Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 378 Reykjavik

Hearing Ye Kai's proficient Icelandic, the taxi driver looked at Ye Kai in surprise and asked, "Do you live in Iceland?"

"No, I'm a tourist from China. I fell in love with Iceland a long time ago. I have taught myself a little Icelandic, which is convenient for communication."

The driver laughed, half surprised, half disbelieving, and said, "Really? God, this is crazy, you talk like a local resident who grew up here."

"Maybe I was Icelandic in my last life?"

"Then you must be a very famous Icelander." The driver said with a smile.

It takes an hour to drive from the airport to Reykjavik. The surrounding road is very desolate. It is an extremely barren plain with a wide field of vision, just like the surface of the moon.

The clouds in the sky move so fast that they can be seen with the naked eye.

The driver noticed that Ye Kai was looking at the clouds in the sky, and said: "It will rain in a while..."

"How did you know?"

"In Iceland, we predict the weather by looking at the clouds and the wind in the sky, which is a must-have skill for every Icelander," he continued. "The clouds over there are thick and the wind direction is north."

Ye Kai was silent for a while.

Am I really Icelandic in my previous life?No, no... these skills of mine were given to me by the system.

The car became quiet again, Ye Kai opened the window, the wind messed Ye Kai's hair, only the whistling sound of the wind could be heard in his ears, the air was cold, as if the chill came out after opening the refrigerator.

Every time I go to a new place, the first impression is always impressive.

In Ye Kai's eyes, Iceland is quiet, pristine, bright, with fresh air and a vast field of vision.

There are no billboards, no houses, and the horizon stretches infinitely. At the end of the field of vision are mountains that cannot be seen clearly, and there may be snow-capped mountains.

The air here is as fresh as Tibet, but the exotic atmosphere in Iceland is incomparable to Tibet.

He took out his mobile phone to take a photo and wanted to post a Weibo, but Ye Kai suddenly noticed something... Ye Kai touched the wallet by the way while touching the mobile phone... Then he remembered that he hadn't exchanged Icelandic currency at the airport.

Ye Kai said to the driver: "Can you stop at the bank first? Let me get the money."

The driver faced Ye Kai and looked at him with dark blue eyes:
"Don't you have krona? It's okay to swipe the card in the car... It turns out that you are really a tourist from abroad. This is really incredible. I mean, your Icelandic language is really good."

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

It's great to be able to swipe the card directly.

There is a meter on the taxi. Right in front of Ye Kai, he glanced at the meter. The number on it has exceeded four digits, which means that Ye Kai now has to pay more than one thousand local currency.

I took out my mobile phone and started searching, only to realize that Iceland's local currency is called krona.

The ratio to Huaxia currency is about 1 Huaxia currency: 17 Icelandic krona
Oh...that's not very expensive either.

Knowing that Ye Kai is really a tourist from abroad, the driver began to introduce to Ye Kai the good places to travel in Iceland, such as the three major parks in Iceland, the National Park of the Former Parliament Site, Vatna Glacier Park, and a Glacier Canyon National Park... …

"Can you see the aurora now?" Ye Kai asked.

What Ye Kai wants to see most when he comes to Iceland is the aurora, which is the symbol of the North Pole. Ye Kai really wants to see what the northern lights will look like with his own eyes.

Are the bands of light of various colors floating in the sky like in the pictures on the Internet?

Ye Kai has a very high level of post-production photography, so he doesn't trust the pictures on the Internet. Just give Ye Kai a picture, and he can post the aurora in a short time.

But Ye Kai didn't know if it was the aurora, because he had never seen it with his own eyes.

"So you wanted to see the aurora," the driver thought for a while before continuing to answer. "Now there are auroras, but they are not so obvious. The darker the place, the easier it is to see the aurora. I suggest you go north."

"I heard that polar bears and blue whales can be seen in Iceland, is it true?"

"Of course you can see it, but polar bears need luck. For blue whales, you can go on a whale watching boat in Reykjavik...but it also depends on luck. Not every boat can see blue whales."

The total population of Iceland is only 30, and most of the people picked up by the driver at the airport are tourists from all over the world.

The scenery mentioned to Ye Kai is some of the attractions that tourists like very much. This is also because Ye Kai can speak Icelandic, which makes the driver very happy.

The sun finally went down, at 08:30.

As the temperature dropped further, Ye Kai also closed the window, leaned on the seat in the most comfortable sitting position, and pulled his collar to cover his mouth.

Finally entered the city, the driver took Ye Kai to the entrance of a hotel...or it could be called a B&B?
Ye Kai swiped his card to get off the car and looked around.

There are no high-rise buildings in Reykjavik. The largest building should be a steeple church in the distance. Other than that, they are all short houses.

The house Ye Kai will live in tonight is also like this, short and short, like a folk house.

But it is very beautiful, it is a typical European-style building, downstairs is the owner of the homestay, and the stairs next to it can enter the second floor of the house, which has eight rooms.

Not very spacious, but nicely furnished.

The owner of the B&B is a very fat aunt, about 50 years old, with a very kind face. After discovering that Ye Kai can speak Icelandic, she was very enthusiastic. out of the room.

"Is there anyone living next door?" Ye Kai asked after unloading his luggage.

"Yes, they are all tourists from abroad like you, like Sweden and Asia... I don't know too well, they went out to play, and they should be back soon. By the way, Ye, you have dinner ?"

"I've eaten."

The meal on the plane was rich. Ye Kai ate Chinese style beef tenderloin rice. The stewardess also brought Ye Kai ice cream, bread and coffee.

After hearing that Ye Kai had dinner, the aunt did not continue to invite, and said: "Then you have a good rest, the journey has been hard, I hope you like Reykjavik..."

Yes, I like it very much... Ye Kai thought to himself.

The previous driver's name was Stowe.Franklin, and the aunt's name was Jonson.Althea. These were the two Icelanders Ye Kai met on the first day after arriving in Iceland.

Ye Kai took a picture of them all.

After closing the door, Ye Kai yawned and found out the charging cable to charge the camera.Turn on the laptop, put the photos taken today into the computer, and write a short travel note.

After finishing, Ye Kai looked out the window, Ye Kai and the driver's predictions were correct, the sky outside was already covered with dark clouds, and a heavy rain was coming.

Yawning, Ye Kai wrote at the end of his travel notes... On the first day of his arrival, he lived in a homestay in Reykjavik.
