Han Kongque didn't care about the beautiful tour guide's complaints. He directly signaled to the policeman who followed him and asked him to check their passports. After looking at their protective shields, the policeman politely apologized and left.
"What do you call a tour guide? I don't know, where are we going to have lunch? Also, what activities are there in the afternoon? If there are no activities, can we move freely?" Han Kongque opened his mouth, which aroused Dai Zhen's anger again.
Dai Zhen said angrily: "We arranged to have dinner at the hotel at noon, and the food we ate was local specialties. If you are not used to it, you can find a restaurant to eat alone. Also, during these few days in Madai, there is no free time.
We have arranged all group activities, and you are not allowed to leave the island this afternoon, so we will arrange for you to buy some local specialties first, and when the blockade is lifted tomorrow, we will rearrange the activities."
After Han Peacock and Liu Xu sent the grumbling tour guide away, they entered the water house for the first time.
The room is equipped with air conditioning, independent sanitary facilities, bathroom equipped with telephone, bathtub, independent sea wooden bridge passage, roof fan, hair dryer, hot and cold water supply, international direct dial telephone, satellite TV, computer, indoor movie player, mini
Bar, private sunset sea view pier, in-room safe.
It can be said that the design is very considerate. Of course, in addition to the water villas, there are also water villas and paradise villas. However, Han Peacock gave the instructions too late, so neither the water villas nor the paradise villas were booked.
After taking a shower, Han Kongque looked at the travel brochures in the room and checked out the restaurants on the island. For Liuxu, eating is the most important thing now. Liuxu used international long-distance calls to call home.
"Shall we go out to eat?" Han Peacock asked.
While Liu Xu was talking, she logged into a domestic website on her computer and sent a large number of photos she had taken to her family.
"Didn't you see that I was busy? Ordering food." After saying that, Liuxu continued to show off his harvest to his family.
Han Peacock had no choice but to check which restaurants offered ordering services.
Paradise Island has a sea view cafe, various bars (5 seats), 5 large restaurants, which bring together Japanese, Chinese and Western food, 5 main coffee shops and bars, and the open-air beach bar also provides BBQ (
BBQ party) and other services. Many of them provide 24-hour service.
The Main Dining restaurant has a view of the Indian Ocean and is the best resort island restaurant in the Maldives. It provides a la carte British or European style breakfast, Asian or local Maldivian style lunch and dinner.
The Italian restaurant is located at the end of the island, with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. It provides romantic and delicious Italian meals and in-room pizza delivery service.
In addition to these, there is also an authentic Japanese restaurant that provides authentic Japanese Teppanyaki.
Although Liu Xu was not available, Han Peacock still told Liu Xu some things. After introducing them, Han Peacock asked: "What do you want to eat?"
Liuxu said lazily: "I don't want to eat barbecue, and I don't have any hope for foreign Chinese food. Let's share the Italian pizza! You can order this. Let them bring it to us to eat. After eating, take a good rest. We will go out in the afternoon.
Play."
"Okay, let's have a good rest after dinner, but I don't have any hope for the afternoon activities. Isn't buying souvenirs just like robbing tourists?"
"Don't think that all tour guides are so evil. I think the little tour guide just now is good. She is very responsible for us!" Liu Xu said with a smile.
Han Peacock just smiled and said nothing. The two of them ate pizza and fell asleep directly.
The two of them were woken up by someone. When they woke up, it was already past four in the afternoon. After three hours of sleep, both of them became refreshed.
Han Peacock and Liu Xu changed their clothes, washed their faces, and then walked out of the room.
After leaving the room, they saw many people waiting for them outside.
Seeing many people glaring at them, Han Peacock and Liu Xu glanced at each other, knowing that they had offended the public.
But they couldn't explain it at this time, after all, the little tour guide didn't tell them the time to gather.
Han Kongque glanced at the somewhat proud little tour guide. He didn't know how he and Liu Xu had offended her and allowed the little tour guide to pull off such a little conspiracy, which directly made other people in the group have opinions about the two of them.
.
Seeing everyone coming, Dai Zhen started to mobilize for the last time: "Okay, everyone is here. Let me say it again. When shopping in the Maldives, most large stores accept MasterCard and VISA cards. It is recommended that you deposit money into the card.
.
Different banks and various cards have different conditions. You should have consulted the card issuer on how to use bank cards in the Maldives. I won’t go into details here, but I recommend using international credit cards for consumption in the Maldives, and only need to bring a small amount of US dollars as a tip.
The most important thing is that it is forbidden to bring black coral, shells (except processed products), sand, shark fins, turtles or turtle products out of the country. So when buying things, be sure to ask if you can take them out of the customs. If you can't bring them, try your best.
Don’t buy it. If you insist on buying it, there’s nothing I can do about it. Are you clear about it? Let’s go when you are clear about it.”
Since Paradise Island is not very big, they did not take a bus and simply queued up to travel in groups. Han Kongque and Liu Xu were assigned to a group of eight people. They were all husband and wife, but the age gap was quite large.
Among these four couples, except Han Kongque and Liuxu, who are normal young couples, the others are a bit special. Except for them and another middle-aged couple, who are similar in age, there are two couples among them, both of whom are old and young.
.
The most special one among them is an old man and a quiet girl in her twenties, who were introduced as husband and wife. With such a pair, it is not surprising that the other pair is a middle-aged man with a big belly.
A fat young man with a charming girl.
There is also a pair, two middle-aged men and women who are very imposing. They don't look like a couple, but more like partners.
In this way, eight of them formed a team.
Because there were not many shops selling handicrafts on the island, their purpose was very clear and they went directly to a shopping mall with the largest sales.
There are many counters in the mall, all selling jewelry and handicrafts, and the most coral-related handicrafts are there.
There is air conditioning in the mall, so you feel cool when you enter. After the tour guide Dai Zhen walked in and reiterated the precautions for shopping, she sat on a chair to the side and allowed each group to move freely.
"Professor Shui, should we act separately or together?" As soon as Dai Zhen left, the fat man with a big belly asked the old man with a temperament first.
The old man was very satisfied with the fat man's attitude, but he didn't show much affection. Instead, he said lightly: "Since we are working in groups, let's go together! After all, we are in a foreign country, so we should take care of each other. Anyway,
We don’t have much money and we can’t go shopping big time.”
The fat man said: "If Professor Shui needs it, I can help. I applied for a lot of US dollars when I came here."
Maldives Customs regulations stipulate that when entering the country, each person can carry up to 20,000 yuan or the equivalent of 5,000 US dollars in foreign currency. The excess must be declared to the customs in writing. If there is any excess, you may face taxes, fines or confiscation.
Just as Professor Shui was about to refuse, he was given a subtle pull by the quiet girl next to him, and he understood the meaning immediately.
Knowing that he wanted something from others, Professor Shui no longer had the arrogance, so he immediately changed his words: "It depends on the situation! This is where the corals are precious. If you encounter good coral jewelry, you won't have enough money."
, I just need Brother Li’s help.”
Li Minglong, that is, the fat middle-aged man, immediately showed a smile. He smiled proudly at the woman beside him, and then said: "No problem, 20,000 yuan is not enough to buy a rosary here, so when the water comes,
Professor, please don't be polite, the funds I applied for are absolutely sufficient."
Han Peacock clearly saw the contempt of the other couple. Of course, they also saw such a perfect couple as Han Peacock and Liu Xu.
Han Kongque nodded and smiled at the man. Unexpectedly, the man walked over directly: "I, Gong Qianjun, what do you call this little brother?"
Han Peacock hesitated for a moment and said, "Liu Peacock, this is my wife Liu Xu."
Gong Qianjun smiled proudly and said: "You are newlyweds on your honeymoon, right? She and I also spent our honeymoon here twenty years ago. Now we come here to find feelings again. Otherwise, what this couple does is too tasteless."
When Han Kongque saw them, he felt that they were an awkward couple. It seemed that something was wrong. However, Han Kongque would not care to ask about such a thing, so he did not say much.
"Come on, let's go over and buy some accessories! When we came here, there was no ban on the export of certain things, and there was no restriction on carrying cash. But we didn't have money at that time, so we didn't buy many things. Now that we have money, we don't
You can't just buy things at will, things in the world are really wonderful." It can be seen that Gong Qianjun was a little emotional when he came here, but his wife remained silent.
The main specialties of the Maldives include shell products, reed mats, wooden lacquer boxes, and various coral-related handicrafts. The shops here are generally not large and are distributed on major islands. Most of them are handicraft shops, and the one on Paradise Island is a shopping mall.
, considered the largest store here.
The entire store has three floors. The first floor is all jewelry. Except for a small number of gold, silver and jade jewelry, the rest are all coral jewelry. Of course, there are also some coral carvings from time to time, but the prices are very expensive.
The second and third floors sell some luxury goods, but those kinds of things are available everywhere, so tourists who come here generally don’t go out of their way to buy them unless necessary.
