引子:穿越狼塔线的最佳季节又到了,狼塔线(新疆户外更喜欢称其为“狼C线",主要是为了区别于狼塔a线、狼塔b线两条相对较简单的线路的缘故吧)以其神秘的传说、绝美的风光和三高(高危险、高强度、高海拔)而蜚声全国户外界,被越来越多的驴友所追捧。由于穿越狼塔的难度已经远远超过著名的夏特古道,所以每年能有机会走狼塔线的驴友也是少之又少。 这篇穿越狼c的日志,是2009年国庆节长假穿越狼c回来所作。由于新疆断网近一年,故还没有机会公开发表。我们这次穿越后,至今并没有其他的队伍再走狼c。文中所称的狼c既是狼塔线。希望这篇日志对你了解狼塔,穿越狼塔有所帮助。 先上一张穿越狼塔的照片,这是在翻越3960米的蒙特开增大阪途中狼塔三险之一----空中栈道美 女 与 狼 c2009版狼塔c线穿越攻略简介--- D3日:10月2日,晴天 早9:00拔营。从马鞍山营地下降200米,来到一不知名的小河沟。 这时,走在前面的“石头”和“飞翔”高兴地大呼小叫! 原来,他们在沟底下,捡到了昨天被大风吹走遮阳帽和背包罩 再往前走,经过一段约30米高,坡度达50度小陡坡,就来到一条较大的小河边。 河水很清,沿河谷顺流向前走几十米,跨过一座简易木桥,再爬过一块档在前面的大石头,传说中的狼塔C线空中栈道就已经开始了。 今天的大部分路段,将不停地在木桥—河道—空中栈道—马道之间来回穿梭切换。在狼c,这样的简易木桥对我们来说简直就是南京长江大桥呀在五、六十米高的断崖上开凿出来空中栈道,即让人兴奋刺激,更让人紧张害怕! 换个角度,再来看看这段栈道 栈道之间是马道连接。 可是,近三分一的马道都是四十五度以上的陡坡,需要手脚并用攀爬。爬得那个累呀! 更别说部分让人心惊肉跳的斜切路段了! 稍有不慎,就会“驴”失前蹄,抱憾终身的。(我们就是沿右手方向横切到下面的台普西克玛河谷,这段横切坡度在45度以上,局部达到50度以上,需要格外小心) 大家格外小心地穿过三段不太长的空中栈道,再爬上一个近百米的四十五度陡坡,然后斜切一个坡度四十五度长约四、五百米的碎石坡,就来到狼C路上著名的台普希克玛河谷。 中午12:30到达台普希克玛河谷。 简单午餐后,于1:30分出发,沿河谷一路上行。 反复在简易木桥间跳跃,有几处干脆就是独木一根。 队员们行走在独木桥上,练就着平衡木的功夫!到最后,连独木桥也没有了,还是换鞋淌水过河吧 在这段路上,我们还捡到了2008年狼c队伍里一位队员被河水冲走的包。 事故地点在老虎口,后文中还将提到。 相机、头灯等还在,只是已经无法使用。 台普希克玛河,是发源于狼塔的呼图壁河一条主要支流。该地的河谷狭窄,河水湍急。 传说中的狼C空中栈道,绝大部分都分布这段河谷里。 河谷两侧的山体极为陡峭,人工开凿出来的狭窄的空中栈道,在垂直的峭壁上盘旋而上,通过时让人心惊肉跳。空中栈道时而通向山梁,时而进入谷底,走在上面其实就是沿空中栈道在翻山越岭,体力消耗巨大。 河谷里植被丰富,次生林密集。虽然错过了最美的季节,但是,此时河谷丰富的植被,亦然色彩斑斓,红、黄、绿相间。谷底的台普希克玛河水清澈透亮,印衬出一副美轮美奂的河谷风光! 相信9月中旬来这里的山友应该可以欣赏到更美的台普希克玛河谷景色! 美丽的台普希克玛河谷风光 秀美的景色总是能让人格外的激动,有时还情不自禁会做出一些出格的事情。“高疯子”就是其中一个,经不住清澈透明的河水和两岸油画般的色彩的引诱,这位冬泳健将竟然出人意料地迅速把自己扒光,在温度只有七、八度冰河水里,来了个天体冷水浴!(照片未经本人同意请勿外传O(∩_∩)O哈哈~) 吓地两位女队友“石头”和“eleven”赶紧躲得远远的,烧水做饭去了. 中午3:30分,我们来到了空中栈道上很出名的那段栈道。说它出名,是因为这段栈道被山体塌方切断,已经无法正常通行。更重要的理由是,去年在这里曾经发生过山友堕包事件(幸好掉下去的是包而不是人!)。 下面插播一段“广告”,是我的队友也是狼c队伍里的二位美女之一关于这次狼c穿越的文字:狼c,走还是不走,是个问 作者:eleven “狼C”——走还是不走,是个问(上篇) (首先申明,这不是一篇游记、指南或攻略,这只是两个月后个人“徒后感”,如果记忆发生偏差,关于路途记述有差错之处,纯属“必然”,请各位大虾纠偏。虽然我在这段时间也梦回了几回,可是每次梦回都无端的生出些故事情节来,并且不知道该将这些情节安在哪里!) 酒的好喝正在于他的难喝。 ——《伤城》 走完这条线路后,偶而会和周围不曾徒过但却不断对徒步这事向往之的个别朋友聊关于“徒步”这档事,当我假模假势地说起这事时,内心的真实想法是:呸,就这破事儿有什么可聊的,没有开始徒却向往徒的家伙们总是想把这事提高到一个高度,俗称“升华”,无论是从哲学意义还是精神境界(如同当初的我,居然可以用“当初”,羞愧难当。如果非要提高高度,那就是头的那句了),其实呢,去他的,不过走走路而已,结局就是所有的关节不太灵光,象我这样的,居然还能整出“习惯性呕吐”这样的问来。所以劝你,别走!(这态度象极了小牛童鞋打电话让我选择“狼C”去还是不去时的态度。)。 大概9月中上旬时,小牛打电话说“刚刚好”他们准备走“狼C”,问我去否,我犹犹豫豫地不做选择,话里的意思大致是要小牛帮我做个决定,如果他觉的我能走,我就走,如果他觉的我不能,我再考虑考虑(意思是他如果愿意在路上帮我,就走,如果不帮就不走,阴险。),可是他就甩下一句话:“自己都觉的不行,那还走个屁呀,退坑!”,经过几个晚上的挣扎,我还是决定去,即使做出决定时还是两腿发抖。 这期间时不时朋友打来电话说天气预报说那几天变天,或者去户外店买东西也被店主一番规劝,“鲜橙多”在电话里大小道理又统统讲了一遍,然后参加两次碰头会,石头还是如此的坚定,打电话给背包问:猜猜看还有谁,背包答:大脚(多谢背包赐名)。 对于我来说也许不该放弃此次机会。参会的人如此激动、兴奋,以致于从“征途户外”出来,坐在下行的电梯里,大家只顾着讲话,完全没有注意到电梯压根就没动,没有人按1楼楼层。 走此线的家伙,脑子统统有问。在回家的路上,“树”给我做了最后一次思想工作:既然决定去,其他的事情一概不想,只要计划上路就好。 于是9月30日凌晨,背上背包,冲向集合点,讲出的话轻松,可是心里还是没底。 人陆续来齐,17座的车被“刚刚好”安排的刚刚好能塞下14头脑残患者及14坨大包,土狼童鞋坐地上,可坐可躺。 “刚刚好”当然坐在前,带路,于是在这条正儿八经的宽宽的公路上带错了进呼图壁县的路,这还没进山就错了,进山怎么办?(事实证明,这条对于刚刚好来讲梦回八百遍的“狼C”线,几乎比从他家到“征途户外”的路还清楚)。 “大自在”在自己店门前大摆早宴席,奶茶、包子款待这14头牲口。 (7天后,从山里了来,我深深理解大自在为何如此激动,快要拥抱我们中的每一个人了,那场景再回忆起来,颇有“风萧萧兮易水寒,壮士一去兮不复返”的感觉,当然,咱不“复返”,咱直接就去巴仑台了)。 吃好喝好,拎着“鸡蛋饼”真正上路,非常顺利,路修的很好,以致于我们可以少走十几公里的路。到达起始点,下车,整理背包,放鞭炮,与司机师傅告别,约定大概出山的时间,然后,跨出第一步。 从开始,我就有点吃不消了,上上下下在树林里穿行,没有停歇,好容易熬到午饭点,鸡蛋饼瞬间就没了。当然午饭点对于“疯子”来讲完全没选好———在河边(可是谁饭点不选在河边呢?),“疯子”象“精卫”一般,目就是要把河填了,并且不论什么河,于是在我们用午餐时,“疯子”正奋力搬着一块块的大石头扔向河里,待快吃好时,疯子停手了,开始用餐(难道为了餐前消化?)。 继续前行,仅仅是这一天的路,我已经在某些地段手脚并用了,回头还不晚,并且飞跃已经在怂恿了,可是谁甘心呢? “飞跃”领队之领队,捣乱军心,拉出去砍了(阿弥陀佛)。 路走的没有尽头,这一天却快到了尽头,天色渐渐暗了下来,我和飞跃走在最后,前方的人马可能已陆续到达营地,可是我还没看到营地在哪儿,有点急可还是得听领队之领队的教化:走十分钟,飞跃同志说,歇会儿,咱吃个黄瓜;再走十分钟,飞跃同志说,歇会儿,我抽根烟,再走十分钟,飞跃同志说,歇会儿,要不咱吃个西红柿(其实有在野外,想想这待遇,相当不错)? 如此停停走走之后,我终于在这条马道看到了尽头,前方已有星星点点的亮光,快到营地了,可飞跃老先生还是停停走走,最后,道出真言:反正快到营地了,咱就慢点走,等到了营地,帐篷也搭起来了,饭也做得了,咱到了,吃了就睡! 这理儿不错,可还是得看情况。到了营地,我这边确实帐篷和饭都好了,等我安心吃饭时,营地响起的是飞跃的吼声:菜豆,在哪儿呢,这到营地半天,怎么连帐篷还没扎? 阴谋未得逞的人,通常都有点躁,可以理解。 (这天我们遇到了上海队7人,两名向导,5名队员,队伍至此扩大为21人。) 7点多起床,9点出发,我们还没吃饭,至尊宝与无怨无悔已收拾好背包,随时准备出发。 十月一日,我们要翻过白杨沟达阪,据刚刚好说,白杨沟达阪让很多人知难而返,事实证明这是很有道理的。走了一上午,不断上升,逐渐已看不到树木,我们在石子山上由开始的逛奔到晃荡,然而始终未见达阪真面貌,达阪究竟在哪儿,在我已不怎么想要知道答案时,看到了走在最前面的“背包客”“石头”“树”等一伙人在休息(这伙人休息就是重要信息),或许要到了。 到达午休点,吃过后,对于神秘白杨沟达阪的描述是,走过N个前方能看到的大大大山坡,他们将这称为“台阶”,然后就能到白杨沟达阪的脚下了。开始上台阶吧,“飞翔”走在我前面,无声无息,可是这N个台阶,累的人牛喘,于是,飞翔终于只是念叨着四个字“这群牲口,这群牲口……”我们还在台阶挣扎时,估计那几头壮牲口已经到达了白杨沟达阪的半山腰了,以致我终于走完台阶到达达阪脚下时,隐约能看到几个在晃动的小点儿。抬头望向顶峰,只有一个感觉,我,永远也到不了那儿了! 再也不看顶峰,只看脚下的山路,一步步往上挪,3860M的达阪终归能到,不过时间问。这天海拔上升1000多米,这一路就是三菱电梯—上上下下的感觉!上一千多米下一千多米。 下山对于飞跃简直就是—无法形容,反正在我看来,脚没沾地,瞬间就没了影。 倒是至尊宝在我前方演绎下山的优美动作,形 容梅兰芳 先生有“移步不换形”,至尊宝这下山姿势,手杖使用的灵活度,太过于优美,脚随手杖而变,变的快而稳,大家都这么走,可有些人就残疾了,比如小牛童鞋。有至尊宝在前方带路,恰恰好,在天刚擦黑,到达营地,马鞍形营地,打水很不方便,下山还有很远一段路。 帐篷还没扎稳,山大爷就变脸了,疾风骤雨,瞬间就到!迅速地将炉头等转至帐篷内,慌着给帐篷拉风绳,大概这个时候,土狼正在山下打水。差不多待土先生回来没多久,风雨就止了,月朗星稀,空气新鲜。 (这夜无语,没洗早睡吧!过了白杨沟达阪,彻底就成了开弓没有回头箭,无法返回。黄舒俊的歌里唱:马不停蹄的忧伤,我不是归人,只是过客。我们马不停蹄的赶路,来不及忧伤,我们不是归人,谁把家安这呀,一年归个三四回,非疯即傻;不是过客,谁没事干跑这当过客,找残废!) 还是七点左右,土狼又吹起床号了,出了帐篷,依然看到的是无怨无悔和至尊宝这对儿,收拾停当,候着! 九点,开始今天的行程。今天,栈道。 走过今天,狼C就完成了90%以上(刚刚好语)。对于我,恶梦正在摩拳擦掌正悄悄向我走来。 早晨的路,还好!除了土狼和小牛童鞋为了给今天平静的早上增加点气氛,而至使土狼伤了自己狼爪子,小牛童鞋扯破了裤子外,还是很顺利。延河而行,可以上山可以下河,自由选择,只为了传说中的栈道。 走这一程,甚至来不及感觉到累,心里只有庆幸,今天天晴,如果有雨,不敢想象,一路向上,上不好走,下行更难。陡、滑、窄,每一步的迈出,都极其小心,土狼说,腿抖,不是累,是吓的!不夸张。 这一程完毕,“高疯子”在全体人员注目下洗了澡,裸体!(未完待续) 各位同学明天要出去爬山 暂时休息两天请耐心等待~~~~~{4_129} 这里是空中栈道的一个“老虎口”。大家格外小心地迂回,在45度的陡坡上,长满荆棘和灌木,需要手脚并用攀爬近40米的高度才可以绕过这个“老虎口”。 当然,这里面不包括一个人,这人大家都叫它“疯子”,它是较晚到达这个老虎口的,只见他在大家的劝阻和惊呼声中,背着30公斤的大包,“一溜黄烟”跑步穿过“老虎口”。他就是“疯子”----“飞跃”!我还急急忙忙将我的尼康d60对准了他,不怀好意地要给他拍“最后一跃”呢.......可真够玩命的!今年河水较小,如果是6--8月路过这里,仅是峡谷里震耳欲聋的河水声,就能使人心有余悸 下午4:00点,到达一小瀑布群河段,河水咆哮着冲下河谷,震耳欲聋,水雾弥漫折射出一道道细细的彩虹。这亦真亦幻的美景,使人久久不愿离去。 接下来,经过短暂的休整之后,开始爬越最长、最累的那段空中栈道。 这一次我们在栈道上,连续攀爬了近三个小时。栈道蜿蜒曲折、波浪前进。部分栈道,宽不足半米,头顶和侧壁还在不停地往外渗水。加上四十度以上的陡坡,更是湿滑难行。 而在栈道的另一侧,则是几十米高的悬崖峭壁和滔滔的台普希克玛河。在这段栈道上行走,每迈出一步,都需要格外地小心翼翼。 任何一个小小的失误,都有可能带来难以预料的后果。 在这段栈道上,我们还看到了一只因失蹄而摔下栈道的北山羊。(野山羊,国家二级保护动物) 这是一只非常健壮的成年母羊,羊龄十三岁(可以用数羊角上的节数的方法,来判断其年龄,一节代表一岁),体重在一百五十公斤以上,比家养山羊的两倍还要多。尸体还没有开始腐烂,应该是近一周之内才摔下来的。 这段栈道,除了极端地惊险刺激以外,还有海拔的反复上升、下降,体力消耗极大!严重地考验着队友们的胆识,磨砺着队友们的意志。 还是看照片吧 。由于要注意自身的安全,这一段的照片只能反映这段栈道的局部,当然,这已经非常不容易了 小心翼翼的切过这段山体滑坡,前面的沟谷豁然开朗,这可怕的空中栈道就算是走完了。 前面300米就是我们今天的今天的营地了也就是在这段栈道上,部分队友由于有恐高而选择逆河连续淌水而上,我们称之为“鱼路”。 我们把栈道称之为“天路”。两队中共有七名队友选择了走“鱼路”。我队中有“牛牛”、“eleven”、“高疯子”、“小曹”四人参加了“鱼队“。当然,这中间也包几名括并无恐高症,但特别擅长走“鱼路”的队友,比如“高疯子”和“小曹”。 传两张队友拍的”鱼路“的照片 下午7:00点,走“天路”的队友终于走出那漫长的栈道,陆陆续续到达了营地。 半个小时后,七名走“鱼路”的队友才拖着已经湿透了的下半身,疲惫不堪地来到营地。他们中的大多数已经被冰冷的河水冻的嘴唇发紫、身体瑟瑟发抖。个别队友有轻度失温征兆。特别是“eleven”,冰冷的河水的连续浸泡,已经使我们的美女的体力严重透支。 一到营地,赶紧支起帐篷,换去已经湿透的鞋袜和衣服。 “背包者”烧好的一大锅姜红糖水瞬间就被一抢而光。 看看这张照片,狼塔已经离我们近在咫尺了 事实证明,“天路”要比“鱼路”好走,即节省体力也节省时间。 至此,可以说我们这次狼塔C线穿越的三分之二的难、险路段已经过来了,谢天!谢地!!谢人!!! 谢天:感谢上苍给了我们难得的三个好天气! 谢地:总是有惊无险,遇难成祥! 谢人:感谢我们的团队,团队的协作和互助才是我们这次狼C之行成功的关键。 今天累计上升约800米(估计),下降800米(估计),行走距离约15公里,用时10个小时。惊险、刺激、体力消耗很大。未完待续请看下集:之四--- 我们和狼群有个约会 91# sue5343 (*^__^*) 嘻嘻……我努力吧 O(∩_∩)O谢谢 D4日:10月3日,又一个大好的晴天。进入狼塔核心区域-----我们和狼群有个约会 7:00点刚过,我就起床了。 因为昨天到达营地时我看到狼塔离我们已经很近了(约10公里),它那酷似尖塔的山型,在群山中高高耸起,非常醒目,俊秀。早起,是为了拍一张狼塔日出的照片----狼塔金顶。 虽然,我的机器和技术都很一般,但也算没有白起个大早,总算拍了几张,个人感觉运气还不错,我走过两次博格达峰穿越,每次都是云遮雾罩的,什么也没有拍到,这次可算是幸运多了。 早9:30分拔营,沿着一个很不起眼的小河口(沟口有一颗挂满红色小果的树,这可是狼c路上最重要的地之一),逆河而上。开始翻越海拔3555米的库勒阿特藤大坂。 相对高差1000米。 大阪顶最后的300米陡峭难行、是坡度在60度左右的流沙坡,厚厚的积雪还覆盖住了上大阪的马道,爬升难度较大。 除此之外,其他上达坂的路段还是比较平缓易行的。([]
这是一个迟到的作业!鳌太穿越回来后,一直忙于工作,眼看2012年就要过去了,总得在世界末日之前把作业完成了,算是有个交代。 鳌太穿越路线,近几年比较火,相关情况也就不啰嗦了,本贴只是把个人穿越的经历简单介绍一下,与关心鳌太的驴友们分享! 鳌太穿越是昆嵛山游击队去年完成狼C穿越(https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1186521-1-1.html)后,今年选定的长线穿越计划。时间初步定在六月的下旬。今年春季,游击队为鳌太行进行了集体性、系统性的拉练。光负重40斤以上的模拟拉练就进行了4次。确定的出征人员包括我共六人。而实施熬太穿越时,我却因为工作关系而未能参加。送战友出征的那一刻,看到他们个个信心百倍、斗志昂扬,心里甭提多难受了!为不能与战友们一起攻坚克难完成穿越而难过,更为不能与战友们一起欣赏大美风光而顿足!当队长他们凯旋归来,在为他们庆贺接风的同时,我已悄悄地做出了一个决定:一个人完成熬太穿越,补上这一课。做出这一决定,既不是冲动,也不是冒险。因为:一是有队长他们走过一次的经验和GPS轨迹,二是游击队春季拉练的体能储备,三是2010年曾完成过太白穿越,对太白山基本情况的了解。 可以说万事俱备只欠东风,这东风就是:一个时间窗口,一个好的天气。如何分析、判断天气变化,确定一个出发的窗口,对能否顺利完成穿越至关重要! 经查看天气预报,并与宝鸡的驴友杰米多次交流,初步判断:9月1号雨后,会有4-5天的好天气。就是它了,遂决定9月2号进山,4天完成穿越。按7天准备食物,并与队长约定,7天没消息就请求救援。 总的来说,这次鳌太穿越计划完美、实施顺利。9月2号下午330从塘口进山,9月6日中午1230从厚畛子出山,差3个小时是4整天。 一、出发前的准备。 既然决定一个人走鳌太,各方面的准备工作必须做扎实了。 1、体能方面。除了一直参加集体拉练的基础,就是平时注意加强锻炼,游泳、徒步、登山等。行前一周,自己又搞了一次模拟重装拉练。对自己的体能还是有信心的。 2、攻略方面,以队长的攻略为基础,拟订了一个4天的计划,并针对性的搜集了一下图片,对等高线图、影像图等进行了反复研究。这样鳌太穿越路线在心中就有了一个完整的概念. 3、装备方面。单人穿鳌太,必要的装备必须带,但要尽可能轻量化,最后确定带速干衣一套、抓绒衣一套、冲锋衣裤一套、MSR超轻帐篷一顶、HW鹅绒睡袋。为应对突发恶劣气候,还带了一件压缩羽绒服,这件羽绒服一直在包里没打开过。所有衣物都装在防水袋里。 4、食品及药品。虽计划4天,但食品数量是按7天准备的,还外加一包压缩饼干。必要的药品、纱布绷带等医用品一应俱全。 5、天气方面。这是熬太穿越,或是太白穿越是否顺利完成的很重要的因素,从8月中旬就一直密切关注太白县、周至、宝鸡等地的天气情况。关于天气情况分析,后面还要详细说。 6、GPS及导航。带GPS一部,里面有6月份游击队走鳌太的轨迹,还有指南针和20米等高线地形图。穿越过程中,基本上没用GPS导航,以查看地形、寻找前人走过的路线为主。大雾天则用指南针判别方向。 二、天气分析 鳌太穿越计划初步定在9月初,但具体的出发日期要根据鳌太的天气情况而定。从8月中旬就密切关注太白周边地区的天气情况,当看到8月26到31号连续大雨(预报是暴雨),9月1号预报天气好转,初步判断,9月1号以后应该有几天好天,于是着手各项准备工作。到8月28、29号再次查看天气预报,结果是9月1号以后有4-5天好天气,遂确定了行程计划:8月31从烟台出发,9月1日中午到西安,下午坐西安到太白县的车,在太白休整一晚,9月2号一早进山。对天气情况的分析,与宝鸡驴友杰米进行了多次沟通,另外还就进山起点以及租车等有关事宜麻烦杰米,在此感谢杰米的大力支持! 鳌太穿越或太白穿越,天气因素至关重要!一个好的天气,不但能使你的穿越轻松顺利,还能饱览太白风光。而雨雪天或者大雾天,将使你的穿越难度增加几倍、十几倍,甚至有生命危险。近几年熬太事故频繁,都与恶劣天气有关。 记得2010年8月16-18日,与蹄子、睡莲三人太白北南穿越(https//bbs.8264.com/thread-486632-1-1.html),也是在认真分析天气情况下安排的行程。穿越路线:鹦哥--平安寺--大文公庙--大爷海--跑马梁-万仙阵--将军庙--都督门。用时2天半。当时对天气的判断是16号一天好天,17号半天到一天好天,18号下雨。由此确定,16号一早必须开始穿越,利用一天到一天半的时间,将鹦哥到大爷海的这段上升路段拿下。跑马梁及后面的将军庙路段是平道和下坡路段,即使下雨也能按计划完成穿越。而我们的火车晚点3个小时,15号到西安已经是晚上630了,如果16号耽误在去鹦哥的路上,那么穿越将变得很艰难。不得已,求助西安的同学提供支援,连夜将我们送到鹦哥镇,确保了穿越按计划进行。穿越的实际情况是:16好一天的好天,17号走到跑马梁水窝营地时大雾,能加度不足50米,到将军庙扎营时变成大雾加中雨;18号半天是在雨中走的,中午到都督门时雨还一直下。 所以,认真研究天气情况,是鳌太穿越的必备功课。这次独行鳌太圆满顺利,完全得益于这4天的好天气,尽管中间也遇到大风大雾,但整个行程还是以好天为主。9月7日上午回到西安,下午就开始下雨了。 三、行前会议。 确定了8月31号(周五)出发的日期,30号晚游击队核心成员搞了个小型聚会,算是我出征鳌太的行前会议,这也是队长他们6月份成功穿越鳌太庆功宴以来,游击队第一次聚会。会上,我详细通报了这次独行鳌太的具体计划和日程安排,队长他们介绍了6月份鳌太行的有关情况,对鳌太穿越中的难点、容易迷路的地方以及沿途补水点、营地情况等做了详细介绍。4人一起对我的行程安排、装备、食品、药品等一一进行了梳理。根据我对天气情况的分析,9月2号以后应该有4-5天的好天气,利用这一有利条件,顺利完成鳌太穿越是完全可能的。但考虑到鳌太气候多变的特点,鳌太穿越全是好天也是不可能的,设想了最坏的情况并商讨了应对方案,对可能的下撤路线一一进行了查看、分析。这次穿越计划时间是4天,考虑到是单人穿越,应尽量缩短穿越的时间,因此穿越的起点由原来计划的塘口,调整到23KM管理处。并与队长他们约定,以7天为限,7天没消息,也就是9月8号晚没有消息,就直接联系西安蓝天救援队和当地警方组织救援。 考虑到单人穿越熬太非同一般,和队长他们商定出发前就不发消息了,等成功出山后再发。这主要是怕朋友们担心,因为8月份刚刚发生了鳌山5人失踪事件,4人已找到,仍有1人下落不明,救援工作还没结束。还有就是鳌太刚刚下了4天大雨,新闻报道说太白地区山洪爆发,多处塌方,冲毁道路等,这些消息肯定会让朋友们更担心我的安全。所以不发消息事出无奈,等出山后再做解释吧。 四、一波三折的起步阶段 万事开头难!此话不假!这次进山前的种种波折,我算是领教了这句话的真正含义!!!原定的计划,不得已而不断的变更。 之所以选择坐长途汽车,就是想9月1号晚上赶到太白县,9月2号一早开始进山。去西安之前,电话咨询确认,每天下午240和330有两趟西安发太白县的班车。烟台到西安的长途汽车是头天下午230发车,约18个小时可以到西安,一算应该是第二天的上午8、9点到,这样上午可以补充食品,下午班车到太白县。而火车是下午300多到西安,而且这趟火车几乎每次都晚点,肯定赶不上去太白的班车。所以选择做长途汽车而不是火车。计划的很完美,而现实是,各种不顺把这个计划化为了泡影。 8月31号下午登上去西安的长途班车,连夜赶路。夜里2点,过了豫陕交界处,高速公路交警勒令休息,休息的时间是200-500。夜里睡不着,就跟值班的交警聊天,问这个规定是啥时候出的,答曰去年就有了,因为延安客车伤亡事故,最近严格执行这一规定。不光是双层卧铺,所有客车都得执行。规定咱得执行,可这时间就耽误3个小时。询问司机,说中午1200可以到西安,想想12点到也还来得及赶上班车,补充食品那就到太白县办理吧! 5点,车准时出发。天下小雨,伴有薄雾,当830,车行驶到新安县的某个地方时,车停了,不一会高速路上的车就排出去了20公里。本以为停一会就放行了,可是直到中午1200依然没有动的迹象。哎,这叫什么事啊?在这前不着村后不着店的地方,就这么傻呆呆的等!没人告诉你为什么?没人告诉你还要等多长时间?高速路的交警呢?一直没看见人影。熬到下午2点,实在坚持不住了,只好打听着,到离高速路约1公里的村子买了泡面、饼干、咸菜、零食什么的,做好了长期抗战的准备。也就是在这个村子的小卖店,才知道这里属河南新安县。 对于这种无法预测的等待,真的让人郁闷、无助,就像一个看不到头的灾难,给人一种恐惧的感觉。眼看着下午的雾气貌似越来越重,真不知道啥时是个头啊?终于,到下午330放行了!额的神啊!!!到达西安已是晚上8点了,白白的浪费了7个小时的时间,啥都耽误了。值得安慰的则是,伴随着一路的雨,下车时还下着呢,而到睡觉的时候已经停了,天也放晴了。 无奈、上火都没用,调整计划吧!晚上宿西安,明天一早赶往太白县。火车站买好了9月8号的返程票,采购了必备的食品,城西客运站旁边找了家宾馆住下。急也没有,反正是今天赶不到太白了,洗了个热水澡,美美地睡上一觉。 9月2号早晨600,来到城西客运站。客运站刚开门,问了一下,上午没有去太白县的客车,还是下午那两班车,仔细询问,原来这车是太白县跑西安,下午返回。听说这几天太白地区暴雨洪水,道路被冲,感觉等这车有些不靠谱。经车站工作人员推荐,可以先到眉县,眉县跑太白县的车多。就这么定了,转道眉县去太白县。买了西安去眉县的车票,730发车。等车的时后,抬头看看,天气晴朗,漫天朝霞!真是一个好天啊!心里反倒焦急了起来,恨不得马上飞到徒步起点,开始穿越。730汽车准时发车。车出西安,沿途风光好!因前几天大雨,渭河还有其他河流,水位暴涨,洪水咆哮!910到眉县长途车站。进卖票处一问,因太白大雨,眉县至太白县公路被冲毁,班车停发。又遇波折。然后问,怎么去太白县?答曰转车。先到潘家湾,换乘宝鸡--太白或宝鸡--陈仓的班车。只好这样了。渭河泥浆般的洪水,水位依然很高。1040到潘家湾。 在潘家湾等了将近30分钟,连续两辆班车都因客满而拒绝我们上车(我和太白县的一位老同志),天气这么好,而我却在中途滞留,就看着时间这么流失了,着急啊!在这儿耽误一个小时,就可能因此而在穿越中耽搁半天,甚至更长时间,真的不敢去设想。时不我待,必须尽快赶到徒步起点。遂决定打车到太白县,并告诉太白的那位老同志,免费带他到太白县。于是,讲好了价钱,我们二人同乘一车奔向太白。当车进入秦岭,看到青山绿树,蓝天白云,心情大好,终于可以松口气了!但是且慢,后面还有波折在等着,此是后话,回头再讲。暂且不管它,先欣赏美景吧。途中,还免费搭载一位解放军战士。1200到达坡顶,下了坡就是太白县。1240到达太白县城。找到了粮食局对面的户外店,买了两个气罐,加上自己带的,这次穿越鳌太共带了3个气罐。买好了气罐,租好了车,到市场买了洋葱和大头菜和大葱,当车出县城时已是下午1点多了。马不停蹄,奔向计划的登山点--23KM管理处。沿途能看见洪水冲倒的树木。司机师傅告诉我,要打电话尽快打,爬上山坡后就没信号了。我赶紧给队长打了个电话,告诉他已经进山,从23KM管理处登山。也给家人打了个电话,说就要进山了,这几天没有信号,等出山再联系。没想到的是,又遇波折。就在离23KM登山处还有17、8公里的时候,洪水把道路完全冲毁,公路部门正在抢修道路,问什么时候可以修通,回答说要明天下午。于是,原路返回,奔向备用登山点--塘口。 再次经过太白县城,驶向塘口。途中,和队长再次联系,告诉无法从23KM管理处登山,登山点改为塘口。并和队长说了起步阶段的种种波折,队长说要淡定,后面的行程一定会很顺利!哈哈,还真让队长说对了!不经历风雨,怎么见彩虹!塘口,这也是游击队6月份鳌太穿越的起点。进塘口的路就在公路边上,路口一个方形拱门,旁边有个加油站。其实塘口登山处就是塘口村五组,沿水泥道一直往南走,在稍往右一拐,就是去登山口的土路,路的两边是蔬菜地。 五、9月2日下午3:30进山,塘口--药农窝棚。 下午3:30开始进山,很快找到了岔路口。顺小路往上攀登,过了一个小平台,一会就进了山沟里。顺山沟的小路,不停的在溪水两边来回蹦。河沟被洪水冲刷的厉害,没用仔细往右寻路,就一直顺沟往上走,直到7点多,天快擦黑了,却发现前面没路了。根据对路线的研究,这条冲沟的顶端就是火烧破,那么路线应该在右侧的山脊上,于是打开GPS,对照了一下,判断了方位,果断地向右侧攀爬,找到了成熟路线。这时天已经黑了,约8点来到了火烧破前的平台,休息了一下,简单地补充了食物,然后继续前进,约8:30到药农窝棚,扎营。经过了一番周折,风风火火、急急忙忙,终于在2号的下午330到达了登山的起点--塘口。看看这脑海里过了无数遍的景象,真是感慨万千!在村口,边收拾行囊,边和村民闲聊,顺便问了一下前几天下雨的情况。村民说前几天雨很大,很多路都被洪水冲了。看看小路上一道道洪水冲过的沟槽,就知道这雨有多大了。脑子里突然蹦出一个念头:晚进山半天多,未必不是好事,昨晚雨刚停,河沟里全是水,过了这半天,估计水该消退了很多。转念这么一想,心里豁然开朗,和老乡告别,精神抖擞地踏上了征程。进山后看到的景象确实如此!河沟的水基本消退了,但有的地方水还是很大,有的地方甚至要踩着水过去。看看这被洪水冲过的土路。选择合适的位置,迈过溪流,不一会就到了进山的岔路口。志很明显。 从岔路口进去,不到10分钟,爬上一处小平台,这儿可以看见蔚蓝的天空。再往前走,进了溪谷,几乎就看不见天了。过了小平台,再往前就进入了沟谷中。沟谷里树林茂密,遮天蔽日。顺着溪流,沿着被洪水冲毁的小道,不断攀升,有时小路就在溪流里,有的地方冲的几乎看不出是小路。太白人参和木通花。没想到,这个季节在鳌山还能吃到破班头,都熟透了,一路不停地吃,权当水果了。顺着沟谷,逆流而上,一直走到晚上640多,看看就要到河谷的尽头了,小路也越来越不明显。继续走了约半个小时,天上越来越暗,还没看到明显的山路。于是决定直接拔上右侧山脊,寻找成熟路线。约7点50左右,找到了成熟路线。继续走了越10分钟,800左右来到了山脊上的平台。这个平台视野开阔,能看到山脊两侧的景致,远处能看见山下的灯火。平台再往前就是火烧坡。平台休息了20分钟,补充了食品和水,看看山路清晰,戴上头灯,继续赶路,到下一个成熟营地--药农窝棚扎营。上了火烧坡,不一会,电话响了!一看是队友打来的。本以为没信号了,竟然来了电话,真是惊喜啊!这时,回头看看,太白县城灯火通明,猛的明白,哈哈,这儿是信号覆盖区啊!不过,再走10多分钟,就又进入盲区了,直到厚畛子才有信号。过了火烧坡,右转,不一会来到药农窝棚,这儿水源很好,营地条件也好,遂决定扎营休息。烧茶喝,做饭吃。等忙活完躺下,已是晚上10点半了。 六、9月3日 路线:药农窝棚--2900营地--山脊线--盆景园--白起庙--乱石坡--石海--鳌山导航架--西跑马梁--药王庙--麦秸梁--荞麦梁--水窝子垭口--飞机梁--飞机梁垭口。 时间:早420--晚620,计14个小时。 药农窝棚营地条件不错,地势平坦,水源充足。营地旁边是一条溪流,水哗哗作响,害得我一晚上没怎么睡好!躺在帐篷里翻来覆去,到凌晨2点半就醒了,索性起来,收拾帐篷,生火烤饼,面条就大饼。饭后吃了21维他命,喝了一包板蓝根冲剂和西洋参片煮水。待收拾停当,420,出发。山路清晰,戴上头灯赶路。约40分钟,到达2900营地。这时天还没亮,头灯下观察了一下营地,很宽阔,水源也好。同时,看到了驴友减负留下的小米一袋。还有很多一次性雨衣。还有让人不堪入目的垃圾!2900营地往上,行走在草甸之中,因前几日大雨,草甸泥泞不堪,小路上都成了水道了,只好在比较硬的地方来回蹦。直到将近六点,天边微露晨光,这种泥泞难行的路才算结束。约5;50,走到了山脊上,看见了天边露出了朝霞。6:00.天渐渐亮了,路边的树木也看到清晰了。([]

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([]
仅以此贴献给这两个月里出现在我生命中的人们,无论帮助过我的还是我帮助过的,无论有名字的还是没名字的。大概人人都有背起行囊,四处流浪的情节,我天天背着情节眼巴巴地想实现周游世界的梦想。终于在2008年去了澳洲,从2008年开始几乎每年去趟非洲,2010年夏天去了迪拜,2010年底实现心中终极梦想--欧洲。这个计划始于2010年5月份,那时我还在非洲看沙子。有种强烈的愿望要去欧洲,于是做了半年攻略,终于于10月份出发。做攻略的时候,我边看欧洲地图边做。当时意气风发,挥斥方遒,大笔一挥,画出我先中理想路线,殊不知,实施时要费尽心思来连接路线之间的交通工具,要快又要便宜,累死了不少脑细胞。 没想到啊没想到,现在居然开始写回忆录了。一切都像梦一样,快点写快点写,让帖子提醒我我真的做到了。在欧洲旅行期间,我每天都把当天的事情写下来,过一天再写,就会觉着模糊了。所以不管有多晚,我都坚持写旅行日志,记录当天发生的事和遇见的人。我每到一个地方就会给自己邮张明信片,写上当时的心情。当我回到家的时候,邮箱里已经有厚厚的一摞明信片了,这真是旅途中的心情日记哈。我真希望以后如果我有孩子了,她也可以沿着我走过的足迹再走一遍,或者在我死了后,我的爱人为了怀念我,再沿着我的路线走一遍,他们就能真真切切体会我当时的感想感受了。如果真能这样,不枉此生来世上一回。时间:10月14日晚北京出发飞往阿姆斯特丹;12月10日凌晨抵达北京,阿姆斯特丹进、阿姆斯特丹出,共57天。经历国家及城市(按大体时间顺序):荷兰:阿姆斯特丹、Volendam、Marken、风车村、小孩堤坝、鹿特丹、Roermond(倒数第一站)比利时:布鲁塞尔、根特 卢森堡:卢森堡市、Viaden 德国:科布伦茨、科隆、波恩、法兰克福、海德堡、罗腾堡、慕尼黑、新天鹅堡、国王湖、杜塞尔多夫(倒数第二站) 捷克:布拉格、CK小镇 匈牙利:布达佩斯 奥地利:维也纳 意大利:威尼斯、比萨、佛罗伦萨、罗马、西西里岛 梵蒂冈(国中国):梵蒂冈 西班牙:巴塞罗那、马德里 葡萄牙:里斯本、辛特拉(Pena Palace)、罗卡角 法国:巴黎 瑞士:苏黎世、卢塞恩、因特拉肯、伯尔尼 列支敦士登(国中国):瓦杜兹 第一站:荷兰篇 10月14日:阿姆斯特丹 阿姆斯特丹是我抵达欧洲的第一站,北京-迪拜-阿姆斯特丹。14号23:55首都机场出发,在迪拜机场时遇到尼日利亚去塞浦路斯的黑人女孩。她说她坐在这很别扭,因为周围的人全是白人,就她一个黑人。我说我也很别扭,就我一个亚洲人。她定睛看我的眼睛好半天,大概看出我对她没什么异样看法,便对我热情起来。她说她喜欢我的直发,因为她们的头发天生是卷的,很短,要接假发才行,她还给我看她的假发。还遇到从小定居在荷兰的香港女孩,Joe,刚从日本旅行回来,参加日本某乐队的演唱会。她中文讲的不好,我们俩用英语交流。两个中国人用英语交流,很搞笑哈。她弟弟开车来接她,她说可以把我送到我的青年旅馆去,我很感激她。 10月15日: 下午1530抵达Schiphol机场,领了行李,申报时蒙混过关。出了机场没找到香港女孩,进进出出几趟,看着周围成群的欧洲人,心里开始发慌。咨询了工作人员,拖着行李去找197路巴士。等了很久,大约半个小时才来车。外面下着雨,坐在车上,看着雨水划过车窗,心情很复杂。有点小兴奋:不敢相信自己真的到了阿姆斯特丹,真的开始了欧洲之旅;又有点小担心:对未来的两个月很不确定,迷路怎么办,下车后找不到Sylvia怎么办。Sylvia是我在国内通过穷游联系到的一个广州女孩,她是卢比荷12日游,比我早到阿姆斯特丹2、3天,捡到她后,我心里踏实了很多。然后给Sylvia打电话,她不知道197路巴士的终点站在哪。她问我能不能做到Central Station,她可以在那接我。我问司机是否到火车站,他说不到。这时上来一个颤巍巍的老奶奶,我伸手扶了她一下,问她是否need help。那老奶奶叫我baby,反倒问我是否需要帮助,她可以带我去火车站。感动啊,好友好的荷兰人民啊。坐了二十多分钟到Marnixstraat站,下车没见到Sylvia。原来我们俩坐不同的车,虽然站名一样,但公车停靠站是不一样的。阿姆斯特丹的河道太多了,我们俩分别站在两条河边,想以此为依据找到对方,在雨中找对方颇费周折,不过最终还是见到她了,高兴。Sylvia个子很高,有1.7米,长相很像南方人。她送了我一束郁金香,然后帮我一起找我住的旅馆。晚上我们在旅馆餐厅上网做攻略。送走她后,洗澡,收拾东西,睡觉。这是18人间的房间,房间有几堵墙,隔成几个稍私密一点的空间;大家也各忙各的,互不打扰,还算安静。躺在床上胡思乱想,第二天会玩的怎样,这两个月将会怎样,不知不觉睡着了。晚安,麦琪。 10月16日:Volendam & Marken & Zaanse Schans 旅馆提供早餐,今早是pancake加果酱,很难吃。愁眉苦脸吃的时候,碰上在斯德哥尔摩上学的中国男孩Table。他看见了我放在桌子上护照,就问我是不是中国人,于是又捡了一个。 一行三人在中央火车站后面坐巴士110( 7.5欧天票)去Volendam。一路上经过大片大片的绿野和草地上的羊啊、牛啊,让我和Sylvia兴奋的不得了,玩命地拍照。Volendam是个很小的村子,但是保存了很多具有荷兰特色的老房子。我们停留了大约一小时,就在坐船5欧去Marken了。其实我们可以仍然用那个7.5欧的票坐回阿姆斯特丹,然后再坐另一辆公车到Marken,不需额外花钱。但是这样比较麻烦,我们决定坐船。Marken和Volendam风格很像,都是那种精致的古香古色的小渔村。在Marken海边看到很多收起桅杆的白色的帆船,停泊在码头里,随风和浪一摇一摆。天上的浓云压的很低,厚厚的云层间偶尔透射下来的光线让阴阴的海水突然有点生气。这种景象我从来没有见过,像油画一样。 我们仨坐巴士111回阿姆斯特丹,权衡了几家餐馆的物价,我们决定还是在麦当劳解决午餐。Sylvia下午去羊角村并在那里住宿一晚,我和Table坐火车5.6欧去风车村Zaanse Schans,在Koog-zaandijk站下。风车村集中了荷兰大部分的特色产品,例如风车,木鞋作坊。在村口有条小河,河面铺满绿绿的水藻,有鸭子在里悠闲地游着。河的一边坐落着很多小木屋,几座小木桥搭在河上,树叶间隙透下来的的斑驳阳光落在河上、房上、桥上,小桥流水人家啊。 回到阿姆斯特丹,在火车站附近买了10张明信片,才3.5欧,质量非常好,是我在欧洲买过的最便宜的明信片,就在性博物馆附近。红灯区有很多中餐馆,随便找了一家吃晚饭,味道还好。老板找钱时多找了我10欧,还给了她。在红灯区乱逛,看到很多和性有关的商店,就是没见到橱窗女郎,很郁闷。我让Table扮猥琐嫖客勾引妓女出来,他不肯牺牲色相,还说这的嫖客都是正大光明的,不用偷偷摸摸。坐巴士13路2.6欧回旅店。又续了一天住宿,买了第二天去梵高博物馆的门票14.75欧。在餐厅写日志、记账、倒照片。Table教我如何使用单反相机,他又弹了会吉他,自弹自唱。晚上很惬意,睡个好觉。1 1 1 1 10月17日:阿姆斯特丹 今天的早餐还是很甜的pancake,吃到第二个,有点想吐。回房间拿了4个火腿肠,和Table一人两个吃了。然后一起西教堂和安妮之家,就在旅馆附近。安妮之家早早就有人人排队了,我们到时队伍已经甩过拐角很远了。决定去Dam Square,沿着阿姆斯特丹大街小巷闲逛、拍照。阿姆斯特丹很美,这个精致的水城总是让我想到童话故事里的房子,窄窄的尖顶房子并排挨着沿河而建。整个城市的建筑风格非常统一,看起来似乎是个保留着历史传统文化的城市,但在接受某些观念上又是非常前卫的,包括接纳大麻等药品,允许同性恋婚姻关系,妓女合法化,支持安乐死等。 走到在鲜花市场,买了些纪念品:一副梵高的塑封画,3个冰箱贴,两双小木鞋。然后在一家土耳其小吃店吃东西,喝咖啡。碰巧看到码头,乘坐了Canel cruise,一小时,8.5欧。Table晚上要赶布鲁塞尔的飞机,与他道别后,独自步行去梵高博物馆。一路上看到很多人在长跑,有工作人员在街边递矿泉水,有DJ站在高台上放音乐,两边围观的人给跑不动的人或者落在后面的人鼓掌加油,甚至孩子们也自发鼓掌。那一刻我很感动。 在博物馆里买了一张梵高黄房的子明信片。在博物馆外面,有卖梵高仿油画的,40欧一张,很贵,没买。我发现梵高博物馆外的货摊上卖的纪念品好像是最便宜的,比鲜花市场上的还便宜。 回来的路上碰上一对美国夫妇,丈夫美国人,妻子日本人,看我在看地图,主动问我是否需要帮助,还很热情地和我聊天。丈夫说他们很多年前去过中国,感觉很不好,今年又去了,变化很多,感觉很好;还说亚洲人老得慢,欧美人老得快,所以总有人问他和他妻子是否是couple。很不好意思,这是我刚问过的问,他解释了一下。 道别后,继续赶路回旅馆,路上碰到一个女孩找安妮之家,就送她过去了。她是拉丁美洲一个国家的人,但是我没有听说过那个国家,据说离古巴很近。回到旅店,订了晚餐,Lasana加salad,听说过,没吃过,味道一般,就是把面条铺起来,放炉子里烤。吃饭的时候和旅店里工作的几个年轻人一块吃的,他们一共4个人,两男两女。一个阿姆斯特丹女孩,一个美国女孩,一个德国男孩,一个美国籍韩国人,他们大部分是兼职。另外还有一个罗马尼亚旅行的人。他已经骑自行车旅行了2个月,还要继续旅行10个月。吃完晚餐后,一个人在餐厅里写日志。1 1 1 1 10月18日:鹿特丹 早餐的时候碰上5个中国女孩,2个上海的,3个台湾的,她们在比利时上学,到荷兰旅游。邮了一张明信片:梵高的黄房子。Check out后,坐tram去火车站,花了2.6欧。坐上去鹿特丹的火车,第一次使用pass。路上碰上一个黑人逃票,手法无非是开车进厕所,停车出来透气。还有一群小孩子由老师带着上下火车。坐过了一站,又返了回去。存了行李,在车站外面的tourism information要了一张免费的城市介绍,附地图。暴走了一个小时,发现鹿特丹是在没意思,高楼大厦现代的很。刚好Sylvia发短信说到鹿特丹火车站了,她上午从羊角村去了海牙,我们约好在鹿特丹火车站汇合去小孩堤坝。当我返回鹿特丹火车站时,发现存行李的箱子并没有关,因为操作不正确。找来工作人员,她直说我lucky。和Sylvia坐火车在Rotterdam Lombardijen站下,转90路公交去小孩堤坝,车站碰上两个台湾女孩。在小孩堤坝的风车属于原生态古老的大风车,水渠左手边排列的风车比较多,可以一张照片里照一列风车出来,很有意思。一个帅哥开着农用铲车铲路边的稻草,让我俩流了半天口水。按原路返回到鹿特丹车站,在买票去布鲁塞尔时,被告知比利时罢工,火车不通。天啊,传说中的欧洲罢工咋让我赶上啦?跑去找Eurolines,结果去布鲁塞尔的大巴都满了。打电话给布鲁塞尔的旅店取消今晚的预定,店员说,太晚了,取消不了,今晚的费用照收不误。可恶的比利时罢工,无奈只得在车站附近找旅店。在一家咖啡厅上网,订了一家酒店,结果我俩只记了地址,电话和名字都没有记,一路费尽周折才找到,当时天已经很黑了,街上还站着三三俩俩的黑人,吓得我俩心慌慌的。不过有一件事值得提,就是我俩坐上公交,向售票员说明,我们迷路了,想要去某站。实际上某站离我们上车站只一站地,但票价可是2.6欧哎。那售票员给我们出了票后,让我们不要在机器上打票,这就意味着这张票明天也可以用,我们很感谢他。千辛万苦终于找到酒店,土耳其人开的。Check in后,在厨房煮方便面,然后回房间上网,定卢森堡的酒店。今天和Sylvia一起旅行,很开心,很踏实。1 1 1 第二站:比利时篇 10月19日:布鲁塞尔 早上起床后收拾行李,下楼吃早餐。早餐还不错,这么多天终于吃上了牛奶麦片(类似粥)、面包(面食)、火腿肠(咸菜),这些凑合着有点北方早餐的意思了。拉着行李往火车站走,行李很重,一边走一边想着得扔点东西了。这时Sylvia说,等她回国时,把她的电热水杯和叉子都给我。天啊,又要加重了。 到了火车站,Sylvia买了张单程票,我用通票。一路上都没有人查票,我的通票逃票了,嘿嘿。到布鲁塞尔已经下午1:30了,提着行李拉了一路找到2 Go 4 Quality Hostel青年旅馆。放下行李,我们俩就出去了。布鲁塞尔很美,建筑上的雕塑很多,比阿姆斯特丹的风格要大气。有古老的建筑,也有现代的建筑,很好地结合在一起。 我们照着地图去了Grand Place,从一条细细弯弯的小巷拐进一个豁然开朗的广场,顿时我们俩都惊呆了,太美了。四周古老的建筑都是中世纪的风格,有的还金碧辉煌的,难怪这里被称为欧洲最美的广场。这里的中国团很多,有两个四、五十岁的中年男人从我旁边经过,其中一个说:这就是欧洲最美的广场啊,就这样啊?我很愕然,无语。 然后找路参观撒尿于连,看着一群人往一个方向走,不用说,去看撒尿小孩去。果不其然,前方一群人围着街角照相。撒尿小孩好小啊,还用栏杆围着,周围的游客拼命地拍照。附近有些年轻人在用很专业的器材拍摄,我们猜他们可能是摄影学校的学生。在于连对面的甜饼店买了一个甜饼,1欧,上面可以抹巧克力,就变成了1.75欧了,我们还是买了原味的。但是太甜了,吃到最后都吃不了了,我就给扔了。 然后我们接着前行,来到了Eglise Notre-Dame de la Chapelle教堂,我在里面做了个祷告。教堂旁边有个小广场,一些孩子在那玩滑板,还有些涂鸦在墙上。我们在台阶上休息片刻,继续赶路。在赶往Palace of Justice路上,看到一个很古老的教堂,但地图上并未显示,应该是没什么名气,但很有味道,拍了照继续走。坐免费的观光电梯上去到Palace of Justice大平台。这个建筑把我们吓坏了,因为它太壮观了,太震撼了,太有压迫感了。用Sylvia的话讲就是,怕建筑上的雕塑掉下来砸死人。 接下来去了Eglise Notre-Dame du Sablon教堂,纯白色的,很精致。再往前就是Place Royal广场,中间有个骑马的雕像,是十字军指挥者,周围有些脸谱似的雕像。此时天色渐晚,我们就一边游览,一边往旅馆的方向走。路过家乐福,在里面买了面包,蔬菜,西红柿,鸡蛋,火腿,一共花了3.95欧。回到旅店,厨房和餐厅里有很多年轻人,有的吃完了上网或看电视,有的还在厨房做饭。我和Sylvia做了西红柿鸡蛋汤,蔬菜沙拉,还算丰盛。第一次经历这样的生活,在青年旅馆做饭吃,很有意思。然后我们就在餐厅上网了。今天很愉快。1 1 1· 1 1 1 10月20日:根特 我们住的是4床的mixed room,另外两张床住的是两个男生,一个是澳洲人,一直在睡觉;另一个是个半黑不白的人,半夜起来上厕所有3次,还拿手电到处照,我怀疑他想偷东西。凌晨6点钟,他又起来收拾东西,然后走掉了,我也睡不着了。一早起来去布鲁塞尔火车站存行李4欧,然后坐火车去根特。下了火车找tram电车站坐车。在车站碰到一个女士,她帮我使用售票机买票。我们一起上车,聊得很高兴,她还教了我两句法语,我也教了她两句中文。她在根特的一个大学里又工作又上学。她说到政治,我说我不感兴趣。临走我送她两双筷子做礼物,她很惊喜。 根特很古老,街道两旁建筑都是那种旧旧的,好像烟熏过得发黑的颜色,镶着着精美的雕刻,教堂风格盛行。当时下着雨,打着伞沿着古城蜿蜒的街道,登上古堡,顿时有种时光倒流的感觉,仿佛回到了中古世纪的欧洲。 在路边店买了张明信片0.45欧,在邮局买邮票1.15欧。写好了后没找到浆糊,并且邮票也不是不干胶的,就问坐我对面的大婶。她撕了半天发现不是不干胶的,就干脆伸出了舌头,把邮票背面添了一下,贴在我的明信片上。我笑到不行,旁边有个排队的大婶也在笑,她们真nice。出了邮局找路去坐tram,一路问了很多人,人们都很友好,热心地告诉我怎么过去。 第三站:卢森堡篇 回到布鲁塞尔火车站,取了行李,和Sylvia汇合,然后坐火车去卢森堡,睡了一路。到卢森堡后,转车去Ettlebruck,下了车又转570巴士到Viaden。坐巴士的时候向一个大哥问路,他拿出手机找到卫星地图,告诉我们怎么走。我和Sylvia都觉着他很绅士、有风度,哎,我们俩又花痴了。 我们定的酒店在山上,我们从山脚下拖着行李费劲气力才爬上去。小镇很安静,只听见我们行李的轮子声。Oranienburg - Restaurant le Chatelain酒店就座落在古堡边上,很有历史,是餐馆加酒店的经营方式。布置的很温馨又舒适,到处都是胡桃木的家具:桌椅、楼梯扶手、吧台。我们房间窗外就能看见Viaden Castle,Sylvia还打开卫生间窗户,兴奋地坐在上面拍个不停,我真怕她不小心,一头栽下去。据说Viaden Castle是莱茵河以西最著名的古堡,很多国家国王、元首都来参观过。 晚上在酒店内吃晚餐,意大利面,要15欧左右。waiter很nice,也很绅士,在我们的餐桌上点燃了小蜡烛,我这辈子第一次烛光晚餐居然是和Sylvia这个女人吃的。吃完晚餐我跑到外面拍雨中昏黄的路灯和路灯下的街道,很有感觉,我喜欢这个酒店。回到房间,我放水泡澡,这是我在欧洲第一次泡澡,很舒服。有点感冒,用电热水壶烧了点水,冲点感冒冲剂喝下去,然后就半躺在床上记花销和写旅行日志。1 1 1 1 10月21日 早上睡到8:30,和Sylvia吃了顿简单的早餐。Check out 后,把行李寄存在酒店,我们就上山去参观城堡(6欧)。Viaden Casstle座落在乌尔峡谷,山下有乌尔河流过。城堡年头比较长,有800年的历史,最早属于Viaden伯爵家族,但现在已成为博物馆,并且目前看到的部分大都是翻修过的。 按原路返回卢森堡火车站,存行李3欧,为了省0.2欧,硬是把我的大行李挤进了中号行李柜。在火车站查晚上去科布伦茨的时间、陪Sylvia找旅店,然后边走边吃去参观卢森堡了。 卢森堡是欧洲仅存的公国,实行君主立宪制。全国十分之七的面积被森林覆盖,满眼绿色,卢森堡既是国家名也是城市名,卢森堡市最美的风景大概就是城市中心的大峡谷了。大峡谷并不幽深, 10左右。从桥上俯瞰,整个峡谷里溪水、青树、绿草,高低错落错落有致。坐在峡谷边的石椅上小憩,很是惬意。这里古墙深巷僻静,绿树青藤缠绕,鸟语花香、幽静闲雅。 整个卢森堡市很小,暴走两三个小时足够了。Sylvia有卢森堡卡,可以免费参观城堡。然而到城堡时才发现,这并非完整意义上的城堡,都是遗址,所以我决定不进去了。就此和Sylvia道别,她返回荷兰阿姆斯特丹,转机回国;我则去德国科布伦茨,继续我的欧洲之旅。 买明信片费点周折,邮局却很好找,志是P&T,就在火车站附近。邮局门口的牌子上有两种文字,一种居然是汉字,写着“邮政博物馆”,另外一种文字我猜大概是法语。我很好奇地照了相。 回火车站取行李,查发车时间,发现居然没有我在卢森堡国铁网查到的车次。跑到信息台一问才知道,手里拿的时刻表上的发车时间实际上是周六周日才有的车次,从卢森堡去科布伦茨要在trier转车。不管怎样都要转车,就转吧。 在车上碰上一个大婶,她住在trier前一站,她说trier很古老很美,那我也去不了了。隔着过道那边坐着一位老爷爷,白头发白胡子真有气质,很像玩具店里卖的老爷爷玩偶形象。玩偶老爷爷常向我笑笑,真慈祥。大婶下车后,我就追着玩偶老爷爷问站。 到trier后,查时刻表,我的车次在12站台,拼命跑过去后发现13站台也有去科布伦茨的火车,顿时蒙了。问列车员,他讲法语说不明白。最后旁边一个mm用英语说13站台是慢车,12站台是快,她刚好也在科布伦茨转车,于是一起上车。车上聊了半天,后来都累了,她就看报纸,我看时刻表。她问我要不要看报纸,我说我看不懂那种语言。我们都笑了,那是德语。她教我说法语和德语的谢谢,你好,再见,很好玩。我担心找不到酒店,下了车后,那女孩只有10分钟的转车时间,却跑出来帮我问路,我送她双筷子作为答谢。其实酒店Hotel National离火车站很近,很好找,之前的担心是多余。Check in之后,又定了两天的早餐2.5欧,又定了上网费用2.5欧。电梯很小,单人间房间也不大,但还算舒服,,洗澡厕所在外面,房间里有台盆,可以洗脸。烧了水,上网,写旅行日志和记录花销。收到Table邮件,回邮件。一切平安。([]
放点片花,先吸引一下眼球【先预览一下~】【写在开始前】 子辰打来电话的那个早上,我连牙都还没有刷,正在给阿呆做着早饭。 挂了之后也并没反应过来,脑子里只剩下几个关键词语:南美、自驾、40号公路、不要钱!又呆了几分钟后,我就只记得不要钱了。(高的家伙是小马,矮的家伙就是阿呆哈哈~) 小广告一下,我们的微信公众号往下看哈哈(最右边就是我们在沙溪的家了~) 还以为拥有充足的时间准备,因为计划的行程开始是15年的3月27,收到消息的时候连14年都还没有跨过去呢,但哪知道工作上的事情正好特别多,一直到出发前我都还没有做功课,只知道这次要去的地方应该是地球上直线距离最远的了,脑袋里一片浆糊就跟着走了,以至于下面对线路和行程的整理,完全是回来后才搞明白的......线路及自驾说明【线路及自驾说明】为什么选择40号公路?相比较美国那几条耳熟能详的自驾线路来说,阿根廷的自驾线路鲜有人知。说实话,当初接到子辰兄的电话让我做行程安排的时候,我才第一听说40号公路,在网上能查到的关于它的自驾攻略几乎没有。但它在外国旅行者中,特别是摩托骑士口中,就像朝圣之路一般,为什么呢?来看看我下面的介绍吧~ 安第斯山脉是世界上最长的山脉 ,从北到南蜿蜒七千多公里,构成了整个南美大陆的脊梁,山脉本身也是阿根挺和智利两国的天然国界线。在山的东侧,有一条全长近五千公里的公路,自阿根挺南部的火地岛向北一直到达玻利维亚边界,大多数时候与安第斯山脉平行。公路经过阿根廷的3个大区11个省份,跨过18条主要河流,13个大湖和盐湖,有桥梁236座,沿途经过20个国家公园和保护区,包括南美最高峰阿空加瓜登山大本营,并连接27个安第斯山过境山口,这就是被称为世界上最荒凉的阿根廷40号公路。 切.格瓦拉曾在23岁时,骑着他的诺顿500驶入40号公路,开始了他的旅程并写下了《骑士日记》。后来这段故事还被改编为电影。(科普完毕,我也是网上看来的~) 而这次我们是从布宜诺斯艾利斯出发,由东向西跟随7号公路然后在门多萨向南转入40号公路。整个行程我们将作为子辰兄的摄影助理同行,这也就是为什么免费的原因了。(实线是自驾线路,全程是4000多公里,虚线是飞行线路。由于没有办理智利证,所以车子无法跨越智利国土去到乌斯怀亚,只能是从埃尔卡拉法特飞到了乌斯怀亚。)(没有任何意外的话,这是我进行过最长途跋涉的一次旅行了,为了到达目的地,我们从沙溪——丽江——北京——多哈——圣保罗——布宜诺斯艾利斯,光在飞机上坐着就耗费了30多个小时,很多次不知道白天黑夜,对于目的地的兴奋感早都被消磨完了。) 算起来也是第二次在国外自驾(第一次是在土耳其沿地中海自驾,就是上一篇烂尾的游记,因为没时间实在写不下去了。。。),但是之前也说了没时间准备,所以关于租车、证件、路况等等都一无所知,好在子辰和小马在出发前做足了准备,我也得以拿来整理如下: 关于驾照:阿根廷是认可国际驾照的,但我没有~ 所以驾照就是去公证处公证一份西班牙语的翻译件即可。 关于租车:由于我们的车辆是旅行社直接提供的,所以我不知道具体的费用,不过在阿根廷安飞士和赫兹我都有看到,所以租车是完全没问的。 关于加油:阿根廷大部分的车辆是柴油动力,而柴油的价格因为地区、品质和不同的加油站的区别,价格在1到2美元不等。柴油型号也是多种多样,我们一路基本都是添加的EURO。 关于路况:现在的40号公路较以前已经改观了很多,这一路上,80%的路面都已进行了硬化,剩下的20%虽是弹石路,但也较为平整。 关于过路费:一路上只有在7号公路上遭遇过收费站,不论是高速还是国道,比国内的收费稍便宜一些。转入40号公路上没有任何收费。 其它注意事项: 1、阿根廷只要是行驶在路上的车辆,都是全天开大灯的,不过当然是近光,远光灯去死~ 2、在跨越一些省界的时候会有宪兵或者警察对车辆或行李进行检查,而有一些是要对车辆进行消毒处理的(过程不复杂~),也由一些是不能带水果过境的...... 3、路和交规和国内基本一致,除了绿灯不亮不能右转。 4、路况虽然不错,但是尽量不要开夜路,沿途野生动物太多,撞到牛啊马啊什么的一点也不稀奇。 5、不要超速,罚单很贵,因为我们被罚惨了。。。 6、上了40号公路后,看到加油站的话,就算还有半箱油也宁愿先加满,也不要问我为什么知道~ 对了,还有关于汇兑:我们是在国内换好了美金,但是在阿根廷银行里换的话只有1:8.5左右,也由攻略说在布宜诺斯艾利斯的弗罗里达大街换可以到1:12左右,但是很多人说会换到假币,并且用不完的钱拿回银行也换不回美金,综合考虑到安全和便捷的问,我们一直是找导游换的1:10,在一些店铺是可以直接使用美金购买的,1:11的样子,也可以进行兑换,不过只兑换50和100的面额。 其他的我暂时也想不起来,如果大家有什么问,我一定知无不言~(根据上面的行程看来,大家应该也明白了,我们这次的行程时间很紧,每两地之间的路程都很遥远,大部分的时间都是在车上看风景了。。。)人和物的介绍【人和物的介绍】 说了这么多,下面就介绍一下这次同行的已经是好基友的和在行程中变成了好基友的队友们~ 小马,江湖人称马哥,这个蚂蜂窝账号是她的,是的,现在不是她在写,是她分配给我在写~ 因为她是我媳妇,我也没办法。 我们被别人组了一个组合叫“猴年马月”......自从认识她后我就跟着她玩了好多地方,是的,我是她的小跟班~ 她常年在玩,这会她在楼下玩阿呆,作为资深的玩家,她不写的原因用她的话说就是她有更重要的事情要做,所以这会她应该是在谋划下一次旅行或者是正在盯着某一家航空公司的特价机票两眼冒光~ 还有就是,上一篇烂尾的土耳其自驾游记,责任在她哈哈...... 子辰,某知名网站编辑,我们只在“猴年马月”的婚礼上见过一面,第二面就直接是这次在首都机场T3了。 深度文艺中年,旅行途中带了两本书,一本丢了,另一本看了两页。 因自诩风光摄影师,而本姓李,所以偶尔我会昧着良心叫他“安塞尔.亚当李”,一般是在他买单前后~ 关于这次的旅行他也会在汽车之家的论坛里发布游记,当然我们的角度肯定是不一样的,因为他183CM,我168CM(什么都不要说~),我们看到的世界完全不同~ 而且他放言要在游记里每天写死我一次,我期待看到我的各种死法~ 为什么要写死我?因为当他自诩纪实摄影师的时候,我没有叫他“李布列松”~ 由于我就带了一个小相机,而且是35定焦不能换头的,所以以下如果有一些展示不出来的我就借用了子辰的照片,为了区分,我的加了水印。 我,名怿昀,大家都叫我猴子,这个我本来是不愿意的,不能你叫我猴子我就叫猴子啊,我也得觉得好听才行,可是因为我本姓侯,所以Duang的一下,大家都叫我猴子了。随着这些年越发无法卖萌,那些嫌我老的人也就越来越多的叫我师兄或者猴哥~ 这也就自然变成了“猴年马月”组合~ 由于兴趣爱好过于广泛,自然精通的没有几样,平时就靠着拍照和设计混混日子。每一次的旅行都是跟着马哥混,成长自然是惊人的,至少我英语以前只会Yes和No,现在已经会You can you up了~Leo,我们这次行程的地接导游1号,除了中间有事离开了两天,都是他在陪着我们,据他自己说,我们这次的行程他和EX都来过,说多了都是泪,哎~ 自幼随父母从台湾移民阿根廷,完全融入了阿根廷的生活,现在已经发展成了国际倒爷,平时除了带游客走走看看,会把国内的小商品卖到阿根廷,再把阿根廷的红酒卖到国内~ 此人拥有一身练过又反弹了的肌肉,身高堪比“安塞尔.亚当李”,至今单身,在此征婚(我保证是他让我说的~)据说叫Leo的人都很自恋,听上去好像比较偏颇,但是这位Leo再次证明了这一论点。如果楼下也有叫Leo的不要怪我嘴贱,我也是听来的而已呵呵~小白,导游2号,在Leo有事的那几天与我们同行。自高中时来阿根廷留学,至今大学虽没毕业,婚倒是结了一个,说到这,得说说他的这个媳妇,反正我是没听明白,你们来分析分析:信仰古巴一个巫术小教派、出生在一个犹太教家庭、半阿根廷半法国血统、金发、职业是护士。没听明白吧?但听上去很不错的样子~ 当然他和我们分享的最多的还是结婚之前积累的各种经验,对于这些经验我无法一一道来,但是我们都建议他写一本《阿根廷各州各信仰各民族各肤色泡妞指南》,书名虽长,但一定很实用,而且一定要先给Leo看看~漫长的准备 仓促的开始 (从沙溪到布宜诺斯艾利斯)【漫长的准备 仓促的开始(从沙溪到布宜诺斯艾利斯)】 出发前的一个月,我总算有时间瞟了一眼地图,哎呀,我要从南走到北啊~ 不对,是从北走到南,但差不多啊,北面多热,南面多冷~ 这一路走下来温差可够大了,当下眼珠子一转,拨了朋友的电话,谁让他是搞户外用品的呢~ 就这样,还没开动,朋友就给赞助了衣服鞋子,而且都是顶级的~事实证明在世界尽头的冷风中给了我们十足的温暖啊,啥户外?神州户外啊!(毫无广告痕迹)下面还有二维码~~ 具体准备证的问就不详细再说了,我们的证是通过旅行社代办的,但是资料都是自己准备好的,后面免去了面也算是方便了很多。 就这样,拖拖拉拉的准备了4个月,期间我们和子辰连面都没见,直到出发的前一天,我们三个从三个不同的地方出发,马哥从沙溪到丽江找我会合后直奔机场飞向帝都。(以免又购买易碎品放在背包里收到挤压,特意买了个行李箱,我们自己设计的关于沙溪的贴纸也总算有地方贴了~) 我们乘坐的是卡塔尔航空的班机,凌晨2点起飞,子辰一直在忙着准备这个行程的各种资料,一直到起飞前1小时他才赶到机场和我们见面,要不是我们的护照还在他手里,我们早过关逛街去了,没办法等到他后直奔值机柜台。 就这样,我们出发了,在过关后去登机口的轻轨上我问子辰:关于行程,我们聊聊?;聊啥?就是我拍照,你也拍照,别的想到的再说,飞机上还有20多个小时呢~;......
一夜火车,两个人稍显困顿,火车晚点,原本7点左右到站的,都七点半了也没有进站的趋势,于是我们开始了神智不清的各种推测:“难道这趟火车不停站而是选择到站自行跳车吗?”“啊,不是吧,空降?...”逛吃逛吃逛吃逛吃的我们终于到达嘉兴站!天空飘着蒙蒙细雨,钻进鼻腔的空气清透凉爽,南方的冷果然是有质感的,是一种近乎玻璃一样通透的湿凉。在火车站迷糊了一会决定打车去乌镇,司机大叔显得有点酷,不怎么讲话,没睡醒的我们也显得不是那么精神。打车的发票被留下来了,111元,尽管有点小贵,但~四十分钟左右终于来到了西栅游客服务中心!我们已经瞅到了乌镇的样子!于是属于北方汉子专有的吃惊出现了,南方的冬天还有这么多绿色哇,柳树竟然像是初春的样子耶,花儿明明就是含苞待放的状态嘛!!接着是一顿疯狂拍照,恨不得翻滚在绿色草地上!如果说南方的冬天如一位亭亭玉立的少女,那么北方的冬天完全就是一个聪明绝顶的老头了([]
