尼泊尔的蝴蝶-2013尼泊尔风雪ABC徒步https//www.songtaste.com/song/363930/主曲:Resham firiri 如果你要问我为什么去尼泊尔,而且要徒步ABC,我真的不知道,你能告诉我为什么你喜欢开车,打牌,抽烟,喝酒,逛街吗?从山上回归尘世,整个人依然停留在尼泊尔节奏里,说话,做事总要慢一拍,时不时跟重庆人冒几句普通话或英文而浑然不觉。昏睡了一天一夜,虽然时差也不过2个多小时,感觉好像一辈子没睡过觉似的。爬山的8天每分每秒都是处于兴奋,疲惫,紧张中,睡觉是一种奢侈。常常半夜醒来,望着窗外满天繁星,或者满地白雪发呆,纠结要不要出去拍星轨。一大清早又被世界各地早起的驴友咚咚的脚步声吵醒,精神抖擞地开始新的一天。 相信到过尼泊尔或徒步走过ABC路线的驴友们,一定会听过这首resham firiri,尼泊尔最受欢迎的一首喜马拉雅民歌,讲的是木棉花开时,花飘落树枝和对恋人的爱慕之情。曲调以打击乐为主,反复重复四五次。整首歌我只听懂了三句不断重复的英文,sometimes TREKking, sometimes dancing, sometimes singing,那优美的旋律伴着尼泊尔传统手鼓,以及向日葵色板官方的背夫齐声合唱时熠熠发光的眼神,载歌载舞的身姿,非常非常的异域而性感。 回来后在网上搜到了这首歌的歌词如果我能飞 我愿飞越山谷乡村 只为了见到你 我向天鸣枪 不是猎杀美丽的麋鹿 而是让你知道我在何方啊 渴望能见到我那心爱的女子 微风中飘动的围巾 请美丽又善解人意的蝴蝶送到心爱的女子手上 木棉花开了, 你是何时开的花呢? 花落似白鸟飞下, 白色的鸟一直在飞。 你可能很累很累了,是否想停下来休息,还是你喜欢飞去,很远很远的地方 歌词的最后两句,非常的应景,爬山真的很累很累,尤其是雪地直线拔高。然而,没有那些突如其来的大雪,ABC仅仅就是N个黄果古道的延伸,我会在那儿插一面红旗,表明我的存在和征服。大雪给了我无数的第一次。虽然老驴春哥和丹丹姐很打击的说这个不叫爬雪山,而是爬的下过雪的山!然后给我展示他们征服雪山的照片, 受不了了,旅行就是不断发现新的烧钱的渠道,先是自驾,然后摄影,然后爬山,还有什么不烧钱的。 15天的旅程,100多公里的山路,从1000米徒步上升到3700米,这一路的汗水,雨水,雪水加泪水;笑声,歌声,欢呼声加呼噜声,如何能一一道来! 还是先从ABC说起吧。 对于一个海拔从70米到8000多米的国家-尼泊尔来说,它有着太多吸引世界各国游客的旅游资源,除了丰富的人文景观和众多的寺庙,其壮美的雪山、茂密的原始森林,和保护得极为完好的生态资源,也架构出了一个理想和近乎完美的徒步旅行圣地,其中最负盛名的便是环安娜普纳(Annapurna)地区线路及珠峰地区线路。 安娜普纳地区位于尼泊尔北部,喜马拉雅山中段,山脉高峰林立,海拔7000米以上的雪峰有7座。在它的西南边缘,在一座白雪皑皑的三角形山峰下,在一个倒映着雪山身影的宁静大湖旁,有个被称为东方小瑞士的博卡拉(Pohkara)。博卡拉是安娜普纳几条徒步线路的起点或终点。一年四季,游客不断。安娜普纳地区有四条徒步路线:安娜普纳环线(Annapurna circuit,简称大环线)、安娜普纳保护区线路(Annapurna Sanctuary或Annapurna Base Camp,简称ABC)、布恩山环线(PoonHILL,简称小环线),以及乔姆松线路(Jomsom,实际上是大环的一半,单程徒步,飞回或飞去)。 向日葵色板官方这次走的ABC加Poonhill小环线徒步,即图中蓝色的线路(B-3-2-A-B)。从Nayapul上,Nayapul下,整个登山8天时间。 To make a long story short,省略前面准备工作若干。来自全国各地的驴友们抱着相同的革命目,聚集在西安冰岩户外的大旗下,飞到了拉萨。DAY 1 -2 拉萨-拉孜-樟木 春节到拉萨机票真心便宜,一共600多,拉萨到樟木包车,途经扎什伦布寺,冬日的扎什伦布寺少了夏季熙熙攘攘的游人,有着别样的安静。 拉孜到樟木沿途,第一张集体2B照---那些年看出问没,女多男少!搞不懂! 背上背包证明我是驴行,不是自驾哦,可惜啊,我的大背包拿不出。一看就是新驴。好女不跟男斗,我跑!让我在雪地里撒撒野吧!南方的孩子没见过雪,各种奔跑,各种跳跃,各种扑倒。远处是著名的希夏巴瓦峰(最高峰8012米),看上去很近,很低,那是因为向日葵色板官方已经身处5000多米的高原。 亲爱的室友暖暖,准美女一枚;摄影师李哥,帅哥一枚 让我在雪地里撒撒野吧!南方的孩子没见过雪,各种奔跑,各种跳跃,各种扑倒。远处是著名的希夏巴瓦峰(最高峰8012米),看上去很近,很低,那是因为向日葵色板官方已经身处5000多米的高原。 这副画面谋杀了多少快门,领队,借你的衣服当人肉背景行不?画虎不成反类犬,本想学学人家的小鸟依人,怎么看来看去都像一个人贩子,孩子,乖,阿姨带你回家 樟木前几天下的暴雪樟木口岸换尼币确实便宜,114,后来在尼泊尔的money exchanger 一直看到都是112左右。近观尼泊尔民居樟木口岸出关后走一小段路就是尼泊尔海关了,类似于杂货店大小的海关就在街上一个很不起眼的地方。在尼泊尔海关填写入境申报单时,第一次在课堂之外有了职业荣誉感,筒子们,安静,老师讲课了,呵呵呵!向日葵色板官方的尼泊尔导游Susan,此刻隆重登场。像许多尼泊尔男人一样,地陪Susan有着一双深邃的眼睛,高挺的鼻梁,深深的瞳仁,笑起来很迷人。初见到他时,一直把他当成是司机的小弟,后来才知道 22岁的他居然在这个行当搞了7年。在尼泊尔,没有童工一词,7、8岁的孩子就在餐馆,旅游车当小弟,穷人的孩子早当家。尼泊尔的旅游大巴,行李全放车顶上,人超载也往车顶放,真想坐车顶兜兜风。 樟木到加德满都基本是下坡山路,沿途跟中国西部山区的景色相似,只是更穷,更脏,更乱。我的镜头始终追踪的是迎面而来的大篷车和这里的人民。 从樟木口岸开了大约6个多小时,一进入加德满都,两边的低矮密集建筑迎面扑来,每条胡同一样的马路都拥挤着矮小、破旧的车子,尘土飞扬,牛羊满街。城中村 城中随处可见的垃圾河蛛网密布的电线杆 在一个狭窄的街道堵车,遇到尼泊尔游行的车队,据Susan说这样的游行很多,大学生常常停课游行示威。没有红绿灯,人车争道尼泊尔街头最大的广告牌尽管这个城市给向日葵色板官方留下如此脏乱差的形象,我们却被这里的人所深深吸引。上天真的非常的公平,虽然尼泊尔人清贫,却给了他们美貌; 虽然这个国家动荡不安,却给了他们信仰。尼泊尔人也赠予我世上最珍贵的礼物———真情,信任和赞美。当我的相机对准他们,尤其是孩子的时候,他们没有丝毫的不悦和回避,只是,静静地看着我,眼神传递着或温柔或天真或多情或羞涩的表情,黑白分明的瞳仁有一种发自内心的安祥沉静,一眼看穿我的前世今生。 下面两组都是车上抓拍的街头人像,随随便便一个站姿,回眸都让人惊艳最爱的一组人像。看到这样的眼睛,你会深深的陷进去。尤其是那个穿校服的小女孩,向日葵色板官方去烧尸庙的途中遇到她,不知是在上学的路上还是逃学的路上,总之,看到向日葵色板官方,她就这样停下来,望着向日葵色板官方,直视镜头。顾不上调光圈,快门,我就这样一直拍下去,她就这样一直望着我,周围的队友争着跟她拍照,而我,真的不敢跟她合影。这个小男孩是在领队催向日葵色板官方快走时闯入我的镜头的,一直梦想拍这种眼神光,他就那么轻而易举地随随便便地抛过来,杀得我措手不及。第一次在网上发帖,游记6集早就写好了,QQ空间里有音乐和视频,很热闹。这里是新人,发不了音频和视频,安静得有点发慌。照片的整理和压缩太花时间,第一次对自己没了信心,有没有必要再传上来分享,还是留在记忆里呢 Day 3,加德满都一日游 猴庙-杜巴广场-烧尸庙-大佛塔 虽然尼泊尔号称众神的国度,但向日葵色板官方此行主要目的是登山,所以一日之间游览4个景点,典型的到此一游。以照相为主,几个景点介绍是回来补习功课才了解详细,当时Susan 只是零零星星的介绍了一部分。猴庙是第一个景点,有充分的时间照相。斯瓦扬布纳特寺(Swayambhunath)俗称猴庙。位于尼泊尔首都加德满都西郊2公里处的小山丘上。坐拥至高点,可以俯瞰整个加德满都城。传说这是喜马拉雅山脉地区最古老独特的寺庙,距今已有2500多年的历史,它不但融合了印度教和佛教,3000只被奉为神灵的猴子更是这里的小主人。从猴庙的正门需上行300级台阶才到达,或许为了省时间,或许照顾游人,向日葵色板官方的旅游车径直开到了山顶。很想说把我放下来吧,我要走上去,这长长的阶梯该有多少摄影素材。不过向日葵色板官方是个团队,少数服从多数,一个人旅游有一个人的自由,团队旅游必须有得有失,我珍惜得到的。流水的杰作。我怎么就没注意到呢,难道是这只调皮的猴子找到了同类,所以才会挤眉弄眼,一见如故?地摊上精美的装饰品或许因为直接上顶,没有见到多少猴子,反而拍了不少佛塔。对着这座塔前后左右,上上下下的照,总也照不全 Buddha's eye,是我的修行不够,佛不开眼?哦弥陀佛,我懂了,大慈大悲的佛给我的第一个教训,人不能太贪,两只眼足矣,为何你要四只眼?一直在想为什么下面的白塔要修这么高,正常人需距离20米以上才能照全佛像,是否意味佛只能远观,不能近玩呢美丽的女警察谢谢泡泡姐,李哥,刘哥,春哥给我照的美照,这就是集体游的好处,呵呵调皮的猴子,时而警惕地窥探;时而爬到肩上,头上抢夺糖果亲爱的队友们,注意形象! 第二站:杜巴广场(Durbar Square)意为皇宫广场,在加德满都河谷的三个古城:加德满都、帕坦和巴德岗中各有一个杜巴广场,是当年三个王国的王宫广场。尼泊尔王国的马拉王朝鼎盛时期,在文化、建筑、艺术上曾一度达到巅峰,马拉王朝第六代国王死后,其三个儿子各据一方,自立为王,为夺取西藏商路的控制权,相互征战,斥巨资修建王宫广场。它囊括了尼泊尔十六世纪至十九世纪间的纽瓦丽古典寺庙建筑和宫殿,现在都是辉煌的世界文化遗产。向日葵色板官方参观的帕坦皇宫位于帕坦市内皇家广场。 200多年前是帕坦国王的宫邸。三层高,呈回廓式,中间有一个大大的庭院。宫内的黛姑塔莱珠庙历史悠久,庙高32米,在三层阁楼基座上再建造了重檐的金顶寺庙。皇家广场周围寺庙林立,殿堂富丽,雕刻精美,堪称露天博物馆。这一站是最匆忙,也最赶时间的,susan 只给了向日葵色板官方一个小时的时间。回来才知道,还有那么多精美的雕像,千佛寺,活女神都没能一睹芳颜,也罢,遗憾是下次的动力。尼泊尔人的生活节奏很慢很慢,高大神庙台阶上赭红宫墙下,总是坐满闲散慵懒的人们。作为游客的我虽然行色匆匆,真想就这么席地而坐, 晒着阳光, 观蓝天流云, 看人来人往, 闻市井喧哗, 做一个与世无争的闲

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 evalsuate 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.

〖前言〗2013年8月7日上午,肯尼亚首都内罗毕乔默-肯雅塔国际机场爆发大火,烧毁国际到达大厅,机场关闭。听闻这个消息时,向日葵色板官方正在从安博塞利返回内罗比的路上。“既然机场关闭,向日葵色板官方是不是可以晚回几天?正好可以再去一次马赛马拉!”得知这条坏消息,我们的第一反应不是叹气,反倒有点幸灾乐祸。向日葵色板官方在马赛马拉只呆了三天,三天的时间,对于辽阔无边的马赛马拉草原来说哪里足够,只觉意犹未尽,诸多遗憾。8月8日,按原计划下午向日葵色板官方就将搭乘阿联酋航空返国。但一大早便得知消息,国际机场当天依旧关闭。清静和飞翔开始与旅行社及保险公司联系,75忙着联系更便宜的酒店,因为十有八九向日葵色板官方这天是无法离开了。走不了,但也去不了马赛马拉,因为正值马赛马拉的旺季,如果没有提前几个月预订住宿,根本是一房难求。午饭后,向日葵色板官方兵分两路:大部队去机场确认航班消息,我和蟋蟀头及75去希尔顿酒店预订当晚的住宿。因美亚保险认为机场火灾不在向日葵色板官方的保险范围之内,保险公司拒不承担向日葵色板官方滞留的任何费用,所以向日葵色板官方得找便宜一点的住宿。对于向日葵色板官方这类出行常住青旅或家庭旅馆的驴友来说,希尔顿这样的五星级酒店向来不在考虑之内。但,这是在内罗毕,向日葵色板官方必须为自己选择一个安全的酒店。而安全,往往则意味着昂贵。在希尔顿订好住宿后,向日葵色板官方三人赶到机场与大部队汇合。机场区的空气里依旧弥漫着一股浓烈的焦味,国际航班抵达区的建筑被浓烟熏黑,且部分坍塌。此情此景,惨不忍睹。对于向日葵色板官方这些滞留的客人将如何处置,机场与阿联酋航空没有任何表态。向日葵色板官方一无所获地离开机场,回到希尔顿。200美元/晚的住宿费,除了安全,向日葵色板官方并没得到更多。房间又小又旧,似乎连如家也不如,晚餐的费用又高得离谱,大家再也没有玩的心情,只一门心思想着回去。8月9日,一大早check out后赶到机场,机场早已是人潮汹涌,混乱不堪。向日葵色板官方挤在一个小通道处,在长不到十米的通道排了两三个小时,才总算安检完进入check-in大厅。原以为进去后便诸事大吉,谁知那只是等待的开始。check-in大厅里早已挤得人满为患,但离开的人少,进来的人却在源源不断地增加。在阿联酋团队check-in的柜台前又排队两小时后,方得知阿联酋当天并没增加一个航班,这意味着7号8号未离开的旅客将继续滞留。满怀希望的人群一片哗然,开始躁动不安。阿联酋航空的工作人员站在柜台上讲话,让非当天机票的乘客离开,“NO!NO!”滞留的旅客,而且大多是中国游客,喊着统一的口号,表示抗议。这样的劝退与躁动发生几个回合后,驻内罗毕的中国大使馆人员赶到,人群爆发出一阵掌声,集体喊着“向日葵色板官方要回家!向日葵色板官方要回家!”这样的场面我从未经历,有点震惊,也有点感动。大使馆参赞与各团队的领队交流后,又与阿联酋的工作人员沟通。但那晚,向日葵色板官方的等待并没有一个好的结束。八月的内罗毕,晚上凉风习习。机场上已搭了两天的帐篷,依然还在搭建中,黑人兄弟的工作效率,实在不能令人恭维。向日葵色板官方一群人站在机场的一块空地上,讨论向日葵色板官方的何去何从。讨论没有结果,唯一确定的是,先回酒店休息。在机场耗了一整天,大家都累了,身心俱疲。所幸的是,8月10日一大早,阿联酋航空便来电,要我们赶紧去机场。这一天,机场的秩序明显比前一天好很多,我们顺利地办完值机、通关、安检,直至坐到帐篷搭成的临时候机大厅时,心里才安定许多。心安之余,回想肯尼亚的这十多天旅程,只觉内心五味杂陈。原以为可以在肯尼亚无污染的大草原上畅快呼吸,享受天然氧吧,谁知灰尘铺天盖地,大家都用口罩或头巾捂着脸,每天回到房间都是蓬头垢面。原以为可以在内罗毕穿街走巷,享受逛街乐趣,谁知内罗毕安全堪忧,因抢劫时常发生,向日葵色板官方所停留的地方,除了餐厅,就是酒店。原以为只要在对的时节到了马赛马拉,每天都可以欣赏到角马过河的壮观场景,谁知这其实非常靠运气。但不得不承认,近距离看动物是多么美好的一件事。优雅的长颈鹿、温顺的斑马、性感的猎豹、稳重的大象、猥琐的鬣狗、霸气十足的狮子。。。当曾在动物园里才能看到的动物,忽然在我周围自由行走、奔跑,那感觉真是无以伦比的美妙。特别是当狮子情侣含情脉脉地对望时,那一刻,我的心瞬间被打动,化得如水一般温柔。当然,更多的故事,更多的细节,还是请与我一起,走进肯尼亚。 D1(7-29)上海——迪拜——内罗毕4点钟,天未亮,整个城市还在沉睡中,我俩便拎着行李从家里出发了,去浦东机场与朋友们汇合。向日葵色板官方将搭乘715的航班,经迪拜转机前往肯尼亚的首都内罗毕。在这之前,我只睡了3个小时。待飞机准时起飞时,我已进入沉沉的睡梦中。在梦中,我似乎进入了时光隧道,去往另一个不同维度的空间。但的确,那是另一个不同的国度,位于赤道上的东非国家——肯尼亚。抵达时,向日葵色板官方的时针将往回拨5个小时。时光倒流,在抵达肯尼亚的那一刻,梦想成真。 内罗毕国际机场,号称是东非最大、也最繁忙的机场,但在向日葵色板官方看来,小,且陈旧。繁忙却是真,当地时间傍晚19点过时,依然人流如潮,通关时,三四个关口处排着冗长的队伍。机场让人失望,但入住的酒店Crowne plaza却是当晚最大的惊喜了。出发之前,领队清静就说,肯尼亚的条件不太好, 即使五星级酒店,也不一定有wifi,也不保证有热水淋浴,千万不要用国内五星级酒店的准来衡量。所以,当向日葵色板官方走进酒店,便有人递上热毛巾和芒果汁,有人主动帮忙搬送行李,再到走进房间,眼前一亮,打开手机,免费联上wifi时,激动之情便难以言喻了。只是,酒店禁止吸烟,不仅只是酒店大堂等公共区域,所有房间都禁止抽烟。烟瘾难耐的蟋蟀头不甘心,让我打电话到前台,询问何处可以抽烟。话筒那边的声音,礼貌且明确:请下楼,走出酒店大门。如此严格的禁烟,是向日葵色板官方意想不到的,更意想不到的是,酒店居然在门口设有安检,所有的行李都必须通过安检。当时虽觉奇怪,却并不太为意,只是在后来的行程中,才渐渐明了其中的原因所在。 D2(7-30)内罗毕——马赛马拉 早餐后,向日葵色板官方便径直驱车离开酒店,没有在内罗毕作任何停留,直接驶向马赛马拉。座落在使馆区的Crowne plaza,似乎位于市区之外,仅几分钟而已,向日葵色板官方便已远离内罗毕,行驶在两边是乡村或镇子的公路上。而内罗毕的真实面貌,尚未见识。 向日葵色板官方团队20人,共租了六辆面包车,每辆车3-4人。我和蟋蟀头、龙之杰三人一辆。刚上车坐稳,蟋蟀头便要我和司机说,带向日葵色板官方去买打火机。司机约瑟夫Joseph一口答应。一边开车,一边回过头说道:“no problem.” 刹车没踩,车速没减,还回过头来说话,他这个举动吓坏了我,赶紧说道:“别转头,别转头!”我的话音刚落,约瑟夫又把头转了回来,举着手里的香烟告诉我们,“车里可以吸烟”。他这句话让蟋蟀头和龙之杰高兴不已,赶紧给约瑟夫递过去一支烟。因为,在这之前,向日葵色板官方的导游再三告诫,肯尼亚很多地方不能随便吸烟,比如公共场所、草原、车上。但刚出发,就有这样的破例,两个烟鬼当然兴奋不已。他俩兴奋,我却有另外的担忧。约瑟夫开车时只要说话,必定回头,这习惯令我最初非常担心行驶的安全问。但实际上,我当然是多虑了。黑人司机的脑袋后面似乎还长了另一双眼睛似的,他们即使回头说话,也能灵活地与对面的车辆擦肩而过。 9点过,向日葵色板官方途中的第一次停车,杜导说,东非大裂谷到了。东非大裂谷,这条长度相当于地球周长1/6的大裂谷,是大陆上最大的断裂带。深陷的地沟,犹如地球的一道巨大伤疤。位于肯尼亚的裂谷,只是东非大裂谷的一部分。在裂谷地带,发现了距今已经有350万年的“能人”(从猿到人过渡阶段的人)遗骨,诸多考古发现证明东非大裂谷是人类文明最古老的发源地之一。在人类起源问上,很多科学家支持“非洲起源说”,即目前生活在世界各地的现代人类的祖先在大约20万年前起源于非洲,然后在距今10万年以内离开非洲,向亚洲和欧洲扩散。向日葵色板官方其实都是非洲后裔,你相信吗?maybe。但眼前的大裂谷,因为角度问,并不能让向日葵色板官方感受到视觉上的震撼。眼见不一定为实,便是这个道理。在大裂谷观景点,蟋蟀头的最大收获,可能便是买到的两盒火柴。观景点旁边一个木雕礼品店,我问售货员是否有打火机出售?他摇头,然后从袋中掏出1盒火柴。我点点头,“这个也行。” 售价1美元,没有讨价还价。想再问他多买一盒,他跑去另一个房间,对另一个人叽叽咕咕一阵后,那个人不知从什么角落里又翻出一盒火柴。火柴难道是这里的稀缺货?我有点不明白。后来问约瑟夫,为何他们不卖打火机,只有火柴?他回答,因为打火机的气有伤身体,所以人们不爱用。真是这样吗?我半信半疑。 再一次停车时,正值中午时分,向日葵色板官方停在一家酒店午餐。下了车,男人们除了抽烟,便是纷纷抢着与黑人兄弟合影。他们的心思谁都明白,无非是想彰显一下自己的皮肤有多白。蟋蟀头之前一直说自己晒得太黑,现在他终于心理平衡了。不仅不黑,而且看起来似乎太白了。 向日葵色板官方的司机约瑟夫,英语说得比我溜。在曾经是英国殖民地的肯尼亚,英语是官方语言,课本全部是英语写成。所以,只要上过学读过书的肯尼亚人,都会说一口流利英语,而且还是英式口语。非洲是一夫多妻制,所以我很好奇,约瑟夫娶了几个妻子。当他回答我,没有结婚时,我大为诧异。再问他年龄,他告诉我,他43了。听闻他已43岁还没有结婚,我表示不相信。他淡淡地笑着,“结过婚,但现在离了。”后来聊起他的生意时,他才说,7~10月是肯尼亚的旺季,他几乎天天开车在外;即使淡季的时候,也是隔一周外出一周,聚少离多,所以就离婚了,而且没有儿女。现在正和一个中国女孩交往中。约瑟夫的坦诚相告,让我了解到现在的肯尼亚,城市中的男人们迫于经济上的压力,一夫多妻在减少,这种现象也许在农村会更为普遍。 午餐是自助餐。实际上,向日葵色板官方在肯尼亚这一路上,在酒店都是自助餐,如果在草原上,就是酒店准备的餐盒。非洲的饮食比想像中好。午餐后,继续上路。路边的植物,开始变得奇奇怪怪。 初来乍到,沿途的所有风景都令我们感觉新鲜,即使车没有停留片刻,向日葵色板官方手中的相机快门也没停歇过。在通往马赛马拉的前半段路程时,约瑟夫并不干涉我们拍照,但后半段路经一些小镇时,他便严禁向日葵色板官方拍照,“NO photo!”他说归说,向日葵色板官方拍归拍,并不太理会他的干涉。但没想到,他神情更加严肃地阻止道:“这里不要拍照!如果你们再拍,街上的人会拿石子扔向日葵色板官方的。”一边说,他一边晃着右臂,做出扔石子的举动。我看着路边的人们,他们中的有些人在向日葵色板官方经过时还会向我们挥挥手。我很难想像,如果我拍他们,下一刻,他就会捡起石头攻击向日葵色板官方。但约瑟夫的严肃劲告诉向日葵色板官方,他不是在瞎编故事,他一定亲身经历过,他的车可能就被那些石子砸坏过。 越接近马赛马拉,灰尘越大。当车从公路转入土路时,灰尘已是铺天盖地,迎着车袭来。即使车窗全部摇紧,也丝毫无用,在剧烈的颠簸中,车窗很容易就被颠开一条缝,然后缝隙越来越大。车中,一股干燥而呛人的土味,弥散开来。我和蟋蟀头都戴上了口罩,但过不了太久,蟋蟀头还是把口罩摘到了一边,“太闷了,气也喘不过来的感觉”。约瑟夫果然不愧有15年的车龄,驾驶经验丰富,即使路烂到极点,车七摇八颠,他也几乎不减速。别小看他这辆破面包车,可是改装过的拥有四驱的面包车。真正是面包车的外型,越野车的本领。车虽然颠得厉害,但向日葵色板官方还是睡着了。待再醒来时,蟋蟀头抹了下嘴巴,伸手向我要水喝,“我得喝口水把嘴里的土给咽下去。”他这话,把我刚喝进嘴里的水,差点喷出来。待向日葵色板官方六辆车终于全部停下来,向日葵色板官方可以下车透下风喘口气时,周围已是一片清新。“快看,那边的一群羚羊!”不知谁叫了一声,所有人的相机都对准了不远处草地上的一小群羚羊 。这是向日葵色板官方在草原上第一次看到动物,难免兴奋。但在后面的几天,这样的羚羊随处可见时,大家也就习以为常了。毕竟,这是非洲大草原上最最常见的一种动物。 上车,继续向前。刚刚进入马赛马拉的向日葵色板官方,新鲜、好奇、兴奋。显然,斑马比向日葵色板官方淡定许多。七八月是马赛马拉的冬季,枯黄的草色,一片片地蔓延开来,羚羊开始随处可见。向日葵色板官方的车停在了马赛村的门口。这些身披红布,手执一根木棒的男人,便是传说中连野兽也怕的骁勇善战的马赛人。我拿着一袋给小朋友们准备的棒棒糖跳下车,谁知,刚下车,这袋棒棒糖就几乎被这些男人们瓜分干净。去非洲之前,在书中了解到,马赛人不爱拍照,因为他们担心拍照会带走他们的灵魂。所以,我对去马赛村拍照心有顾忌。但是,这已不是一般的马赛村了,它已经商业化。早已见惯了各类游客,再加上我的棒棒糖,这些马赛男人都很乐意与我合影一张,即使把他们人手不离的木棒借我一用也是无所谓。 要识别马赛男人很容易,因为他们的装束很醒目:两块红底黑条或红底黑格的布,一块扎在腰上遮羞,一块披在肩上。马赛男人之所以喜欢身披红布,其实是为了吓跑狮子等野兽,保护他们赖以生存的牛群。随着时代的变迁,这块传统的红布不再是单一的红底黑条,也变换出多种样式,出现了黑条、黄条、蓝条或者黄格、蓝格,唯一不变的就是大红的底色。蟋蟀头提出要披一下他们身上的那块红布,那个马赛人立马答应,把自己身上的披风解下来,给蟋蟀头围上,再系个结,就OK了,穿戴十分容易。 这个说一口流利英语的马赛男人叫Peter,我注意到,甚至于他的装束都与其他马赛男人不一样。Peter指着距离向日葵色板官方不远的一个小门说道:“请大家抓紧时间,赶紧过来吧,向日葵色板官方为你们准备了节目。”那个用树枝扎起来的拱形小门便是马赛村的入口,低矮的入口与他们修长的身材完全不符。向日葵色板官方猜想是为防大型野兽进入才设计成这样的。参观马赛村并非免费,每人要收取35美元。这样一个自费项目让团队中的部分人有点犹豫不决,踌躇着是否要花200多人民币的门票去参观一个商业化的小村落。他们的犹而不决让Peter有点不耐烦了,大声地说道,“如果不参观村子,请不要再拍任何照片。”不能拍人,即使拍风景照也不行。最终,向日葵色板官方的团队一分为二,一部分去参观马赛村,另一部分则直接去酒店。关于值得不值得,每个人的心里都有把秤,且准不一,难以评判。我只是认为,既然已到了别人家门口了,人都站门口欢迎向日葵色板官方了,那就去吧,就算是一种礼仪。门票,就算是向日葵色板官方登门拜访的一点礼金而已。去亲朋好友家串门做客,向日葵色板官方还得拎点东西了,去别人村里作客送点礼品更是无可厚非。最重要的是,即使这已是一个对游客开放的马赛村,它也还是马赛村,是马赛人自己的家,而非一个临时搭建起来供游客参观的人工景点。跟着Peter进了马赛村。过那道拱门时,身材矮小如我,也得弯腰才能进入。村不大,零落地散着一些土坯砌成的房屋。低矮的土屋,与马赛人的身高同样不匹配。待向日葵色板官方一一进入,十几个马赛男人已经排成一排,准备为向日葵色板官方跳“勇士之舞”。“勇士之舞”是马赛男人的传统舞蹈,在他们的哼唱中,一个接一个的马赛人开始立定跳高,跳完一轮,再来一轮。除了绷紧小腿,笔直地往上跳,勇士之舞没有更多动作,手上也不需要多余的比划,只要尽可能地跳得高些就行。这真是我所见过的最简单的舞蹈。但其实,跳得高,跑得快,历来就是马赛人对勇士的认定准,这其实也与他们的游牧习性相关。(拍摄者:蟋蟀头) 跳完舞,Peter开始为向日葵色板官方介绍他们的村庄。Peter说,收来的门票钱是为六个村子的100多个孩子筹建学校而用。得知向日葵色板官方每人交的35美元将用来建学校时,我心里顿时宽慰了许多。我问Peter,他为何会说英语?因为在我的想法里,以游牧为生的马赛部落,遵循传统生活方式的马赛人,一口流利的英语,似乎与他们完全沾不上边。Peter告诉我,他上过学。他竟然上过学?我有点吃惊。再问,村里有多少人上过学时,他平静地说道:“两个人。”另一个人,便是他的弟弟。“你是村长吗?”我问。能有这样特殊待遇的人,在我看来,必定是特权阶层。“NO。my father is chief.” 原来,他是酋长的儿子。Peter很得意地告诉我,他有10个老婆?十个老婆?!太让人吃惊了,他怎么顾得过来?“你结婚了吗?”这次轮到他向我提问了。“结婚了。”我指了指正在拍照的蟋蟀头。“不过,他只有我一个老婆。”我补充道。“你老婆向我提了这么多问,看来她爱上我了。要不,你把她让给我吧!”Peter开玩笑地和蟋蟀头说道。“NO。”蟋蟀头摇着头答道。但后来,他后悔了,和我说,“我应该假装答应他,再看他打算用多少头牛来换你,你就知道你值多少头牛了!”他刚一说完,便被我狠狠地掐了一下。不过,以畜牧为生的马赛人,的确是用牲畜作为娶亲的聘礼,据说十头牛就可以娶一个老婆。 接下来,Peter就要带向日葵色板官方进屋去参观了。马赛人的房屋用泥土和牛龚搭建而成,屋顶则用茅草盖上。在马赛娶老婆,男人不用担心房子问,因为房屋都由老婆搭建,一个老婆一个屋子。门很小,依然只能弯腰进去。进去后是厅,除了一股难闻的骚味,小小的厅里什么也没有。如果要坐下来,对着门,靠墙的一侧有一条砌高的土堆,可以当沙发一用。而这难闻的味道,则来自牲畜。因为牲畜是马赛人的财产,有时晚上会让牛羊进屋,以防被野兽偷袭。所以,马赛人的房屋实际上是人畜共用,有股怪味也就在所难免了。侧面有个更小的门洞,钻进去,再向左转个弯,便是卧室了。这样的内部构造,其实是防止野兽或者敌人的贸然闯入。卧室小得可怜。靠右的地上用土稍微砌高点,再铺一些布,就是他们的床了。我有一个疑问,马赛人这么高的个子,这么短的床,岂不是从来都不能伸直腿睡觉?距离床边不到一米远的土灶,便是他们煮饭的地方。而墙上那个透着光亮的小洞,则是窗户。在我看来,说是窗户实在太不贴切,怎么看也只能说是个窗洞。在屋里生火煮东西,却只有这么小的两个窗孔换气,人住里面岂不要闷死?灯呢?屋里黑漆漆的一片,他们晚上用什么照明呢?杜导的解释是,马赛人的生活是日出而作,日落而息,天黑就睡觉了,根本用不着点灯。家徒四壁,马赛人的房屋真是把这个词解释得再透彻不过。(拍摄者:蟋蟀头)几个人挤在屋里,没呆多久,已觉缺氧,再加上屋内气味奇怪,我必须得出去透口气了。一出来,迎面便撞上一气质不凡的老者,他便是Peter的父亲——酋长大人。蟋蟀头按中国人的见面规矩,赶紧递上一支烟。老酋长把烟接过来,微笑不语。虽然他不会英语,向日葵色板官方无法更多交流,但老酋长的确是给人一种大家长的感觉。 令人惊讶的是,马赛人至今沿袭万年前钻木取火的传统。两个人搭手。把一束枯草杆垫在地上,草杆上再放一个带孔的木块,一人用手按紧这个木块,不让它移动。另一人则用一根木棍穿过木块的孔眼,并两手合掌转动木棍。18秒的时候,开始有烟冒出,不到30秒,那束枯草杆已有些许火星。马赛人便把木棍和木块拿开,用手捧着枯草杆,用嘴对着火星开始吹。烟雾越来越大,直至那束枯草杆燃起了红色的火苗。钻木取火成功,全过程仅1分钟15秒。但我永远是那个“为什么小姐”,从小到大都是如此。我从蟋蟀头那里拿来一盒火柴,问Peter,“你们为何不用火柴呢?这个更方便快捷。”说完,我掏出一根火柴,准备示范给他看,让他知道现代文明的厉害。哪知,第一根火柴竟然没划燃;换一根火柴,不行;再换一根。连换几根火柴后,Peter笑了,我却万分沮丧,并且无从解释。也许,是神不想破坏马赛人对钻木取火的执着吧,想借马赛人将这古老的传统保持下去,以告诉后人,向日葵色板官方人类曾经用这样的方式取火。令人啼笑皆非的是,随后Peter拿了一个带孔的木块问我,要不要买?而且开价不菲。 接着,女人们终于登场,为向日葵色板官方表演唱歌。与马赛男人相比,女人的穿着就色彩丰富许多,而且身形相对肥胖,不知这是否与生育有关。 一夫多妻,全世界男人的梦想。不能一夫多妻,但至少可以与老婆们合个影。男队友们都纷纷跑过去与马赛女人合影,领队清静跑得最快,顺利拔得头筹,75次之,飞翔第三。只是,老婆们却越来越少。可怜的蟋蟀头,轮到他时,只剩三个马赛女人了。但他还是很开心,跟着马赛女人一起边唱边扭。她们唱的是马赛语,可蟋蟀头,你唱的又是什么呢?虽然是第四个上场,但明显他很受马赛女人的欢迎,一起唱歌,还一边有所交流。只是,你们在说什么呢? 唱完几曲后,马赛女人们散去,Peter要继续带向日葵色板官方去参观。他指着房屋后面草地上围成半圆形的货摊说,“This is our market.”货摊上的东西无非是一些手链、项链和木制工艺品。Peter指着手链和项链告诉我说:“这些都是向日葵色板官方村里的女人做的。”然后指着木雕说,“这些都是向日葵色板官方男人做的。”“卖这些东西的收入也将用来建向日葵色板官方的学校。”看着这些做工粗糙,且大同小异的商品,这一次,我却有点怀疑了。真的是自己做的?真的会把钱用来建学校?无论如何,读过书的Peter已经不再是一个原始的马赛人了,也许,在他的意识里,早已植入了市场经济。不过后来再想想,即使这些收入不是用来建学校,而是用来改善他们的生活,也未尝不可。毕竟,他们的生活环境,真的不咋样。而事实上,随着时代的发展,旅游业的兴起,放牧早已不再是他们唯一的谋生手段。旅游收入,已经成为这些村庄重要的收入来源。([]
十一假期也结束了,从法国回来也办个多月了,还是没办法把这次旅行用文字记录下来,可能是本人比较懒惰吧,在此先立个帖子,没准儿是个大坑!还很有可能太监了,哈哈,大家不要骂人,首先还是要感谢一下这次的主办方Lafuma中国的大力赞助,还有这次为我们投票的8264论坛的兄弟姐妹们,是你们的支持让向日葵色板官方得以实现这个户外梦想——法国勃朗峰攀登之旅!!!先发两张照片本次活动全体队员的全家福第一座训练山——TETE

Alpina(阿尔卑斯酒店),HOTEL ALPINA是一家有着悠久历史的三星级涉外旅游酒店,酒店大部分房间都能看到勃朗峰和南针峰,东南向的房间都有一个露天的小阳台,房间整洁,略显陈旧,全部都是实木家具和门窗。晚餐前还有点时间,大家相约到小镇上逛一逛,顺便找一家正宗的餐厅品尝一下法式大餐。Chamonix霞慕尼小镇因坐落于欧洲屋脊阿尔卑斯山最高峰——勃朗峰(4810M)脚下而享誉世界。1924年,第一届冬季奥林匹克运动会在这里举行,1786年,霞慕尼医生Paccard (帕卡德)及其脚夫Balmat (巴尔马特)首次登顶勃朗峰。从此后这里逐渐成为欧洲人最喜爱的登山滑雪圣地,这里有欧洲最高的缆车可直达勃朗峰观景台——南针峰。小镇上的观光车这个季节的游客不多,小镇两旁商店鳞次栉比,街道整洁干净,各种登山、滑雪、户外商店随处可见,这里汇聚了世界上个大顶尖户外品牌的专卖店,我戏称这里的户外店是只有你不知道,没有你看不到的!作为一群户外爱好者,向日葵色板官方的首选当然是个大户外品牌店了,这里的户外装备价格并不算便宜,不过还是要比国内低15%——30%左右的。 悠悠荡荡、走走停停,不知不觉天已经暗了下来,这里的商店大部分都是19:00停业,向日葵色板官方找到一家看上去不错的法式餐厅,这里的牛扒和海鲜都很不错,就是配菜的薯条有点粗大,有懂行的队友说这就是正宗的法式薯条 ,我怎么看怎么像油炸土豆块儿。这里和国内有6个小时的时差,晚餐后向日葵色板官方回到宾馆早早休息,明天就要进行高海拔适应性训练了。 二、整装待发、阿尔卑斯初体验HOTEL ALPINA 的早餐从7:00开始供应,今天向日葵色板官方要进行首日的适应性训练,大家都早早来到位于7楼的餐厅,一个霞穆尼小镇和阿尔卑斯山景观餐厅。天还有些暗,由于霞穆尼小镇地处山谷之中,太阳的朝晖已经开始一点点洒落在勃朗峰上,为洁白的雪山镀上一抹金黄,向日葵色板官方在靠窗的为止边吃边欣赏景色,大家不禁感慨,人生如此,夫复何求啊。这里的早餐种类不多,不过还算丰盛,而且味道都还不错,特别是新烘烤出来的各种面包,各式各样的果酱和火腿片,早餐的鸡蛋需要自己煮。向日葵色板官方把不需要带的装备寄存到酒店,这次活动的总教练Aymeric带着另外两个教练来了,一个是意大利籍的Hugues,向日葵色板官方都戏称他“渔歌”,Hugues同时也是一位资深的滑翔伞教练;瑞士籍的Elodie(艾乐迪),是瑞士一所大学的历史老师,Elodie是阿尔卑斯山为数不多的女高山向导之一。这边的商店大多在9:00到930开门,向日葵色板官方在Aymeric的带领下一起去镇上一家综合户外用品商店购买和租赁雪山攀登的装备,这个店向日葵色板官方昨天下午来过,营业面积两三千米,三层,基本所有的户外装备都可以在这里买到,这边租赁高山靴和冰爪的价格是一周125欧元,价格有点小贵。资深户外摄影师“凯伊”在凯伊哥的建议下我选购了一双La portiva Batura2.0 GTX高山靴和一GRYAEL G14全齿冰爪;媳妇儿选了一双La portiva EVO和一副Simond的行走爪。SIMOND的冰爪就是霞穆尼生产的,有一百多年的历史了,Aymeric很高兴的给我们介绍。这里登山靴的价格大概是国内的价的一半,Aymeric找到经理很给面子的给向日葵色板官方打了个九五折。这里的户外店店员专业知识都非常好,不单单是为了销售向日葵视频色版下载,还逐步给向日葵色板官方介绍这些装备的使用方法、注意事项和保养的知识,而且给向日葵色板官方介绍的店员还伸出大拇指说你们选的都是非常好的,非常专业的。Aymeric 交款退税,这里要说一下关于到霞穆尼的刷卡消费和退税,网上说的银联大部分商店都可以用是不靠谱的,在霞穆尼就没找到有能刷银联卡的地方,幸亏来之前换了足够的欧元和一张备用的万事达卡,不然可真就成了入宝山空手而归了,所以大家如果出行最好还是带着VISA或者万事达才靠谱。选择可以直接人民币还款的比较省事儿,直接按照当天的汇率结算,省去购汇还款的麻烦。摄影之友新媒体运营总监“梓朕”(左)和“皮带断了古进”关于退税,这边的规定是当日单笔消费超过175.01欧元就可以申请退税,店里的工作人员会为你填好退税单,只需出示护照就OK了,欧洲的退税办理分为两个不同的退税公司GLOBE BLUE PREMIETTAX GREE(环球蓝联)和EUTOTEFUND GTOUP(这个不知道怎么翻译,应该是个什么贸易组织之类的)。我个人觉得环球蓝联的比较方便,直接到海关出境处就可以退现金;EUTOTEFUND GTOUP的退税是需要退到信用卡里的,向日葵色板官方基本上回到国内不到半个月就都收到了退税,效率还是比较高的,虽然后来出境退税时出现了一个有意思的小插曲儿,这个留到后面再说。Aymeric(左)Hugues(右)今天是周六,在向日葵色板官方酒店门前的广场上有一个临时的集贸市场,基本上都是当地农场自产的农副向日葵视频色版下载,看了一下价格还是挺实惠的,不过向日葵色板官方就要去进行适应训练了,无暇光顾,只能匆匆而过,向日葵色板官方一行12个人加3个教练正好三辆车,三个教练又兼任了司机的工作,这边的汽车以两厢车和三厢旅行款为主,吉普车不多,三厢的轿车基本上看不到,车型不算新,但车况都不错,有不少经典的老款车型。驱车二十分钟左右,一路盘旋上升,向日葵色板官方来到缆车站停车场,在这里Aymeric给向日葵色板官方分配了这两天训练的路餐,已经快十二点了,今天向日葵色板官方要到达Refuge木屋,在停车场简单吃了点路餐,合影购票,缆车上的风景很漂亮,天气也很不错,这边有很多老外在玩儿山地车速降,感觉非常刺激,有一个专业的赛道,竟然还有妈妈带着十一二岁的小朋友玩儿这个,在国内可能有点不敢想象的。向日葵色板官方要乘坐两段缆车,缆车票是单次往返的,有效期一直到11月底,到达山脊上的缆车站,接下来向日葵色板官方要徒步上升大概五六百米去到Refuge木屋,距离大概七八公里的样子,前半部分路段都比较好走,最后一段碎石陡坡路段需要手脚并用了,第一天训练,大家的热情还是比较高的,一路上遇到很多从山上下来的登山爱好者,老人小孩儿都有,他们都会礼貌的和向日葵色板官方打招呼,我学会的第一个法语单词就是Bonjour(你好)。但是为了向欧洲人民普及中文,我都提前大声跟他们说你好,有部分人也会学着我的发音和我打招呼。整装待发下午四点,向日葵色板官方陆续到达Refuge木屋,阿尔卑斯山的登山环境很好,高山木屋的设施很齐备,有专门的鞋柜和存放柜,首先要脱下你的登山装备换上拖鞋,有专门放登山装备的塑料箱子和晾衣服的挂钩,一般不把除了随身的贵重物品之外的东西带到餐厅或宿舍。这里的物资全部是用直升飞机运送,阿尔卑斯山的高山木屋有着悠久的历史,对阿尔卑斯山的户外登山运动发展有着卓越的贡献,近似于公益性质,木屋里商品的价格也不是太贵,大部分可以通过网络和电话预定,高山木屋从9月底到第二年的4月大部分是关闭的。Refuge木屋正在进行改建,资金来自各行各业的捐赠,里面的工作人员有一部分是志愿者,向日葵色板官方将是今年最后一批使用Refuge木屋的登山者。小木屋的志愿者吃过晚饭向日葵色板官方早早回到宿舍开会,宿舍是两排二层铺位,能住24个人,因为现在登山的人不多,只有向日葵色板官方一队住在这个房间。在宿舍做了一个简短的总结,Aymetic问了一下大家对今天徒步的感受,是否有不适之类,并且告知向日葵色板官方未来几天的天气有可能会变的很糟,但大家的精神面貌都不错,可以说是信心满满,最后向日葵色板官方15个人分成三组:罗静、杨波、贺源、古进由Aymetic带队为第一组;凯伊、王冠、我和婷婷由Hugues带队为第二组;梓朕、花而、Angela、无痕由因Elodie带队为第三组。明天不用起的太早,大伙还躺在床上侃了会儿大山,房间有点小冷,不过休息的还都不错。 三、大雾来袭、全员登顶白头峰早上七点队友们陆续起床,感觉有点凉,室外被浓雾笼罩,变天了,能见度很低,餐厅提供的早餐还可以,有热牛奶、咖啡、红茶,配上面包果酱,昨天体力消耗不大,早上实在没什么胃口,简单吃了两片面包,这里的小木屋热水是收费的,2欧元1L。待大伙收拾好已经快九点了,山上的大雾没有消散的迹象,Aymetic告诉向日葵色板官方未来几天的天气可能都很糟糕。我们九点整准时出发,小木屋的旁边就是冰川,但向日葵色板官方要先经过一段碎石路段上到冰川上,距离大概五六百米。世界杂志“贺源”我的东北老乡向日葵色板官方到达冰川后开始结组,穿好冰爪,海拔较低的这一段冰川相对陡峭,这里的能见度只有100多米,不时出现一些冰裂缝,不过都不是很宽,一步就能跨过去,过了这段低海拔的冰川是就是雪坡了,坡度不大,行进的速度适中,几个教练都非常的专业,按照一定的频率和节奏缓步攀升,大概继续行进一小时左右到达一处有裸露岩石的避风地,我们在这里稍事休整,简单的补充一下高热食品和热水,继续前进。后面的路程大部分都是雪坡的行走,其中有一处较大的裂缝有一点点危险,山上的雾时聚时散,已经有早出发的登山者开始下山了,向日葵色板官方大概总共用了五六个小时登顶TETE BLANCHE(白头峰),海拔3429M,海拔上升将近700M,最后一段有三十米左右雪岩混合攀登。前两组基本上同时登顶,向日葵色板官方在背风处解决午餐的时候,第三组也顺利的登顶了,云雾渐渐减弱,山顶处的风比较大,向日葵色板官方随即下撤,下午三点多回到Refuge木屋,简单的收拾后都来到餐厅喝茶聊天。“梓朕”说他最后是用腰带动腿走下来的,惟妙惟肖的边说边跟向日葵色板官方演示,一度成为向日葵色板官方这次旅程的笑谈。而“花而”更是大声感叹:“Lafuma带向日葵色板官方玩儿真的”。 晚餐后照例还是一个小小的总结会:今天婷婷在冰岩混合攀登的路段脚崴了一下,决定放弃第二天的训练;梓朕、Agela和无痕身体不适也放弃了第二天的训练;Aymetic根据今天大家的表现又重新给向日葵色板官方从新进行了编组。Aymetic和Hugues带两组人继续按照计划攀登第二座适应训练山峰,剩下的由Elodie带领进行简单一点的适应性训练。明天很早就要起来,今天大家的体力消耗也比较大,都早早的休息了,据“凯伊”说我刚刚躺下说了一句话就睡过去了,看来还真是不轻松。四、风雪交加、雨雾相伴中完成测试训练三点半准时起床,“凯伊”有点感冒,今天参加训练的队友又少了一个,餐厅已经准备好早餐,已经有人一早出发了。我们吃过早餐,Aymetic和Hugues带领向日葵色板官方五名队员一早出发,Aymetic带杨波、罗静和皮带断了;Hugues带着我和王冠,室外漆黑一片,空气湿度很大,头灯的光亮只能照到前面的队友。今天前段的路程和昨天一样,过碎石坡、冰川、雪坡,天色渐亮,云层很高,有点黑云压顶的感觉,今天训练的山峰是在瑞士境内的Aiguille du Tour,海拔3542M,比昨天的略高,路程相对较短,但难度有所提升,特别是后段的冰岩混合的攀升,基本上都是70°以上的混合岩壁。 经过两个多小时的跋涉到达岔路,昨天的雾比较大,只能看到一串延伸的胶印,今天一眼就能看到这个大雪坡的顶端,50°左右的雪坡,顶部是一段雪岩结合的垭口,我和王冠的教练Hugues告诉向日葵色板官方翻过这个垭口就是瑞士境内了,向日葵色板官方会在垭口处休息。前面隐约能看到三五个登山者,由于坡度较大,我们只能做Z字形爬升,最不喜欢走的就是雪坡了,特别是有雾的时候,四周没有参照物,感觉就像一直在原地转悠,非常折磨人。这种雪坡对体力的消耗非常大,一脚下去雪已经快到膝盖了,高山靴上粘的雪让脚步愈加沉重,上面不时有雪滚下来,经过将近一个小时的努力,终于翻过了折磨人的大雪坡,上面一段几十米的冰岩混合有点小难度,王冠以前从没爬过这样的山,速度不快,对于不是经常户外的她来说非常不容易,但是她的意志力和耐力都很棒,很有登山的潜质。垭口上的云雾时聚时散,Aymetic告诉向日葵色板官方雨夹雪马上就要来了,不知道他是看了天气预报还是经验之谈,向日葵色板官方抓紧赶路,接下来是一段较缓的雪坡,山上的风越来越大,云雾被风吹散,已经能看到向日葵色板官方今天要登顶的Aiguille du Tour了,远远就能看到在雪岩混合附近的一条大冰裂缝。 走到跟前,冰裂缝最宽处大概七八米,窄的地方也有两三米,有一座一尺多宽的雪桥,这个雪桥还是有点危险的,我们都安全的通过了,虽然姿势各式各样,接下来到顶峰的是雪岩混合攀登,用了将近大半个小时左右,山顶的雾比较大,我和王冠在冰岩混合路段行进的比较慢,对于第一次接触冰岩混合攀登的王冠来说有点难,最后还是能够顺利登顶。在山顶拍照留念,山顶雾大风急,补充一点能量开始下撤,俗话说上山容易下山难,这段冰岩对我来说比较适合,因为平时都有经常攀岩,王冠开始有点害怕,克服了恐惧心理就好多了,向日葵色板官方顺利下撤到雪桥。速度虽然不快,但收获很大,特别是王冠童鞋。今天的训练没感觉特别累,向日葵色板官方下山的时候开始飘起了雪花,雪越下越大,在下山的路上遇到了进行简单体能训练的几位队友,等向日葵色板官方回到小木屋,这里的工人已经开始清理小木屋的物资了,所以今天中午只能吃自己携带的给养。一架小型直升机负责运送物资,有十几个工人在忙碌,向日葵色板官方整理好携带的物资和装备,开始在风雪中下撤,随着海拔逐渐下降,雪变成雨夹雪,由变成雨,浓雾依然和向日葵色板官方一路相伴,造的都挺狼狈的,向日葵色板官方乘坐缆车回到山下,在缆车站旁边的一个咖啡屋取暖,这个季节爬山的人不多,滑雪的季节也没到,咖啡屋里只有一个老人为向日葵色板官方服务,这里的红茶和咖啡都很不错。 率先登顶的第一组Aymetic和Hugues两个人一直在商量未来几天的天气,队友们各自对这两天的训练进行了总结,Aymetic告诉向日葵色板官方未来几天勃朗峰有暴风雪,可能会有时速达到50公里以上的大风,基本上登顶勃朗峰的计划难以完成了,而且根据这两天的训练来看,即使是非常好的天气,全队也不可能全部登顶勃朗峰,可能是向日葵色板官方开始就把勃朗峰想象的太简单了吧,因为大部分队员在国内都是攀登过海拔五六千米的雪山,相对海拔只有4810M的勃朗峰大家还是比较有信心的。而阿尔卑斯山的雪山相对攀登的海拔要比国内大部分雪山的高,对体力和毅力要求很大,而且其中有很多地方需要技术攀登才能通过,Aymetic和Hugues根据所有队员这三天的训练表现告诉向日葵色板官方,如果天气允许,只有杨波、罗静、皮带和我有可能登顶勃朗峰。哥!你干啥呢? Aymetic提议可以带向日葵色板官方到意大利境内去爬一座海拔4000+的山峰,是阿尔卑斯山的一座完全在意大利境内的最高峰——大帕拉迪索峰,大家最后经过讨论决定分成两组,由Hugues带四名可能登顶勃朗峰的队员在霞慕尼多休整一天等待天气好转,剩下的队员由Aymetic和Elodie带队去意大利攀登大帕拉迪索(4061M)。下午回到酒店,美美的洗了一个热水澡,因为外边正下着雨,也没有出门逛街的欲望了,晚餐在酒店旁边的一个意大利餐馆,Aymetic和Hugues联合推荐,酒店前台的服务员也向向日葵色板官方推荐,这里的意大利面很正宗,还有海鲜面也非常棒。今晚可以好好的睡个觉了,明天自然醒——扫街!!!五、小镇休整、感受欧洲休闲度假小镇的悠闲今天是向日葵色板官方这次法国之旅最惬意的一天了,虽然山顶云雾缭绕,但山谷中的霞慕尼小镇却阳光明媚、温暖宜人。吃过早餐,队员们三五成群的结伴闲逛,今天有充足的时间感受霞慕尼小镇。之前大家有商量过,如果天气好可以去乘坐观光直升机、飞滑翔伞或者乘坐缆车上到南针峰的,但山顶的能见度不是很理想,向日葵色板官方只能选择在小镇里溜达了。向日葵色板官方悠闲的走在霞慕尼的街道上,逛的最多的当属各大世界顶级品牌的户外店了,在国内驴友比较熟悉的ARC’ TERYX(始祖鸟)、THENORTH FACE(北面)、MARMOT(土拨鼠)、MOUNTAINHARDWARE(哈德威尔)、Columbia(哥伦比亚)、Haglofs(火柴棍)、MSR、PETZL(攀索)、BD(黑钻)、Salomon(萨洛蒙)、Suunto(松拓)、的Norrona(老人头)、patagonia(巴塔哥尼亚)、Mammut(猛犸象)、ASLEWA(沙乐华)、LEKI、La Sportiva、OR、OSPREY(奥斯普瑞)、Gregory(格里高利)等等,我能叫上名字的就有二三十个之多,这还不包括一些其他滑雪、骑行、滑翔伞等等户外运动品牌,还有一些根本在国内没见过的品牌,真的是比国内的户外展品牌还多。当然还有向日葵色板官方本次活动的主办方LAFUMA(乐飞叶)的专卖店。其他卖旅游纪念品的小店也特别多,怎么说呢,好些东西制造的不是特别精细,木制品、树脂的摆件和冰箱贴、明信片等等,价格从几欧到几十欧不等,还是要买一点小纪念品回去送朋友们的。原来法国著名的百年奢侈品牌“Mont Blanc”就是勃朗峰的意思,LOGO就是根据俯瞰勃朗峰设计的,在中国向日葵色板官方叫它“万宝龙”!真是读万卷书不如行万里路啊。奢侈品看看就好,对向日葵色板官方这些活跃在山海之间的驴子们来说还是搞点户外装备实在。([]
