GBS Road Trip New Zealand - 07 | Day 04 : Aoraki/Mount Cook Village

Bangkit hari ke 4 di NZ. 

Masih lagi di Aoraki/Mount Cook. 

Semalam masing masing tidur nyenyak dek kerana kepenatan trekking di Lembah Pelacuran. Aku lagi lah. Dengan tak ready nya, tetiba je orang paksa trekking. Sudahnya tidur terbongkang hanyut di buai mimpi yang lena. 

Nasib tak mengigau sebut...

"Pelacur ! Kau pelacur ! Jangan goda aku......................."

Kalau tak mau IH dengan BW ketuk dengan tudung periuk. Satu hal lak Beyonce tercedera dan tak boleh melakukan tugas tugas beliau dengan baik.

Pagi pagi bangun tengok view kat luar nampak puncak Mt Cook !

Wah ! Berdiri megah diri mu di situ ! Semalam punya lah malu malu.

Mt Cook merupakan puncak gunung tertinggi di NZ ni.

Berdiri setinggi 3,724 meter (12,218 feet) berkurangan daripada ketinggian asal 3,764 m (12,349 ft) before December 1991disebabkan oleh runtuhan dan hakisan. 

Mt Cook terletak di Southern Alps di South Island dan menjadi lokasi tumpuan popular bagi yang inginkan cabaran pendakian gunung.

Hooker Valley tempat kami trekking semalam. Hari ni cuaca memang menawan. Smalam gunung dan lurah tu langsung tak nampak.

Aoraki / Mount Cook, often refereed to as Mount Cook Village, is located within New Zealand's Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park at the end of State Highway 80, only 15 kilometres (9.3 mil) south of the summit of the country's highest mountain, also called Aoraki / Mount Cook.

Being situated inside a National Park, it is not possible to own property in Mount Cook Village, however, because of the year-round operation of the hotel and motels, the village has a small permanent population of around 250. 

All buildings and facilities operate on concessions and leases from the government. The village has no grocery stores apart from a small in-hotel convenience store. The nearest supermarket is 65 kilometres (40 mi) away in Twizel, the closest town. There is a self-service petrol pump behind the hotel complex, however the fuel price reflects the remote location.

Mount Cook Village operates a small school with a roll as low as a dozen children, the only school in New Zealand inside a national park

Layan kawasan sekitar Mount Cook Village.

Aoraki Mount Cook Alpine Lodge. Penginapan kami selama 1 malam.

Bilik dia agak cozy jugak. Kiranya puas hati jugak lah walaupun harga agak mahal (RM 515 per nite untuk 3 orang ).

Lokasi memang superb dengan pemandangan yang sememangnya cantik.

Selepas berkemas pagi tu kami bersiap sedia untuk check out.

Destinasi selepas ni agak jauh jadi kami kena bergerak awal. Belum campur waktu nak berhenti di perjalanan dan singgah menyinggah lagi.

Jadi, jangan buang masa.

Ayuh segera !

Pengalaman bersama dan keindahan mu kami simpan dalam kenangan.......................  takkan pernah terlupakan !

* heret Kak Yah ke depan stage untuk start nyanyi

I won't

See your smile

And I won't hear you laugh anymore

Every night

I won't see you walk through that door

'Cause time wasn't on your side

It isn't right

I can't say I love you

It's too late to tell you

But I really need you to know

No, I'll never forget you

I'll never let you out of my heart

You will always be here with me

I'll hold on to the memories baby

Baby can you hear me

Wherever you may be tonight

Are you near me

I need you to be by my side

'Cause I never said goodbye

It isn't right

I should have said I love you

Why didn't I just tell you

God knows I need you to know

No, I'll never forget you

I'll never let you out of my heart

You will always be here with me

I'll hold on to the memories baby

Somewhere

I know you'll be with me

Someday

In another time

But right now you're gone

You've just vanished away

But I'll never leave yo behind

No, I'll never forget you

I'll never let you out of my heart

You will always be here with me

I'll hold on to the memories baby

Perjalanan di teruskan. Tapi sebab cuaca hari ni sangat baik. Kami singgah beberapa kali untuk sesi ambik gambar berlatar belakangkan Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park.

Dari Aoraki/Mt Cook kami berpatah balik ke arah Lake Pukaki semalam.

Sekali lagi kami akan melintasi Lake Pukaki hari ni dalam perjalanan menuju ke Twizel.

Dalam perjalanan dengan Lake Pukaki di hadapan

Cuaca cerah boleh naik heli tengok kawasan Mt Cook

Flight pun boleh.

Perjalanan tak jauh mana sampai ke Twizel

Kami merancang untuk singgah di sini bagi mencari kudapan dan beli jajan

Cari cari kedai

Tapi tak jumpa

Berlegar legar berkeliaran

Hooker lagi? Ah.. trauma dah dengan perkataan tu !

Masa kat Twizel ni, aku dok baca baca itinerary sambil uruskan Barbara yang sungguh tak user friendly. Key dia pulak tu slow gila kalau nak delete tulisan tu macam makan berzaman. 

Stress aku di buatnya dengan Barbara ni !

Pastu dah program destinasi seterusnya, tiba tiba IH bersuara.

"Eh... kita macam salah tempat je ni !"

"Apa?"

Tiba tiba aku naik hantu lak.

"Barbara................. You are grounded!!!"

* panaskan seterika nak tekap kat badan Barbara sebagai tanda awal penderaan
