Chapter III. New Zealand exclusive. Into the Mount Cook

 Up the sun in the mountains especially early, before 7:30, the morning mist had already climbed to the east of the hill. Kind of weather, if it is cloudy or raining, the desire to climb Mount Cook can only be shelved. Because it rains here often avalanche or landslide, on a very dangerous mountain of people, like this mountain climbing for the amateur can only come to its foot, is estimated to climb to the top must first become a mountaineer before line. All the outdoor sports, the most fascinated me is climbing, though their own kind of torture, climbed half out of breath when they often want to give up, but whenever I complete a journey, there will be different levels of achievement leisurely, though a backache,UGG boots clearance, leg pain is usually the next day, but the taste of sweat can often perseverance of our hearts.

remember my primary school, a school organization climbing, though that mountain is not high, but for the children concerned, to climb up to be not easy. I clearly remember, I have dozens of steps to reach the top of the hill, you can then have tired to want to climb down, lose control of legs and feet are shaking, that is, it usually does not seriously dozens of children I did not go up stairs , and missed the mountain scenery behind. Over the past number of years it can be missed regret or fresh. Since then, every mountain climbing, hiking no matter what kind of tired to, I will adhere to the finish, adhere to the mountain to see what the other end, while the other end is usually mountains or mountain, but I still again and again till the end so many years later the memory of some unnecessary flaws.



saying that Mount Cook is New Zealand's highest peak, 3,764 meters above sea level, located in the South Island's Southern Alps in the Midwest. It, like many great mountains and rivers, not alone, around around 22 peaks over 3,000 meters above sea level accompanying. It is covered by snow all year round, on both sides of the mountain is the famous Millennium glaciers. Mount Cook area is surrounded by great natural playgrounds, botanical gardens with beautiful mountains, this area was named Mount Cook National Park, the mountains are eroded into a V-shaped glacial valley calm before the two beautiful lakes, is Yesterday we pass Lake Pukaki and Lake Di Kabo. Southern Alps after snow melting lake water through these waves, came to Canterbury Plains, and finally flows into the South Pacific.

go up in the morning, fresh air level of the people living in the city can not imagine. Well look to the Cook Mountain, towering, Koho processes. White mountain erected to horizon. Soft light to the sun, I simply packed up his luggage after Elaine, standing in the open space in the holiday park to enjoy the top of the distant world, intoxicated under the sun in this paradise-like screen.

to have been here yesterday the Hooker Valley town, there is a feeling in the mountains. There is no sound calm, even voice can be heard even the wind. Closer look at Mount Cook, Yizhuqingtian. Straight into the highest heaven. Our forefathers reflects environment Everyday on the water draft, but I look to see where I looked really eat, the snow is usually no plants, dwarf the growth of most of the places that are also some shrubs, did not see where there can eat fruit and the like. But Jishihaoren rare live here, are relying on the mountain brought them thriving tourism industry as the main income, which is the deeper meaning of it reflects environment Everyday.

arrived Tourist Service Center, enthusiastic salesperson can give us deep into the mountains of the several routes. Free maps, a bit shabby, not on the map with a compass, but Elaine and I are usually big truck, so there is north of us, we may also analyzed in that direction is not south. After all, this tune to play mahjong with the wind not the same. Service Center is a two-seat cabin, basement and a cute mini-museum. This museum displays are in the vicinity of plants, animals, insects, specimens, and the weather temperature seasons in Cook Park, the introduction, beautifully decorated, unique style, you can feel the staff here love this level of snow-capped mountains. Also seen in the basement of the king of the legendary

usually like to photograph people will know this legendary It not only represents a photographic quality, but also represents a pursuit of the perfect state of mind. These display items can be encountered. I can not help can not wait to hear the beauty of Full mechanical shutter sound, because once in a photographic film magazine article that the title is called Alas, the shutter lock, the only substantial, not to play. Finally, only patted the hands of the new generation of digital machines, said helplessly,

probably lies the valley Hook Seven or eight hotels, small hotels, youth hostels and holiday parks. Estimates on such a star also, the price is not cheap, although the open window you can see Cook peaks, but the new price of RMB 250 yuan more than the majority of the visitors to feel a little price a bit lower. But I guess some of the tour is the motherland to live here, because the aunts and uncles to travel the country often are not bad money, children, of envy. But the only visitors feel for the country is not worth living in this tour is one night, watching the morning waiting to see mountains, taking pictures and left. Time is money for the tour in terms of one day's time to thoroughly understand this national park, is unrealistic. This is what I did not attend the tour reasons. Because a lot of tours before the study data, are shown to the group here, all the anti-hurry, no time for a travel company for mountain climbing.

after finishing a backpack, ready to go. Backpack on a few things, 2 bottles of water, two bananas, two sandwiches and a down jacket plus a tripod. Of course, eat and drink with, but we did not experience the mountain snow is always looking casual chills. Who knows what temperature the mountains, with a little dress Insurance. Remember when me and my dad climb Mountains, a large summer more than 30 degrees. Yamashita military coat can be rented there, and I can not help but laugh with my dad, who thought silly, child wear a military coat that day. But the climb to the top of the collapse of the Changbai Mountain, who knows top of the hill is the polar climate, with cold, hold our Yeliang friction heat. Now think also find it particularly funny. Two

and Elaine did not walk a few steps I saw a real cow --- backpacker camps. New Zealand is a paradise for those who like camping, There are several reasons, one is sparsely populated, or even half an hour drive from the city can not be bothered to find the original ecological environment for the camp. Second, almost all of the natural area for campers to use the holiday park, park facilities, a bathroom toilet kitchen, about 5,6 per person per night to spend the new coin dollars, you can use these facilities. Third, the New Zealanders are very friendly, courage is also small, petty crime is there, robbed of a class is almost no serious crime here. Backpackers are also vertically, thumb side of the road take the good people of the ride all the way to another destination.

backpackers and camping is a family rate of rise in the country is amazing, people are beginning to understand the domestic purchase, sleeping bags, tents, outdoor products for a class. However, the number and quality of concrete is used and can not be compared here. I heard some people will go to the playground to experience camping or tents Square branch, but also heard of bastard scandal. And here the experts when compared to the individual to die of laughter.
