Only Yunluo ate slowly. An Qingjue had a little fever and couldn't eat after a few. It was too tiring that day, so he went to bed early. He was still praying that the next day would be sunny.

Due to the bad weather the day before, An Qingju and Yunluo did not see the most beautiful Twelve Apostles. An Qingju and Yunluo decided to revisit the old place today and walk the Great Ocean Road again, and at the same time, make up for the koalas and lighthouse that An Qingju and Yunluo did not see.

In the morning, I opened the curtains and saw a bright sky. I was in a great mood. I packed my luggage and drove off quickly. The Twelve Apostles are really different in the sunshine. It feels good when the sun is shining.

Next to the parking lot of the Twelve Apostles is the helicopter landing pad. According to the guide, there are many Chinese tour groups at the Twelve Apostles Rock. Generally, the bus will take you directly to the ticket office for the helicopter, not to the observation deck (which is free). Self-guided tour guides can ask the tour guide to put you in the tour group and buy tickets together.

The cheapest helicopter ticket for the 12 disciples was $95 per person, and group purchase was $75 per person, saving $20 immediately. Because it was a holiday, there were fewer domestic tourists, and An Qingju and Yunluo had not found a team that could buy in a group, so they did not enjoy the discount.

There are two types of helicopters, the red one for 4 people and the larger red one for 8 people. Photography enthusiasts should choose a small helicopter for a better view. The best position for four people is the left side of the front row (the pilot is on the right), the second is the left side of the back row, and the worst is the right side of the back row.

The biggest enemy when taking photos in the cabin is the glare from the cabin glass, so it is recommended to wear dark clothes to minimize the glare.

Because there were fewer tourists that day, and the group of people who arrived before An Qingju and Yunluo happened to take an eight-seater plane, An Qingju and Yunluo were left alone. At this time, the pilot arranged for An Qingju and Yunluo to take his plane. In other words, there were only An Qingju and Yunluo as passengers, and this was An Qingju and Yunluo's private plane.

That feeling was simply too VIP. As soon as they boarded the plane, the pilot began to introduce the scenery of the Twelve Apostles. An Qingju and Yun Luo didn't have time to listen, as a series of shutter sounds rang out.

Fighting seagulls with wet shoes, the shoes were soaked by the waves. This also started its tragic career. From that day on, the wet shoes never dried again. It traveled tens of thousands of kilometers with An Qingju and Yunluo, and it was only dry five days after arriving in New Zealand. There will be a description later, so please read on.

Then, An Qingjue and Yunluo left the Twelve Disciples where they had stayed for two days. How much do An Qingjue and Yunluo love the Twelve Disciples? Continue along the location of the waylighthouse.

This is the oldest existing lighthouse on the Australian continent. The light on the lighthouse has been shining since 1848. For countless European immigrants who came by ship, this was the first light they saw after leaving Europe. There is an entrance fee to visit this lighthouse. The ticket price is $17.5 per person.

An Qingjue and Yunluo drove the car to the return location at nearly 7pm. An Qingjue remembered the wrong time and remembered 7pm as 9pm. The place where the car was returned had already closed. An Qingjue's phone could not make calls to local mobile phones. When An Qingjue didn't know how to return the car, he met a local Melbourne man.

An Qingjue described her experience in her broken English. She quickly used her mobile phone to call the car rental company and informed them of the whole story. The person on the other end of the phone replied that An Qingjue and Yunluo could drive the car to Avalon Airport, where there was a parking lot.

An Qingjue and Yunluo only needed to leave the car keys at the airport counter. The big problem was solved, and An Qingjue and Yunluo thanked them repeatedly. Because time was urgent, An Qingjue and Yunluo had to rush to the airport. In the end, they didn't even leave any contact information for the kind-hearted person, which became a regret for An Qingjue and Yunluo on this trip. Anyway, thank you Melbourne!

After arriving at the airport, we returned the car and checked in without stopping. At the airport. Because the luggage was overweight, I didn't buy enough luggage when I bought the ticket on Jetstar Airlines. I was told that I needed to pay the difference of $150 for the excess luggage. I was stunned when I heard the number at that time. It was a sky-high price. Later, An Qingju and Yunluo found a supervisor.

I explained to her the itinerary of An Qingjue and Yunluo, and told her that the clothes were all winter clothes, etc. Finally, I succeeded in bargaining and only had to pay $75. After completing all this, An Qingjue and Yunluo finally boarded the plane to Brisbane. Melbourne, are you so unwilling to let An Qingjue and Yunluo go?

Tips: When taking a low-cost airline, you must estimate the weight of your luggage, otherwise the price of buying luggage at the airport will be astronomical.

The next morning, An Qingjue and Yunluo left their luggage (the luggage storage in this youth hostel is free, and anyone can get the key to the luggage storage hut, but Australia is a society that values ​​honesty, and luggage generally does not get lost), and then went straight to Roma Street Railway Station (). After arriving at the station, they bought two bus tickets and arrived in an hour and a half. After arriving at the bus terminal, there was a reception point for YHA at the station. Call them and they will send a car to check in within 10 minutes, which is very convenient. The youth hostel that An Qingjue and Yunluo stayed in on the Gold Coast was ion). The Gold Coast is located on the eastern coast of Australia, 78 kilometers south of Brisbane, and can be reached in an hour and a half by car.

Each hotel has a unique front desk setting with many variations.

After checking in successfully, An Qingjue and Yunluo traveled lightly with their cameras on the streets of the Gold Coast. The hotel where An Qingjue and Yunluo stayed was right at a pier on the Gold Coast, where many yachts were moored. It was no exaggeration to describe the scene here as luxurious. An Qingjue and Yunluo strolled around and took photos everywhere.

Looking at these private yachts, my heart was drooling. Since An Qingjue and Yunluo arrived in Brisbane at 3 pm, they spent the afternoon here. They bought some noodles, bread and milk and had dinner early.

They originally wanted to take a good stroll along the Gold Coast, but they didn't expect that the beautiful sunset scenery in the harbor would really shock An Qingjue and Yun Luo.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, An Qingjue and Yunluo were still strolling on the beach. The dark coast was quite scary, so they returned to their room after strolling for a while. What shocked An Qingjue and Yunluo the most was that at the junction of any beach and road, there was a water system for washing feet and showering. It was convenient to wash off the sand and seawater on the body, and the water was actually very humane, hot water.

That morning, An Qingju and Yunluo got up at four o'clock to watch the sunrise over the sea. During this period of time, they were fighting the sea breeze, which hit them hard and was particularly cold.

As soon as we arrived at the beach, we saw a red glow in the distance, due to the thick clouds. After the sun rose, we could see the red glow. At this time, there were already people doing morning exercises and walking on the beach. An Qingju and Yunluo sighed: This is life!

After watching the sunrise and having breakfast, An Qingju and Yunluo prepared to return to Brisbane, because they had to take a flight to Sydney in the evening. They quickly strolled around the city of Brisbane and bought some food at the supermarket to fill their stomachs. Then they picked up their luggage and rushed to the airport. Luggage check-in and security check. Waiting for the plane to take off. Brisbane, a quick two-day trip, see you again if there is a chance!

That night, after arriving in Sydney, we took the subway (the price of $16 per person was really not cheap) to the Central Railway Station. After exiting the station, we arrived at Sydney Railway Square YHA where An Qingju and Yunluo were staying.

Sydney is a very familiar city to Chinese people, with many landmark buildings, such as the Sydney Opera House (e), etc. There are also many guides for you, so I will not go into details.

I met up with a friend in Sydney, and then took a one-day tour of Sydney in a car driven by a friend. In the evening, An Qingjue and Yunluo came to Sydney's Chinatown, found a seafood restaurant, ordered a big lobster, and finally indulged themselves. Other people had several plates on their tables, but An Qingjue and Yunluo only had two plates on their tables.

There were two dishes on the table, but An Qingjue and Yunluo didn't finish them. It was not until the next day at Sydney airport that An Qingjue and Yunluo finished eating the prawns and shrimps they had packed.

Many friends ate lobsters at the seafood market, but because An Qingjue and Yunluo couldn't make it, they gave up this plan. I beg you to provide some tips on eating seafood at Sydney's seafood market. I didn't take many photos in Sydney, so here are some photos of eating lobsters.

Facing the bright sun, An Qingju and Yunluo's first day in New Zealand began. Since they arrived at the accommodation very late the night before, they did not have time to appreciate the scenery. This is a B&B, each house is very exquisite, and the key is that there is a large yard with flowers and plants. Yunluo fell in love with this place at once.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Through the hotel front desk, Yunluo and An Qingjue booked a taxi and rushed to the car rental place near Christchurch Airport. Because it was a holiday, many large car rental companies had no cars to rent, and the prices were extremely high. Yunluo and An Qingjue could only rent an old Toyota RV. Routine formalities, vehicle inspection, and delivery, everything went smoothly.

After picking up the car, we had a Chinese meal with old friends in Christchurch's Chinatown. An Qingju and Yunluo, who hadn't eaten Chinese food for a long time, ate all the food in one go. In the Chinatown supermarket, we bought water, bread, Lao Gan Ma, dace with black beans, and mustard tuber, and other daily necessities. Yunluo and An Qingju began their first day of RV self-driving trip in New Zealand.

Holiday parks, also known as holiday camping areas, can be found everywhere in Australia and New Zealand, and can meet the accommodation needs of tourists of all levels at a relatively low cost.

Holiday parks are mostly located around scenic areas, such as the seaside or lakeside, and can provide visitors with tent, campervan and camper trailer sites (with water and electricity). Many holiday parks also provide simple wooden cabins, well-equipped motel suites and backpackers hostels.

Holiday parks generally provide shared kitchens, toilets, showers and laundry facilities, but most holiday parks require you to bring your own blankets and kitchenware. If you don't have them, you need to rent them from the front desk. I personally think it is more suitable for tourists driving RVs.

Small marine organisms and sand were alternately layered and buried on the seafloor, creating multiple layers of rock made up of hard limestone and soft sandstone. At high tide, you can see water gushing out of the holes, at least 20-30 meters high, making a shocking roar. )

The continuous rain flooded the floating bridge.

On the way to Forks, you will first see three lakes, Lake Mahinapua (you need to turn a little into the road), Lake Ianthe and Lake Mapourika. Starting from Lake Ianthe, drive 69 kilometers to Lake Mapourika.

It is the largest lake on the west coast of New Zealand. As they approached the Joseph Glacier, the rain was getting heavier. Yunluo and An Qingju rushed to the town and checked into the motor camp.

Tips: Josef Glacier and Fox Glacier are both glaciers. There is not much difference between them. Franzjosef is slightly larger, with more accommodation options, more restaurants at night, and hot springs. Foxglacier is less crowded and has Mirror Lake (Lake Mathewson) to see. I personally recommend staying in Franz and Fox, which are only 23 kilometers apart.

Both glaciers offer helicopter glacier viewing (including glacier landing) or glacier hiking, which requires clear weather and no wind. (To be continued...)
