Chapter 1458 romantic surname asking for a monthly ticket
Although Yang Cheng and the others did not go to Bluff, they could not buy tickets even if they went there now. Because the Oyster Festival is so famous, people who love food and oysters all over the world will arrive at Bluff on this day. If they don’t make an appointment in advance and want to buy tickets on site, it is basically impossible to complete the task.
Fortunately, Kaikula is not short of Bluff oyster supply. Yang Cheng and the others spent a lot of money to buy a batch from a nearby store that still had a small amount of stock, so that the store could cook on site.
Although the four lobsters entered the stomachs of four people, the full lobster meat was enough to make you eat it. If it weren't for the fact that Bluff's oysters were too famous, Luo and Kate, who had already eaten a little bloated, would have refused to touch the knife and fork again.
Yang Cheng and William are fine. The men's appetite is quite large. Today they are skiing and driving long distances, and they are hungry and exhausted. They can eat two lobsters.
After enjoying a delicious and hearty dinner, we got back in the bus and went to the hotel we booked on the road. After a day of tiredness, the four of us were not interested in organizing after-dinner entertainment. After chatting for a while, we went back to our room to rest.

Whales are mysterious, huge, smart and tough mammals. Various legends about whales are circulating around the world. Going out to sea to watch these behemoths with your own eyes has even become one of the many people's bucket lists.
Whale species are widely distributed, and can be seen from the equator to the north and south poles. Whale watching groups can be provided in many countries and regions.
But only Kaikura can easily see the most brutal and powerful killer sperm whale in the ocean.
New Zealand is an island country with a long coastline, which means that as long as you are lucky, you may see whales on any beach. But only Kaikura has turned whale watching into an industry, or even a major pillar industry, because there is no need for luck here.
Because a few kilometers away from the coast, there is a trench of 1,600 meters deep, and it is also a place where the cold and warm currents meet. Anyone who has studied high school geography knows that the cold and warm currents meet represent a rich fishery resource. With a stable food source, there are naturally sperm whales that have lived here for many years, as well as other whales that have passed by foraging.
So in Kaikura, whale watching can be watched regardless of season, because the unique nearshore trench terrain attracts a group of sperm whales to prey here for many years and even settle here. The locals joked that zf should be asked to issue green cards or passports to those sperm whales. The big guys who have created huge economic benefits for the locals over the years are not scary in the eyes of the locals, but they think it is very cute;
With the existence of this group of whales, Kaikura can naturally develop related industries. After years of research, it can even reach a 95% success rate of whales. As long as the weather is normal, it is extremely low-probability event to not see whales in Kaikura after going to sea.
It is said that sperm whales that have been here all year round will use echo positioning to feed in the deep sea when they prey. According to this characteristic, the instruments on the whale watching ship can find it according to the sounds it makes. However, in order to protect these elves of nature, the Kaikura people will never take the initiative to release sonar to lure them out, but only listen to them with an underwater earpiece. This process will not interfere with whales, which is different from ordinary sonar.
Of course, only sperm whales can use this method.
In order to better protect them and to allow this business to continue for a longer period of time, the New Zealand Marine Protection Law stipulates that whale watching ships must actively maintain a distance of more than 50 meters from whales, and violations will be severely punished!
Yang Cheng and his team gathered in the hotel lobby at 8 o'clock in the morning and drove to the dock to prepare for going out to sea. They booked a whale watching ship about 18 meters long. It was not big, but it was enough to sail near the sea.
The weather is very good today, with clear sky and no slight turbulence on the sea surface. It is the most perfect reflection of the word "calm and calm".
According to the agreement, Yang Cheng and the others met the captain who came to greet him at the dock, a fat uncle in his 50s. He has a very romantic surname, Montgomery, but he prefers people to call him Jeff!
The fat uncle Jeff was very interesting. When he learned last night that the chartered boat customer he was going to receive today was His Royal Highness Prince of Great Britain, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. With his thick dark circles, he arrived at the dock at around 5 o'clock. He carefully checked the viewing boat several times, and after confirming that there was no problem, he was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the guests.
William once again showed the prince's affinity and patted Jeff on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be nervous, just treat me like an ordinary tourist, and this is my private itinerary with my friends, so don't worry about etiquette."
Having said that, Jeff was still so nervous that he finished speaking in three sentences. From time to time, he tried to ease the atmosphere with a cold joke that was as cold as the Antarctic sea. It was obvious that he failed.
Yang Cheng really wanted to cooperate and smile, but sorry, he really couldn't laugh, or he really couldn't find where the laugh point was.
However, Jeff's nervous look was full of sweat, which made him laugh.
He couldn't help but joke, "Jeff, you haven't slept all night. Are you sure you can still drive the boat and lead us to successfully find the whale?
You know, according to regulations, if you can't see whales this time, you can return 80% of the fee to us."
Speaking of his major, Jeff finally calmed down and patted his chest and said, "Sir, please believe me, if I can't find those big guys in such good weather, I would rather quit my job voluntarily!
Moreover, my skills in driving are the best in our entire fleet. I was born on the coast of Kaikura since I was a child. I know every piece of the sea here. Even if I close my eyes, I can drive the boat out and drive it back!"
Luo was amused by Jeff's exaggerated actions and couldn't help asking, "Can you really close your eyes?"
Jeff was speechless. Every time he brags so much, everyone cooperates to praise him for being powerful. It seems that this is the first time someone asked him back, how should he answer this?
Seeing his confused look, Yang Cheng stepped forward and patted him, "Sorry, my fiancée is joking with you again. Even if you dare to open your eyes with your eyes closed, we will not dare to do it!"
William and Kate also laughed happily. Jeff's embarrassment made them feel better, and they were in a good mood.
