Looking down from the high cruise ship, although they could see some coral reefs, it was still a little difficult after all. When the ship sailed, it broke through the waves, blocking a large part of their vision.
But when they arrived at Green Island, they got off the ship and walked on the long L-shaped breakwater, and their vision suddenly became open.
"PaPa, can you hold my hand?" Although Xi Xi was holding her father's hand, stepping on the breakwater, which seemed to be floating on the sea, and listening to the sea below washing the pillars of the breakwater, the little girl felt very insecure and said weakly, "Don't let go."
Yang Yi was pulling Murphy onto the breakwater. Hearing Xi Xi's words, he turned his head and saw the little girl's nervous look, so he picked her up.
In her father's arms, Xi Xi's sense of security soared, and she could finally see the beautiful sea!
"PaPa, where are the big fish?" Xi Xi turned her head in confusion and asked.
"We'll see the big fish in the afternoon on that big boat. Let's play around this island in the morning." Yang Yi smiled and said, "Do you want to see the small fish? They're not as big as whales, but they're also very beautiful, and you can see the coral! "
"Okay!" Xi Xi regained her vitality, hugged her father's neck, and laughed.
Obviously, seeing the coral reefs on the breakwater was not the best experience. In Yang Yi's customized tour, there was a glass-bottom boat project. On the breakwater, they changed to a glass-bottom boat the size of a bus.
As the name implied, the bottom of the boat was replaced with transparent glass, and it was a bit like a submarine, the bottom of the boat was very deep in the water.
The tourists sat on small benches in the narrow passage in the middle. This seat was definitely uncomfortable, and it was a little crowded, but it didn't matter. The point was that they could look out of the glass windows on the left and right, as if they were also at the bottom of the sea.
Xi Xi was next to her father. As soon as the little girl came in, she was attracted by this magical "underwater world". She didn't have time to sit down, but clung to the glass and looked in surprise.
So the bottom of the sea was like this!
One stone after another, and then there were many small fish!
The scenery here wasn't the most beautiful. When the glass-bottomed boat sailed a little further away from Green Island and finally stopped on top of a coral reef, a beautiful picture unfolded in front of Xi Xi!
"Wow!" Xi Xi's eyes widened as she looked out of the glass window. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The bush-like corals were nothing special. At most, they looked like rockery in an aquarium tank. What dazzled Xi Xi were the colorful little fishes!
Some were yellow all over, some were red and yellowish, some were white mixed with red, and some were black and white like a zebra. The most beautiful ones were the little fishes that had many different colors on their bodies but were not messy!
They were not very big, about the size of a palm or a finger. They swam happily between the gaps of the coral reef, as if they did not care about the behemoths that passed by them … Of course, perhaps they were used to being watched.
"So beautiful! PaPa, they are even more beautiful than Xin Er's goldfish! " Although Xi Xi was actively telling her father about her discovery, in fact, she did not turn her head. Her line of sight had been firmly glued to these beautiful little fishes!
Murphy was also fascinated, but she did not just play by herself. She was also holding the four-month-old Tong Tong, so that he could also get closer to see the little fish.
The little guy's round eyes followed the fish swimming in front of him. After a while, his little head was attracted by another little fish and turned to look at it. After a while, he turned his head and looked at his mother, as if he also wanted to tell his mother about his discovery.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Murphy said with a smile, rubbing his little head intimately.
Yang Yi heard the noise, turned around with the camera, and took photos of Murphy and her son. Just then, the little guy was teased by his mother and opened his mouth, giggling. His pair of little dimples were very cute under the camera lens!
"PaPa, I also want to take photos of the little goldfish!" Xi Xi remembered what she had done around this time last year, and turned her head excitedly to ask her father for the camera.
The little reporter was officially online. She was holding the SLR camera. Although she was not very flexible, she was smart enough to use the small screen to take photos of the goldfish and the coral reef.
Looking at Xi Xi having fun, Murphy and Yang Yi looked at each other and smiled, then turned around and sat together with their shoulders leaning against each other.
…
If they wanted to see the whales, they had to go to the deep sea. Yang Yi and the others played on Green Island until eleven o 'clock, then went back to the cruise ship to eat buffet. After lunch, their luxury cruise ship set off again to the vast ocean.
However, it was not a good time to observe whales at this time of year.
In Australia, whales migrated from May to November every year, and it was easier to see whales, even giant humpback whales, when they went out to sea to observe in July and September.
Yang Yi and the others came at a bad time. Maybe they had some hope of seeing the minke whale, but luck was not on Yang Yi's side that day. The cruise ship had been sailing for more than two hours, and other than the seabirds skimming the surface of the sea, there were no signs of whales.
"I'm sorry, friends, but I have to go back!" The bearded captain came over, shook his head, and spread his hands as he spoke in the midst of everyone's regretful voices.
"PaPa, what did he say?" Xi Xi was confused. In fact, she could understand most of it, but she could not understand the deeper meaning of the captain's words.
"The captain told us that we did not see any whales, but we have to go back now. We can't wait until it's dark," Yang Yi said to Xi Xi.
"PaPa, why can't we see any whales?" Xi Xi's delicate little face showed a disappointed expression, which made people feel sorry for her. However, she did not make a fuss this time. Instead, she sat in her father's arms and asked softly.
"Maybe it's because the whale wants to leave a sense of mystery in front of you, Xi Xi, so that it can meet you again in the future," Yang Yi said with a smile.
"Really?" Xi Xi was a little surprised.
"Really, whales are very smart. They're different from fish. They're mammals like humans …"
"What's a mammal?"
The boring journey back passed quickly with her father's witty explanation.
However, just when Yang Yi thought that their journey in Australia was going to end so peacefully, the tourists on the deck suddenly cheered.
What happened?
A passionate black teenager ran to the cabin excitedly and shouted, "Hey! Guys, come and see, there are dolphins, a lot of dolphins! "
Yang Yi quickly picked up Xi Xi and supported Murphy, whose legs were a little soft after sitting for a long time. They walked to the deck and to the side of the ship where everyone was gathered.
They saw a group of black shadows moving up and down in the sparkling ocean under the sun.
"PaPa, where's dolphin?" Xi Xi had not seen it yet. The little girl hugged her father's neck and looked around anxiously.
"Look, there, there are dolphins!"
Before Yang Yi could finish his sentence, as if they had sensed Lady Xixi's arrival, the dolphins in the distance suddenly began to leap out of the sea one after another, drawing a beautiful arc in the air before diving back into the sea.
"Wow!" Xi Xi saw it this time. The little girl opened her eyes wide and excitedly hugged her father's neck. Her body also rubbed up as if she wanted to go higher to see more dolphins.
The dolphins were not afraid of human ships. They deliberately swam close to Yang Yi's cruise ship and then jumped out of the water again to dance.
At such a close distance, the dolphin's smooth body that looked like it was coated with oil, its short, silly beak, and the splashes of water that sparkled in the sun when they jumped were all clearly visible.
Yang Yi hugged Xi Xi with one hand and grabbed the camera with the other to take pictures. He felt that the dolphins' vigorous figures in the camera were very handsome!
Although Xi Xi looked greedily and forgot to speak, the little girl's eyes and eyebrows were full of joy. Her happy smile did not show any regret at all.
"Xi Xi, we saw dolphins. In fact, from a scientific point of view, we also saw a big fish!" Yang Yi said to Xi Xi with a smile as he watched the dolphins leave.
"Hee hee, because dolphins are also very big!" Xi Xi was satisfied to see the dolphins. She giggled and said to her father.
"It's not just because of that. Dolphins also belong to the category of whales. They are actually a little similar to whales …" Well, compared to the dolphin's dance, this science lesson was a little boring!
