travel starts with photography

Chen Xing is no stranger to hot searches. He has been on the board more than once in China, but he has never won the first place.The closest one came to the second place. This was created by the cooperation of the domestic tourism industry. Unfortunately, it was lost to a traffic star.
It's kind of a pity.

Chen Xing only dared to slander in his heart, because he was afraid of being scolded if he said it out.

And it seemed that he valued this thing too much.

This kind of regret was actually made up for in Iceland. Just put a Kongming lantern and it became a trending search?

Then tomorrow I will buy a kite or fly it there, not to mention another hot search number one, third and fifth, can I think about it?
Forget it, it's too cheap.

Chen Jiaqian said: "I see that many people on the Internet say that they want to go to Auntie's place to buy Kongming lanterns. Haha, that's all right now. You can also attract a lot of business for Auntie and the others. Next time you go there, maybe you can eat for free." Hot pot."

"Unexpected situation, by the way, where are you?"

"Me? We are watching some children's performances at the Old Port. They are very cute. Do you want to come and play?"

"never mind!"

Chen Xing immediately refused.

Some people who are old or married may prefer children. People around the age of 20 like Chen Xing are really hard to like. He thinks he might as well stay here to watch the parade, at least every person who walks through the street Everyone feels very fresh to him.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xing looked around again.

Still no one pays attention to him, obviously he has not done any disguise, not even wearing the mask that is inseparable in China.

This hot search, so be it.

Continuing to watch the parade, there are already some private organizations or individuals passing by at this time. Although the masks of some ghosts look scary, the figures under the sheets or cosplay clothes are bulging forward and backward, very attractive.

If there are such monsters in reality, it seems that it is not a big problem to encounter them once or twice?
Chen Xing stood a little tired, and slowly moved to the back wall to lean against. While playing with his mobile phone and chatting with his friends, he watched the parade in front of which almost no one had passed by. Nothing new.

Some people around also joined in at this time, pulling banners they wanted to express, some of these banners expressed love, and some scolded the company boss.

Anyway, these people are all wearing masks, wearing clothes that they don't usually wear, and they don't worry about being seen out.

There is a saying that when you put on a mask, you take off the mask?

A mug full of beer suddenly stretched out from the side. It should have just been poured. The hops were still blowing out vigorously, and the aroma of malt was very strong.

"List?"

He also called Chen Xing's name uncertainly, but Chen Xing probably knew that he was looking for him, so he took the beer first and said, "Hello, Chen Xing, who are you?"

"An ordinary Icelander," he said with a smile.

Then he clinked a glass of beer with Chen Xing, drank half of the glass of beer in one gulp.

He is about the same height as Chen Xing, about 1.8 meters tall, and looks very strong. Even winter clothes can't hide his muscular body, and he has a very free and easy temperament. This kind of person says that he is just an ordinary person, Chen Xing I won't believe it.

But there seems to be no harm.

Chen Xing also directly drank half a glass of beer. If it was just beer, Chen Xing can still drink at the moment. Give him a little time to digest and he can drink for a long time.

"readily!"

Seeing that Chen Xing could drink so much, he happily patted Chen Xing on the shoulder, and then introduced himself.

Eros Einzbern.

Occupation is ice hockey player.

Chen Xing had heard of ice hockey before, but had never seen it before.Not to mention China, ice hockey is a very niche sport even in France. In the whole world, the only countries that like this kind of ice sports the most are the Nordic countries.

Airos saw Chen Xing on the Internet, and he was deeply impressed by Chen Xing.

I saw it on the news yesterday, and saw it on the trending search this afternoon. It's hard not to remember it.

The hustle and bustle outside gradually dissipated. Chen Xing, who had time, also took advantage of Eros' invitation and entered a bar. After drinking two glasses of beer, he left this bar and walked two steps into another bar.

This kind of bar shopping is as visual as a girl visiting a clothing store, and it can be regarded as the most unique scenery in Reykjavik.

The atmosphere of the Nordic bar is very good. As mentioned before, the bar is equivalent to the most important social point for the Nordic people. People who get acquainted in a bar are like classmates, and the bar is like a class. very familiar.

And there is no charge to enter these bars.As for tourists, you can walk into multiple bars in Reykjavik in one night, feel the different 'class' cultures in these bars, and find the most suitable place for you.

There are so many bars here that there is always someone who understands you.

Even if it was an extreme social horror, Chen Xing kept changing bars and found a lot of people, but no one spoke at all. Everyone just drank, read books, played with mobile phones, a place like a teahouse and coffee shop.

………………

After living like this for a few days, when December was about to enter, Chen Xing boarded a bus and went to Brundios to watch Al Orlando's bicycle race.

This is a small town located in the northwest of Iceland. It usually provides various infrastructure services for tourists traveling along the No. 800 Ring Road. The population of the town is only more than [-], which is not a very eye-catching city.

But this is the place where more than 11 tourists stay in November every year.

For, of course, the annual Icelandic Dark Night Snow Hell Endurance Race.

Western names always like to have more words and more elements. The Icelandic competition includes conditions such as night, snow, and endurance races, plus the sentence "hell" representing the difficulty. One can imagine how difficult this competition is.

Riders have to start from the snow-capped mountains at an altitude of 3000 meters, ride all the way down, and finally end in this small town at an altitude of more than 400 meters.

Not to mention getting a ranking without any strength, anyone who can run the entire game is considered a master.

Chen Xing and Ai met at a restaurant in town.

The race will start tomorrow, but Ai, who has been here for several days, is already fully armed and looks like a racing driver, except for a helmet.

Chen Xing saw him immediately when he walked into the restaurant.

"Why are you dressed like this? Did you go out for training today?"

"No, players have been prohibited from going up to survey the route since yesterday, so that there will be a thick enough layer of snow tomorrow."

Chen Xing had no idea about bicycle racing. This was the first time he watched it, so he asked, "Why is there snow? Don't you sweep away the snow during the race?"

"Sweep away?"

Ai looked at Chen Xing and said, "Now I know you are a real novice, of course the snow is left on purpose, in order to let the racers find the most suitable route in the snow, How could it be swept away by you."

"O... so."

Chen Xing also smiled.

"Anyway, you can just watch my brother's performance tomorrow. I can't say the champion. The top three should be fine. I heard that there will be official reporters to interview and broadcast on the news network. As my only cheerleader, maybe You can also show your face."

Iorlando is not an unknown type in the circle of cyclists. The audience who will be present this year will definitely have his fans, but it doesn't matter to him. Anyway, the only friend who really comes to support him is Chen Xing one person.

"Forget it, I've already shown my face."

Chen Xing was a little speechless, and told Ai the story of his time in Iceland.

Ai has been training these days. I really didn’t know that Chen Xing came to Iceland and had such a wonderful few days. He also visited the news on the LOL game, and flew some shit on the trending search. This is a bit of a coincidence Well, the news in Iceland is so good?

Why do you suddenly have no expectations of winning an award?
After returning to the hotel where he was renting, Ai Cai patted his face to cheer himself up and said: "Come on, Orlando! You didn't come to the game to participate in the news broadcast. It doesn't matter if the news is good or not. Have a good ride!"

The next day.

Today, a finish line was built outside the small town of Brentios. Chen Xing went there early in the morning and saw someone installing a laser on the door frame of the finish line to detect who came first from the same batch of people who rushed to the finish line.

There are also several large screens, which will broadcast the live broadcast at that time.

Most of the tourists watched the race near the finish line, and a few people followed the tour guide to other safe places on the route to wait. Although they could not see the runners crossing the line, they could pass through those runners with difficulty. where you can shoot your own video.

Today's game will be broadcast live.

There are three sources of live broadcast images, one is the two helicopters found by the competition organizing committee, the other is the cameras that have been placed at various points in advance, and the third is the sports cameras on the helmets of the contestants. Everyone has this camera.

At that time, they will find some wonderful pictures and put them on the TV screen at the finish line.

There were more than 700 riders participating in the competition. Chen Xing found Ai's name on this leaflet, and the starting position was pretty good. According to Ai himself, judging from his starting position, as long as the route is correct, then Can crush all the way to win the game with the first attitude.

However, there are too many variables in the snow race in the dark.

The lights at the finish line were brightly lit, and with the countdown of three two one in the speaker, the contestants set off like arrows off the string.

The helicopter angle used in the first shot, the helicopter flies very high, because flying too low will affect the riders’ competition, bicycle racing is not as resistant as rally racing, even if the plane flies back and forth at a height of more than ten meters There will be any impact, but the impact on the bike is huge.

So the plane flew relatively high, and more than 100 people appeared in the camera for a while.

Many off-string arrows just take a few steps, and they fall down with a bang, but it doesn’t matter if you fall down once or twice in the endurance competition, and you can get a good ranking if you recover the game state earlier, so you can see it in the screen I saw the pictures of those riders who fell, but immediately stood up and rode their bikes.

Chen Xing looked for Ai among the group of people.

I didn't see it, I should have run to the front.

Ai's position is two rows in front, and he can rush faster without anyone in front of the start, and has entered the first big downhill without falling down.

Chen Xing watched the performance of these players back and forth on several monitors.

During the live broadcast, there were not many introductions to the players, but there was a very good commentator, who seemed to know every driver, and said the names without stumbling at all. Chen Xing couldn’t tell who Ai was on these TVs. But from the commentary, I know that Ai is now No.7.

Chen Xing searched on TV again, but finally gave up.

Don't look for it, just look at it casually.

If in Reykjavik you can still see some white sky in the afternoon, you can’t see it at Brundios at all, at most it’s the kind of state that is about to come out, and then And immediately returned to night.

Chen Xing didn't see their previous training, watched this match directly, and immediately found that the difficulty of this hell match was so high that the naked eye could see it.

The closer you get to the North Pole, the more profound the effects of the polar night.

The lights in front of the bicycles cannot allow these riders to observe too much of the environment, so they can only focus on the route they have found and keep running. The starlight still looks very bright, but they really cannot see too many things clearly.

No wonder it's called Hell Race, it's really hell.

There are already many ruts in the snow. For those drivers who are behind, following the route passed by the driver in front undoubtedly proves that the route is correct. Generally, they will not fall, but this also has a hidden danger.

That is, pressed snow is more slippery.

It is also a choice whether to find a new route by yourself or follow the path of others.

Anyway, at this time at an altitude of more than 3000 meters, hundreds of people are constantly experiencing falls, but the process of getting up and running forward immediately with the support of the car, or immediately straddling it and driving forward, is it dangerous? It's dangerous, but it looks like it really hurts.

"Won't their car break?" Chen Xing heard someone beside him say this.

This should be the first time I saw it, and I didn't understand anything.

Seeing that he was alone, Chen Xing said, "You came alone?"

"Yeah, I heard that there is a bicycle race here, so I came to see it. I live nearby."

"OK, I just know what you just said. One of these players is my friend. His bicycle frame alone costs more than 3000 euros, and other accessories are enough to buy a new car. Level wrestling shouldn't be a problem."

To be honest, Chen Xing was also shocked before he found out.

A bicycle costs several thousand euros just for the frame, which is a waste for someone like him who thinks it is expensive to buy a whole bicycle for 500 yuan.

The race of the drivers soon reached the gravel road section. At an altitude of more than 2000 meters, there was not much snow. Gravel roads and mountain paths gradually increased. At this time, there were fewer wrestlers, but there were also many shortcomings. Obviously...the road is too narrow for overtaking.

Chen Xing couldn't see where his friend was, so he could only look for it on a TV with real-time rankings on one side.

Ai is in the No.5 position.
