The front lobby is a separate house with a roof paved with earthen pineapple leaves. The facilities inside are very simple, with a few benches and a reception desk...
After Chen Yuan and the others showed their passports and registered, the reception manager recommended a hotel to them.
There are beach and sea view rooms, rainforest cabins and forest villas...
All rooms are in separate buildings, there is no building hotel.
Beach and sea view rooms are houses on the beach, which are relatively luxurious. There are single rooms and multi-person rooms.
Rainforest huts are small houses built in coconut groves with single rooms. Senleng villas are relatively luxurious houses in coconut groves with multiple rooms. The most luxurious forest villas are also equipped with swimming pools...
Australian dollars are charged here, and the prices for different accommodations range from a few dozen Australian dollars to more than 400 Australian dollars.
Then the hotel also has restaurants and shops.
Chen Yuan went back to his room to charge his mobile phone and came out. Zhou Sheng said, "Chen Xin is coming over?"
"I have a holiday in ten days."
"There is no signal on the mobile phone. If you want to send photos, I have to go to the fleet mothership to send them to you."
Chen Yuan stood up and took out a few more cups: "If you don't drink in the hotel, where can you go to have fun?"
"Whiskey tastes terrible." Chen Yuan picked up the wine and took a sip.
"Are you busy?"
"You seem to have worked hard when you were studying." Zhou Sheng sat down on the recliner, rolled his eyes and said.
The fastest, it will arrive on July 5th or 6th. In this case, there will only be ten days left in the fishing season.
"I didn't go, so I drank." Chen Yuandao: "Have a day off, go out to play tomorrow, come over and drink."
"It will take at least ten days." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
A two-bedroom beach house with bedrooms on both sides and a living room in the middle. In front of the living room is an antiseptic wood floor, and outside is the white sandy beach... you can see the colorful lagoon at a glance.
The two drank a drink and then saw Xu Laosan and Liu Laoer walking over from the beach.
"When do you have your holiday?"
However, after receiving the coconuts, the reception manager of the hotel came over and told them that these coconuts were complimentary. If you still need coconuts, you can go to the restaurant to get them. All coconuts are free. The hotel has its own plantation, and there is not much else on the island.
, but there were coconuts everywhere. Then he told them the prices of beer, red wine, whiskey and other drinks in the living room.
I have a holiday on June 30th, then apply for a visa, and then come here... it will take some time.
"I'm free now." Chen Yuan said, "I should be relatively free for a long time to come."
Chen Yuan took the phone and took a few pictures of the lagoon scenery: "National conditions are different, and the economic strength is also different."
"Forget it, I'll search it online and take a look."
"He's got a hammer... He's not as good as liquor." Chen Yuan said and took out his cell phone. On this remote island, there was no cell phone signal at all.
"Which island?"
Sun, sand, beautiful lagoon.
After Chen Yuan put away his luggage, the staff brought them some coconuts. Neither Chen Yuan nor Zhou Sheng could understand English, let alone the local language...
Not to mention this small island, it is located in Buta Atoll, which is very remote.
"Beautiful, very original. There are coconut trees everywhere on the island. The beach here is very white, and it's a bit dazzling under the sun..." Chen Yuan said with a smile: "Look at the map online. The lagoon here is very beautiful."
pretty."
"Can you send me a photo?"
"Call me." Zhou Sheng reached for Chen Yuan's cell phone.
"It's Saturday. Why do you have time to call me this morning?"
"It's still comfortable in China. Even on some remote islands, mobile phones have signals." Zhou Sheng said.
"There's no electricity."
Chen Yuan said 'hmm' and then said: "I will pick you up at the airport."
"At the end of the month, the 30th."
In the base country, mobile phone signals are probably only available in Tarawa. When Chen Yuan first came here, he bought a local mobile phone card in order to make a video call to Yan Xiaoxi.
"Probably." Chen Yuan said, "Xiao Xi will have a holiday at the end of this month. Then I will ask Chen Xin to fly over with me."
"Let's go out and catch lobsters in shallow water." Liu Laoer said.
"To Kiribati?"
"Bikati Island in Buta Atoll, a small island with an area of only a few hundred acres."
“Isn’t the island beautiful?”
"Gan, go recharge quickly."
"How long is a long time?"
"It's rare to have a rest, so you're just drinking in the hotel?" Xu Laosan said.
"Let's take a walk around."
Chen Yuan chuckled and put the cup on the table. Zhou Sheng opened the whiskey and gave Chen Yuan half a cup...
Chen Yuan took another sip of wine, lay on the chair, took out his satellite phone, and called Yan Xiaoxi.
"Isn't the fishing season going to end until mid-July?"
Chen Yuan and the others requested three beach houses, all with double rooms. The cost per day was 1,150 Australian dollars, including a breakfast.
"Okay, let me ask Chen Xin." Yan Xiaoxi said, "What are you doing now?"
Xu Laosan and Xu Qiang trotted over.
"I have time." Chen Yuan said, "I'll wait for you and Chen Xin to come over after the holiday."
Chen Yuan laughed: "I'm just teasing you, there's no signal."
"It's terrible to be uneducated. If I go out on my own and the hotel staff doesn't speak Chinese, I won't be able to handle the check-in procedures." After sending the reception manager away, Zhou Sheng picked up a bottle of whiskey and looked at Chen Yuandao.
"You can come and play on our ship." Chen Yuan said, "On the Yuanxing 55."
"I'm coming over. Do you have time?"
"I can't come to Kiribati for fun," Chen Yuan said.
After checking in, Chen Yuan and the others went to the beach house.
"We don't speak English, so it's very inconvenient to go out."
"Yes." Chen Yuandao.
Chen Yuan and Yan Xiaoxi chatted for a long time, and their cell phones ran out of battery, so they hung up.
"Depend on."
There are deck chairs, parasols, and small tables outside the living room.
"No. Zhou Sheng and I will be responsible for finding fish on the boat. We are in a separate boat and will not delay our work." Chen Yuandao.
The island is very quiet, except for the occasional call of seabirds, no other noise can be heard.
Zhou Sheng smiled stupidly, raised his wine, and touched it with Chen Yuan.
"Hello." Yan Xiaoxi's voice came from the phone.
Chen Yuan picked up two cups and said with a smile: "Who told you not to study hard before?"
“Foreign wines are of high quality.”
These drinks have prices marked on them. Although they don't understand English, Chen Yuan and the others can recognize the numbers on them.
"Will it delay your work?"
Chen Yuan smiled and gave it to him...
"Is there a signal?"
If the phalanx deployed by their fleet is effective, it can continue until the end of the fishing season.
This hotel is quite big, but there are not many tourists.
"We're on vacation on the island." Chen Yuan said: "It's the fishing season now. I don't need to look for fish, so I have nothing to do... so I just come to the island to play."
"Give me a call." Zhou Sheng said.
"Just wandering around and looking at the scenery." Liu Laoer also walked over quickly and said, "Although I often fish in the Pacific, there are very few opportunities to land on the island. It was not easy to get up. Let's walk around.
Take a look. By the way, are there any coconut crabs here?"
"Yes." Xu Qiang said.
Chen Yuan also nodded and said almost at the same time: "Yes."
When Chen Yuan and others first came here, Lupi invited them to play on the island. The hotel they stayed at at that time had coconut crab on the menu.
