Greece, Athens International Airport.
After a nearly 10-hour flight, Greece, which was 6 hours slower than China in the East Eighth District, was late at night, but there were still people coming and going at the airport.
"Just come here, I'm going on a tour, you have to transfer to your hometown, and we'll stop here."
In front of the gate, Lin Lan said goodbye to the international student brother who was on the same plane. The other party also smiled and waved.
"Boss, I wish you a pleasant trip and forget all your troubles as soon as possible! By the way, don't forget the Athens travel strategy I told you on the plane. Make sure that there is nothing wrong with this free trip!"
"Lend your auspicious words!"
After separating from each other, Lin Lan called a taxi and headed to the hotel that had been booked in the self-guided two-person tour. It was near Falilong Bay in the Aegean Sea. From the window or balcony, you could see the scenery of the waves hitting the cliffs. Include a buffet breakfast.
Well, she has enjoyed all the benefits of the two-person trip in this plan.
After dragging her suitcase into the hotel, Lin Lan saw two stray cats sitting not far away at the door. She was stunned for a moment, but walked straight towards the front desk without stopping.
After checking in at the front desk to get the room card, after being greeted by the waiter, he went to the corresponding room. Until he was alone in the double room, Lin Lan withdrew all facial expressions and collapsed in the big room with a tired face. On the bed, he let out a sigh of exhaustion.
In fact, how could it be so easy, how could it be possible to just smile nonchalantly and pass by.
If you are split up by your lover, even if you go back and try to keep your dignity in revenge on the spot, the injury you should have suffered before will not be less, unless you have never liked and cared about it.
From the moment when she found out that something was wrong, Lin Lan had never felt better.
Now that everything is over, she doesn't feel so happy.
The soft light poured down, and on the white double bed, the woman was lying on it and curled up in a ball, holding the hand of the quilt tightly. It was her head buried in the pillow and her shoulders that trembled silently.
…
The morning light filled the windowsill, and Lin Lan woke up from her sleep listening to the sound of the waves.
She slept very late last night, and she was tired from the journey and mentally exhausted, so that it was already past eleven o'clock when she opened her eyes, and she had already missed the time for the hotel's buffet breakfast.
She cursed again in her heart that the pair of dogs and men harmed her, and Lin Lan had no choice but to go out for food while clutching her empty stomach.
Fortunately, there are a lot of convenience stores and restaurants in this area that are convenient for tourists. She didn't go out for a long time to meet the needs of filling her stomach.
Filled with food and drinks, and with some prepared snacks in hand, Lin Lan began to wander around this unfamiliar land.
She walked on a clean and tidy street, surrounded by all kinds of specialty shops in addition to all kinds of necessities, and looking out at a large ocean and a pure white town.
Lin Lan resigned to travel, so coming to Greece to visit is not a peak time for Chinese people to travel, so I didn't see the scene of foreign tourists everywhere like the photos taken on the Internet.
I was thinking about whether to take the bus to the pure white town according to the instructions in the guide, when there was a burst of laughter next to me, still standard Mandarin.
"Hurry up, husband, the town in front is a holy place to watch the sea. I'm going there to see the Aegean Sea!" The young girl in a bohemian dress took the other half's hand and ran to the station with a happy face. She was so excited that she almost staggered the big men behind her.
"I know I know, you slow down, the town won't run there. Our honeymoon trip avoided the peak period again, and there won't be many people vying for your seat."
Her husband persuaded her, but unfortunately the girl didn't listen at all and kept shouting.
"We're going to take pictures there! You want to photograph me beautifully, you know!"
"Okay, my wife! Run slowly and be careful not to fall!"
The honeymoon couple swept past Lin Lan like a gust of wind, and at the same time blew away a little bit of her good mood when she got up.
In his heart, he pulled Shao Xiuye's dog and boy out and scolded him again. Lin Lan turned around with a sullen face and walked back towards the hotel.
Go to his strategy, go to his scenic town to see the sea, watch some wool, go there to watch couples eat dog food? Lin Lan decisively made a cross on the first leg of the trip.
When approaching the hotel door, Lin Lan heard the cat meowing, and subconsciously followed the sound, and saw two fluffy little guys lying on a landscape windowsill in front of the hotel, basking in the sun, and the security did not chase them away. Let them roll around freely. After noticing Lin Lan's gaze, the cats were not only not vigilant, but one of the three flowers jumped down and ran towards her.
"Meow—" Sanhua cat circled around her legs, and even rolled around in front of her to be cute.
Lin Lan knew that she didn't have a cat-sucking physique, but the food she was carrying was fine.
A minute later, the two cats ate the squid rings on the ground with relish. Lin Lan stood aside and watched, a little helpless and tolerant: "No matter whether they are foreign or domestic, they are all small things with sharp noses. Well, I'll go back first."
When she entered the gate, she heard the meowing from behind again, presumably to greet her.
If only I could understand what they were saying. For a moment, the thought came to her mind, but it was fleeting.
I failed to see the sea, but there is still half a day left. Lin Lan took out the travel strategy I wrote before, crossed out the first stop to see the sea in the small town of Oia, and set my eyes on the next one - it is said that tourists came to Greece A must-see attraction, the Acropolis.
"Everyone, come here, this is the very famous "Girl's Stone Pillar" in Erechtheion Temple. These six beautiful maiden stone pillars are symmetrical, with four in the front and one on each side..."
A Chinese tour guide with a Chinese tour group used a small speaker to introduce the main points of the sights in front of the tourists to the tourists skillfully in Mandarin. Lin Lan, who was listening behind, also listened with relish, and she moved with the team wherever they moved. , it is not at all conspicuous among a bunch of compatriots in the motherland.
Although it is not the peak tourist season, there are not too many Chinese tourists to Athens, but it definitely does not mean that there are none. Just like the newlywed couple who came to Greece for their honeymoon before, now there are also people signing up for this Greek group tour, and the fee is cheaper in the off-season. In a foreign country, everyone is more cordial to the compatriots from the motherland, who are also black-haired and black-eyed. Lin Lan is no one to take it seriously, and she is allowed to act together behind the team.
"The Erechtheion Temple has three temples, which are dedicated to Zeus, the main god of Greece, Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths. Speaking of this Erechtheion Temple, it also has a legend, according to legend It is the place where Athena, the goddess of war and Poseidon, the god of the sea, fought their wits to be the protector of Athens. At the time when the god-king Zeus put down his words and asked the two gods to provide mankind with the most useful thing as a matter of urgency, Poseidon bestowed the He gave a war horse, and Athena gave an olive tree. In the end, mankind did not choose war but embraced the olive tree. This is also the origin of the name of Athens, the capital of Greece.”
The tour guide led his team to move around the temple ruins, and his mouth never stopped. During this period, a cat passed by the tour guide's feet, attracting the attention of most people.
"Guide." A tourist interjected at this time, pointing to the cat that had just run away, and said suspiciously, "I've been wanting to ask before, there seem to be a lot of cats here?"
"This is normal." The tour guide replied immediately, "Cats are very popular in Greece. They have been a symbol of gods since ancient Greece. Everyone knows that in ancient times, many people around the world caused damage to mice. There is nothing to do with the epidemic, so the importance of cats is highlighted at this time. Egypt worships cats as gods, and the Greek side is the same. Does the moon god Artemis in Greek mythology know? She not only represents the moon , also represents the goddess of nature and hunting, and sometimes appears in front of people in the image of cats. Therefore, the moon god is also called the mother of cats, and people also call cats the cat of gods. Cats live very well in Greece, local People are very tolerant and caring towards them, and it is not surprising to see them in the temple."
A group of people suddenly realized, and Lin Lan nodded at the side, so it was, no wonder there were so many stray cats along the way, and they were not afraid of people at all.
"I will continue to introduce to you. Now we are going to the temple dedicated to Zeus. Everyone knows about Zeus, the god king, right? He is a well-known amorous god king in Greek mythology. Except for the seventh wife, he is also the only one. The queen of the main palace, Hera, he also had a relationship with many goddesses, fairies, and mortal women, and therefore gave birth to many gods or demigods. The moon god Artemis mentioned earlier is him and the sixth Born by his wife to nurture the goddess Leto..."
Lin Lan doesn't know much about Greek mythology, and now I'm shocked to hear the series of romantic affairs in the life of this god-king of Zeus. It's not enough to have seven wives before and after. The combination of a lover affair and an illegitimate child is a strengthening link, which is simply refreshing. Three Views. After the tour guide introduced some strange love histories of Poseidon, she no longer wanted to speak.
It seems that looking at ancient and modern China and foreign countries, men's fascination and affection are really something that has always been there. No matter how good and good their partners are, it does not affect them to continue to show mercy to the third and fourth or even more heterosexuals. The difference between a good man and a bad man is only that It's up to them whether they want to restrain themselves or not.
The tour guide didn't say much about the love history of these gods, but more mentioned the various amazing powers these gods possess, such as what they are proficient in and what they symbolize and so on.
"It's rare to come to Greece to see these ancient temples that have stood for thousands of years. You can try to come here and make a wish. Maybe there will be gods who are willing to listen to help you realize it."
At the end, the tour guide made a joke, and there was a burst of laughter in the tour group, but no one refused. Entering a temple when you see a temple, worshipping a god when you see a god, and making a wish at will is not a big deal for most people. If it comes true, everyone will bow to these ruins with a joking mood. , Lin Lan is also one of them.
- I hope all the scumbags in the world disappear!
To make such a wish in the temple of the scumbag god, she may be the most insincere of this group of Chinese tourists who have no sincerity.
