The four-wheel-drive off-road vehicle was swaying while walking on the bumpy road. Yan Xing was afraid that the little Loli's little head would be hit when the vehicle bumped. He put his right hand around the little Loli's back and placed his hand against the car wall on the other side to protect him.
She really bumped too hard several times along the way, and the little loli bumped into the palm of his hand.
Because he successfully protected the little Loli from being hit, the little Loli didn't care about his arm resting on her shoulder, which made him feel even better.
When he could see the towering baobab tree in the distance, Yan Xing only glanced at it twice, still protecting the little Loli wholeheartedly.
The Avenue of Baobab Trees is famous and attracts tourists from all over the world to come and view it like a pilgrimage. Whether it is the rainy season or the dry season on the Falklands, tourists come to admire the baobab trees and take photos.
There is little rain in the western part of Falklands. In the late dry season, the plants on both sides of the baobab avenue wither and become bare, exposing the red soil; during the rainy season, the green color spreads, and there is a green carpet under the baobab trees, which are only frequently driven by cars.
The road has been trampled by cattle, sheep and people and is bare.
April is the beginning of the dry season on Falklands. The vegetation along the Baobab Avenue is still green. It has not rained. Naturally, there is no accumulation of water on the road. Therefore, there is no picture of the Baobab Avenue turning into a waterway, and the road is not muddy.
appearance.
The most representative baobab trees on the Baobab Avenue are supported by simple racks and sheds. The nearby indigenous people set up stalls selling baobab fruits and carvings, and there were also swimming water sellers.
Tourists of both sexes admired the magical tree under the baobab tree. Their vehicles were parked not far away. The sun was very hot. The local indigenous people selling goods and many tourists were hiding under the shade of the tree.
When they saw a car driving towards Baobab Avenue, both tourists and locals setting up stalls were very indifferent, and the photographer took a photo by the way.
The road was dry and dust was kicked up by vehicles passing by.
Le Yun didn't want to eat dirt, nor did she want others to eat dirt. She asked the driver to stop the car before the first baobab tree on Baobab Avenue, and got off the bus with Handsome Yan, carrying their luggage, and paid the fare.
We chartered a one-way car. The driver paid the fare and drove forward with a smile on his face. He went to places with many tourists to see if there was any business.
The car kicked up dust, blocking people's sight. When the dust dispersed, Le Yun put on her big backpack, carried her camera and took pictures while walking, observing and collecting data on the bread trees.
Yan Xing only carried his own bag. His bag was not light. It contained twenty kilograms of rice, as well as a lot of food and water. The total weight was nearly seventy kilograms. In his opinion, the weight was quite light. Carrying nothing
There was no pressure, so I was carrying my boss's bag, a small backpack tied around my waist in front of me, and holding the camera hanging around my neck, snapping shots of the little loli walking on the road.
The first section of the Baobab Avenue is not interesting. You have to walk for a while to reach a place with dense trees. The most beautiful place is not only rows of tall baobab trees, but also a lake next to the road. During the rainy season,
Seasonal puddles will also appear on the roadside, and they will dry up without replenishing rainfall during the dry season.
Most of the tourists are concentrated in the rows of baobab trees. Many people want to wait until dusk to take sunset shots. Most of the cars are parked under the trees on the roadside. Some tourists go to the other side of the lake, and some tourists rest or play under the tall baobab trees.
Tourists usually travel in groups, even if they are traveling by themselves, it is usually a small group. If a small group has a common hobby, they can communicate under the baobab tree. People form groups, which is very lively.
Seeing the two new tourists carrying bags, many tourists smiled kindly.
The baobab tree can bear fruit three times a year, which is enough to provide people with food and clothing. Therefore, in some places in Africa a long time ago, residents did not need to prepare anything when their children were born. They only needed to plant a few baobab trees and wait for the children to grow up.
The bread tree also bears fruit, so you don’t have to worry about running out of food in your life.
There are many fruits hanging on the branches of the baobab tree. The tree is so tall that when you look up, the fruits you see are very small. Because there are no patches of primeval forest near the baobab tree avenue, there are no lemurs who love the baobab fruits.
.
Seeing the fruits on the tall trees, Le Yun said: "..." Yeah, there are so many fruits and the leaves are so tender. It is rare that there are flower buds between the branches and leaves of two tree crowns. I really want to climb the tree to pick flowers, fruits and leaves.
!
So many people climb trees to pick fruits and leaves without paying any attention to reality. They have to hide their little plans silently in their hearts, scan and observe each baobab tree, analyze their data, compare it with the baobab trees in their own space, and take a look at them.
What nutrients are missing?
While observing, I also smiled with the friendly and smiling tourists. Everyone took photos with each other as the background, or took photos of local indigenous vendors.
After studying the tall and tall magical trees that grew toward the sky, Le Yun went to a stall selling breadfruit and carvings to ask about the price. She first asked in French, but felt that the price was too high, so she changed to bargaining in the local ethnic language.
The locals who set up stalls basically spoke French, and some also knew English. When tourists spoke in French, they also used French to communicate. When girls with oriental faces negotiated prices with themselves in the island's common national language, they were extremely surprised.
Communicate with tourists in local language.
The vendor and the girl were having a lively conversation, and many tourists came close to see how they were talking. When they saw the girl with an oriental face, she took several monkey-faced tree sculptures with bottle bellies and gave them only a few dozen dollars.
I was very surprised about the knife. I asked the little girl to help me negotiate the price.
Two are tourists from country D and can only speak German; two are from country E, have average English and can only speak Russian; two are from the Arabian Peninsula and can speak Arabic and simple English; several are on group tours and come from
American continent, only English.
Many tourists were interested in the carvings of baobab trees with various shapes, such as the "Lovers' Tree", "Twin Trees", "Bottle Belly Tree" and so on. The merchants were asking for very high prices, which made them hesitate to buy.
Listening to the tourists who came to catch her as a translator, Le Yun was sweating loudly as she talked about which wood carvings she wanted from which stall. In line with the principle of "helping others", please be patient, one by one.
Come, starting from the booth closest to you, and whoever you like will come.
When they learned that the Oriental girl was not only proficient in the local language, French and English, but also German and Russian, several tourists were greatly surprised. They were as enthusiastic as meeting fellow countrymen and dragged the girl to act as a translator for them and bargained for a price.
Having the opportunity to practice oral expression and the newly learned language, Le Yun was also happy to be a translator. She followed people to see the goods sold by merchants and bargained in the local language. She haggled wildly and made the merchants glare at each bargain.
Just smile to express helplessness.
The little loli always wins a lot of love wherever she goes. Yan Xing almost wants to flip the table. He finally accompanies the little loli on the trip, but in the end, the little loli becomes someone else’s translator and tour guide. If he falls, it’s hard to live!
Seeing a few tourists happily dragging the little loli to shop, he secretly lost a lot of money. Of course, he dared to secretly dislike and complain, and did not dare to bother the little loli to bargain and negotiate with people from all walks of life.
The joy of communication among professional people.
Le Yun went with a few tourists to visit several vendors' stalls, and everyone got what they wanted. She completed the translation work, said goodbye to everyone, and moved on with Handsome Yan to see other baobab trees.
The little Loli returned to her side by herself, and Yan Xing hurriedly ran with her to avoid being "cut off" again. They walked and took photos while walking through a section of the avenue of monkey trees near the lake to see the twin baobab trees.
We also went to see the world-famous "couple" baobab tree that represents love.
After admiring some of the most famous baobab trees, the two of them turned away from the avenue and walked towards a plain full of green plants. They passed through a green space with trees and stopped under a tall baobab tree far away from the avenue, where they would spend the night.
A place to camp.
There are grassland locusts in the rainy season. They are very hateful creatures. Le Yun doesn't like them. She first checks the surroundings, takes out a bottle of medicine and sprinkles some powder to repel insects. Then she takes out a tarp to lay on the ground and puts it in her backpack.
After putting down her luggage, she jumped into the bushes to find dead branches and grass stalks. After getting a small handful, she got out of the bushes and put them in the sun where the sun shined. Then she went into the bushes to find firewood.
Digging plants secretly.
Most tourists are afraid of locusts and will not run into places full of vegetation to play. They are far away from the main road and are basically safer. Yan Xing also crawls into short trees to find dead branches and leaves that can be used as firewood.
The two of them got into the tree and searched around for an hour. They found a bunch of dead branches and grass stalks, and put them in a ventilated place to dry. The little Lolita looked for edible wild vegetables, and handsome guy Yan dug up a piece of vegetation.
, make a place for a fire, and wait until the sun sets before pitching the tent.
Le Yun ran to dig up plants and made some space. After digging a handful, she took it to the area where there was stagnant water and washed it. Then she returned to the camping area and packed it in bags. She would use clean water when cooking.
Clean.
Many tourists who visit the Avenue of the Baobabs return to the city after visiting for a while. Only those who insist on taking pictures of the sunset and the baobab trees insist on not leaving. At dusk, residents return to the village and pass by the avenue, and vendors also close their stalls.
There are cows, sheep, cows and horses, and local people carrying things on their backs, creating a beautiful scenery.
When the sun was not shining enough to dry firewood, Yan Xing wrapped the dead branches used as fire starters in tarpaulins and ran with the little Lolita to admire the pictures of residents returning home at night and take photos.
When the sun goes below the sea level, the crowns of the tall monkey trees turn gray from a distance, and the light on the entire avenue is very dark. The last tourists left reluctantly, and the lights of the cars faded away.
the further away.
After the last car was gone, Le Yun sneaked to a huge bread tree on the avenue and wandered around to study it. She took off her shoes and climbed up with the tree in her arms.
"Little Lolita, you don't want to climb up to pick breadfruit, do you?" Yan Xing almost jumped up. Three little Lolita couldn't even hug the tree. How dare she climb?
"There are flowers on this tree. I'm going to pick them and study them." Le Yun clung to the tree trunk and climbed up like a frog.
"You tell me where it is, and I'll pick it for you. Come down quickly." Yan Xingsheng was afraid that the little loli would drop it by mistake, and his heart was raised.
"If you can't find it, don't make any noise or turn on the lights. If you reveal your whereabouts and someone finds out and delays my business, I won't be done with you." Le Yun didn't care about handsome guy Yan's calls and moved up.
