Chapter 779 Travel
Bruno was enjoying a leisurely vacation on Cabbage Island, but in faraway Europe, the epidemic broke out and various sports events were repeatedly postponed.
欧洲当地时间3月17日，欧足联在总部召开视频会议，与欧盟55个成员代表一致达成意见：2020年第16届欧洲杯将推迟12个月进行，并完全取消2020—2021赛季的欧洲国家联赛。
The postponement of the 2020 European Cup will bring about a series of seismic "chain reactions" in international sports in the next two to three years.
Due to the spread of the COVID-6 epidemic in Europe, the five major European leagues have been completely suspended. According to the current situation, it is difficult to fully contain the epidemic before June. Due to the huge economic interests involved, it is almost impossible for national leagues to cancel the 2019-2020 season, because if the games of this season cannot be completed in full, it is likely to cause many clubs to go bankrupt.
Therefore, the European Cup gives way to the league to allow the latter more room for maneuver. This has long been a plan that all parties have strongly requested UEFA to implement.
Previously, the plan to play the European Cup in winter was mentioned by the media. However, judging from the current development of the epidemic, it is more feasible to postpone the European Cup to the summer of 2021.
This is the first time that the European Cup has been held in an odd year since its inception in 1958, and it is also the first time in the history of the European Cup that it has been postponed.
UEFA said that if fans who have purchased tickets are unable to attend the rescheduled European Cup, they will receive a full refund at the face value of the ticket.
………………
After UEFA announced that the 2020 European Cup will be postponed for one year, the English Football Association, which has always been known for its eccentricity, showed a rare follow-up and announced on the evening of the 19th local time that this season's Premier League will be postponed to no earlier than April 4.
As for when the game will be resumed, it depends on the development of the epidemic and an exact time cannot be given at present.
Considering that there are still nine rounds of the Premier League left, even if there are two games a week, it is impossible to play all the games in May, not to mention that Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Wolves still have European competitions and the FA Cup to play.
This means that the iron rule of "the season must end no later than June 6" established since the founding of the Premier League will come to an end in 1.
As a time traveler, Bruno knew that the Premier League games would be postponed until mid-June, which is three months later.
On Cabbage Island where Bruno was on vacation, the epidemic did not occur because it was isolated from the outside world.
Of course, this is also closely related to Bruno's requirement for everyone on the island to maintain high epidemic prevention requirements. Everyone must measure their body temperature every day, and those who go out to purchase daily necessities must undergo strict disinfection after returning to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.
………………
Before we knew it, it was April, and Cabbage Island welcomed four more guests: Liu Yan, Tang Yan, Zhang Jingying and An Yi. These four were all Liu Yimei's best friends, and they were all well-known stars in China.
They all rushed to the Bahamas from China after learning that Liu Yimei was pregnant.
They all attended Bruno and Liu Yimei's wedding and were Liu Yimei's bridesmaids, so they all knew that it was not just Liu Yimei who was marrying Bruno, but also Vanessa.
Although they didn't quite understand Liu Yimei's choice, they had a very close relationship with Liu Yimei and accepted this special marriage. They also had a very good relationship with Bruno.
Originally, they arrived in the Bahamas at the end of March, but due to epidemic prevention requirements, they did not end their quarantine until mid-April, and then were picked up by Bruno on a yacht and brought to Cabbage Island.
After a few more days of home quarantine, Bruno allowed the four to go out and play only after confirming that none of them were infected with the virus.
Cabbage Island is very small, with a total area of only more than 14 square meters, about 212 acres. It only takes about an hour to walk around the island.
However, Eleuthera Island, which is adjacent to Cabbage Island, is not small. There are many places worth visiting on the island. The most famous ones are the Glass Window Bridge at the north end of the island and Princess Island at the south end of the island.
………………
The Glass Window Bridge is located on the northern coastline of Eleuthera Island and is a natural bridge connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
The uniqueness of this bridge lies in the fact that the water on both sides of the bridge presents two completely different colors. One side is the deep blue Atlantic Ocean, and the other side is the bright blue Caribbean Sea. Looking down from a high place, it is like seeing two different colored glass windows, which is why it is named "Glass Window Bridge".
The existence of the Glass Window Bridge is due to the geological structure of the island. The northern part of Eleuthera Island is composed of a narrow strip of land, with the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea on both sides. The Glass Window Bridge just spans this strip of land, naturally forming a magnificent and unique landscape.
When you stand on the Glass Window Bridge, you can see the turbulent waves of the Atlantic Ocean and the gentle waves of the Caribbean Sea meet under the bridge. The contrast between the two is very sharp, with the Atlantic Ocean's waves rolling violently and the Caribbean Sea's tranquility and peace.
The sight is particularly spectacular in sunny weather, attracting many tourists to come and watch.
In addition to the scenery on the bridge, the natural scenery around the Glass Window Bridge is also breathtaking.
The coastline on the Atlantic side is a towering rocky cliff. The waves hit the cliffs and the splashing sea water forms beautiful waves.
On the Caribbean Sea side, there are long sandy beaches and blue waters, giving people a feeling of tranquility and relaxation.
Here you can stroll along the beach and admire the magnificent beauty of nature.
………………
When you imagine a dreamy island resort, Princess Caye in the Bahamas undoubtedly comes to mind.
This small island located in the south of Eleuthera is like a gem in the Caribbean Sea. It is sought after by tourists for its clear waters, fine beaches and abundant water activities.
Princess Island is the exclusive island of Princess Cruises. Many passengers feel like they are back home, feeling the warmth and comfort here. The atmosphere of the island appropriately reflects the leisure and joy of the Caribbean Sea. Whether it is food, leisure or water activities, it makes people linger.
Especially for those tourists who have been on a cruise for a week, the charm of Princess Island is everywhere.
The beach of Princess Island is one of its highlights. The long stretch of beige sand and the interlaced reefs are even more charming under the sun. For those who love sunbathing, this is an unparalleled paradise.
Put on your favorite swimsuit, lie on a sun lounger, and enjoy the sun slowly wrapping your body. You will feel the laziness and happiness that you can only experience in dreams.
Of course, Princess Island is not limited to sunbathing. There are a variety of water activities that are dazzling: banana boats, colorful water tricycles... every one of them makes people eager to try.
………………
In order to welcome Liu Yimei's four best friends, after their quarantine period ended, Bruno took them to travel all over Eleuthera Island.
The group started from the Glass Window Bridge at the north end of the island and finally arrived at the Princess Island at the southernmost end.
Due to the epidemic, there are not many tourists on Princess Island recently.
As soon as the tourist minibus that Bruno and his friends were riding in stopped, Anyi cheered and took the lead in rushing to the beach.
Among Liu Yimei's close friends, she is the youngest, and her childish look makes everyone smile.
Of course, An Yi is the same age as Liu Yimei. She is already 32 years old, several years older than Bruno, so she has always called Bruno "Little Bruno".
After getting off the car, Bruno felt refreshed. He saw green trees on the shore and a beautiful, flawless beach right in front of him. The tide had not yet fully risen, and from afar he could see the azure blue sea and white waves slowly rising onto the golden beach.
"Wow...it's so beautiful!" Several girls exclaimed sincerely. They took off their shoes and walked barefoot on the beach.
An Yi, who had gone ahead, turned around and shouted to Bruno, "Hey... Bruno, there are a lot of crabs on the beach. Let's go catch them together."
Bruno nodded, he squatted down, grabbed a handful of sand with his hand, and when he squeezed and slowly relaxed, the golden sand flowed down with the gentle sea breeze.
………………
Vanessa clapped her hands and called everyone over, saying, "The villa I rented is right in front. If you want to go swimming, go change into your swimsuits first."
She had prepared all the activities on the beach, and the girls followed her after hearing that.
In the tourist area on the shore there are rows of neatly arranged wooden houses, and this is where the villa Vanessa mentioned is.
After putting away their things, everyone changed into their swimsuits. When they came out, the beach was suddenly filled with beauty. Slender waists, white thighs...
The girls were all very pretty, and although not all of them wore bikinis, this was enough to attract everyone's attention on the beach. Regardless of whether they were men or women, young or old, everyone was paying attention to these beautiful young girls.
Bruno also changed into a pair of boxer swimming trunks. He was shirtless, revealing his strong muscles, looking very powerful.
After everyone arrived at the beach, Vanessa prepared many entertainment activities for everyone.
"Xiao Bu!" An Yi, who was already in the water, waved and called out, "Come on, it's fun..."
She kept jumping with the waves, and her breasts in the tightly wrapped bikini bounced up and down, which was very seductive.
When Bruno arrived at the beach, he dived into the sea and swam towards Anyi in one breath.
"Ah..." An Yi was picked up by Bruno in the sea, and then thrown into the water again. She waved her hands and screamed loudly. After barely standing firm, she kept paddling to drench Bruno, in revenge for Bruno's sudden attack on her.
At An Yi's call, Zhang Liangying also launched an "attack" on Bruno, splashing water everywhere.
Tang Yan, who followed behind, couldn't stand it anymore. She and Liu Yimei paddled water towards Bruno. Even Vanessa joined the battle, and everyone started a water fight in the sea.
When Bruno saw that he couldn't hold on any longer, he quickly swam towards the open sea and avoided their "attack".
After the girls lost their target, led by An Yi, they soon started splashing water on each other and everyone was laughing.
