Chapter 978: 977. Sea of Nemo (1/5)
Chapter 978: 977. Sea of Nemo (15)
The golden sun shone on the golden sand, reflecting each other, and the golden light became more and more dazzling. Li Du stood on the pier and looked around. He couldn't tell where was the sun and where was the beach.
The blue water beats on the beach, and the clear waves with white foam rush to the beach and recede, rush to the beach and recede again, and the cycle continues, sending the sand from the bottom of the sea up, and taking away the dust and stains on the beach. .
In this way, the style of the Indian Ocean was gradually displayed in front of Li Du.
The sea water is as clear as sapphire, and the palm groves on the shore are lush, spreading from his feet to the sky. In the warm subtropical climate, the sea breeze is as warm and warm as spring breeze, blowing on people's faces, fresh and gentle.
Looking back from the pier, there are parks around the beach, fountains in the park, and exquisite cafes, restaurants and bars behind the fountains.
If you can look past these exquisite small buildings, you can still see a street, known as the most attractive golden mileage street in Durban.
The streets are lined with luxurious hotels and apartments, which contrast with the rustic tones of the surroundings and showcase the cultural diversity.
On the street, in the park, and on the seaside corridor, colorful rickshaws were running fast. Li Du thought of Shanghai at the beginning of the last century when he saw them. However, the people pulling the rickshaws here were blacks, not Chinese.
The black drivers are very interestingly dressed. They wear cheap jewelry such as bead chains and artificial gemstones on their bodies. They look like artists. This kind of dress is a local culture. Rickshaws do not have license plates, and they can be identified only by the jewelry on the drivers. .
This is Durban, the number one beach city on the east coast of Africa. There are an average of 320 sunny days every year, and the average sea temperature throughout the year is above 17°C.
Appreciating the scenery, Li Du believed the previous promise of the lion hunter: when you get to the beach, you will be satisfied and you will want to dive.
There are so many places to play on Durban's beaches, there are a large number of attractions, such as Water World, Fun World, Boating Pool, Mini Town and Fitzmont Snake Park, which attract thousands of tourists every day.
Looking up, in addition to the golden sun, blue sky, and white clouds, there are also colorful aerial cable cars.
Of course the most beautiful, or diving.
The place where they are now is a private beach that belongs to the Regal Hotel behind them.
The name of the hotel is very rustic, but it is one of the most historic hotels in South Africa. It has been opened for a hundred years. Before a hundred years ago, the rich were the pursuit of everyone, including the so-called "upper class".
South Africa has many beautiful beaches in the world, most of which are privately owned, and each city symbolically opens some public beaches to tourists.
If you really want to enjoy it, you still have to stay in a big hotel or have a personal trainer with the super rich and enter their beach.
In this way, there are not many people on the beach around Li Du's location. The beach in the distance is separated by a beautiful fence, and the other side is crowded with people...
A business yacht drove over, and a lion hunter wearing sunglasses and beach shorts waved to him with a big belly: "Li, come here, I'll take you to see sharks!"
Li Du got on the yacht with a smile and said, "Aren't we diving? Diving in front of sharks?"
Every June, there will be a sardine storm in the waters of Durban, where large groups of sardines gather here to mate, lay eggs and give birth to offspring.
Two months have passed now, but there are still schools of sardines left here.
When the yacht drove out, Li Du soon saw groups of sardines on the sea.
After a while, seeing so many sardines, he exclaimed: "There are so many fish here."
The lion hunter shrugged regretfully and said, "Unfortunately, buddy, you came at the wrong time. If it's June, my God, this sea is full of sardines!"
"So exaggerated?"
"It's not an exaggeration at all," the lion hunter gestured. "Extending ten kilometers into the sea, as far as you can see across the coastline, the sea is full of sardines! This is the sardine storm!"
Sharks in the offshore are attracted by sardines. Here you can see a variety of large marine life, great white sharks, bull sharks, tiger sharks, hammerhead sharks, mako sharks, humpback whales, seals, rays, a large number of dolphins... …
There is a shark prevention net in the offshore area. The lion hunter took them to the vicinity of the shark prevention net and said, "This is a good place for diving. You can find it yourself. There is a treasure of a sunken ship here."
Sophie asked, "Is this Sea of Nemo?"
The lion hunter nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, this is Sea of Nemo!"
Li Du didn't know much about Durban. It was his first visit and the first time he heard about this place.
Sophie is different. Although Sophie doesn't leave Flagstaff very often, she has a heart that yearns for freedom. She usually pays attention to "National Geographic" magazine and knows many famous tourist destinations around the world.
The Sea of Nemo is the best diving site in South Africa, known as one of the top ten diving sites in the world, because this sea area is rich in marine life.
"This sea area is actually a fossilized sand dune consisting of corals and sponges, 1.5 kilometers long, 1 kilometer wide, and 37 meters deep. The sand dunes are obstacles for ships, so since ancient times, not many ships have passed here, so , the ecological environment of this sea area has been preserved without interference." Sophie explained.
She took a deep breath and jumped off the deck into the water.
Li Du followed her into the water, and Ah Ao followed behind, happily making waves in the water, playing the dog-planing swimming style decently.
Ali stood hesitantly on the edge of the deck and looked down. Most mammals are born to swim, and kangaroos are a minority among them. Their body structure predestined them not to be able to swim.
Ah Miao kicked it from behind, Ali was so frightened that his muscles almost convulsed, and he fell into the water with a 'bang' like a weight.
Ah Ao was next to him. Seeing Ali sinking in horror after falling into the water, he swam over to pick him up.
Li Du was about to praise Ah Ao for being a good boy, but Ah Ao took Ali away from the yacht and let him go.
Ali freaked out!
Brother Wolf was afraid that something would happen to it, so he rushed towards it, picked up Ali and lifted it to the surface of the water.
Ali struggled with all his strength in the water, and Brother Wolf got close to him and punched him. After sending him out of the water, he waved his little paws wildly, screaming crazily.
Li Du glared at Ah Miao, and Ah Miao knew that the situation was not good, so she tucked her tail and hurried to the cabin.
As a result, the deck was too slippery, and it was covered with sea water. Ah Miao turned around and ran, and fell on all fours.
Li Du beckoned, and the crisp noodle next to him grabbed its tail with its paws, and dragged it to the edge of the deck like dragging a sack. Li Du went up to grab Ah Meow's long tail and dragged it into the water.
Before going into the water, Ah Meow let out a desperate scream: "Ah Meow!"
Ali was sent onto the boat by Brother Wolf. When he saw Ah Miao falling into the water, he immediately stood up to the edge of the deck in good spirits, staring at him.
