Chapter 1028 1013. My God (45)
In early May, the weather in New Zealand is getting colder and winter is officially here.
Although in terms of solar terms, this country has already entered winter, in fact, the real winter has just arrived. Snow, cold current and cold wind will gradually visit this country more frequently from May.
In the morning, Nina and Rich drove from Queenstown and drove along Highway 8.
The two are from Arizona, USA, a desert land where there seems to be only one season and it is hot and hot all year round.
When Nina and Richie first fell in love, their relationship was the same. They were so hot that they seemed unable to separate for a while. After separation, one of them would take the initiative to find the other, and then they continued to be together.
After marriage, the relationship finally changed.
In fact, they have not been married for a long time, only a year, but the newlyweds feel that it has been ten years, and without the support of the freshness of their love, the passion between them has turned into restlessness.
Nina is a photographer who once interned at National Geographic magazine and has an unusual passion for travel and photography.
Rich is different. He is an editor of a newspaper and prefers a quiet life. Only a quiet environment can allow him to organize words into beautiful words.
In many ways, these two people are different, but before marriage they thought it was complementary, it was a match made in heaven. After they got married, the two who lacked a common language began to have friction.
Nina has a dream, which is to travel around the world, so she worked very hard before and was usually very frugal, in order to save money to support her dream.
Rich has no such idea. His dream is to build a comfortable cabin on the edge of the snowy forest in Alaska, and then stay in that quiet place, read books quietly, write quietly, enjoy the aurora quietly in winter, and watch quietly in summer. sunrise.
Finally, one day, the two began to attack each other's dreams. Americans value dreams more than privacy. Master Xing said, "What's the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?", which is the most suitable gift for them.
After the fierce attack, the relationship broke down further, and the two of them desperately understood that they could no longer walk together.
At Easter, Nina tried hard to revive her relationship, but unfortunately she didn't succeed.
So, the two put divorce on the agenda.
They still love each other, but love is not the whole of life.
In April, the two hired a lawyer to prepare for the divorce. Rich's divorce lawyer was a good man. He made Rich decide to take his wife to fulfill one of her wishes before signing the divorce agreement.
Rich is a responsible man, he thinks this is a good idea, and he owes Nina a little in this regard, since they got married last year, they still haven't gone abroad for their honeymoon.
At that time, they agreed to go to Antarctica to see the penguins, but Rich's magazine had an important report temporarily, and he was very busy at that time, so Nina thoughtfully did not mention this matter again.
Going to Antarctica in April is not a good choice. The southern hemisphere is very cold in this season, and Antarctica is full of ice storms.
After choosing, they decided to come to New Zealand and take a trip to this isolated island of Taoyuan for their breakup trip.
They chose Queenstown as their first stop. After all, it was recommended by all travel magazines. If you haven’t been to Queenstown, you haven’t been to New Zealand. This slogan often appears in travel articles.
But maybe they came in the wrong season. In April, Queenstown had no golden sycamore trees, nor a gentle lake surrounded by mountains, but only wet and cold weather.
After driving for an unknown amount of time, Ricky couldn't help complaining: "When I made this decision, I definitely didn't go through my brain. I chose to go to New Zealand in April. Ha, it's really interesting."
Nina lit a cigarette and said indifferently: "Can you stop complaining? The scenery here is beautiful, but your complaints have overshadowed everything."
Richie opened the window, and the cold, clammy wind blew in. "What am I complaining about? Am I wrong? Look at the damn weather! Look at the temperature, I'm going crazy!"
Nina said: "It's better to turn around and go to the airport, you go back to Phoenix, I would rather take a lonely trip alone."
"What do you mean?" Rich said angrily, "We are husband and wife, honey, now we are still husband and wife, can we understand each other? It's not that I don't like New Zealand, I just don't like traveling!"
Nina showed an expression of 'I'm too lazy to talk to you', and silently breathed out the smoke.
This was the most unbearable thing for Richie. He felt that he could speak out about any problems he had, and that everyone could communicate and solve them. But Nina didn't do that. Richie believed that his complaints were forced out by her silence.
The car accelerated and galloped along Highway No. 8, and when it was close to noon, the roadside scenery changed suddenly. Even though the cold wind was howling, flowers still appeared on both sides of the road.
"On the Birth Flower Road, Sunset Town is here. My colleague said this is the garden of South Island." Nina subconsciously said after seeing these blooming flowers.
However, many flowers withered in winter, and the Birth Flower Road was not as shocking as the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn. Although Rich thought it was not bad, it was not very touching.
Lunch was a surprise for them. They found a restaurant to eat at random, and the delicious barbecue whetted their appetites.
"This should not be called the garden of the South Island, but the restaurant of the South Island." Rich laughed.
Nina didn't answer, but just lowered her head and searched for local travel information on her mobile phone.
This made Rich very bored and very angry. He said angrily, "Do you still use the Internet to search? Go and see the paid attractions here. The most beautiful attractions must be those paid."
"Ha." Nina smiled disdainfully, but remained silent.
Rich was completely irritated. After the meal, he asked the boss about the bill. The boss frowned and said, "Are there paid attractions? Well, there are not many of them. Why don't you go to the Glowworm Cave, where there is a fee."
Two hundred yuan and two tickets were handed over, and the two stood outside the gate of the firefly cave.
This attraction is extremely deserted, there is no publicity, and there is no experiential promotion arrangement, so no one knows that there is a new attraction here.
"Two hundred dollars, it's such a waste..." Rich shrugged and began to complain habitually. Nina didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked in directly.
Rich handed over his mobile phone and camera, and then walked in, then opened the curtain and walked into the dark field of view of the cavern, and several blue lights appeared.
"This kind of firefly is quite beautiful." Ricky muttered subconsciously, and then heard an exclamation from the front: "Oh, my God!"
He recognized that it was his wife's voice, and worried about what might happen, he hurried over.
Although there was a luminous agent pointer in the cave, he didn't notice it. He bumped into the wall when he turned a corner, and then he subconsciously turned around and shuddered suddenly: "My God, I must have knocked my head out!"
