He and Dasha Talan went to Iceland to play for a few days, but unfortunately they came at the wrong time and failed to see the aurora. Instead, they went to Reynis Beach, which is known as the gate of hell. The scenery there really shocked him.
Part of the reason for traveling is to see the world, and part of the reason is to hide from Dili Reba.
The formalities in the United States have not been completed yet. She is still in England. She may be alone abroad. She is relatively lonely and often comes to him for dinner and chat. Lando thought, and took the initiative to stay away.

A game that Manchester United should have won by a large score, under the influence of key players injured and Ten Hag's substitutions too casually, achieved a difficult victory.
Leading by one goal, the advantage in the European competition is too small.
Two days later, in the 31st round of the Premier League, Manchester United played away against Nottingham Forest.
Some positions should have been rotated in the game. Because of the extensive injuries of the team, only Ronaldo was rotated in this game, and Martial replaced him.
Luke Shaw is injured, Malaysia is not in good form, and the left back for this game is Dalot.
Nottingham Forest is on the edge of the relegation zone. They played very hard in this game, but Manchester United is not a vegetarian. Anthony, who replaced the injured Rashford, ushered in an explosion in this game.
The compasses also bleed, one goal and one assist shined the audience, together with Lin Lingqi's goal in the first half, they defeated Nottingham Forest 3-0.
Manchester United had 4 games in April, and they have played five games in half a month. Finally, they ushered in some respite, and they played the second round with Sevilla 10 days later.
Lin Lingqi has played almost every game this season, and his playing time is only less than that of De Gea, Rashford and B Fei. This is a very heavy burden on his body. Now he has no pain in his head. It hurts. I have been playing games with minor injuries recently. I have performed very poorly, but I have been scoring goals. It is not good for Ten Hag to let him start.
Ten Hag is really not injured and does not change players. Sancho and Elanga can get up to about 10 minutes of playing time in each game. It is only recently that Rashford has the opportunity to play when he is injured. Otherwise, even this time nothing.
Now Manchester United players are playing with a sigh of relief. The four-line battle is still too reluctant for Manchester United's slightly thin lineup, especially at the critical moment at the end of the season. There are more and more injuries, and almost everyone has injuries. with wounds.
In fact, the best strategy for this season is to fight for the Premier League and the Europa League, give up the League Cup, and even the FA Cup is best played with a substitute and U23, but the season's winning streak has made Ten Hag change his mind. want everything.
Now Manchester United players can support up to play a good half-time goal. This phenomenon was vividly demonstrated in the game against Sevilla. In the second half, they were lucky. In addition, De Gea performed bravely and only lost two.
With their overall performance in the second half, it is possible to be defeated as directly as they played against Liverpool.
The subsequent schedule is intensive and all key games, wanting everything, may not get anything.
Manchester City's recent winning streak in the league has put a lot of pressure on them. If they relax in their breath, Manchester United may have to collapse at the end of the season.
After working hard for a season, there may be only one League Cup with the lowest gold content.
The good news is that the game against Chelsea was moved to May due to the conflict with the FA Cup semi-finals, and one game will be missed this month. The bad news is that Ten Hag does not want to give up the FA Cup, and he must be the main player again.
Lin Lingqi rested for a day and a half, started normal training, and then flew to Spain.
On April 4, in the second round of the quarter-finals of the Europa League, Manchester United will challenge Sevilla as a guest at the Peas Juan Stadium.
