Chapter 326 (1/2)
Darwin in northern Australia.
On the afternoon of January 13, a motorcade drove into the parking lot of the diamond beach Casino Hotel in the south of the city. Many passers-by could not help but stop to watch.
This is a fleet of 11 vehicles that has obviously experienced a long journey. In addition to eight off-road vehicles, there is also a tanker and two container trucks.
The bodies of 11 cars were all covered with dust, and several of them had obvious impact marks.
People with similar experience probably understand that this team has just crossed the Australian mainland. Both local and overseas travel enthusiasts like to have such an experience in Australia.
However, compared with other travelers, the motorcade can only be described as ”moat”.
Not to mention the top off-road vehicles, how many people travel directly with tankers and containers?
Simon pushed the door and stepped out of a Mercedes Benz g460, wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, and a pair of thick soled boots.
A whole week's journey through the mountains, rivers, valleys and Gobi deserts of the Australian mainland, coupled with his previous trip to Antarctica, a series of cold snow, frost, wind and sun, made Simon's complexion a little deeper and his whole body full of strong masculinity.
Probably everyone has the idea of traveling around the world.
Simon is no exception.
There was no such capital in the past. Now, since we have the opportunity, we must realize some of our dreams.
Driving an off-road vehicle in the endless red sandstone Gobi of Australia, this kind of feeling between heaven and earth is really exciting. After Christmas, it lasted more than half a month from Melbourne to Antarctica, and then across the whole continent of Australia. The enthusiasm of a 20-year-old returned in this trip.
Simon also made up his mind to take a similar trip every few years.
As Simon got out of the car, the hotel manager warmly welcomed him, and the people in the other cars also gathered around him.
A week of travel, a total of 31 people.
However, there are only six owners, namely Simon and Janet, David Johnston and his girlfriend Leslie whitter, Patrick Johnston and his girlfriend Sarah kiston, and others are bodyguards and drivers.
Since the conditions are sufficient, of course, we should give ourselves the best protection.
The natural environment in the interior of Australia is still very bad.
Simon didn't feel at all that the pleasure of traveling with more followers was reduced.
When Simon came to Australia this time, the first thing he experienced was a formal engagement ceremony. Raymond Johnston insisted that the old man was a very traditional person in his heart.
After Christmas is a trip to Antarctica, only Simon and Janet.
Of course, if not an entourage.
New year's Day is spent in the Antarctic cruise, there is a small honeymoon feeling.
Returning from Antarctica, we started the journey across the Australian continent.
Compared with the two people's world in the Antarctic Tour, this time they brought Johnston's fourth and fifth and their respective girlfriends.
David Johnston is not interested in traveling and claims to have a paper to do. After this reason was put forward, the whole family agreed to take him by force. Patrick Johnston wanted to keep up with Simon and Janet on their Antarctic trip, but he was rejected, so he won't miss it this time.
As everyone was greeting each other, Janet turned from the co pilot, raised her satellite phone and said to Simon, ”mom said that she has started to prepare dinner. Let's go back to the mansion for dinner in the evening.”
Patrick Johnston was whispering something in his girlfriend's ear. ”Why are you going back so early? Elder sister, why don't we go to Bali? It's very close to here. We can get there in two hours? ”
Janet glanced at her brother and said, ”you've been wandering for half a year, pat. When you go back this time, dad will arrange work for you.”
Patrick Johnston is actually three years older than Simon and has been studying at Birmingham University.
However, compared with David Johnston, a top student in Cambridge, Patrick has achieved nothing in his studies. After six years of mixing up, he still failed to get his degree. In addition, he was forced to retire by the school last year and then idled in London for more than half a year. At the end of the year, he was forced to go home by the old man.
Janet, indifferent to Patrick's request, wiggled her index finger and said, ”for an hour, take a bath, change clothes, and then we'll go home. If you don't go back, you'll have to stay here and drink seawater. Dad will stop your credit card. ”
Janet said, ignoring her brother's protest, took Simon's arm and walked to the hotel building under the guidance of the manager.
Darwin airport is near the hotel. More than an hour later, a group of people boarded Simon's Boeing 767 in the airport. The motorcade left here will be handled by others.After the plane took off smoothly, Patrick began to wander around the cabin restlessly, and then quickly returned to a small living room in the middle of the cabin, where everyone gathered.
After getting close to Janet and Leslie and looking at the office building decoration plan they are discussing, Patrick comes to Simon, who is chatting with David, sits down on the armrest of the sofa and says to Simon, ”man, I'd better go to Hollywood. You can arrange any job for me. It's better to pick up girls.”
Before Simon could speak, Sarah Kingston, who was sitting cross legged in the armchair next to him, looked up at Patrick and said, ”I can hear you.”
”Sarah, why don't we break up?” Patrick said
”Talk to your dad and my dad, asshole. Do you think I want to be your girlfriend?”
”We are all adults, Sarah. You should have the courage to resist your father's arrangement.”
”Sorry, I don't have the guts.”
Sarah Kingston said, simply ignore Patrick, bow to continue to play their game.
Simon listened to the conversation with great interest and glanced at the girl who was wearing a big black sleeveless T-shirt and was very punk.
Sarah Kingston is from the Kingston family, who also runs the mining business in Western Australia. The kiston family and the Johnston family are close friends. Sarah kiston's father, Louis kiston, and Raymond Johnston, are very iron friends. They are said to have carried guns and windows together, so there is the stereotype of baby kiss.
However, according to Janet, the two families didn't mean arranged marriage in the conversation between Patrick and Sarah. They were very happy.
It's just that Patrick and Sarah have been playing against each other since they were young. They fought when they were young and bickered when they grew up. Sometimes they had a cold war, but they never separated. Later, they went to Birmingham University together and stayed together for six years. Last year, they failed to get a place and were expelled from the school. They are a strange couple of happy friends.
love be scanty of words. Simon felt it through this period of time. The black haired man likes to paint heavy Eyeshadow. Some are reserved. Her right arm also has a famous Shakespeare saying ”all devils are here”. The girl in her relationship with Patrick is obviously the one who controls the field.
Patrick asked for no fun from his girlfriend, then forgot what he had just asked, and asked Simon, ”man, what's the code number of the front cabin? I'll go and have a look.”
Simon raised his chin to Janet. ”Ask your sister.”
Patrick looked over.
Janet said casually, ”123456.”
Patrick immediately jumped up, not forgetting his girlfriend: ”Sarah, would you like to come?”
Sarah kiston didn't look up. ”No way.”
Patrick ran out indifferently, ran back soon, and asked his elder sister in a hurt way, ”are you sure it's 123456?”
Janet gave him a white look: ”that's Simon's bedroom and me. What are you doing in there?”
Patrick exaggerated his hand and said, ”it's a third of the cabin bedroom. Do you play tennis in it?”
Janet simply ignored her brother, picked up a page of office design and showed it to Simon, saying, ”how about this one?
Denise studios in Los Angeles has already started to renovate.
Some time ago, Leslie Whitaker intentionally or unintentionally explored whether she could give herself a chance to practice design, and encouraged her boyfriend to help.
Leslie Whitaker majored in architectural design in Cambridge, mainly for the sake of inheriting her father's career. Because Leslie Whitaker's father opened an architectural design company in London, which is small, but not small. It's probably the kind of standard that can't undertake the design work of the whole danilisi studio, but it's more than enough to be responsible for an area of the administrative district.
Of course, danielis studio has been completed, only the subsequent interior decoration still needs to be designed.
That's what Leslie Whitaker wants.
