Chapter 949 Relaxing in Edinburgh (2)

Yang Cheng and the others sat not far from the window, and ordered the most Scottish breakfast set - haggis, fried eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, as boring as British food, only haggis It is worth mentioning that this is a sausage-like dish made of lamb stomach, lamb heart, lamb lung, lamb liver and other materials. Known as the "national dish" of Scotland, it's a pity not to try it.

Luo Yue obviously didn't have much interest in offal food, and thanked her after a few bites, but Yang Cheng found it very appetizing, and it was particularly enjoyable with toast and simple eating.

Although the breakfast tastes good, Yang Cheng still feels that it is not as delicious as the food made in the kitchen in the castle. Of course, I did not come to this cafe for breakfast. Li Porter's situation is the main purpose of coming to the Elephant Cafe.

Just like the world of Harry Potter, life always needs to look forward to miracles.

Harry Potter fans of various skin colors and accents enthusiastically expressed their joy and excitement to their companions, tasting the coffee Rowling had drunk, as if expecting to meet her characters in the next second .

Elephants are the theme of this cafe. You can see the shadows of elephants everywhere. There are elephant dolls in different materials and styles in the glass cabinets. The chairs are elephants. There are elephant stickers on the glass and coffee cups. Looking at the elephant, at first Yang Cheng thought that the owner of the store just wanted to use the elephant as a symbol, but at first the manager who received them explained the story behind it:

Because people are greedy for profit and obtain ivory illegally, countless elephants are killed every year, and the former living environment is also destroyed. The boss specially set up a propaganda to protect elephants in the corridor between the front hall and the back hall of the cafe. The area is filled with newspaper clippings and pictures of elephants, and some pictures are graffiti by customers. In the childishness of Harry Potter, it adds a touch of exploration of humanity and life. I have to say that the owner of this store is a People who think about life are worthy of Yang Cheng's admiration.

After breakfast, I also visited the first scenic spot in Edinburgh. I got in the car and got in touch with the tour guide arranged by the travel company. The two parties agreed to meet at the foot of Calton Hill, where tourists from all over the world must go to Edinburgh. It's like you have to climb the Great Wall when you arrive in the capital.

Calton Hill is also an ordinary small mountain, located on the east side of the city of Edinburgh.

In the eyes of those tourists who have been to Edinburgh, there has always been such a metaphor. The position of Mount Carton to Edinburgh is equivalent to the position of Jingshan to the capital. It seems really important. Mount Carton is the highest in the urban area. Once you climb the mountain, you can see the scenery of the whole city.

There are also many small buildings on Calton Hill, sparsely arranged, although the scenery on Calton Hill is not as gorgeous as the buildings on Jingshan,

On the contrary, its simplicity and simplicity are more attractive to tourists. It is full of a sense of long history everywhere, which makes people solemn and solemn. Not only foreign tourists, but also locals will climb up Calton Hill in their spare time and lie on the lawn to bask in the sun. Overlooking the city where you live, this is a leisure way that can refresh your body and mind.

After meeting with the tour guide, the two sides avoided the cumbersome formalities. This young Scottish guy who had just been admitted to the University of Edinburgh used his spare time to work to make money, and Yang Cheng was not someone who was looking for special services, so it was not a matter of closeness. With a friendly greeting, the little brother entered the role.

"First of all, we can see a memorial pavilion, this is Dugald Stuart's memorial pavilion, as its name says, it was built to commemorate this great British philosopher, this memorial pavilion It was built in 1831 and has a history of more than 200 years today. The ancient traces on the memorial pavilion are the marks left by the old man of time. It is full of historical precipitation. The natives of Edinburgh like to come here to remember it very much. You know, great man, that Edinburgh is a city of literature."

Just as Yang Cheng was worried, the younger brother's Scottish accent is quite heavy. He should be from the northern highlands of Scotland, and his tone was chilled by the water of Loch Ness, but in fact he was very enthusiastic, and Yang Cheng could understand. But he sounded really strenuous, so he could only ask the younger brother to slow down and introduce with an accent as close to London as possible.

Naturally, the little brother would not refuse the request of the paying boss. Although it was awkward, he still tried to slow down his speech and try to speak out every word as completely as possible. "In fact, there are more than one memorial buildings on the mountain. There are also A Nelson monument, this monument is to commemorate the British admiral, who died heroically when he defeated the Communist Party and made indelible military exploits. He is of great significance to both Edinburgh and the United Kingdom. The same monument was also built in 1807, which is older and more mysterious than the Dugald Stuart Memorial Pavilion.

And every day at one o'clock in the afternoon, when the cannon is fired at Edinburgh Castle, a small ball will fall from the spire of this monument. Unfortunately, we may not be able to witness this magical scene today. "

The group continued to climb up, and the little brother suddenly pointed to a very eye-catching dome building in front of him and said, "Did you see it? That is the City Observatory of Edinburgh, which has a long history, but there is nothing to see inside. It is not recommended to waste time here."

Yang Cheng chose to follow the suggestion of his younger brother. He is the tour guide and the itinerary is completely arranged by him.

"When you come to Carton Hill, the most unmissable building or scenic spot is the National Memorial on Calton Hill.

See that incomplete building that resembles the Parthenon in Athens? That is the National Memorial, commemorating those Scottish soldiers who made military exploits and honored the country in the Napoleonic Wars.

This National Memorial was built in 1826, but it was not completed for various reasons at that time, so all we can see are some pedestals, stone pillars, etc., and they use the pillars to support the beams, that's it After such a long history, it is still very memorable. "

Under the wonderful explanation of the younger brother, Yang Cheng and Luo Yue browsed the ancient buildings of Calton Hill, and then it is natural to appreciate the most famous beauty of Calton Hill.

On a green grass slope that is about to reach the top of the mountain, many local people have picnics and sunbathe there. It is very pleasant. It seems that it is not a famous scenic spot, but a place for people to relax. It is difficult to see crowded people, and there are not many vendors. "Killing customers" here, this kind of quietness is a rare enjoyment.

According to the little brother, this slope is also a famous dating site in Edinburgh. Couples, young or old, lovers and couples come here to spend sweet time with delicious food and enjoy a different kind of romance, especially that always In the dusk that comes unexpectedly, lying on the soft and fragrant grass, overlooking the distant sky and sea, it is extremely romantic.

After discussing with Luo Yue, Yang Cheng and Luo Yue simply gave up the plan to visit other scenic spots, and paid the little brother enough to let people leave first. Hansen and the others were also sent far away, leaving only the two of them to enjoy the rare second. In the world of people, two bodyguards were arranged to buy delicious food and drinks down the mountain, and they stayed on the mountain for a whole day.

At the moment when the afterglow of the evening sprinkled down, the sea surface of the Forth Bay facing it was rendered in a charming light pink. Yang Cheng, who has traveled almost all over the world, also admired such a unique afterglow of the sunset, and the sea was sparkling. , and then looking into the distance, the ancient buildings on display in Edinburgh are also gilded by the afterglow of the setting sun. The tall bell towers, scattered castles and steeples are like a dreamland.

Looking up at this moment, everyone is fascinated by the blood-red sky, unable to extricate themselves. This is a picture of a beautiful sunset landscape. Just one glance at this kind of scenery will forever be engraved in my mind, for a long time I can't forget, even if the years go by, when Yang Cheng and Yang Cheng recall such beautiful scenery, they must still have something to say.

When the sunset slowly dissipated, Yang Cheng and Luo Yue intertwined their fingers, and with endless regrets, reluctantly embarked on the road to the airport. They had no plan to stay in Edinburgh, although faced with the situation, In fact, it should be gentle, but the call of reality forced Yang Cheng to quickly forget this dreamy day and quickly plunge into the tense real life.

When going down the mountain, Hansen received a report that Gareth Lopez was successfully captured without arousing anyone's suspicion. Now he has boarded the plane to London. Having his own aircraft leasing company has this advantage. Want to Aircraft are available at all times and can be kept to the utmost secrecy.

Eiffel was in charge of leading the team. Gareth Lopez was put on a black hood and injected with hypnotics. When he woke up, he probably didn't know that he had left the United States and arrived at the other end of the Atlantic Ocean.

The arrest process was not as difficult as imagined. In order to meet his lover, Gareth Lopez didn't bring a bodyguard at all, or he was comfortable for too long, and didn't think he would encounter any trouble, or he was very confident in his secrecy measures , I don't think I will be exposed. In short, except for the lover who yelled when he found someone invading, the whole operation did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

As for the woman who probably knew nothing, she was quietly disposed of out of the need for confidentiality. The scene was made into the illusion of a gas leak, and she died very peacefully. Even if F~B~I came to investigate, they couldn't find out One, two, three came out, there were doubts but no evidence, and the woman had no friends or relatives to help her appeal, and the final result was nothing, waiting to be cremated by the police and turned into a pile of ashes.
