New Zealand's beautiful environment is definitely ranked among the best in the world. In places like Lake Tekapo, there is almost no pollution. The lake water is actually clear turquoise. When there is no wind or waves, the lake surface is like a piece of pure emerald.
Lao Wang was quite surprised by this. His Twin Lakes were also very clean, but the water was light blue, completely different from Lake Tekapo.
Charlie explained to him that the reason for the formation of Lake Tekapo is different from that of Twin Lakes. The latter is caused by rising groundwater, while Lake Tekapo is formed by ice water after melting glaciers. The water contains less copper ions, so it is green. .
They booked a hot spring hotel online called Aoraki Village. After arriving at Mount Cook Village, they found the hotel and checked in. They parked the car, packed their things, and were ready to soak in the hot springs.
After entering the hotel, Lao Wang learned that Aoraki is Maori, meaning 'clouds in the sky', and Mount Aoraki is Mount Cook, both of which refer to a mountain peak.
The owner of the hotel is a Maori. He said proudly: "Gentlemen, this hotel is an industry passed down by our family from generation to generation. The reason why this village is called Mount Cook is because of our Aoraki Village. We just stayed here." At that time, no tourists knew about this place.”
The cowboy curled his lips and whispered, "Bragging."
Wang Bo glared at this guy. He is really a bitch. If others brag, just brag. We just need to cooperate and listen. Why are you so serious? Is this going to be a fight
Aoraki Lodge is a medium-sized hotel with about a hundred rooms in total. During the off-season, the hotel is not full. However, in winter, more people come to the hot springs, so business is not bad.
When Lao Wang and others were going out, a couple who looked like a couple came to them and asked if they wanted to go to Mount Cook National Park together. They didn't have a car, but they could pay for gas.
The village is not far from Mount Cook National Park. The park is very famous, with glaciers accounting for 40% of the area and 19 peaks above 3,000 meters above sea level. On one side of the mountain is the world's second longest glacier, called the Tasman Glacier. It is 30 kilometers long, second only to the Himalayas in length.
It's just that Lao Wang is not very interested. The entire Sunset Town is a complete original ecological garden. He has seen enough for the whole day.
Seeing that they were not interested, the young couple left regretfully. Lao Wang and his party took advantage of the night before taking advantage of the accompanying young men to go to the lakeside to soak in the hot springs.
The temperature of the snow mountain hot springs exceeds 30 degrees, and the hottest one can reach 45 degrees. Wang Bo couldn't stand it after trying it, so he went to find a spring with a lower temperature.
The cowboy also tried the high-temperature hot spring, and then stayed with a smile. While Lao Wang and Charlie were horrified, he sat comfortably in the water and moaned comfortably: "Oh, Snow, it feels so good!"
Lao Wang grinned: "Snow, be careful not to turn into stewed chicken."
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of bubbles suddenly appeared in the high temperature pool.
The handsome Mexican boy was startled and shouted: "Xue Te, is the water boiling? Come up!"
The cowboy scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "No, I farted."
"The scale of this fart is really big. I'm holding a kitchen knife in my hand to cut the wires, and there are sparks and lightning all the way, isn't it?"
Lao Wang found a pool with a suitable temperature and got into it. The strong man jumped in and stayed by his side, with the look of a good boy on his dog's face.
It likes to play in water, and Mastiffs are good swimmers. Unfortunately, the hot spring pool is too small for it to show off its skills.
With his back against a smooth stone, Wang Bo only exposed his head above the water. He sighed and said, "Madame, it's really nice to soak in the hot springs in winter, but my face is a bit cold."
The handsome Mexican guy said, "Boss, I've seen it. There is an indoor hot spring."
Lao Wang shook his head and pointed forward: "What's the point of being indoors? Look, in front of us is Lake Tekapo, how beautiful it is? Looking back, isn't the snow-capped top of Mount Cook beautiful? What is this called? This is called enjoying life!”
They also ordered a hot spring package, and a white waiter brought a small stove with a pot on it, in which meat, fish, and vegetables were stewed together. It was messier than the Northeast stew.
In addition to food, there is also drink, liquor and hot coffee are available, and the service is very good.
The waiter put down the things and gave Lao Wang a slip to sign. He checked that there was nothing wrong and signed his name.
Charlie gave Lao Wang a small bottle with white wine in it. They sipped the white wine and ate the meat, eating and drinking while looking at the beautiful scenery. They felt very happy.
Lao Wang was very interested in poetry. He held up the wine bottle and said, "If heaven didn't love wine, the wine star would not be in the sky. If the earth didn't love wine, there would be no wine fountain."
Both heaven and earth love wine, and if you love wine, you are worthy of heaven! Bells, drums, delicacies and jade are not expensive, but I hope I will never wake up after being drunk for a long time! "
The handsome Mexican boy put down his bottle and applauded: "Boss, that's well said!"
Charlie said disdainfully: "Isn't this a poem? Wang, can you just look at the scenery? Are you always showing off your high cultural level?"
Lao Wang smiled proudly and said: "I'm sorry, Wen Si is in diuresis, who can compete with me? This inspiration has come, and there is no way to stop it!"
Charlie ignored him and drank some wine and ate meat, looking like he was having a lot of fun.
The days in winter are very short. It was evening when they took a bath in the hot springs. Not long after they took a bath, the sun set and the moon rose, and the cold night arrived.
There was nothing wrong with soaking in the hot spring. Only the skin was exposed. Drinking alcohol and soaking in the hot spring resulted in faster blood circulation and faster heat production. Lao Wang didn't feel much cold.
But when he got up after soaking, he was shivering from the cold. The strong man was also shivering, but it was not from the cold, but was shaking its fur to shake off the water.
Seeing that Lao Wang was trembling as much as he was, the strong man thought that he was imitating himself, so he trembled even more vigorously and drenched Lao Wang with ice water.
"Paralysis, freezing to death!" Lao Wang put on his yukata. He was busy drying the young man's fur first, and then it was his turn to get dressed.
The Mastiff is anti-freeze, but Lao Wang is still worried about it catching a cold. Dogs are not as cold as humans because their skin cannot dissipate heat, and their colds can easily cause serious symptoms.
After soaking in hot springs, drinking wine and eating meat, Lao Wang returned to the room and fell asleep with the young man in his arms.
It was not easy to go out. The next morning, when the sun came out and the temperature increased, he went to the hot springs again. He also had lunch next to the hot spring pool, stewed with white wine.
After lunch, they checked out and were about to leave. As soon as they went out, the white waiter who served them food and drinks suddenly appeared and stopped them. He smiled and said, "Sir, please pay the bill."
Lao Wang had a bad feeling in his heart, and the Mexican handsome boy took out his mobile phone and said: "The package we ordered online has already been paid."
The young man smiled and said: "Yes, but the bill for the pot roast and wine you had last night and today's lunch has not been paid. This is not included in the package. If you have any objections, I can show you the signed bill. This gentleman is on it. You signed it, didn’t you?”
