquely shaped boat in front of him. David shouted loudly after seeing it: "That's a catering cruise ship. Does any of you want to go aboard?"

Thames River Cruises runs year-round, with sightseeing and dedicated dining cruises running daily.

I saw a particularly luxurious cruise ship before. David said that it was a cruise ship from City Cruises, and it was named by the Queen herself.

It made Ye Kai want to go up and take a look more and more.

But the catering boat that will be approaching soon also looks very good. This is a very, very long boat that looks like an extended and widened version of the dragon boat for the Dragon Boat Festival.

The ship is a glass house, as big as the ship is, the glass is as big as it is, and there is no empty deck on the front or back for people to stand on.

This restaurant on the river is quite interesting, it looks much more modern and grand than the restaurant on the river that Ye Kai met in Amsterdam.

"I want to go up and have a look, you guys..."

Although the boat that Ye Kai was on looked very broken, there was still a charge.

He was thinking that if he was going to the floating restaurant alone, what would other people do?Is the cruise ship waiting for you nearby?Or just transport people away?
David said directly: "If you want to go, you can just go up, but I won't wait for you."

To put it bluntly...

It has been almost an hour since the departure from the London Eye, and one ticket is responsible for the round trip of a tourist, which means that David needs to send the tourist back to the London Eye.

But David's boat is not a formal company after all, and sometimes it's just for everyone's convenience.

Together, several Koreans will also disembark here. Anyway, they have already finished their one-way journey, and it is meaningless to look at the scenery they saw before.

After all, Moments cannot post the same photo twice.

And the old couple saw that Ye Kai, who was also from China, was about to disembark here. After thinking about it, they also wanted to take a look at the floating restaurant on the Thames.

Don't worry too much about money when traveling.

Seeing that everyone disembarked, the two European couples didn't know what they were thinking, and they wanted to disembark here anyway.

Now everyone was going to disembark, and David was so happy. Anyway, his ticket would not be refunded. Now all the tourists on board had left, and he also left work early.

Ye Kai always felt that David had a good temperament, and he should not be the captain who sailed on the Thames all the year round, maybe it was just his side job.

But this is not what Ye Kai wants to explore, he now wants to see the restaurant that will be boarded soon.

When they got close, everyone could see the name of the boat, it was called Glass Room, and it was directly translated as a glass boat, and the name fit the occasion.

Everyone separated after boarding the boat.

Standing in front of Ye Kai was a waitress, wearing an extremely slim suit, not holding a menu or a tray Ye Kai even thought she was the pianist here.

"Do you have an appointment, sir?"

"No."

He didn't know about this restaurant before, if it wasn't for taking a cruise ship to visit the scenery on both sides of the strait, Ye Kai might find a western restaurant to eat at random on land.

There are places in the restaurant that are already booked, but eating anywhere in the restaurant doesn't really make any difference.

Because the front, rear, left, and right sides of this glass boat are all made of transparent glass, the hull is always moving on the water, and the scenery you can see from any place you sit on is unique and different.

The waiter led Ye Kai forward, saw that Ye Kai was a tourist, and introduced: "We don't order food here, we only serve lunch and dinner. Today is the weekend, and there is a chef on board, and the charge is 55 pounds."

Ye Kai had no objection, he just pointed to the stage in front of me and said, "What is that? Will there be a performance?"

The waiter who brought Ye Kai over nodded and said, "Yes, Sunday lunch is 16 pounds more expensive than Monday to Friday. One of the reasons is because of the chef, and the other reason is the live jazz band."

This restaurant is very emotional.

Ye Kai sat down at the seat he found, waiting for the jazz music on the stage while waiting for the meal.

Floating on the water in such a beautiful ship at noon, the chefs carefully prepared the meals on the table, and the clean glass windows are the magnificent scenery on both sides of the Thames.

A jazz band came onto the stage, and the long-haired trumpeter blew his own trumpet, followed by the piano.

A special concert on the water began.

Ye Kai waved the knife and fork gracefully, enjoying the pleasure brought by the food, and enjoying this moment full of art.
