绵羊国之旅回忆录 - 睡城篇

俗语说希望越大,失望就越大。这话真的没有用错在这天的行程。本满怀喜悦的心情等待这一天的来临,早上七点钟已经在YHA等待shutle接送我们到火车站。说明时间7:15am,但等了20分钟还没有到。不是说洋人很准时吗?原来洋人也会迟到!哈哈!终于shuttle bus 来了。小得有够可怜。位子也刚刚好,车内很闷热。幸好我每次出门都会带袖珍风扇,否则真的会发生人因灼热而死在巴士事件。

匆匆忙忙的领火车票然后把行李送到行李车厢。继续的向前找我们该坐的包厢和位子。火车开动了,好期待。。。开始时还可以,但过了一个小时就开始厌倦了。几乎每一个景色都一样。不是山就是绵羊。天色也从晴天转到阴天。到中途,因为讯息的故障,导致火车必须停留某几个小镇20分钟。前后延迟了有一个小时。当火车到达Arthur Pass时,车长允许我们下车拍照。忽然下起了冰雹!哗!好久没有被冰雹打到。那种感觉真的是又痛又爽!回到火车上,又是山。。。增加了我的睡意。

是时间医五脏庙了。每位乘客都到火车内的餐厅打包食物,而我们却是将昨晚买的muffin还有飞机上提供的giant cookies拿来当午餐。饮料?当然是清水一瓶,而且还是自备的。不过我要在此赞扬纽西兰的muffin,真的很好吃。就算过了一夜;冷了,还是很松软,润湿。:P

过了5个半小时,终于到达了Greymouth。真的是一个小镇。除了2个大型的超市和麦当劳,其他的都是小型的店铺。不过还不至于死城一个。只能称呼它为睡城。和其他的城市一样,5点就关门了。

火车的路途很遥远。加上穿梭两岸的时间,真的很累人。

下一篇将会带大家游览死城!:S
