钱佩芸寒冷的冬季，Maple决定要再次出发，这次的目，是巴厘岛。之所以选择这个地方，最开始受到的启发偏偏是来自于一部电影：《Eat,Pray,Love》。女主角在经过一番生活的波折后，终于在旅途中再次肯定了自己，并且在巴厘岛，找到了属于自己的真爱。据说，Bali的意思是，“come back”，注定会回到这里。这里，是命运的起点，也是命运的终点。如此浪漫的地方，真心想去一探究竟，所以，出发！就像前面说过的，自由行的安排，在确定目的地后，就要抓紧时间安排机票、住宿、旅游代理。提前两个月开始安排，快速订下了新加坡的经停航班，剩下的，就是住宿啦！航班预订攻略：https//blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_69fb381501012ol1.html枫叶完成贴直达梯：寻觅高棉王国，暹粒吴哥窟深度游（美女力作完结）https//bbs.8264.com/forum-viewthread-tid-1299894-fromuid-34172959.html新加坡之旅各种美图-（附如何办理新加坡过境随意行SSH指南）150楼更新多张大图（完）https//bbs.8264.com/forum-viewthread-tid-1282011-highlight.html泰国普吉岛自由行（风景&人妖&美食&;买物大赏）独家攻略！更新结束！https//bbs.8264.com/forum-viewthread-tid-1285729-highlight.html一行八人，大家想玩的不一样，所以决定一分为二，自由组合为两个Team。Team 1八天七晚住宿全部在海边，舒适，自在，不用换酒店。Team 24晚住海边，3晚住在美丽的乡村Ubud乌布。这组中途要换一次酒店，但可以享受海边的巴厘岛，也可以享受多彩多样的巴厘岛风情。Maple就是这组的啦，很是Happy体验不同的生活~！别看Maple现在说得简单，但是预订住宿时花费了不少的精力。一、酒店预订首先，是选择区域。巴厘岛的海边，有南边的乌鲁瓦图和努沙杜瓦。这两块是高级酒店的集中地，其中不乏7星级准的豪华酒店，不少人度蜜月会在这边住。但是这两块是属于岩石地貌，基本没有海滩。而且酒店价格不菲，实在无力承担。再往北，有金巴兰和库塔区。登巴萨机场就在这两块海滩之间。库塔旁边紧邻雷吉安区，属于开发程度相当高的旅游区，酒店密集，交通方便，吃饭购物也很方便。而且往北去各大景点非常方便。所以考察一番后，Maple决定大队人马驻扎在这里。一、酒店预订首先，是选择区域。巴厘岛的海边，有南边的乌鲁瓦图和努沙杜瓦。这两块是高级酒店的集中地，其中不乏7星级准的豪华酒店，不少人度蜜月会在这边住。但是这两块是属于岩石地貌，基本没有海滩。而且酒店价格不菲，实在无力承担。再往北，有金巴兰和库塔区。登巴萨机场就在这两块海滩之间。库塔旁边紧邻雷吉安区，属于开发程度相当高的旅游区，酒店密集，交通方便，吃饭购物也很方便。而且往北去各大景点非常方便。所以考察一番后，Maple决定大队人马驻扎在这里。 第二步，选酒店。Maple主要通过www.booking.com和 www.agoda.com，先找出预算内的酒店，然后比较位置和评价，随后选定了：kuta库塔的Kuta Seaview Boutique Resorts和Ubud乌布的Waka Namya Hotel。第三步，预订。因为各家网站报价还是小有差别，而且不同网站上房型也不一样，所以各种头大的抽死剥茧后，终于订好了全部住宿。成就感刚刚的！价格参考：booking预订Waka Namya Hotel 3晚2间Lanai，一共755.4美金，合计4805人民币，也就是RMB800元/间/晚。agoda预订Kuta Seaview Boutique Resorts 2间4晚和2间7晚的豪华双床间，最后含税费用是RMB760元/间/晚。不谈位置不同，单说这两家住宿体验，乌布的远远好于库塔的。这留待后面慢慢表。当然，如有预算充分，2-4人还可以住Villa，也就是小别墅。好一点的Villa还会有私人管家和独立的泳池，反正一句话，只要有钱，想怎么奢侈都可以滴。二、旅游代理预订大家一起出去，还要顾及到方便。因此在巴厘岛，选择个旅游代理是必要的。所谓旅游代理，可以提供的服务有：接送机、一日游、按照自己需求提供包车服务以及简单的景点介绍。出发前，Maple因为住宿和各种包车服务接触了5、6家旅游代理：1、这是一家香港人的代理，有自己的网站，有中文沟通服务，可以提供奢侈的villa信息，以及很多一日游方案。但因为是旅行社，所以灵活性小，价格也比较高。SilkyWorld Best Travel Agency Ltd.Address Jl.

小县城里的故事1一10
吴必蓉由于规划十一长假的旅行计划比较晚了，又不想拥挤在国内人山人海的景点中，因此打算找个证容易的目的地去旅行，斯里兰卡无论是人文风光的吸引力、还是开销都在预算内，对我们来说是很不错的选择地之一。手机拍的第一眼斯里兰卡，恍惚间有到了印度的感脚！首先在网上搞定机票，据echo说淡季斯里兰卡直飞的斯里兰卡航空常规价格含税在4K出头，我们大约是提前一个月预定的，可能还是受国庆长假的影响，机票含税为6700¥。在旅途中遇到很多中国朋友，他们都是提前很久在亚航买的吉隆坡转机的机票，大概3K5;出头，时间和金钱的开销是成正比的，这个就看个人情况来规划了。北京(首都T2)-科伦坡(科隆坡)，10月2日0345起飞，UL899 到达斯里兰卡是当地时间中午之前，到了就可以开始旅行了，能节省一些时间。科伦坡(科隆坡)-北京(首都)，10月10日0125起飞，UL888到达北京的时间是下午1点多，到家3点，还能好好休息证据说以前斯里兰卡以前是对中国大陆护照入境免证费但并不是免，从2012年1月1日开始收取证费25美金，2012年3月1日开始实行电子证政策，需要提前在官网上申请，证费是20美金，网上支付证费需要用信用卡支付（如Visa或Master），和别国证一样，支付后证申请不成功也没得退钱的哦，不过至今还没听到有拒的情况。电子证官网地址 https//www.eta.gov.lk/slvisa/进入后选择中文，只需填写简单的个人信息、大约抵达时间和住宿点即可，不需要上传任何财产证明、工作证明、机票证明、身份证明之类的文件，几乎没有什么难度申请完并付费成功后会立刻收到一封邮件说会在24小时内进行审核，由于是周末晚上申请的，申请后20分钟就得到了出邮件，平時可能更快，这封邮件就是电子证，通常ETA的有效期间为半年，可以在兰卡停留30天，出发之前要打印出来带着护照和机票一起过海关。需要提醒一下的是，信用卡支付的时候要确定你的银行信用卡开通了网上支付，否则在支付的时候通不过，前面填的表格都得重新来写一次，很耽误时间。以下便是收到的电子证的样子租车情况：其实斯里兰卡是很适合背包自由行，搭乘传统的公交bus、火车、tutu车等交通工具，尤其是斯里兰卡有很著名的海岸线火车风光，但由于我们规划的旅行计划时间紧凑，想去的地方不少，带的行李也不少，最后讨论的结果还是租车，网上咨询和了解大概情况后，用邮件沟通行程并同时在酒店先预定好了车和司机，出发前的准备已经OK租车费是7天420美金，包括油费，不用负担司机的住和吃，但从整个旅行的状况和体验看下来，司机会带一些隐性推荐，存在着服务专业性的问，所以这这里就不推荐租车了我们三人加一堆行李搭乘的小面包车在斯里兰卡旅行的8天里，每天都是晴天境的时候，外国人需要填写一张出境卡，空姐如果在飞机上没有给你，出海关之前可别忘了拿了填写哦 敞亮的斯里兰卡机场，有没有像曼谷机场？ 一路睡过来的，一睁眼就到了，别说，这一路还睡的真香呀！哈哈这就是我们3个人的所有行李了，哈哈~很荣幸这次的旅行，还有一位女流浪艺人加入呢！我们的TEAM，嘿嘿，出门的识猜猜看装了很多相机的哪个书包是我的？嘿嘿~斯里兰卡机场出来的免税店能看到很多卖电器的，这点据说象祖国的80年代，海外打工回来的兰卡人民有银子了，都能在这里带一些进口电器回家。舟舟一眼看上了那把吉他～哈哈，怎么機場還有吉他賣！货币：汇率换算下来大约1元人民币可以换取约19－20斯里兰卡卢比，为方便计算直接将斯里兰卡价格除以20就好。一不小心，薄薄的幾美金，換回來好幾十萬盧比啊！瞬間變成有錢人！我们各自换了500美金做为旅费的开销，出机场用一部分美金换的卢比，建议再留一些美金在身上，因为我们发现有些地方更乐于收美金，比如我们租车和买电话卡的时候；买门票的时候美金比当地货币换算下来更实惠些；手机通讯斯里兰卡的手机资费相当便宜。我们一下飞机就在机场买了斯里兰卡手机号（出机场电动门的左手边），运营商是Dialog，相当于中国移动，信号很好，也是最主流的运营商。在科伦坡机场大厅就可以办理，需护照。花了10美金买了一张卡，单独装在一个手机里，做热点分享流量，3G信号很强，速度不错，3个人用也没问，GPS寻找地图和沿途预定酒店很方便，不得不说自由行中，网络的便捷性真的非常重要。工作人员在帮我们设置手机上网，手脚十分麻利，一会就弄好了，順便說一下，如果是小SIM卡，現場可以提供剪卡的服務，iphone什么的都沒問題啦细资费如下：在办理地打斯里兰卡号码1斯币/分钟，约5分钱；在外地（即漫游状态下）打斯里兰卡号码2斯币/分钟，约1角钱；打回中国是6斯币/分钟，约3角钱。发短信给斯里兰卡号码1斯币/条，约5分钱；发跨国短信（如中国）6斯币/条，约3角钱；GPRS流量费是1MB/1斯币，即100MB≈5元人民币。插入新卡后，可以请工作人员设置一下手机，立刻可上网。每通电话、每条短信之后都会自动显示花费及余额。语言：斯里兰卡有自己的语言和文字，文字很可爱，我叫它们为胖蝌蚪文，也有朋友戏称为屁屁文，英语非常普及，可能老人小孩不太会说英文，但用英语在斯里兰卡行走完全没有问。只是斯里兰卡式英语有口音，听不懂，但他们的语速非常快，有时候他们也听不懂我们说的英文，但还是会表现出来听懂了你的意思，所以最好反复确认一下。和印度很像的是，摇头表示yes，而且左右晃的很可爱从机场到租车的酒店，和接洽人Terry再次确定好行程和交300美金的租车前期款我们的第一顿午餐，洗漱完毕，再吃饱，下午就可以直接出发开始旅行了~饮食：斯里兰卡是食物与印度相比更接近中国的饭菜味道。主食是手抓咖喱饭，游客聚集区域自然什么都贵，去当地人会去的餐厅会和中国小饭馆价格差不多或者略低一些。比如象炒饭和炒面这样的一份主食卖400-600卢比不等，相当于元人民币20-30¥不等。司机爱吃的手抓饭看他吃的津津有味的……我還是下不了手……水果不便宜，但是椰子和香蕉特别便宜，一个金椰子25-40斯币（约两元人民币）金椰子的椰汁甜甜的，很好喝喝完了别忘了让老板帮你把金椰切开，挖里面的椰肉吃，软软滑滑的很有口感。到斯里兰卡不能不尝尝著名的锡兰红茶，世界四大红茶之一。许多小饭馆小茶馆都可以喝到。他们一般不特别说明是Black Tea，只说Plain Tea（纯红茶）或者Milk Tea（加牛奶的红茶），都是默认放糖喝的，很便宜。沿途遇到大超市或者去茶厂看到正宗的红茶都可以买一些带回来送人，非常划算。卫生情况：斯里兰卡人很爱干净，所到之处都是干干净净的。这点上和印度完全不同，狗狗和猫咪也很悠然自得的生活在这个国家，很是羡慕。树荫下晒太阳的狗狗们，多么悠闲阿猫咪望过去的方向就是海，原来它也喜欢边看风景边发呆~这里的猫狗都有属于他们的骄傲小幸福，无比惬意电的使用：斯里兰卡使用的是印插头，圆形接头，两孔或三孔，印度和尼泊尔使用的也是这种接头。接中国的电器需要转换接头，我们自带了转换头和接线板，因为实在是有很多相机、手机需要充电，3个人一起用，很有效率阿～关于旅行要带什么相机和镜头……其实因人而议，个人建议，体力准许的情况下，可以选择单反+微单或者卡片备机镜头可以带个广角和定焦哦，这次我们带的器材比较多，就不做参考了旅行人均开销机票67005;+500美金旅费（3人420美金7天的租车费用，平均每人140美金），总开销约等于1万5;其实还可以玩得更省一些，我们的机票就占了大头，加上租车了，有些开销就省不下来了。其他注意事项：（1）斯里兰卡车道与中国相反，汽车靠左行驶，过马路要两边看看哦（2）斯里兰卡与中国时差两个半小时，中国十点钟时斯里兰卡是七点半 （3）记得带防晒霜、驱蚊水、风油精之类的物品，斯里兰卡常年高温，多蚊虫（4）在斯里兰卡烟是奢侈品，机场免税店没有烟卖，超市里的烟都锁在柜子里，有需要再打开来卖的，如果给烟给他们抽是很讨好的，甚至有些人会比划动作和你要烟抽（5）斯里兰卡没有人喝热水，酒店也不提供烧水壶，如果有喝热水习惯的，不妨自己带个烧水壶。总之我们带去的泡面，由于找不到热水，又带回来了……其他零食在路上一扫而光出发前的准备和斯里兰卡之旅需要注意的大概情况先介绍到这里，再给我多点时间，整理下后续的游记吧飞机上午抵达斯里兰卡后，中午搞定租车的事情，下午就顺利开始了第一天的旅行，第一站“大象孤儿院”在印度洋岛国斯里兰卡，以大象为图腾的古老传统深深根植于当地文化中，憨厚可爱的大象形象无处不在。斯里兰卡野生动物局于1975年，在斯里兰卡盖克拉镇西北部的品纳维拉建造了一所“大象孤儿院”，主要收养那些在丛林中失去母亲的幼象。图为“大象孤儿院”的正门，门票对外国人：2000卢比(相当于100RMB)([]

There are many like-minded asking me about it. I now present this thread to briefly tell everybody about my journey.The starting point of this traverse was from the highest peak of the western part of the Tibetan plateau, Jieshan Daban, and the day was April 20, 2010.I was heading eastward passing Bungdag Co, Yanghu Co, Rola Co, and Kangzhagri Mountain, which crossed over the desolate region from west to east. The journey continued northward to enter the unpopulated area of Altun Mountains, through Hoh Xil Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Whale lake, ..., finally met some people by the Aqqikkol Hu and then arrived in Huatugou by vehicle three days later and that day was July 5. It had been 77 days in total. I had been all alone 74 days after leaving Jieshan Daban until arriving inAqqikkol Hu, which was about 1400km and about four months.[The Great Chang Tang] In Tibetan, "Chang Tang" means northern empty wilderness while narrowly, means unpopulated region in northern part of Tibet. However, it actually indiCATes all of the no man's land in northern. The great Chang Tang includes desolate places in Northern Tibet, Hoh Xil, Alun Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains, which are interconnected to form the unique and super empty wilderness in the world. Only because Hoh Xil is the most known name, most people just think this vast land is equivalent to Hoh Xil. In reality, Hoh Xil is only a small piece of the Great Chang Tang both administratively and geologically. The Great Chang Tang, the last land to chase your freedom and dream.The route that I traversed ForeplayI arrived in Tibet in the early March, a couple of troubles bothered me. The brand new plug got its positive and negative wrongly connected; the rivets of my rucksack eASIly got broken from now and again; and a multi-functional charger got damaged and so on. Riding my bike to Ngari for warming up of this journey, lost my rucksack but later got it back; lost my camera bag and got it back later again, and finally lost a big bicycle pannier in the street of Gyangze town under the eyes of police, including clothes, solar panel and so on.Without much choice, I returned to Lhasa to adjust all the stuff I would need in the wilderness. Then I begged some luck by going to Nyingchi to enjoy the blossoms of peach trees and to take a hot spring bath. I even had the privilege to enjoy time with ten girls in the hot spring. I felt my bad luck had all gone and then returned to Lhasa again to prepare going to Ngari. I did not expect that I was cheated on by some hustler and lost some money and delayed my schedule for a week. I had to find a car myself quickly to Nagri. However, I lost the tool for fast-parting my rear wheel on my way to Nagri, where was a remote area in Tibet and nowhere to buy the tool. Even if there was one in Lhasa it would take at least ten days for a special delivery service. I was lucky that my mate Duola asked a driver to bring the tool for me from Lhasa. I thought there should be no more nightmare like this but the nozzle of my brand new multi-fuel stove was broken. The next day I tried everywhere to weld them back together. The first three shops could not do the welding for copper. The fourth one said they could do it but could not guarantee a sUCCess. The engineer said it would be ten Chinese yuans if it was a success. I agreed. Just in seconds, my nozzle became crap in a flash of lightening. I was so upset. Again, Duola helped me by bringing her own MSR oil stove and Dingding's sleeping bag to Nagri. That was already April 16 and I did not have much time to waste. The following day I found a vehicle heading to Jieshan Daban.The sand storm over Yarlung Zangbo RiverA lonely peach tree blossoming in Yarlung Zangbo Grand CanyonNatural hot spring in wild, me singing and drinking (photo by a friend of mine) Day 1(April 20), 16km, Camping 5192mIt was a truck with a full load of iron wastes, arriving in Jieshan Daban at 6'o clock in the morning. It was still night and extremely cold and dark. Driver was not bothered to pop his head out of the driving cab. I climbed up on the top of the iron wastes, taking my bicycle down. In a hurry, I punched my old water bag. Fortunately I had another MSR water bag given by a friend of mine otherwise I would definitely fail without even starting my journey. For the first time for me to set up the brand new tent in strong, cold winds. It would be impossible to do so if the tent was not a whole piece. Extremely cold outside, about -15C, might be lower than that, I put my head into the sleeping bag but was nearly suffocated to death, honestly. The smell of Dingding's sleeping bag was, lol, so extraordinary. I woke up around 11 o'clock. There were still strong winds outside so that I had to use my bodyweight to keep the tent in place. At the time when I just started to cook and eat, four patrolling soldiers approached me. To their surprise someone, in this season, camped in Jieshan Daban. I was so nervous and afraid they were the people to block my journey because I was caught and deported from the desolate land last year. Luckily the four soldiers did not know my destination and were very kind to me. After they left, I immediately packed my stuff and pushed my bike into the depths of the unpopulated area just in case anything unexpected happened.The bike was very heavy due to the provisions and hard to control. There was even a quite small hill that I had to remove my bike panniers to get over it. This really struck me because this happened even the path was still the hardship one at the moment and I could not imagine what I would do once I entered the uncertain, endless wilderness. Until now I had not met anyone, even the nomadic pastoralists. I remembered there were quite a few of them roaming at the edge of the northern Tibetan plateau last year. All of these indicated it was not the good pasture season in such low temperature and strong winds. Around 16km there was a sheep cote, where I passed it last year, east of Lungmu Co. I was exhausted at this point so that I decided to camp in here and to rest my head. After arranging tent everything I went out to look for the wetland discovered by Duola and Liumeng last year. I was determined to find it.There were many hot springs in the wetland which were underground water with a constant temperature. The wetland therefore became an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such harsh weather, which was the very unique land feature of terrain in this over 5200m highland.Perpetual snow in the valley blown to corn shape by strong windsThis wetland was discovered by Duola and Liumeng. The workers at a nearby mine did not know it and I too missed it last yearUnderground water with a constant temperature, an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such icy weather 感谢大伙儿支持和加分，不一一回复了。特别感谢多啦，希望能有机会一起喝酒吃肉。 Day 2 (April 21), 0km, Camping5192mBlustering gale all night, up and down like ocean waves. The next day rather than continuing to travel, I stayed inside the sheep cote, hesitating and pondering over. Indeed, there were so many problems before this journey;I did not have sufficient physical preparation;the load had already reached its limitation; I still coughed a lot;the weather was so extreme and cold. All in all, I did not think this journey was well prepared and I did not have confidence in completing this journey mentally and physically. To do, or not to do, it was the question. Similarly I did not have confidence in my facilities, not knowing whether all of them would work functionally or not. The fact was one of the rivets got broken again and the front rack came loose. In the afternoon, I replaced all the rivets of the panniers with screws I had prepared before. This was an excellent job I had done which gave me no further troubles throughout my whole journey. I also re-adjusted the front rack. However I did not think it would definitely all right because I did not have a tool to do it. When the darkness descended,I made up my mind to continue my journey, which, of course, was not beyond any imagination. Orchid-like weedsSmall springs everywhere, clear and chillyA thin layer of ice covering the fresh spring water The sheep cote, it was the door under the sleeping bag, which was in the same place as last year, everything looked like yesterdayThe wetland at duskLungmu Co at dusk. You could hear the gigantic sound of wind if the picture had a sound Day 3 (April 22), 52.4km, Camping 5145mGot up in the morning, could not put everything into the bags. Without much choice I had to throw away three portions of tsampa, elbow pads, and crampons. Following the road of the lead-zinicmine I found the side path to enter the wilderness, which was on the riverbed and very hard to see. I missed this side path last year so that I had to take a short cut into the wilderness directly then. That was why I had taken extra care to find the side path. The following journey was to get over a big hill, which lay 5275m above sea level and was the highest point of my whole journey. Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I passed the side path leading to Orba Co and started a journey which was complete strange to me. I ate a piece of pilot breads, which was frozen like rocks so that I had to use my spade to crush it. At 6 o'clock in the evening, I had pushed plus rode my bicycle for about 32 km. I reckoned I should have been able to double this if I did no carry such heavy load. The wind became stronger and stronger. I opened the parasail kits and tested it. The result was far beyond what I expected. With the aid of the strong wind I was just like flying over the wilderness. After 8 o'clock in the evening, I started to observe the water Source and to get ready to camp. Map showed there were successive springs along the path and assembled to puddles. But I had overestimated the water source here in this land and in this season there were endless wilderness inside the valley, where I could not see a single drop of water. As it became darker and darker, I felt a little bit nervous which resulted in three spokes of the parasail broken and became a useless rubbish. Anyway, it helped me to move forward 20km more which benefited me a lot later on. When time approached 9.30 pm, it was almost completely dark. I had to lie my bike on the ground and went on to try to find water on the north side of the valley. This was a wide and flat sandy land, where I could not see any ditches there and further was complete darkness. I returned to get my GPS to look up the contours and found the south part of the valley was closer to a hill so I took the way. Finally I found a piece of ice in a ditch. I smashed about 20litre of ice. The ice was quite shallow scattered with sheep poo. On my way back, my eyes were hurt by strong winds, which got me a couple of days to recover. It was nearly 23 o'clock after I set up the tent. It also took about 40 mins to melt the ice. I was so tired and my appetite was completely spoiled. I then had a little bit of milk. I had never expected thing would go like this, it was so distressing. Streams along the path, ice everywhereThe river flew into Matou Hu, in whose north part there was a satellite lake, a wonderful ice-skating court It took 40mins to melt the ice in midnight Day 4 (April 23), 31km, Camping 5028mA cloudy day with gusts. From now and again, hails chased me from behind. Sunny spell. Heavy sandy land made me have to push my bike. At 3pm, I arrived at Luxing Hu, where there was a house made of clay. This was the last permanent building of my journey. Last year, Duola and Liumeng once lived in this house for three days without meeting anybody. It seemed it was the same but the truck parking in front of the house made me worry about. I went to the sheep cote first to check over, where there were only a few lambs following me everywhere I went later on. This made me feel warm in my heart. I observed farther places using my binoculars but could not see any people or sheeps. After making sure there were no people around I opened the locked door using a screwdriver. The living room was very clean. There were two boxes of beverages on the ground and a string of cured lamb legs hanging over in the interior room. A pot of water was on the top of the stove, lukewarm, which indicated the host must be not far away from his home. I filled up my water bag and left the house. I also put the screws back to the door in order not to leave any trace of my visiting. I then took a spanner from the toolbox of the truck, which gave me great help for the rest of the journey.I left the house as quickly as possible. After last year's experience, the nomadic pastoralists were the last people I wanted to meet. A few hundred meters away from the house, the vehicle traces were fading fast. Even downhill, I had to push rather than to ride because of the heavy loose sand. From the route point of view, only after Luxing Hu it was the real unpopulated land. After many days, I thought of the lamb legs from time to time. It was pity that I then had plenty of provisions and the bike was too heavy to carry anything more. Continue to melt the ice under the morning sunshine, all of the sheep poo had been removed carefullyCamping site, the little hill over there was the place where I got the ice last nightThe house by the Luxing Hu, empty, the last permanent building I saw throughout my journeyDay 5 (April 24), 19.8km, Camping 4951mSet off at 10.30 in the morning, the weather was similar to yesterday. Probably this road was the high plain or somewhere the wind passed so that it was so windy. The average wind speed was degree 6 but could reach degree 9 in the blick of an eye. The road was still full of sand and very heavy to walk on it. My eyes became worse under such harsh weather. About three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw something in my right, looked like antenna. I went closer to see what it was and found out it was an iron tower (the triangulation station). In 1970s, a joint team from Chinese three military regiments entered this area doing research. They have left a lot of triangulation stations and benchmarks, which I had the priviledge to see them today.At dusk, I approached to a spring by the Bungdag Co, which flew into the frozon lake. The sand and soil, brought by the strong wind, scattered on the surface of the ice all over the lake. There were so many cracks around the icey surface of the lake. I geussed it must be caused by the springs under the water rather than by melted ice. In the west of the Bungdag Co was the side path leading to Keriya Pass, where a SUV could reach directly. I had looked out any vehicle Tracks but failed. The cloudy sky started to snow. I set up the tent comfortably because I knew that I was safe having such a sweet spring beside me.Triangulation station erected by scientists from the joint research team on Chang Tang of three military regiments in 1971[size=+0]The gap between water and ice in Bungdag Co, I guessed there must be some springs under the lakeThe storm just above the ground, a chaotic darkness[size=+0]Icy Bungdag Co,one of the four biggest lakes in Northern Tibet, wild ducks flying over this vastness and lonenessSnowing at any time, should not happen so frequently like this in this seasonDay 6 (April 25), 4.3km, Camping 5002mWeathering landforms everywhere around this area. Spongy volcanic rocks could be found easily. I pushed my bike turning around a small hill, seeing a big river, the Yinshui He, flowing from Orba Co into Bungdag Co, which I had been to its upstream last year. It was also a passage for animal migration. The downstream of the river was extremely wide and broad. The thickess of the ice layer could reach one meter with the main stem in the middle course of the river, very deep. There were a few springs along the river, sweet and clear.I only went forward a little bit more than 4km but I had walked more than 20km for finding my way. It was not possible to cross the main stem, let alone the north bank of Bungdad Co. What I could only do was to try to find a shallow place to cross. But the southern area was a even larger piece of wetland and forced the road turn towards west. I spent a couple of hours but failed to find a good point to cross the river. In the afternoon, I decided to follow the edge of the wetland. When I reached the hill foot, the wetland finally disappeared. Around this area, there were clearly volcanic feature of terrain and I even found traces of pasturing and cairns made from volcanic rock.Here was the last pasturing trace I found throughout my journey, I guessed it was a summer pasture area. After this, there was no clear sign of human activities in this vast wilderness. I had been looking for my ways until it was dark. I made up my mind where to go TOMOrrow. The terrain here looked like Yardang landforms, as well as volcanic landforms The Yinshui He river from Orba CoSprings scattered all over the river bank, painted green by lovely algaeThe river was very deep. The mixture of green and amber colour showed the sand and mud carried by the melted iceThick layer of ice, sunken surface caused by strong gustsThe south course of the Yinshui He, countless small streams. To the right was the wetlandLooking for ways in the east, a trace of pasturing and the cairn made from spongy volcanic rocksMy camp, opposite to the hillDay 7 (April 26), 11km, Camping 5009mI moved forward to the direction I found yesterday, turning around the wetland and walking toward east. At 2pm, I was blocked by the zigzag Yinshui He again and I had no choice but to cross it. The river was about 700m wide, covered by ice which appeared very different. The hanging ice, the folding ice, the piling-up ice, the icy puddle, and the sleet were everywhere along the river bank. Having noticed all of these, I reckoned the river would be receding at dusk, which was why there were so many different shapes and forms of ice. I put my slipper on, going into the main stream of the river. I found there were at least three different courses of the river, the thickness of the surface ice varied and the river water reached above my knees. I sighed there would be no way back once I crossed this river. There are many ways in one's life too, you can only take it once and you will no long have the courage to repeat it.I pushed the bike crossing the river. Some of the ice was a bit soft, jamming the tyres so that I had to use my feet to break them first. Some of the ice was a bit thick but with half-melted underneath, sticking the the bike completely, some of the ice was half-water half-ice with a sandy riverbed, which was really hard to pass. I had to remove all of the panniers at the last stage of the crossing. I spent the whole four hours to cross the river, my legs got many bloody cuts. At 6pm, the surface ice was almost disappeared completely, the river level rapidly rising to a chaotic status. I thought if I hesitated a little bit at that time, I could not have the courage to cross this river under such circumstances. The river bank was unimaginably sandy and was quite steep. I had to unloaded the panniers again to reach the top of the bank. By the time of sunset, the weather became exceptionally good. The sunlight from the descending sun, the blue sky, the faint moon, .... I liked such a colorful and peaceful Chang Tang and very much enjoyed my camp and myself bathed in such beautiful colour.The ice like this was very thin and suspended, far away from the main stemHard surface with half-melted underneath, the soft sand at the botton was most scaryThe ice like this could easily jam the wheels, hard to get it outI had to unload the panniersChaotic water and terrible hails turned up in no timeThe Chang Tang at the moment liked it used to be,a mixture of cold and warm tones under the golden setting sun Day 8 (April 27), 14.6km, Camping 5112mLast night, I forgot to bring in the odometer, which was out of order due to the coldness in midnight. Since then I used GPS to check the mileage. The digital thermometer was no longer working. I had to use mercury thermometer to collect data. Night temperatures were basically between –15℃—–20℃ while the temperature inside my tent was about –10℃. The advantage of the integrated tent was that it limited the ventilation so to keep warm inside. However, it got clearly disadvantage of heavy condensation and dew. Every morning, there was plenty of frost inside the tent so that I had to put my hood on First Before fully getting dressed. The winds in Chang Tang finally became consistent with the pattern I had researched the other day no or very tiny wind in the morning, strong wind started after 2pm, and then at around 8pm its strength was reduced again. The accuracy of this prediction was about 80%.The road was very bad today. I walked whole afternoon in an ancient riverbed and it was so difficult that I had to use all of my strengths to move a small step forward and then to stop to breath, slower than a snail. After five hours' struggling, my eyes got wet when I saw the grassy river bank. Finally! The nightmare was over.Cold and clear morningHeavy morning condensation in the interior, a lot of frost to clearSuch dawning sunlight indicated a cloudy day ahead Day 9 (April 28), 18km, 5072mIn the morning I entered a range of sandy roads which were so terrible. The solar panel specially designed for GPS got short circuited. After checking it was found to be the diode got damaged. Luckily I got a replacement. Because the GPS was exclusively supplied by a solar panel so that it was no longer a problem for the power supplement of GPS. In a period of 70 days, I did replace the battery once, which saved me a lot of alkaline batteries. I did have another solar panel of 5.4 W which was used specifically for 7.5V Camera, DV and other digital facilities. Unlike water, I had never been short of power.At 7pm in the evening, I arrived at Pur Co. The surface of this lake was very odd the ice by the river bank rose and the river bank was broken, I reckoned that was due to the strong winds. The ice there was mingled with something yellow, could be the stain of alkali. There were many wild yaks on the other side of the lake. There could be two brown bears but I could not be for certain. On the east side of the lake, there was a peninsula leading to the centre of the lake. I camped just opposite to the peninsula. At night , I smashed the ice to get drinking water, which tasted alkali. For the first time I cooked the cereals, which was brought completely by accident. This was just because I found there was a little bit of extra space when I was in Nagri packing the stuff for this journey so that I bought two packs of cereals. It tasted disgusting, probably there was too much alkali in the water. I threw away half of it. Later I realised that probably I subconsciously felt that the provisions was so heavy. I would rather make it lighter at any cost.Dry all my stuff in the morning sun, a routine matterA faint dusk in Pur CoThe river bank pushed up by ice and opened like zipper by gustsThe pushed up surface of the iceThe place where I got my drinking water, a thin layer of ice behind the ablation corns The moment just before sun set, glittering Pur Co, nothing was the same差点儿没找到俺自己的帖子，原来变色了。多谢各位鼓励。 Day 10 (April 29), 16km, Camping 5141mIn the morning, I walked around the north bank of the Pur Co， where it were continuous ups and downs sprinkled with light yellow sprouts across the sparse grassland. The wild yaks clustered into small groups. All of a sudden, there was a group of five of them running towards me, blowing a huge cloud of dust with the power of thunderbolts,I believed that anyone who did not know the characters of the wild yaks must be frightened to death under such circumstances. The fact was the wild yaks in groups never injured people. Rushing to you just to show you its territory. When they approached people at certain distance, they would turn sharply and run away, and then stopped somewhere high to stare at you. You can not imagine that the wild yaks were very cautious animals compared with its almost one ton of weight. Their first reaction, when meeting people, was to raise their tails, the front hooves rubbing against the ground, the horns pointing forward, the eyes redden, and the long body hair shaking, all of which showed their determination to fight.This was the warning sign that you should retreat. However, you should realise that this was only a gesture that they were afraid of you and wanted to scare you away. The thing was that if you were not afraid of them and moved forward, they would run away in no time. There were only some mad yaks attacking people, which was really rare to happen. In Chang Tang, an experienced driver know that it is very dangerous to pass directly from two or three lonely wild yaks. They always tried to avoid confronting them directly. If this was not possible, they would lit a cigarette, smoking, to wait until the yaks walked away themselves. This was because the wild yaks really could attack vehicles, which was not completely rumors. I once asked them why I had not been attacked. They told me that because my bike was so small they would not be bothered to attack it. My own experience was that approaching a wild yak very slowly, do not look into its eyes, and ignored what it was doing. As long as it moved forward a little bit, just stop and give the yaks a little bit of time to think. Because if you forced the yak, it could be themost dangerous animal in the world and nothing could stop them killing. Even a gunshot could not kill it but only left a small hole in its skin. In the past, the nomads living near this land would use yaks' skin as chopping board which was very much endurable. At noon, I lost my balacLAVA, which was brand new and I had never used it once. I could not be bothered to go back tofind it. This resulted in that I had to have my fleece hat day and night in the rest of my journey, which did not provide fully protection from the sun in the plateau. But somehow I was all right, perhaps because my skin is similar to those of yaks, lol. At around half past one, I found a deserted Jeep, upside down. I felt it could be there for years and it could be the vehicle of someillegal HUNTERs. Nowadays, we have wildlife conservation reserves in Chang Tang and the animals here are well protected. However, some people kills the wild yaks to sell them as the domestic yak's meat. In general, it is worth 10,000 Chinese yuans for a single wild yak. Therefore many people take the risk to make money. They often enter the unpopulated areas to hunt and their activities can reach 200 km in diameter. This is why the wild yaks in the deep wilderness are less afraid of people than thoseat the boundaries of the Chang Tang region.There once happened that a wild yak mother revenged its baby's murder in the Altun mountains. Its horns pierced the killer's chest and held his body over its head for more than ten days, which was very touching.Around 3pm, I walked out of the Pur basin. The next point was Hong Shan Daban and then it was the Yueya Hu by the Toze Gangri. At this time I found a vehicle track from south to north. I checked over but could not find the way where they had gone. I took my map, GPS, and compass, climbing up a small hill to estimate the location of Hong Shan Daban. The mountain was very round and it was hard to find the mountain pass. After determining the location of the Daban, I moved straightforward. When I passed a messy grassland, I saw something that I was reluctant to see more than hundreds of wild yaks' head scattered all over, which was definitely the scene of the illegal hunting. After that it was a very long ancient river bed with soft sand slowly rising until the foot of the mountain.There are some spines on the surface of the tongues of wild yaks, which are used by nomads in this area as combs. They use them from their teens to the time when their hair becomes silver.The deserted Jeep, could be left by illegal hunters years agoThe slaughtered wild yaks with the wheel size heads. Some of the skulls were chopped into half. Why was that? Could be taken away for making combs?My camp at the foot of the Daban underthe lingering golden rays of the setting sun. Tomorrow's weather must be wonderful, I reckoned Day 11(April 30)， 20.4km, Camping 5120mThe surface of the road leading to Hong Shan Daban was very hard, most of them were small rocks, sort of gravels, plus a quite long downhill slope, I pushed my bike more than 20km for the first time after Luxing Hu. The mountain pass was quite flat, just like a broad ridge, it was 5256m above the sea level. Upon arriving at the pass, Toze Gangri of 6356m was in my sight clearly, very much round and there was no back bone like normal snow covered mountains. Most of the snow mountains in Chang Tang looked like this probably it was due to the geological movements. There were quite a few chirus or Tibetan antelopes in the valley but I was not interested in this kind of animals anymore after I witnessed a large scale of migration of such animals last year elsewhere.The herbivorous animals here are very quick to reach its original size of the population, such as wild yaks, chirus, Tibetan gazelle, pika, and marmot. When you go into the depths of the Chang Tang, you could hardly be surpised by the sudden appearance of the chirus because they are so common in here. At this time of year, the chirus have already male-female parted. You could see many pregnant female chirus but hardly see any males. According to recent research, Zonag Co is not the only lake for breeding. There are at least four of them in the whole Chang Tang. Zonag Co, Tuzi Hu, Heishi Beihu, and another lake I can not remember. I think there must be more than four of them and most of the populations do not migrant long way like most people used to think. They generally migrant from south to north between Central Mountains and Kunlun Mountains.The chirus looks very timid but are very curious about outside world. They are not really afraid of people, particularly in the depth of the Chang Tang. The nearest distance we can approach is about 30m. They just stare at you calmly and think who you are and why you move so slow. They would run in front of you. Look like they are afraid of you but the fact is they are playing with you. A man's own character shapes his fortune. This is of course suit for animals too. The chirus are the typical one. They have a super speed and a pair of sharp antlers. If they are crazy, three of them work together could easily kill a wolf. But as you might have known, their antlers are just for fighting to mate with females.Down the Daban there was a very steep and straight road, I tried to ride the bicycle but ended up with falling over. The front rack came loose and one of the pannier flew into valley. The foot of the mountain was the Yueya Hu covered by ice, which was alake full of heavy metal elements. Along the lake bank there were many stark rocks very much weathered, lining up just like castles or houses. This made me stop to investigate what they were from time to time, I did understand they were just rocks though but they were so real like the figures of real people. On of them even made me hide in a ditch, observing them again and again using my binoculars. There were also many black volcanic rocks. All in all, the features of this area were really unusual.Passed over the Yueya Hu, it was an endless ancient lake bed. What my GPS showed was this area was a big lake like tentacles. I looked around, it was endless wilderness without a piece of ice and a drop of water. Roughly, I estimated this lake bed was about 1200 square meters. I had to tell you that Chang Tang was a place where there was no high-resolution map. The marks in the map often were some kind of memory. Just like this ancient lake bed under my feet, may be it was full of water a few years ago. Who knows. Pushing the bike in such an endless lake bed was very easy to get lost. My mind was in a chaotic status too.The migration of the animals, photo taken last year The road rising up to the Daban, full of gravels, very hard, ideal for pushing your bikeThe Yueya Hu gazed at by the round and smooth Toze Gangri. At a glimpse, could you tell which was mountain, which was cloud?Ancient lake bed. The white stains were the alkali, look like ice. About wildlife (part 1)Declaration Personal experience for reference onlyDangerous wild animals and their threats to human beings are a ever-LASTING subject for those backpackers travelling in the wild.In Chang Tang, for example, there are two kinds of deadly animals, one is wolves and the other is brawn bears. As substitutes, wild yaks and crows might be dangerous to you in some circumstances that I will come back to this a little bit later on. As for how to protect yourself against these dangerous animals, I think the primary point is you do not try to hurt them because the emotions of human and animals are same instinctively. [Wolves]Throughout my journey, I met wolves a total of seven times, in which I confronted them five times. As you might have known that wolves have become more and more solitary animals, it is very rare they live in a large group nowadays. Please allow me off the point a little bit and talk about the ecological problems in Chang Tang. The problem is now not the decrease of the number of the chirus but the imbalance of the whole food chain, more specifically, the number of the animals on the higher trophic levels of the food chain has not yet reached its ideal level which results in this kind of imbalance. Particularly, the pikas and the marmots who have lost their predators rapidly expanse which results in the desertification of Chang Tang. As early as the middle of last century, wolves were the dominant predators in the vast wilderness. They became a threat not only to other preys but also nomads pasturing in this land. Therefore, the then government called on people to cull back the population of the wolves in Chang Tang, which resulted in the current situation directly. The last official record about wolves attacking humans was around 1970s, which happened in Bamaoqiongzong. A team of secientists was surrounded by a group of wolves and they had to shoot them using guns. Of course, at present in Chang Tang, wolves are absolutely lonely.In this traverse, the first time I encountered a pair of wolves, one of them staying in front of me pretending to attack me while the other staying behind me. This is the standard attacking strategy of wolves. First, you should not be nervous which can be easily detected by the predators. Second, you should not retreat even an inch because this means you are the prey rather than the predator. Do not make any large movement, of course you could take a picture if you feel safe to do so. You must look into its eyes for a few minutes or even half an hour. When the wolves can not work out who you are and consider you are not posing any danger to them, then they will leave. You should remember that wolves in this land do not lack of food and it is much easy for them to catch a pika than a human. Even if being hungry, they would evaluate how easy to get you done, What you need to do is to show them that you are not interested in them and you are not afraid of them at all, let alone to show your ID card to them. As for the wolves family, really, I have not heard for ages. If you really have an encounter with them and they have no other choice, then it definitely depends on your forture. In fact, for so many year, it has been very rare to happen that wolves kill human. But the rumours are still there, in particular, the road connecting Xinjiang and Tibet.The nearest encounter with a wolf throughout my journey, no conflict at all[Brown Bears]Brown bears are real dangerous animals to human. Every year there are some accidents happened in some regions of Xinjiang on the north side of Kunkun Mountains and steppes in Northern Tibet. More than that the bears could attack your house, smash your windows, and eat your sheep. Therefore, in Northern Tibet some local councils give subsidies to the pastorarists for compensating the losses due to the bears because they are not allow to fight back and kill the bears except their lives are in great danger. Once there was a nomad taught me a method to protect yourself from bears. He told me to pick up a stick to feed the bear and the bear thinks the stick is your hand which tastes disgusting. So the bear would leave. It was so funny but the reality is to find a stick in this vast wilderness is just like you win the lottery.Bears are omonivorous animal who are generally not interested in human flesh. You can find that in most of accidents, the bears did not eat any of the human flesh rather they just smashed them for kind of fun that we could not understand. For the reason why bears kill human, one explanation is the conflict between human and wildlife in this extreme ecological environment. The nomads invade the habitats of the bears, which results in these conflicts. On the other hand, it might be because bears have quite high IQ so that they think it is much easy to kill a sheep in the cote rather than to kill a pika in the wild.I have met bears five times in my traverse, in two cases we were very close to each other. I had even walked with one of them for quite a while, just like we had a date for a walk. The fact is it is not that terrible like you might imagine. The same rules for dealing with wolves apply to bears. Never provoke dangerous animals. A bear can run at a speed of 40km/h, do you think you can compete this in a highland 5,000m above sea level?However, there is a situation where it is really dangerous, that is the encounter. It is not easy to control your instinctive reaction to the external dangers. Last year once I turned around a hill, there was a bear just in front of me. The bear of course was frightened by me with its front legs holding up, waving in the air and roaring. At that time I sat on the ground, ignoring it. The bear then left in a few minutes. Chang Tang is a vast land so that this is not that easy to happen. But if it does happen, really only God can bless you.The nearest encounter with a bear throughout my journey. This bear disappeared in a herd of wild yaks, which I had tried hard to spot, really weird About wildlife (part 2)Declaration personal experience for reference only.[Wild Yaks]I have talked about quite a few, like in the post of Day10. I will no longer talk about it.This was the funniest encounter with a solitary wild yak, who did not warn me. If I sat down, it sat down too. If I moved forward, it stopped. Could not imagine what it was thinking about.[Crows]Crows are dangerous only when you fall unconscious in the wilderness. Of course they will be the first to taste your flesh in that case. Unlike their cousinsliving in urban areas, the crows in Chang Tang have a larger body like eagles. When they fly over your head, you could feel like it is a piece of cloud. They are scavengers but like fresh meat too. It once happened that a baby was killed by crows relentlessly, let alone the lambs got killed by them. Once a nomad asked me for fireworks to scare the crows away. (They are sacred birds not to be killed by human)It is easy to defend yourself against crows, that is to keep fighting, never fall in the wilderness.A short break attracted the crows. Of course, they were miscalculating this time, photo taken last year[Strategies Adopted]At the time when I met the four soldiers in Jieshan Daban, they said there were many dangerous animals in the Northern Tibet and asked me if I had brought a shotgun. I think if they knew that I would enter Chang Tang they would definitely check if I really have a shotgun. The so-called defence facilities I brought with me were the fireworks and pepper spray. I had never used them. The fireworks were ruined and thrown away when I crossed a river and I had never opened the pepper spray. I even had never thought about this when camping in the night. The reason was I did not feel the needs. During the day time whenever I met any animals I had never touched the knife I had brought. I did not have anything to defend myself when I walked out to investigate the route. The Chang Tang is really a vast area so as to be very easy to detect anything strange.By the way, you'd better to avoid mating season's animals because even tamed rabbits could be aggressive in mating season.The thing is even if you have a gun, it is not very much helpful when bears attack you. Therefore, your attitude is most important.I can tell you something. Dogs are more dangerous than these wild animals. I had been chased by Tibetan dogs, pounced on by dogs in mating season, also besieged by a group of dogs. I really feel it is more useful to know how to defend a dog.Declaration again The above experience is from Chang Tang only. Of course, the more you prepared, the better. Day 12 (May 1), 23.8km, Camping 5117mToday was May 1 -- the Labour Day, I had been walking in some lake area marked in the map but clearly dried up. The lake basin was flat and hard so that I even pushed my bike more than 20km. Let it be the special treat for my May Day. After midday it became cloudy with growing winds. Since the Yueya Hu that I passed yesterday, there were no big lakes until Yanghu Co (My route would be between Jianshui Hu and Bairab Co), there was even no light alkaline water to drink so I had to pay extra attention not to miss any possible drinking water supply to fill up my water bag. There were a few very small lakes but all were alkaline puddles which was very shallow, whose depth was no more than the length of a half-finger. These puddles were covered with a hard shell of the mixture of salt and ice which smelled stinking and decaying when getting closer, must be toxic water I supposed. On the shore of this type of small lakes it was muddy soil and very hard to get closer.There was no sign of tundra at all.It was almost half past six when I found some snow corns in a ditch, which was the only drinking water supply of the day. There was a thin layer of melted ice on the surface of the ground near the snow corn, which was very hard to collect and was contaminated by the alkali. The snow corn was the yet melted thick snow, which was shaped like a corn by wind. The snow was quite hard and dry,porous like ice. I crushed a few snow corns, putting them into the water bag.They would be my drinking water tonight. These snow corns were the only one in today's wilderness, I reckoned the reason why they were not melted like others was the soil underneath contained large amount of ice blocks which acted as a freezer.Very strong gale in the night, it was hard to bear the sound of the vibration of the tent. Small single tent was good in the sense that it would not be blown away as long as you stayed inside. But you had to be very careful to set up the tent. I once did not pay much attention when doing so, the tent was blown away by winds, and rolling over like a Giant lantern ... I ran after it, got it back, and was exhausted. In general, it is not possible to fix the tent completely using tent pegs because they were not very much effective like large tents. It was snowing around 23 o'clock, the winds were howling from north,then the falling snow flakes landed on my tent quietly, I finally felt at peace and fell asleep. The flat ancient lake basin, assisting me walking more than 20kmSmall lake en route, toxic waterSnow corns, the only drinking water supply today Day 13 (May 2), 0km, Camping 5117mWaking up in the morning and opening the tent, the heavy snow outside must be sent by the God to force me have a break for the May Day. After lying in for a while, getting up and walking on the snowy ground out I went to have a look around. As first sight there were a herd of chirus. They were plainly to be spotted because they looked like a clear black straight line in the while snow. I returned to get my camera and then followed them to take some pictures. But they were very much alert and kept a quite long distance from me. I felt they were a group of pregnant females, instinctively protecting themselves from any potential harm. I was no longer short of water, the snow gave me a precious supply of drinking water. The problem was that they were very petrol consuming. I tool 8.6 litre of petrol and the oil stove was Duola's MSR. The pot was of 1.5 litre, mainly for boiling water. After several days' experiments, I found that the liquid water needed 16mins and 14-15mins to boil in the morning and evening, respectively. For ice, it would take 35-40mins while for snow it took 45-50mins. Melting snow was a very time and petrol consuming process so if I had a choice between snow and light alkaline water, most of time I would go with the latter. Lying inside the tent, listening to musics,I smoked a cigarette while gazing at the more and more chirus around me. Because it was very cold I had been wearing my shoes all the time. Now I just put my bare feet under the warm sun for some fresh air. I found three cuts in my hands and one in my sole. The cuts were about 4cm in length, looked terrible but it was actually all right really. Half of my toes were injured by to much walking, quite painful. I fetched my medicine bag and found I only got four patches of plasters, a serious mistake. One of the cuts in my hand had never been cured until I was out of this desolate land so as to feel like this finger would drop from my hand at any time. The others quickly recovered in a few days then new cuts appeared elsewhere. This process occurred periodically. I felt that it was somewhat related to the cold, dry weather and the lack of vitamins. The snow rapidly disappeared, which is unique phenomenon in Chang Tang. Because of the low air humidity and the high radiation from the sun, the snow was evaporating very fast, much quicker than the melting speed. Owing to this, the ground was generally still dry after the snow disappeared. In most cases, it would be only 2/5 left in the afternoon around 2 to 3 o'clock and small patches of ground could be seen. It would be completely all right for walking the next day. On the third day there could be some snow left in somewhere the sunlight hard to reach. So generally it could give you three days of water supply after a heavy snow like this. One of the pannier was broken, the most expensive one from deuter series, supposed to be waterproof. I will come back to it at some point later. Everything was covered by snow, no way out Lying in the middle of Chang Tang, listening to Tian Zhen's songs, and smoking Baisha cigarettes, what else can you ask for? The pregnant female chirus in migration, probably heading to Heishi Beihu to give birth([]
插入…水…小说
张韵如去大马旅行，事先并没有计划，只是看到机票便宜，证也容易，才动的念头。现在有时间，跑一趟也无妨，做了些功课，那边的海岛漂亮，但去多了没有再去的欲望，放弃。做一次休闲游吧，不去太多的地方，选择了吉隆坡和马六甲两个地方。在网上买了一本LP中文版的马来西亚、新加坡、文莱，打算按图索骥。 订好机票，等待证。夜观天象，13日有东风，乃出发良日，恰巧俺的机票也是当天午时的。哥们的机票是南宁--广州--吉隆坡。 从市区到机场20元，跑37分钟。机场大巴5：30--22：30，每30分钟发一班。 到了南宁机场，找到南方航空公司的窗口，一女坐台，长相略差，感觉她不好说话。果然态度不友好，问啥都不耐烦。俺想要张往返的机票，别人的攻略说在吉隆坡出边检时要看机票的。此女却说老子的机票不是在他们南航买的，你在那买的机票就找谁要发票，NND老子是在网上买的，现在去找谁要？然后烂指头一指行李托运窗去那边吧。 去到南航的自助办理登机手续的机子，把护照号码输入，结果显示不可以办理，俺OUT了。这破机子只认身份证，不理睬护照。去柜台办吧，工作人员说把我的行李直接发吉隆坡，我说行，省得在广州再办一次。心里却在想中转一次会不会丢啊？然后安慰自己不会的。南宁-广州-吉隆坡的登机牌一起打了出来，10点过了安检，就在里边发呆。 飞机晚点了，某猪还真是乌鸦嘴，气！南宁机场 在机场看到军机在起飞，歼7型飞机，老掉牙了，还在玩。 到广州白云机场B航站楼，走到A航站楼很远，不出站走这边的就我一个人。找到国际出发厅，安检、边检，花了不少时间。然后又是发呆，上网。后来发现我呆错地方了，去吉隆坡的登机口在楼下，登机牌没写。闲着没事，拍飞机玩。 正点从广州起飞，快到吉隆坡的时候，空姐发了入境卡，我有几处不会填，请教了别人，我邻座的见我半天没填完，就帮我了。一个国内的旅行团，都是导游帮填入境卡。21：05到达吉隆坡国际机场KLIA，机场很大，识都是英文和马来文，俺啥也看不懂。跟着别人走，东拐西弯的，走了一段长长的路。到了一个门口出去，别人上了大巴，俺停住，拿出行李单问门口的警察，他指了大巴车，我就上去。车子转了一大圈，走了几分钟到另一个门。找到边检窗口，排队等候。国内团的导游居然还问我该怎么办手续，我就叫她让人排好队就行了。 出了边检就是行李到达厅，运输皮带在转，看不见我的包。心想糟了，就几件行李还没人拿，但没我的，就转了一圈看，还是没有。先是拿这行李单给工人看，比划着说我的行李NO,他们明白了就去找，等一会来说NO。指着一个穿绿衣服的人，让我过去找他。看他也挺忙的，几个人围着。一会去和他比划了一下，明白我的处境，用对讲机叽里呱啦的说了一通，老子一句也没听懂。然后用英语对我说，没有找的你的行李，其实我就听懂两个单词，一个是NO,一个是包。我说中文，现在该怎么办？不知道他听懂没有，让我去一个地方，伸出手比划，往前，再往右，再往前，嘴一直在说。反正俺明白了，就过去找。走到没路的地方有间办公室，文字不认识，见人就拿出行李单给他们看，点头让我坐下，知道找对地方了，后来才知道这里是失物招领处。他们拿着我的单子进屋里兜了一圈，又打了几个电话，告诉我机场没有我的行李，我居然听懂了。然后问我要机票，我说没有，只有登机牌，拿给他们看了，又要护照。让填表，老子只看懂了姓名、护照一栏，其他的都不会填，下面还有丢失物品清单，我更不会填了。他们那没有人会中文，让我填了日期和航班号就算了。双方说话都不懂，就看图说话吧，他们拿出一张印有各种箱包的图给我看，俺明白了，指着一个背包。就在一张表格上写，然后又问我什么就不知道了。还是在图上指指点点，我想了一下，估计是问包的颜色。我穿的是红色的衣服，就扯了一下衣服给他看，他发出一个单词，红色？我说YES。他就笑了，指着图上的红色图案。蒙对了一次。 行李丢失无非是还在广州，没有发过来，或者在这里被人拿走了，前一种情况到是不怕，能找回来。后一种就麻烦了，一定找不回。话说偷行李的没听说过多少，肯定会有。奇怪的是老子并不是很着急，也不是很淡定。在空调下还出了几身汗，要是包真的丢了，损失也够我吐几次血的。 用打印机打了一张单子给我，写些什么也看不懂。不断的做打电话的手势，指着单子上的电话号码。我以为是国内航空公司的电话，就叫他们帮打。但他们说不是，再说什么我就听不懂了。看号码也不象国内的电话，然后叫我去5楼找警察，也不明白为什么。走到换币的地方，有几个国人在那里，问谁懂英语，帮看一下单子写的什么？一个男的帮我看了，说这是一份财产丢失证明，其他也没说什么，帮不了我。还是谢谢他了！ 折腾到23点了，出了三楼行李厅。上五楼找警察，他叫我下三楼，就这样跑了几趟。还是先换钱吧，看了2家银行都是1元人民币换0.42元马币。换了一些，就去买手机卡，也不知道那里有卖。胡乱问卖东西的，都是马来人，不懂中文。遇到一个华人，说了地方就过去，找了好久，机场太大了。 买到电话卡18.5MR，***们帮我试过说好了，我打中国的固定电话，一阵叽里呱啦的话，听不懂。给***们听，她们说了什么我也不懂，反正打不了。和她们只能用几句简单的英语交谈，多的我也不会。打不通她们也没办法，让去三楼一个卖手机卡的地方去问。下去拿着装手机卡的盒子问工作人员，他指了个方向。（语言不通也能办事）找到了，会说几句中文，说我的卡不是在他们那里买的，不理会。只有在他们这买的才帮看，见鬼了。老子试着拨了国内手机，通了。原来这玩意是不能打固定电话的。 继续找俺的行李，在三楼遇到本航班的空姐，她们问了情况，表示帮不了什么，让我去五楼找南航的服务窗口或许他们有会中文的，可以帮我。问我的导游呢，回说是一个人来的，她们很吃惊。 入境大厅在五楼，去找南航的服务窗口，走了两圈都没找到。那里的工作人员都不会中文，但我说自己是chinese的时候，他们都会表示不会中文，如果有会的就叫过来帮我。找到了东方航空的窗口，一个台湾人帮我问了他们，说南航的下班了，明天也是在这个窗口上班。 有个警察岗亭。排队，到我的时候就拿单子去问，他们又是打了一通电话，还是告诉我机场没有我的行李。我想让他们帮打电话都广州去问看行李是否还在那边。怎么说他们都不明白，他们说什么我也不懂。 有几个中国人在旁边，过去问他们有懂英语的吗？一个女孩问了我情况，他们都叫她帮帮我。警察这边很忙，就去了服务台，她用英语和她们说，再翻译给，她们又在打电话查，花了半小时，弄明白了。 失物招领处给我的纸条上的电话是他们的，让我留电话我没留，我根本就没有电话可留。然后说早上6点再来问一次，如果还是没有就别浪费时间了。中国的女孩要坐1点的飞机，先走了，非常感谢她！服务台的***就做了个睡觉的动作，告诉我6点再来。她会在这里等着我，一定帮忙的。 找地方睡觉吧，这时候去宾馆开房不划算，我知道机场有宾馆，要480元人民币一晚。看看边上的座椅躺着几个人，俺也去找了一个位置，躺下，却睡不着。广播老在响，先是马来语，然后是英语，最后是中文，提醒登机的。 眼睛辣辣的，睁开就难受，但又睡不着，起来逛逛又躺下。居然有只小蟑螂来逗我玩，没心思理它，一口气把它吹到地上，过了一会睁开眼睛，又爬到我腿上了，抓住它用指甲掐了一下，放开它还能爬，再掐一次，放地上，没事一样的溜达。不会吧？没掐疼它？闻了一下指甲，有一股蟑螂的狐臭味。去卫生间洗手，非常干净的，有一股浓浓的香水味，一点臭味都没有，比国内的机场好。 折腾到4点睡着了，5点又醒来，肚子饿了，找东西吃。机场的东西很贵，转了一圈还是吃肯德基吧，打发了肚子，继续回去睡觉，熬到6点多。 去找服务台的***，她打了个电话说行李找到，让我接电话，我说我接有什么用，又听不懂。她说是china,一听对方说中文的，告诉说行李找到了，你去找警察办手续去领，一激动赶忙谢谢她，挂了电话就去警察岗亭排队。早上很多人，机场里的工作人员都要来这里登记、领工作牌，还要在左手腕上套一个纸圈，交1MR。到我的时候，警察打电话去三楼，占线，要我在一边等，他先帮别人办事，约十多分钟，另一个女警打电话。然后对我说了一堆话，就听懂了2，以为要叫2MR，拿出来，她又说NO,没办法她就在我的单子上写了2点钟，我指了左手腕说2，yes 。明白了下午2点再来。看了一下有一班广州来的飞机12点到的。能在机场丢行李的机会不多，各位看官要把握好机会啊！ 在机场等到下午2点，浪费时间，进市区去才是正道。溜到一楼找巴士，攻略上说有一辆车贴有2颗星星的是去唐人街的，我看到一颗星的车，没敢上。东张西望的乱转，居然让我找到了大巴车站，看到有去china town的，问了一下，拉客仔说到的，10MR，买了票在等车。其实是两个公司跑这条线，都在拉客，还有人买到8MR的车票。 上车睡觉，要一个小时才到市区的。 到了茨厂街，先急着找Red Dragon Backpacker，事先把地址写在一张卡片上，问了几个人才找到的，住下后才逛街。白天的唐人街不热闹的，卖些小吃、冰镇饮料，空荡荡的没几个人。我住的旅馆 唐人街 突然涌来一群学生，叫喳喳的，在搞什么仪式或活动，全部是讲华语的。聚在一起喊**，振兴华语什么的，开始以为是台湾来的，问一个学生，说是本地的。 人很多几条街都是他们的身影，在相互拍照。一个个的拍，在叫快点，到你了。我插了一句，轮到我了，他们大笑。 唐人街都是中文，看着亲切，没有外来人的感觉。可以说普通话、广东话，小吃也很熟悉。纵横也就几条街，很快就走完了。炙热的阳光，晒得皮肤发烫。喝了一杯罗汉果龙眼冰糖炖冬瓜茶，1.5MR,很多人排队买的，口感不错。 街道狭窄，摊位占据了人行道，延伸到路面了。要在本朝，城管早发威鸟。卫生还好，大家都比较注意。房子大都有些年头了，处在城市中心地带，在某国也是属于强拆对象了。 一个大棚把一条茨厂街罩了起来，大马的雨说来就来，说走就走的，许多当地人出门都带着伞，我的包里也带着伞，用过几次。china town是属于夜色的，下回再表。 看地图，小印度离此不远，想去看看。问了卖冷饮的大嫂，她说了一个方向，只要找到卖黄金的街，一问就知道了。走过一条街转个弯，就不清楚方向了。拿出地图问人，发现很多人不会看。连续有几个人指同一方向，结果走反了。管他呢，都是没来过的地方，那都一样，我也没有固定的目。 看到了老火车站，建于1911年，外表还漂亮，有伊斯兰风格。想进去看看，有门卫守着，锁门的，算了。大巴拉来几车中国游客，一窝蜂的下来拍照，挺热闹的，看着他们很开心的样子。 一对老外情侣，在相互拍，我过示意帮他们拍合影。那女的高兴坏了，亲密的搂着男的拍。然后对我说Thank you very much，一路来都是我对别人说thank you的。俺终于有机会被感谢了，阿门！过街的灯，只要按下去，1、2分钟绿灯就会亮起，行人可以平安过去，我试了还好用。
快点…快点…快到顶了
黄易湖〖前言〗“快起床，今天还要开4个小时！”从美西回来几周了，蟋蟀头还时不时假装我们仍在美西自驾途中。对美国的眷念和喜欢似乎超乎我俩的想象。美国，原本不是我俩向往中的旅行地，它太年轻太现代了，历史厚重、传统文化浓郁的国度才是我们的爱。所以，我俩去尼泊尔印度，去中东的约旦以色列，去泰国柬埔寨，去非洲的肯尼亚，甚至去朝鲜，但美国却迟迟没有排进我们的时间表。偶然的机会，看到一张波浪谷的照片，神奇的地貌激发出我的无限好奇。于是，我想是时候去美国看看了。27天，8000公里，我们在美国西部自驾了一个环线，却发现，那不过是美国广袤西部的一小片地域而已。美国人比想象中更亲切随和，他们不像印度人那样用“where are you from?”来刻意与我们套近乎，但“Have a nice day”却几乎是我们每天都能听到的口头禅。榜自由的美国人，其实却非常遵守规则，在有STOP志的路口，他们一定会停车三秒，即使这个STOP志是在人烟稀少的国家公园，也不会动摇他们对规则的遵守。两个人，一辆Jeep，驰骋在美国西部，这段自由自在，无拘无束的日子，我知道即使在很久以后都会是一段难以忘却的回忆。同事邓姐说，等老了，你可以把这段经历写成游记。我诧异，为何要到年老时才写游记？这不是现在就可以做的吗？当然，她并不知道我已经在论坛上写过无数游记，从我玩户外开始，每一次徒步每一次旅行，我都用文字在论坛上留下足迹。只是，微信的盛行，碎片文化的泛滥，当然，还有我的懒心，我已有一年半没写过游记了。而这一次，我决定不再给自己任何借口。直达电梯D1（9月20日）上海—广州—旧金山1、一张申报单换回300美元罚款2、租车——首度体验美国人的耐心3、飞过大洋来看你D2（9月21日）旧金山—蒙特雷—卡梅尔—大苏尔1、第一次自助加油，101刀？2、半月弯——差点错过的风景3、鸽点灯塔Pigeon Point Light —意义大于景致4、鲜花盛开蒙特雷 5、日落17-Mile Drive6、恋恋不舍卡梅尔Carmel7、意外留宿大苏尔D3（9月22日）大苏尔—圣西蒙—Morro Rock—San Luis Obispo—Solvang—圣巴巴拉—洛杉矶1、失而复得的大苏尔Big Sur 2、两个逗比的Morro Rock3、善意满满San Luis Obispo4、在索尔万Solvang的童话世界里迷失一回又何妨？5、圣巴巴拉的晚餐D4（9月23日）洛杉矶——拉斯维加斯1、到此一游好莱坞2、气质超然罗迪欧3、拉斯维加斯惊艳一刻D5（9月24日）拉斯维加斯——大峡谷国家公园Grand Canyon National Park1、威廉姆斯与66号公路的不了情2、当墨西哥菜遇到浓浓善意D6（9月25日）大峡谷国家公园——Kanab1、在Yavapai Point看日出2、徒步光明天使步道3、巴士红线蜻蜓点水4、日落Grandview PointD7（9月26日）Kanab—Page—Kanab1、波浪谷抽，与幸运擦肩而过2、不期而遇格伦峡谷大坝3、梦幻羚羊谷4、马蹄湾，又遇老友5、夕阳无限好D8（9月27日）Kanab—锡安国家公园—Kanab1、锡安国家公园初印象D9（9月28日）Kanab—布莱斯峡谷国家公园1、红的岩，云的舞2、Sunset Point，岩柱的天然剧场3、徒步纳瓦霍环路4、一不小心，从Sunset走到Sunrise5、徒步皇后花园步道D10（9月29日）布莱斯峡谷国家公园—圆顶礁国家公园—盐湖城1、日出Surise Point2、绚烂如画的12号景观公路3、圆顶礁，没有大门不需收费的国家公园4、超速遇警察D11（9月30日）盐湖城—大蒂顿国家公园1、怀俄明的西部田园诗2、杰克逊的西部牛仔风D12（10月1日）大蒂顿国家公园—黄石国家公园1、大蒂顿东线，明信片般的风景线2、湖光山色大蒂顿D13（10月2日）黄石国家公园1、老忠实泉，忠实大于景致2、徒步牵牛花池环线3、雨意渐浓Black Sand BASIns（黑沙盆地）4、烟雨朦胧Biscuit Basin（饼干盆地）D14（10月3日）黄石国家公园1、寻找大棱镜2、不用下车的火洞湖环线（Firehole Lake Drive）3、彩锅喷泉原来是泥浆锅4、单行道的火洞峡谷环线（Firehole Canyon Drive）5、一不小心到了Mammoth（猛犸热泉）D15（10月4日）黄石国家公园—盐湖城1、再寻大棱镜，意外遇朋友2、迷失在诺里斯间歇泉盆地3、诗情画意MammothD16（10月5日）盐湖城—Moab1、盐湖城买胶卷2、5次停车助人，“我们来自中国！”D17（10月6日）拱门国家公园1、自驾，自助，自由2、艺术家的Three Gossips3、在南北窗拱门飞翔4、DeliCATe Arch，路途比终点更奇幻5、四川榕，不吃也罢D18（10月7日）Moab—拱门国家公园—峡谷地国家公园—Blanding1、半途而废的恶魔花园徒步道2、初见天空之岛3、Upheaval Dome，流星撞地球4、地球上的火星地貌D19（10月8日）Blanding—纪念碑谷—Kanab1、像阿甘一样奔跑2、在纪念碑谷拍一组大片D20（10月9日）Kanab1、波浪谷再次抽2、珊瑚粉沙丘州立公园，没有沙滩摩托就别去了3、日落锡安4、我想开餐厅D21（10月10日）Kanab—锡安国家公园—Kanab1、Angels Landing，勇敢者之路D22（10月11日）Kanab—Las Vegasl1、走，打枪去2、买，买，买D23（10月12日）Las Vgas—死亡谷—优胜美地国家公园1、迷茫死亡谷2、误闯入的风景D24（10月13日）优胜美地1、在Glacier Point，与半圆丘两两相望2、Tunnel View，无处不在的半圆丘3、新娘纱瀑布，你的面纱呢？4、寻找酋长岩，却拾一片秋D25（10月14日）优胜美地—旧金山1、抵达旧金山，归途倒计时D26（10月15日）旧金山1、洗车费100刀？2、招摇过市叮叮车3、花园锦簇，九曲花街4、渔人码头，到此一游5、旧金山，夜的魅结束语 预告片1— 纪念碑谷在纪念碑谷拍一组大片。空旷、荒凉，却有一种惊心动魄的美。 预告片2——拱门国家公园都说Delicate Arce的落日极美，但好天气也需要好运气。没有好运气时，至少我还可以有好心情。 预告片3——优胜美地国家公园在斑斓的秋色面前，很多时候，我只是配角。 预告片4——马蹄湾无数次在别人的照片里看到马蹄湾，但再美的风景，也只是别人镜头里的风景，只有当你亲临此境，此时此地，于是，这风景方才成为你的风景。预告片5——丹麦小镇Solvang如果你去丹麦小镇Solvang，记得一定带上两样东西：漂亮裙子和摄影师。 D1（9月20日）上海——广州——旧金山一张申报单换回300美元罚款3月，在天巡网搜9月下旬上海往返旧金山的机票，最便宜的机票竟然是携程上放出的南航，往返机票仅4967元，5000元不到。好处显而易见，便宜，但缺点是并非直飞，要到广州转机。去时在广州住上一夜，回程时广州中转2小时。但这缺点与便宜的票价相比，几乎可以忽略不见。广州，十年没去了，去时住一晚，喝个早茶再登机，怎么想都挺美。所以，还没办好美国证，我们已把去美国的往返机票买好了。现在办美并不难，自己填好160表，预约好面，带着轻松心情去面，有问必答，过关概率极高。而且，一就是十年。最重要的是，有了美，再办其他国家的证，会容易很多。要说办美的经验，我唯一的建议便是，老实。老实填写表格，老实回答问。只要你不是格外特殊，去美国的目的让面官生疑，一般都易通过。在飞机上时，空姐便发放了《美国海关申报单》。以往，对于其他国家的申报单我一律填写NO，但这次，申报单上关于是否携带了肉类一项，让我有点犹豫。因为小美丽在旧金山，受朋友所托，带给她两袋香肠。行前小美丽告诉我说，只要香肠是真空包装就没问。但看到申报单上这一项，我还是踌躇了半晌，要不要老实申报呢？与蟋蟀头商量了一下，我还是决定申报。后来，我非常庆幸自己这一决定。出海关时，递上护照和申报单，移民局官员问我，“你申报的肉类是什么？”“sausage。”我看着这个长着一张华裔面孔的移民局官员，竟想脱口而出“香肠。” “香肠？好吧，后面海关检查行李时，香肠有可能会被没收，也可能不被没收，但你填写了申报单，至少不会被罚款。” 他说道。再接着问了一下我们的旅行目的地、天数，以及我们在国内都是做什么工作，就让我们分别按指纹，盖章通过了。取行李后，我们推着行李车跟随人流往前走，却不料被不远处的两位海关人员叫住，招手要我们过去检查行李。为什么是我们？看看我们前后也没有其他人被叫过去，心里诧异。检查就检查，反正我们的行李中也没什么违禁物品。我倒是心安理得，早已忘了箱中的两袋香肠。直到海关人员开箱检查，拎出两袋香肠，告诉我说，“这个，没收，罚款300美元。”话音毕，2袋香肠便被扔进了旁边的垃圾桶。300美元？我的头一下大了。想起之前移民官的话，赶紧从包里掏出申报单递过去说道：“我有申报！”海关人员把申报单看了看，问道：“你申报的就是这个香肠？”我赶紧点头。“好吧，不用罚款了，但是下次再也不要带香肠了。” 听她这样一说，我才大吁一口气。而旁边被检查行李的同胞中，月饼也被扔进了垃圾桶。后来与小美丽讨论此事，她说我不应该填写申报表，就是因为填写了申报表，海关才会查验我的行李。可是申报表在我的包里，海关人员检查我的行李前，并不知道我有申报。“你难道取完行李没有上交申报单？不是有人站在那里收申报单吗？”小美丽问。小美丽接着说，取完行李后，应该有人在那里收申报单，填了申报单的走一列，会一个个被检查行李；没填申报单的走另一列，不会被检查行李。但实际上，我们真没看见有人在收申报单，我们也只是跟随人流往前走而已。下一次，我可能就不填申报单了。但这一次，我很庆幸，填写了申报单。后来的美国之行，愈发让我们感受到，美国人对规则的遵守。所以，在美国旅行，还是老实遵守他们的规定比较好。 租车——首度体验美国人的耐心推着行李走出机场。在我想像中，以为租车柜台就在到达大厅里一字排开，没想到，所谓的到达大厅并不大，也没有看到想像中的租车柜台，但示还算清楚，便随着“Car Rental”的示一路走过去，拐了几道弯，进电梯，上楼，出电梯后竟来到一个类似于地铁站台的地方，左右两边分别是蓝线Blue Line和红线Red Line的train。我有点懵了，依稀记得取车单上似乎有提过红线和蓝线，于是，赶紧翻出取车单，这段用红色明的重要文字，我居然这时才仔细阅读：MEETING POINT Car Rental Facility can be accessed by Air Trans train. The RED line train runs between Terminals. The BLUE line train goes from the terminals to the Consolidated Car Rental Facility. Airport signs will direct you to the Train boarding areas.读完后方知，原来红线车是在不同的候机楼之间运行，而蓝线车则是从候机楼到租车区。所以，我们应该坐蓝线车，而终点站就是租车区。很快，蓝线车来了，人流一涌而入，很快就把车厢塞满了。坐蓝线的人，应该都是去租车区取车的吧。我只是想，为何从没人在攻略里提及旧金山机场取车要坐蓝线车呢？旧金山机场的示非常清楚，顺着示走，绝不会迷路。当然，我们顺着这股人流走，也不会迷路。进电梯，下楼，出电梯，终于来到我想像中租车柜台一字排开的租车区，但，租车区比我想像中大很多，完全不是国内机场租车区可比，而且每个租车公司都占了一大片区域，且每个租车公司的柜台前都排满了人。找到我们的租车公司FOX后，买杯咖啡，排队取车。因为小美丽在微信中告诉我，“你们就慢慢排队吧，一般至少排队一小时才能取到车”。排队一小时？看着前面排队的几十个人，再看看五六个柜台前同时办公的工作人员，我很怀疑真的要一小时。但实际结果是，真的排了一个多小时才轮到我们。只不过，这一小时的排队时间里，所有人都安安静静，不急不躁。在后面的27天里，我们陆陆续续在许多细节方面感受到美国人的耐心。比如，开车在路上时，他们不会急于超车，更不会随便插队，你如果开得慢，他就在后面慢慢跟着，不急不缓；比如，我在拍照，挡了他们的路，他们就在后面耐心等着，等我拍完再走，不急不催。后来，我和蟋蟀头讨论，美国人这种耐心，与其说是耐心，但其实是素质。租车柜台前接待我们的又是一位华裔面孔的工作人员，只不过，他一句中文也不会，美语顺溜得如果不看他的脸，肯定会把他当成纯粹的美国人。递过去蟋蟀头的护照和驾驶证，以及取车单，工作人员就开始为我们办理取车手续。至于我们出发前蟋蟀头特地去办理的驾驶证公证件，从头到尾没有用过。其实如果你是在加州租车，是不需要出示驾驶证公证件的，因为加州交规中有明确，认可中国驾照。美国有50个州，每个州都有不同法规，所以租车前要搞清楚这个州是否接受中国驾照。基本上，美国西部的州都认可中国驾照，而东部的州不大认可，需要办理驾驶证公证件。当然，驾照公证件的有效期与驾照一致，所以打算今后还想在国外自驾的，花200元办个公证件也无不可。所以，蟋蟀头说他要去办驾照公证件时，我也不拦他，但没想到的是，办这个驾驶证公证件时，蟋蟀头居然被国内公证处的办证人员给坑了200元。工作人员问他，要几个翻译件？蟋蟀头说，按规矩来吧，应该办几个就几个。然后，办证人员就给他办了2个，一共花了400元。问在于，这两个证件一模一样，没有任何区别，哪有必要弄两个完全一样的翻译件呢？唉，说到国内这些公务人员，除了叹气，可能就是骂人了。租车很顺利，原本预定的车型是Jeep的自由光，工作人员帮我们做了免费升级，升级为Jeep一款更好的SUV，至于是哪个型号，我忘了。当时工作人员说可以帮我升级车型时，我只关注一点，同样价格？在得到他的明确答复后，我就眉开眼笑了。当时有两种车型任我们选择，我是车盲，蟋蟀头对那两款车型也不熟悉，便请工作人员帮忙，他指着一款车型说，“这个更好，很多人都选它。”我俩同意了他的建议。他虽然长着一张华裔的脸孔，我们却相信他，不会像国内那些坑人的官僚。租车推荐网站：https//www.economycarrentals.com/这是一个租车平台，非常好用，重要的是，价格比许多网站便宜。租车订单提交，收到确认单后，才会知道是哪家租车公司提供租车服务。预定时需支付预付款，提车前可以免费取消，所以预定车辆后，如果后面看到租金有降，可以取消订单，重新下单，整个过程方便快捷，且不会有任何多余费用。所以，我原本租的JEEP是Alomo公司提供，两个月后，发现同样车型，租金却便宜了1000多人民币，所以赶紧取消订单，重新下单，然后发现提车的这家公司变成了FOX。就名气而言，Alomo比Fox要知名很多，Fox只是一家小公司，但我们体验下来，无论服务，还是车的质量，都感觉不错。我们的租车费用，9月20日-10月16日，27天，5257元人民币。关于油，选的是满油还车return with full 。 飞过大洋来看你办完租车手续后，上楼提车。不一会儿功夫，我们便驾着一辆八成新的JEEP驶出租车区，正式开始我们的美国自驾行。我们在国内已预先在某宝买了TomTom的导航仪以及美国AT&T的手机卡，选的流量套餐是：高速流量4GB（4G/3G网速）+无限流量（2G网速）。美国虽比中国发达，但手机网络的覆盖率和速度则不敢恭维。AT&T是美国网络覆盖率最广信号最好的运营商，但即使是AT&T，在很多区域仍然没有信号，比如一号公路的部分路段、大峡谷国家公园、Page。。。后来在美西路上驾驶时，时不时没有网络信号，我们也渐渐习以为常。所以，想在美国自驾，只依赖手机Google地图是不行的，必须配备一个GPS，没有网络时依然可以导航。所以，我买的这个手机卡，即使我们在美国呆了整整27天，同时开热点给蟋蟀头使用，但因为美西的部分地区无信号，所以回国时，手机卡仍有很多流量。刚上车的心情，愉悦中带着兴奋，但开出取车区没多久，匝道太多，不熟悉，来不及换道，蟋蟀头便开错道了，绕了好大一圈，才终于驶上正道。出道不顺，却丝毫没影响我们心情。“刚开始嘛，等我熟悉一下就好，” 蟋蟀头的心态永远比我要好，不像我，容易着急。我预先订好的酒店位于旧金山市中心的联合广场附近，距离旧金山机场车程20分钟左右。一路高速公路，倒是方便快捷，只是进入市区后，道路开始复杂起来，特别是酒店附近，单行道很多，车道开错，又得重来，所以，我们竟在酒店外绕了两三圈，才终于在酒店对面的停车场停好车。旧金山市区的车道虽然复杂，却极为有趣，特别是我们酒店所处区域，坡度很大，道路极陡，不便驾驶，却很刺激。酒店不大，小巧干净，胜在位置极佳。前台为我们办理check in手续的年轻男子又长着一张华裔面孔，这有点让我感叹，旧金山的华人还真是多啊，我们初抵美国不久，从入境、租车到酒店check in，工作人员竟都是华裔，不过，这个华裔会说中文，而且说得还较好，应该在美国的时间不长。酒店房间稍旧，但还算干净，只不过床头柜上的电话居然如此复古，让我们有点意想不到。即使在中国，也很少见到这样的电话了。 行李放好后，稍微梳洗，我们便准备出门了，去圣荷西Soe Jose会小美丽。初抵美国的几小时 ，见到太多华裔，真有点怀疑这是美国吗？直到出门时，抬头，看见高高的楼上飘扬着的星条旗，嗯 ，我们的确已经在美国了。 去圣荷西的车程1小时，我有点后悔，应该把这第一晚的酒店订在圣荷西，而非旧金山。开车出发时已是下午5点过，路途中，小美丽打来电话，“我们还是去圣荷西的REI碰头吧，今天是周日，REI晚上7点就要关门，如果你们来我家，我们再去REI，会来不及了。”REI是美国，甚至是全球最大的户外用品店，玩户外的人，到了美国，怎能不去逛REI？甚至于，REI对我们的吸引力比outlets还要大。可以不去逛Outlets，但绝不能不去逛REI。REI在美国有上百家门店，圣荷西这家门店规模不算大，远不及旧金山市区的那家REI。但当时留给我们shopping的时间仅半小时，即使门店不算大，但对于这半小时来说也太大了。店里的户外用品琳琅满目，让我们目不睱接，所幸旅程结束时还有机会去旧金山的REI购物，否则，只留半小时给REI，会让我们悔青了肠子。小美丽说，我们是有多爱户外啊，在美国的第一张合影，居然就是在户外店。 离开REI，小美丽和男友Amir带我俩去吃饭。我们来到一个类似于酒吧的典型美式餐厅，餐厅内响着热闹的音乐，四面墙上挂满电视，正播放着各类节目，以体育赛事为主。Amir说想请我们吃最正宗的美式美食，而汉堡和鸡翅就是美国年青人的最爱。意想不到的是，美国人竟爱吃辣，而辣鸡翅就是这家餐厅的主打。小美丽知道我们嗜辣，尤其蟋蟀头，无辣不成菜，所以特地点了最辣的鸡翅，连服务员也再三与她确认，“确定要点重辣吗？”一大篮辣鸡翅端上来，辣是足够辣，但辣得太直接，除了辣，还是少了许多滋味，不像四川的麻辣、湖南的香辣或者贵州的酸辣。就美食来说，美国当然无法与中国相比。原以为我们会难以忍受美国单调的饮食，但没想到，我们在美国的27天里，虽吃得简单，却津津有味，不觉厌烦。蟋蟀头爱上了牛排，而我则爱上了可乐。一般来说，去一个国家旅行，如果适应了当地的饮食，便没什么不能适应了。 Amir是小美丽读书时跑步认识的，对她一见钟情。与她一样，喜欢运动，热爱户外。彼时我们四人吃饭时他还是她的男朋友，待我们美西玩了一圈，回国后，他们已注册结婚，成为她的先生。可能小美丽自己也没想到，她的姻缘会发生在地球的另一半。但其实啊，这世间所有的情缘，其实都是恰逢其时，早有安排。 D2（9月21日）旧金山—蒙特雷—卡梅尔—大苏尔第一次自助加油，101刀？按计划，今天会沿一号公路，从旧金山开到圣西蒙。沿途会经过的小镇有：Pacifica——半月弯Half moon Bay——santa cruz —— 蒙特雷Monterey——17 Mile Drive——卡梅尔Carmel——大苏尔Big Sur——圣西蒙SanSimeon，其中红字的是一号公路上的精华点，需停车游玩。车程6小时，加上游玩拍照时间2-3小时，预计全程8-9小时，只要早上9点出发，这一天的行程应该是绰绰有余。绰绰有余，其实是我想得太美。计划就是计划，而变化永远会比计划要多。早上9点， 我们已经在酒店check out，准备上路了。这个时间出发，尚在可控中。蟋蟀头没有赖床不起，让我甚为满意。 酒店对面有一个公共停车场public parking，我们的车就停在那里。一晚的停车费.74，在酒店前台缴费。前一天停车时，告知工作人员我们住对面酒店，停车场便出具了一张单子，让我们在酒店缴费盖章，然后便可以停一天一夜。.74，好贵的停车费，但如果不是住对面酒店，估计停车费用更贵。照美国这种停车费准来看，中国的停车费还大有上涨空间。好在美国只是城市内要收停车费，国家公园是不收停车费的，否则我们这自驾27天，停车费都是好大一笔数字。此时停车场外已排成长队。我一边排队，一边心里嘀咕着，怎么取车也要排队？9点过的加州阳光，已经毒辣得人睁不开眼。我傻乎乎地排队十多分钟后，忽然想起，这停车场里好像有一个租车office，会不会有可能这些排队的人是为租车，而非停车场取车？我走到最前面一看，果然不出所料，停车场里有一个Alamo的租车办公室，难怪这里会排成长队。有点后悔刚才自己不闻不问，就开始傻傻地排队，但也庆幸，仅排队十多分钟而已，没有浪费一小时才发现原来站错队。耽误了半小时，上午930，我俩终于妥妥地坐在车里，把Pacifica设置为我们的第一个导航点，便出发，正式开始我们的美西自驾行。但这一天正值美国的工作日，旧金山市区内拥堵的车流，再次出乎我预料。google地图显示的只需25分钟即可抵达Pacifica，看来是不可能了。我们的车跟在有轨电车叮叮车的后面，缓慢地行驶着。慢摇慢晃的叮叮车，让我们生出极大兴趣，决定待回程时一定要坐一趟叮叮车。实际上，穿行于闹市区的叮叮车早已不仅仅是单纯的交通工具，而成为旧金山的一大风景，是来旧金山的游客必定会体验的项目之一。 堵车、单行道、对路不熟，这几项加起来，导致我俩开着车在市区内兜了好几转才终于开出旧金山，蟋蟀头开玩笑说，他现在已对旧金山的路非常熟悉了。在Pacific找加油站加油时，才发现时间已经过去了整整一个半小时。而这原本应该是计划中的20分钟车程！之前看攻略，发现大家都喜欢到加油站所属小超市里找店员，付现加油，主要是因为自助加油刷信用卡时，很多时候需要输入美国当地的5位数ZIP CODE，我们国内的信用卡，哪有什么美国邮编啊，所以无法自助加油。但第一次加油，我仍想体验下自助加油，万一可以刷卡呢？美国的汽油分为Regular、Plus、Premium三种，一般选Regular（87）即可。加油机上有操作说明，简单易懂。把信用卡插入后，快速拉出，然后按提示选择credit card，如果没有跳出提示让你输入ZIP CODE，便可进行下一步，取油枪，选择要加的油号（Regular 87），开始加油了。油箱加满后，油枪会自动跳掉，然后便会从信用卡里扣除相应油费。但我们的第一次自助加油，卡在了第一步。信用卡插入后，如果没有快速拉出，便不会进入到下一步。但当时我并不清楚这一点，不知问出在何处。于是，我便进店里请求帮助。一个大叔热情地随我出来，教我一步步操作完。最后，油加满，油费的收费单自动打印出来，上面显示加油费.62(单价.099/G)。当时，我并不知道我的信用卡被扣1，离开加油站一小时后，才发现招行发给我的微信显示，我的卡在加油站被扣了1。我吓了一跳，赶紧掏出收费条，再看一遍，但上面明明注明加油费.62，我又怎么会被扣1呢？可当时已离开加油站一小时，返回去询问是不可能了，收费条上也没有加油站的电话，唯一的办法只有打给招行。招行服务很好，打通电话后，测出我是从国外打的电话，便自动转入人工服务，省去我一步步操作所需时间。向招行确认后，当时的确从我的卡里刷走101美元，而非101元人民币。“加油怎么可能要101美元？”我大惑不解，更被这莫名其妙刷掉的101美元感到心痛。招行客服安慰我说，他们会跟踪这笔交易，三天后给我回复。当然，最后被刷走的实际金额仍然是$18.62，而非1。这1应该只是预授权而已。后来自助加油时也曾发生，明明加油.16，而当时却只被刷走。我自然也没有捡到这个便宜，该付多少钱最后仍会付多少钱。美国发达的信用卡机制，应该不会让人随便有机可乘，但这不经我许可，便随易乱扣的预授权，还是让人有点害怕。 半月弯——差点错过的风景加州一号公路的大名，你即使没去过，也不会没有听说过。蜿蜒于美国西海岸，从北向南将旧金山与洛杉矶相连在一起的一号公路，是所有人从旧金山自驾到洛杉矶的不二之选。所不同的只在于，你会在这条路线上花多少时间，两天，三天还是一周？甚至于，你愿意在路途中的某个小镇住上一个月，也不是不可能。一号公路太美，而路上那些小镇又如此梦幻，以至于在走完这条路线后，让我知道，我只留了两天时间给一号公路，是多么愚蠢的一个决定。但我的选择不仅是我的无奈，也是大多到美西自驾游的人的无奈，无奈的原因无非就是——时间。虽然一号公路的大部分路段都是沿海公路，开错路的可能性极小，但为了不错过每个景点，所以我们的GPS是一个点一个点地进行设置。离开Pacifica时，我无意中忘记了半月弯Half moon Bay，而把导航的下一个点设置到鸽点灯塔Pigeon Point Light 。当蓝色的太平洋进入视线后，自驾便多了一分浪漫与惬意。见路边停着几辆车，我俩便也停车下来，想看看他们停车的风景。走出车门，一阵海风迎面而来，带着阳光的气息。远处，蔚蓝的海水，冲刷出一段月牙般的海湾，拿出手机google地图一看，我们此时果然是在半月弯。不该你错过的风景，怎么也不会错过。 鸽点灯塔Pigeon Point Light——意义大于景致距离半月弯仅半小时车程的鸽点灯塔，是加州州立历史地，始建于1870年，至今已有145年，仍在被美国海岸警备队使用，是美国西海岸线上现役灯塔中最高的一个。树立在灯塔前的一个木牌上有鸽点灯塔的介绍，对它的评价极高，称它为加州的精神象征。我不懂为何灯塔被抬到精神象征的高度，难道是因为它在这一个半世纪里，指引了无数从加州海岸南面航行的船只，安全进入旧金山湾？ 如果你仔细观察灯塔，会发现它的顶端光秃秃的，那个巨大的灯塔透镜呢？灯塔顶部的的菲涅尔透镜由1008块玻璃组成，是当时世界上最大的灯塔透镜，据说发出的光线能让40多公里外的船只看见。之前每年的11月，这里都会举行一次盛大的活动，用100多年前的方法来点灯，利用煤油灯和透镜所折射出来的光芒，相当于点亮了50万支蜡烛，从而吸引了无数摄影师前来拜访。当然，今年的11月是不会有这个活动了。因为那个有名的灯塔透镜，现在正乖乖地躺在灯塔附近的小屋里。虽然灯塔在无数次风暴以及1906和1989年的地震中幸存，但灯塔透镜仍在岁月的磨砺中受到损坏，需要修缮。目前正由加州州立公园基金会，一个独立的非盈利组织筹集修复灯塔所需资金，一旦资金筹措到位，便会启动修复计划。灯塔透镜不再高高在上，却给了我们一个近距离观察它的好机会。 我没有灯塔情结，所以这个高高矗立的白色灯塔，对我没有太多吸引力。对我来说，它不过是一号公路上的一个景点，顺路拜访而已。相较而言，这海上的风景更为养眼。白色的浪花重重拍打着礁石，却能抚平心里泛起的层层涟漪，直到内心如海水一般纯粹。 鲜花盛开蒙特雷在一号公路的所有景点中，从景致而言，鸽点灯塔是微不足道的，再加上仅一个灯塔而已，所以我预计呆上20分钟，拍张纪念照就可以离开了。但，我们却在鸽点灯塔停留了整整2个小时，因为蟋蟀头喜欢灯塔，不仅从各个角度拍灯塔，仔细观察灯塔透镜，甚至连灯塔旁边的纪念品小屋也要慢慢逛一逛，花32.7刀买下一个灯塔纪念品。看看时间已到下午230，我们却还逗留于鸽点灯塔，几乎可以说是一号公路的启始点，我快疯了。蟋蟀头不做攻略，攻略由我一人包办，所以虽然他在开车，却几乎不清楚我们每天的行程，我只是在每天出发前给他大概讲一下我们当天的车程，以及会去的地方。我反复对他强调，和后面的风景相比，这里什么也不算，而后面的景点还有一长串。就这样不断催促，我们竟然也停留了2个小时。从鸽点灯塔到蒙特雷，车程1小时20分钟。为节省时间，我们在路上的超市买了点零食，在车上解决了午餐。后来的20多天，在车上解决午餐甚至晚餐，早已成为常态。下午4点到达蒙特雷。之前看攻略，提到蒙特雷，一般都是讲它的渔人码头，以至于我心目中的蒙特雷，就是一个喧哗的海边小城。但第一眼的蒙特雷，却着实把我们惊艳了。鲜花盛开，安静雅致。 街上几乎无人，此时的蒙特雷，静谧得如同一座空城。我知道蟋蟀头已经开始后悔，之前在鸽点灯塔浪费了太多时间；而我也开始后悔，为什么不在蒙特雷住上一晚？当然，后面的小镇，各有特色，而每个小镇都令我们有想住下来的冲动。 蒙特雷的气息令人着迷，适合陶醉，也适合沉迷。假装扮下文艺，也无不可。 去蒙特雷游玩的人，大多都直奔渔人码头（Fisherman's Wharf）。有人曾在攻略里大力推荐，认为蒙特雷的渔人码头比旧金山的渔人码头更值得一去，因为这里海狮更多。所以离开鸽点灯塔时，我们把GPS直接定位到蒙特雷的渔人码头。在渔人码头附近看到一个停车点，正打算停车，工作人员却告诉我们说，现在这里暂时不能停车，要换另一个地点停车，并给了我们一张纸，上面有停车点的具体地址以及详细的路线指引。但用google地图搜索后发现，工作人员介绍的这个停车点距离渔人码头很远，走过去可要花一点时间。蟋蟀头说，我们自己另找停车位吧。便思忖着去找一个路边的停车位。在美国停车，主要有两种，一种是公共停车场public parking，另一种是路边停车street parking。路边停车有停车线，而且停车位旁通常有咪表，需先缴费买停车时间。但我们居然在蒙特雷的一条小街上找到一个没有咪表的停车位。看看前后，路边上都停满车，而且的确没有咪表，当然也没有像国内那样的收费员。后来在美西自驾20多天，停过各式各样的地方，在旧金山、洛杉矶停车时支付过高昂的停车费，也在国家公园和所有的小镇几乎没支付过停车费，这才发现美国的停车费制度其实非常合理。那就是收费并非一刀切，而且收费是为控制，并非只为赚钱。人少车少的地方，不收停车费；人多车多的地方，收高昂的停车费。但即使是旧金山，到了晚上，路边停车也几乎不收费，因为这时候车少啊，没有必要收费。 传说中“游客云集”的渔人码头，人并不多。难道，现在是蒙特雷的淡季？但其实，渔人码头的栈道两边都是餐厅、咖啡馆和酒吧，当时已是下午4点过，既过了午餐时间，也不到晚餐时间，游客们可能在潜水，也可能在观鲸船上，码头上人不多倒也正常。 太平洋的海水，真让人怀疑是神不小心泼洒下的蓝墨水，蓝得如此纯净。但如果蒙特雷是一个人迹罕至的孤岛倒也罢了，明明这里游人趋之若鹜，海水却依然如此干净清透，没有国内景点常见的垃圾与海水中脏污的浮沫，是令我们诧异的。 海狮呢，海狮呢？我心心念念只想搜寻海狮。明明在别人的照片里看见，蒙特雷渔人码头的海岸边趴着一群群的海狮，为何我却只见海鸟，不见海狮。为此我还特地去问了一个看上去是久住此地的大叔，问他哪儿可以看见海狮？他说，没有海狮了。再问为什么？他的回答倒很简单，“no food, no sea lion。”海狮其实是一种迁徙性动物，会因食物或交配而进行迁徙，并不会永居某地。旧金山渔人码头的39号码头，在1989年旧金山大地震后，迁徙来了上千头海狮，并繁衍得越来越多，却也曾因为海狮要到南方海域交配，而突然之间消失得无影无踪。所以，如果你没在旧金山和蒙特雷的渔人码头看到海狮，其实也不奇怪。 没有看到海狮，但面向大海，弹支曲子，也很不错哦。虽是“假装”弹琴，但蒙特雷明亮的蓝天，纯粹的大海，此情此景，都令人心生留恋。 在蟋蟀头的镜头中，蒙特雷既可以简约清丽，也可以用多重爆光玩点技术。而重点是，我俩都爱蒙特雷。([]

何浩诚圣诞节从阳朔回到常德后,努力工作的同时,又思索着下一步的驴行方案.有一个心结在我心中纠结了半年之久,说来自己都觉得脸红,那还是去年八月在成都宽窄巷子遇到一群去梅里雪山驴行的美国驴子,第一次听到梅里雪山的名字竟然出自老外之口,确实令闹哥汗颜.,自此,梅里雪山的日照金山-----卡瓦格博峰便时常的出现在我的脑海中,从网友各种关于云南的帖子中吸取经验,为了梦中的卡瓦格博,赶紧不惜血本从淘宝购买了哥仑比亚加厚羽绒服和佳能70---200远焦镜头并初步拟定了一条十五天左右的驴行线路.常德-----昆明------丽江------束河-----虎跳峡徒步------香格里拉---独克宗古城--葛丹松赞林寺-------梅里雪山------雨崩徒步-------丽江-------昆明------常德.线路搞定后正是春节前后,常德至昆明的特价机票是一票难求,看来只有耐着性子慢慢的等待时机了. 生活在希望中的人是幸福的,每天工作之余在自已的qq空间里听着许巍的蓝莲花,幻想着束河的小资,虎跳峡的雄伟,香格里拉那永不消逝的地平线,葛丹松赞林寺的藏族佛教文化,卡瓦格博那神奇的日照金山,雨崩那迷人的藏族风情,就在这一切的一切都在美好的期待中时,大胆邀请我和他一同驴行稻城,亚丁.虽然我知道稻城,亚丁有着非常美丽的风景并具有十分挑战性的徒步线路,但并不在我今年的驴行计划之中,他得知我的彩云之南徒步计划后马上赶来看攻略,时间,交通,景点,住宿及费用控制一应具全,立马决定要和闹哥徒步云南,随即加入的有丫头,长沙的玄色及最后成行的另外五位长沙驴友,独驴变为加强班,何乐而不为.人多力量大,大胆马上查到三月四日常德飞昆明的机票270元,三月十五日昆明飞常德的机票199元,机会难得,事不宜迟,赶紧订票. 期待着三月四日插上隐形的翅膀飞往向往中的彩云之南,尽情的放飞自己.但多次独驴的经历己使自已成熟了许多,心态平和了不少,不再有往日即将远行的亢奋.因为我深深的知道,我每次开心的旅行背后,都有妻子,母亲,儿子和朋友们默默的祝福和支持,这是鱼儿对水的依恋,这是树叶对根的情谊.不知不觉中期待的时刻终于到了,老同学徐勇盛情的为我在彪二餐馆举办送行宴,捷安特车友波菜,观潮,东东,佳佳也是在不断的玩笑声中给与我祝福,真诚的谢谢你们,有亲人及你们的支持与祝福,我将飞得更高,走得更远............. 我们的机票描述在机埸要办的第一件事就是先用身份证办理机票手续图片IMG_8832.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]出行前的大胆一直处于高度的亢奋中,在候机厅里也是精神抖擞图片IMG_8831.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]望着远处的飞机,淡定的吸根烟再走吧图片IMG_8841.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]临上机前,机场的服务员跑过来问我,是不是你的三角架忘在安检处了.看样子我被机场严格的安检弄晕了头,还没出常德就开始丢东西.不过从内心来讲真的很感谢这位服务员.[ 此帖被陈为民在11-3-19 0201重新编辑 ]图片IMG_8857.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]很多年没坐飞机出行了,记忆中上次坐飞机是九四年从长沙飞广州,最近两年也经常和捷安特的车友一起夜骑斗姆湖来看大鸟,但很少如愿.图片IMG_8867.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]在飞机上看到邻坐的美女在吃零食,才感觉我们把吃的东西全放在托运的登山包里绝对是个错误.不过大胆还是挺有办法的,美言几句,居然弄到了一袋九三鸭霸王的鸭肠子,那味道,别提有多爽了.[ 此帖被陈为民在11-3-19 0212重新编辑 ]载着梦想腾空而起从飞机上看云海绝对是一种心旷神怡的感觉.图片IMG_8901.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]因为司职摄影,所以两位小兄妹特意照顾闹哥坐在靠窗的位置,期待有好的pp献给畅游天下的朋友们.近在眼前的云海时而若隐若现,气象万千.图片IMG_8923.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]我浮在天空里自由的很无力图片IMG_8927.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]天空明净蔚蓝,白云朵朵,轻风悠悠.在这云蒸霞蔚的世界里,是怎样的一幅景象呢？这里,一样的风霜雨雪,一样的日月星辰,一样的春夏秋冬,不一样的是我们追寻梦想的心.图片IMG_8908.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]飞行不到两个小时便到了昆明图片IMG_8976.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]从飞机上看到的昆明货运编组站图片IMG_8977.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]降落在巫家坝机场图片IMG_8979.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]1922年，当时云南的“土皇帝”唐继尧要建立空军，从法国驻越南空军手中买了30架旧战斗机和15架旧教练机，就在昆明巫家坝修了个飞机场。图片IMG_8980.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]昆明机场，原是巫家村的牧场。昆明人把平地称为“坝子”，此牧场便得名巫家坝。光绪年间，清军在此建兵营，巫家坝成立练兵场。辛亥*****那一年，蔡锷率新军第十九镇七十四在巫家坝兵营发动“重九起义”，推翻了云南的清政府。1922年，巫家坝陆军操场被改建为飞机场之后，从1939～1945年间进行过两次扩建，成为我国抗战时期最繁忙的军民两用机场。图片IMG_8981.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]始建于1922年的巫家坝机场是中国的第二座飞机场，“重九起义”蔡锷部队的驻地、讨袁护国新军的大操场，抗日战争中美国陆军第十四航空队“飞虎队”的重要基地，闻名于世的驼峰航线的终点站,为我国抗日战争的最后胜利立下过汗马功劳.巫家坝机场在我国近代历史上具有重大的历史纪念意义和价值。 [ 此帖被陈为民在11-3-19 2018重新编辑 ]图片IMG_8995.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]一下飞机我们便感受到春城昆明的迷人魅力,阵阵春风拂面,令人心旷神怡.图片IMG_8996.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]出机场后我们一行三人打了个的士赶往火车站与先期到达的长沙驴友会合.图片IMG_8998.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]在火车站广场和先期到达的玄色会合后便找到一家滇菜馆先饱餐一顿.图片IMG_9003.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]玄色,长沙资深驴友,她中午飞到昆明后帮我们购买了当晚去丽江的卧铺票,另外五位成行的长沙驴友因为没买到特价机票改坐火车过来,故行程要比我们晚一天.至此,三人团变为了四人帮.图片IMG_9004.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]背上装备,徒步前往车站.图片IMG_9011.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]在候车大厅我们是一道靓丽的风景线,浙江的驴友给我们来了张合影.[ 此帖被陈为民在11-3-19 2109重新编辑 ]图片IMG_9015.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]k9606次双层全卧铺车晚十点二十四分由昆明开往丽江图片IMG_9018.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]在候车时遇到四名浙江,广西,福建,山东的驴友,他们计划用三个月的时间徒步梅里雪山大环线,在火车上我们留下了联糸方式.佩服他们的勇气并祝他们一路顺风图片IMG_9019.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]在火车上,大胆还沉浸在幸福之中.图片IMG_9026.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]在车上的过道上,玄色给我们秀了一把瑜迦,其优雅的身姿令我们叹服不己.在火车上舒服的睡上一觉,凌晨六点到达丽江车站.(
