MTL - Happy Little Mayor-Chapter 1342 . Glacier Farm (3/5)
At the dinner table, the old man began to introduce most of his life.
"My name is Janluca-Serucico. Janluca means the gift of God. I was born just after the end of World War II. You know, compared to the war era, I was born lucky enough ... ... "
The old man Gianluca was born in Sicily, Italy, the beautiful island in the beautiful legend of the movie Sicily. Post-war Italy developed quickly, and Gianluca found a job as a car salesman.
It was the age of the Big Bang. In just two years, he earned the money his father made in half his life. Because of his achievements, the company gave him a chance to travel at public expense.
"Our boss later called me several times to tell me that when I proposed to come to Iceland to see the glacier, he should have rejected me decisively, haha." He laughed.
"When you came to Iceland, you fell in love with this place and chose to emigrate, didn't you?" Wang Bo asked.
The old man said: "I fell in love with the girl here, my wife and I, a beautiful British girl met here, and the beauty here is really moving, so we decided to live here."
He pointed his mouth: "I taught her English. Do you think there is a London accent?"
"I haven't been to London, but your pronunciation is very standard." Wang Bo nodded.
The latter story is bland and happy. The couple settled here, one was a teacher and one was still a salesman.
But unfortunately, his wife died when they were about to retire, so Gianluca built a small house here, and from time to time here to kill time.
Wherever he goes, Janluca's tone is optimistic.
Speaking of his wife's death, Wang Bo said sorry, but Janluca shrugged: "I'm not sad, we will soon meet in heaven. When we are alive, we love each other, you see, loved one Have you lived in your favorite place for thirty years, and is there anything better than that? "
Eva held Wang Bo's hand and looked at the blue sky yearningly, slowly said, "Yeah, what a wonderful life."
A beautiful meal, a more beautiful life, Wang Bo expressed satisfaction with his waterfall visit.
They went back to play in the evening, and waited until the city lights were on and the night came.
It is still Bo Da and Bo Ma who read the children, and Little Loli read the book, and they run to the bar.
A few days ago they wandered around the city and the surrounding scenic spots. In the back, Wang Bo changed his tools, rented a yacht, took the whole family and Mao children up, and went out to sea.
Reykjavik is an excellent port. It has the clearest fishing grounds in the world, as well as some maritime farms. Wang Bo wants to see it.
There are many small islands around Iceland. Some islands have glaciers all year round, and some islands are warm and snow-free all year round.
What causes this weird situation is the weather and geographical environment. The warm North Atlantic current passes through this area, and the cold currents in the Arctic also pass. Some islands are formed by volcanic eruptions.
In this way, if the island is located in the cold current zone, there will be glacial topography that spans tens of thousands of years. If it is located in the warm current zone and there is rich geothermal heat below it, the temperature of the island is appropriate throughout the year.
Glacier islands are owned by some flora, fauna, and marine mammals, while warm islands are settled by humans, and because volcanic ash is rich in nutrients, it has also been developed into a farm.
These farms are called glacial farms, but they are not actually located on glacial islands, which Wang Bo understands is just a gimmick.
The farm Wang Bo chose to visit is called Aurora Aurora, which is located 60 kilometers southwest of the port. It is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Reykjavik, and it is especially popular with Asian tourists.
In this way, although the name of Qili Aurora is "farm", its main project is no longer the traditional animal husbandry, but has turned to tourism and entertainment.
Wang Bo chose this farm to visit, one is to study, and the other is that the farm has a kind of livestock he needs.
The maritime farm is one of the tourist attractions promoted by the Icelandic Tourism Authority. The area of the beautiful Aurora has more than 30 hectares. Although it is not the largest tourist farm in Iceland, it is the most popular because it is well-managed.
The farm is privately owned and is jointly managed and operated by the two families. Since it is privately run, tickets are required to visit here.
The island has an area of more than 200 hectares, and the terrain is undulating. The farm is located in the southeast, and a small pier is built here, and you can go directly to the farm after disembarking.
Wang Bo wanted to leave them on the boat, and the captain scared: "Sir, you can take them away. If my guys accidentally provoked them, I'm afraid the ship will be destroyed by then!"
Anyway, besides the farms on the island are wilderness, Wang Bo simply let them go and let them go to the wild by themselves.
From the perspective of tourism, Qili Aurora Farm can provide agricultural performances with traditional Icelandic style, you can experience the daily life of Icelandic farms, and you can also participate in a variety of outdoor activities.
Summer farm has four colorful farm shows every day, starting at 40 am, 10 noon, 30 and 40 in the afternoon.
And now it is winter, there are only two games a day, that is, two games in the morning and noon.
In terms of adult tickets, one ticket costs ISK 000, and children's tickets are half price. Wang Bo bought the tickets, and then a part-time tour guide from the farm staff took them into the farm.
The farm is carefully planned, but much of the land is deserted for seasonal reasons.
The tour guide said: "I hope you can understand that there are no crops in the field. If it is after spring, you can see slices of beer wheat, dwarf corn, rye and other crops growing."
"Now, I can take you to the ranch show. Shepherd show, sheep shearing show, horse and cow show. You can also milk the milk yourself and set traps to catch birds."
Wang Bo was tired of these projects on his own site, so he said that if he followed it, he would not get started. He had other purposes.
In addition to them there are other tourists, a total of twenty people.
After a brief visit, there are entertainment programs in the ranch, and children can ride horses.
There are more than ten batches of Icelandic horses in the pasture. This is the purest breed of horse in the world. It was transported from Northern Europe to Iceland about 1200 years ago. It has not been crossed with other breeds for thousands of years.
Most of these horses are golden yellow and petite and cute, but don't look at their small size, but they are amazing in strength, not afraid of the cold, and good at racing.
Needless to say, the livestock that Pharaoh wanted to visit the farm were these Icelandic horses. (To be continued.)
