The first time I went to a developed country, the first time I traveled abroad with my parents, the first time I fed seagulls by the Pacific Ocean, the first time I slept in an RV, the first time I climbed out in the middle of the night to see the stars, the first time I got sunburned, and the first time I was chased by a police car, all in New Zealand.
? ? A car with a kitchen, sofa and bed is the most enviable means of transportation for me to ride for eight hours at ordinary times.
However, on the first day we picked up the car, our tire was flat.
At that time, I was still immersed in the excitement of the first car, thinking that if I could sleep on the road, I wouldn't have to get up early in the morning.
It's just that the abacus didn't take long to feel the body start to jump, like sitting on a tractor and hanging up. ...
I've heard a lot of puncture accidents, all kinds of rollover explosions, such as do or die. We suddenly became nervous, and all the possible things went through our minds. Please God, please God. ....
Fortunately, we can stop the car, get off safely, call the car rental company calmly, and then open a bottle of Erguotou to press the alarm. ....
It should be an episode, but fortunately it was slow, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here writing this article. ....
However, I have always been an explosive person. Apart from being more cautious and paying attention to safety, I naturally won't take other unpleasant things to heart. The scenery is so beautiful, this little excitement and adventure should be regarded as interesting memories of the trip ~
In fact, the most important thing in RV travel is not to dare to visit scenic spots, but to stop at the beautiful lake on the road, move out the tableware, set the oven, and watch the lake ripple while eating barbecue.
? ? We continued northward along the west coast, and the temperature gradually cooled down, accompanied by beautiful scenery all the way. We don't need to travel or even have any destination, but we have to arrive at the RV camp at night because the RV is not allowed to stay out for the night.
If there is one color to describe New Zealand, it must be blue. No matter where you open your eyes, you can see the blue water and the white clouds in the sky reflect each other. God poured all the blue on this land.
? ? At the RV camp
After staying at Greymouth's camp, my mother gave me the work of signing in every day. Even so, I still don't know how to pronounce the word RV accurately.
It's always ambiguous. Fortunately, foreigners can completely grasp my various pronunciations, probably thinking that I am speaking a dialect. ...
In fact, I have tried to find his correct pronunciation, but every time I swear, they always ask me again with another pronunciation. I have been confused by them, but I finally found an excuse to comfort myself: maybe they speak a dialect. ...
Just like Shanghai dialect and Beijing dialect, we can't understand it. ...
? ? In the camp, each RV must have its own location, and a charging pile will be connected behind it. We can only go to the wild during the day after charging at night, so our only and most important task every day is to get to the next camp to occupy favorable terrain.
Because our destination is random, it is totally useless to book in this way. This is probably the legendary trip. ...
? ? The camp is at the seaside, only 10 meters away from the coast. Even if you lie in the car at night, you can hear the sound of the waves. When you open the window at night, you can see the stars.
There are only a few people on the long coastline, dark gray sand and large and small black stones. Although it is not as attractive as Silver Beach, sitting on the vast coast watching seagulls take off and sketching beer is probably the most leisurely and happy trip. You don't have to go to a restaurant to eat western food that you are not used to. You can pick up scrambled eggs with tomatoes made by your mother with one chopstick.
Sunburn in Queenstown
By the time we arrived in Queenstown, the temperature had probably dropped to more than ten degrees, and the thin coat could not save us at all. At that time, our greatest wish was to live in a warm house.
The small electric heater in the RV is just like nothing. It takes courage to sleep every night. At that time, I even secretly vowed never to rent a car again.
So when we are in Queenstown, we don't want to stay in the car all day, go canoeing, go to a private farm, go to see a paraglider, and then get a tan with my fair skin that I have been proud of for a long time.
? ? My mother suggested that I go skydiving, but I was still timid at first, so I chose Funyak Safari by mistake.
And people, never dare to be embarrassed. Before leaving for canoeing, I was narcissistic in front of the mirror for a long time, lamenting how I could be so white and not tanned!
So I got carried away and got on the boat without sunscreen.
? ? Funyak Safari in Queenstown, New Zealand was actually listed as an adventure project earlier, but in recent years it has gradually improved its safety.
Our whole process is: jet speedboat-canoe-forest lunch.
Jet speedboat was first listed as a high-risk project because of its extremely high speed, but it has been changed to low-risk in recent years.
We set out with three boats, probably for safety reasons. We won't spread out too far, and even stop to wait for our partners who haven't caught up yet.
The speedboat broke down halfway, which I don't think will happen often, but it happened to us again. Fortunately, I found that the timely preparation did not affect my mood at all, and everyone laughed it off. Since you have chosen an adventure project, it is probably an adventure, right? Ha ha.
Summary: The episode of this trip is really unusual.
? ? When the jet speedboat is on the rapids, it will keep jumping and swimming, splashing at an extremely fast speed, and the oncoming wind will make us almost unable to open our eyes.
In order to be more exciting and interesting, we sometimes wave our tail wings between rapids, and then make a 180 degree turn, just like being thrown out of the gravity of the earth.
When we haven't recovered from the speed of the speedboat, we will go ashore. Even though we wore thick clothes and a life jacket that day, we staggered ashore and were knocked unconscious by the strong wind. We can't remember what happened just now.
And our lovely guide has prepared the canoe, and he will start physical labor before he can slow down. ...
? ? Speaking of canoes, he is the chief culprit of my sunburn. As we all know, the ultraviolet rays on the water are often very strong, so I just basked in the hot sun for seven hours.
Self-driving canoes swim in snowmelt glaciers, which tests both physical strength and technology. It needs to control itself to get out of many forks, and it is very easy to run aground or rush in other directions because of the fast current and difficult to control the direction.
As you can imagine, my skills are very poor.
The tour guide was probably very helpless and took the initiative to tie my boat to his, so I was led by the tour guide to lie in the mountain stream.
? ? I was lying on the boat, letting the sun shine on my cheeks, watching the glaciers melt into water, watching the winding water, watching the snow-capped mountains and pine forests by the river, and watching the mountains being pulled into countless tributaries by the boundless forest. At that moment, I felt carefree.
The canoe will take about 5-6 hours, and we will have a picnic in a virgin forest on the way. I feel wet, walking on the semi-wet grass beach, rubbing the moss on the ground, as if I were in a huge Simmons.
The trees on the hillside are towering and layered, and mottled sunlight shines in from time to time.
And the price of all this is that I didn't get a tan during the military training in the university, but this time I put on a sunburn makeup on Faye Wong.
I probably spent those days holding milk. I always covered my face with white sugar and milk when I took the bus, which made me sick and carsick. Although I will get better, it is actually a useless struggle. Finally, I started school with such a face. ...
Look on the bright side. For example, I'm too worried about wearing sunscreen now.
