沒想到
只是聊個小天
就有個法國友人熱情地邀請我到巴黎時去找她玩
(雖然她住紅磨坊附近)
她是史黛芬妮，正在進行環球旅行
在紐西蘭僅停留北島
之後便會出發到阿根廷當志工
再繼續後來的行程。
哇～好好喔，環遊世界…(羨慕ing)
(萬歲！去巴黎時就有導遊囉~)
【13th of Jan, Walk in the Middle Earth Part.5】Someone from Paris.
I never thought it's just a small chatting, then I got a friend from Paris?!
She even invited me if I went to Paris I had to visit her!!
(Although she lived nearby the Moulin Rouge~)
She was Stephine, she was on her trip around the world,
she only stayed the North Island when she was in NZ,
then she would go to Argentina to be a volunteer, and move on her trip...
Huh~~~~it's sooooo good, I do envy her....
But I would have a guide when I visit Paris!!

雲，動得好慢
風，吹得好柔
時間，幾乎要停擺
是不是這才叫“慢活”？
吃完當晚餐的Subway
將近晚間７點
但陽光卻如同下午３點多般的斜射下來
在紐西蘭
我從上天那兒，多偷了二個小時的時光～
【13th of Jan, Walk in the Middle Earth Part.4】So Slow.
The cloud moved so slowly,
the wind blew so softly,
and the time almost stopped passing,
is that the meaning "Living Slow"?
When I finish my Subway dinner, it's almost 7 o'clock PM,
however, it's so bright just like 4 o'clock PM,
in NZ, I stole two more hours from God~

陶波，也是GP賽車的競賽地ㄟ~
寬闊的街道
整齊的白線
一直延伸下去，沒有終點似的
好酷！
想像那時的盛況
環湖車道一輛輛賽車呼嘯而過
映著炫目的陽光
哇～超有fu的~~~~
【13th of Jan, Walk in the Middle Earth Part.3】A1 GP Racing.
There was also a racing place of A1 GP in Taupo,
wide street and the straight line was no limited, so cool~
I tried to imagine if I were there,
every racing car passed through swiftly one by one,
the sun was shining...
wow, I wish I were there~~~

陶波湖
像大海一樣的藍
像大海一樣的廣
卻比大海友善多了～
無論你要玩風帆、拖曳傘、搭船
甚至沿著湖邊散步，都ＯＫ啦！
也可以坐在露天咖啡座or草地野餐
享受陽光微風的吹拂
【13th of Jan, Walk in the Middle Earth Part.2】This Lake Was Similar To the Ocean.
Taupo Lake, it's blue like the ocean,
it's wide like the ocean,
however, it's more friendly than the ocean.
You could play any water activities you wanted,
even you could just walk around the lake!
Or you could sit outdoor to have a cup of coffee,
maybe have a picnic on the grass,
enjoy the sunshine, the breeze, and your time～

是怎樣？
在紐西蘭人人夏天的必備物是－－夾腳拖？！
不管男女老少，人腳一雙
呵~不是運動涼鞋
也不是高跟涼鞋
而是夾腳拖喔~~~ :D
應該把台灣的藍白拖也給它拿來賣
銷路一定不錯
畢竟誰不愛藍天白雲的顏色呢？^++++^
【13th of Jan, Walk in the Middle Earth】Oh! Sandals!
What happen?
In New Zealand, there was one thing people who have to wear it in summertime －－ "SANDALS"!!
No matter boys or girls, children or adults, each got one,
neither sports style nor feminine style,
it's just an usual style!
I suddenly wondered if I brought Taiwanese style sandals here?
It should be a good merchandise to sell,
cause no one would dislike the color of the sky!

老實說
今天並沒有特地去城市週邊的景點
我想這些點要是以後參團，應該也會有
所以我只是去走旅行團絕對不會安排的點
例如逛博物館、走環湖步道
羅吐魯阿其實是個建在火山口的城市
而羅吐魯阿湖的周圍就有著地熱這項寶貴資源
走在環湖步道，總可聞到硫磺味
雖說和台灣的地熱谷很像
可舉目望去的一個是山一個是湖
那感覺可不像呢～
【12th of Jan, Walk in the Middle Earth】One Day in Rotorua.
Honestly,
I didn't have any special plan in Rotorua,
cause I thought I'll be there someday if I join the tour,
so this time, I just did something that the tour wouldn't do,
for example, the museum or walking around the lake.
Rotorua was a city that was built on the crater,
there was a natural source "Terrestrial Heat" around the lake.
When I walked on a sidewalk, I always could smell the sulfur,
although it's similar with Taiwan's famous spot,
but there was a lake in Rotorua, it's totally different!!
(上圖↑)(謎之聲：不要懷疑，這就是那間美輪美奐的博物館！)
(下圖↓)(謎之聲：看似乾燥的地，其底下可蘊含著豐富的地熱資源。小心燙傷！！)

今天，特地去參加毛利音樂饗宴
真的不錯
在旅途中遇見Anita(瑞士)、Iris(德國)、Tomomi(日本)
我們一起共度愉快的夜晚時光
回程，驀然想起客棧論壇有人說過
司機會要求大家唱自己國家的民謠
想當然爾，台灣只有我一人
本來還想哼原住民歌謠的我
"天黑黑"突然躍進腦海，就，跟著唱了
還贏得滿堂彩咧！(謎之聲：下次唱"西北雨"啦！)
【11th of Jan, Walk in the Middle Earth Part.2】That's My Choice, too!!
Tonight, I joined the Maori Hangi and Concert,
it's really nice,
I went there with my new friends, Anita(Swiss), Iris(Germany) and Tomomi(Japan),
We shared a wonderful night time together.
When we returned, I just thought about some dicussions in the website were:
the coach would ask each country people to sing their own folk song,
of course I was the only one who came from Taiwan,
so that song came my mind－－"The Day is Getting Dark(天黑黑)", then I sang,
all bravo around the coach!

沒了黑水漂，我還是花了錢去蟲洞一趟。
走入蟲洞中，時間彷彿靜止了…
點點的藍光微微亮起
美得像夢，似幻似真
滿佈如同銀河般
讓人沉醉得不能自己．．．．
【11th of Jan, Walk in the Middle Earth】Next Time, Black Water Rafting!!
Although I couldn't do the activity "Black Water Rafting", because of my personal reason,
I still spent money to go to the Glow-worm Cave, one of the famous scenery in NZ.
When I walked into the cave, it seemed the time stopped,
many many small blue lights lighted up,
it's unreal, like dreams, also it's everywhere in the whole cave, like galaxy,
it made me become intoxicated．．．
(謎之聲：蟲洞當然是不能拍照啦，這是出口，小船呢，要再回到蟲洞內的碼頭。)

在Hokianga有一間Kauri博物館
沒錯，就是最古老的樹種，僅生長在奧克蘭以北(南緯37度前(?))
可我並非對此特別有印象
令我印象深刻的是一旁的教堂。
周圍恬淡的牧場風光
墓園裡的墓碑靜立
裡頭還有好些是十九世紀的…
頓時有種踏進歷史的感覺…
【10th of Jan, Walk in the Middle Earth Part.3】Ancient Stele.
There was a Kauri Museum in Hokianga,
That's right, it was the ancientest tree, and only lived before the north of Auckland(the south latitude 37°(?))
but it didn't make any impression on me, the church beside did.
It's quiet and lovely around this place,
there were many gravestones in the cemetery,
even more, some of those were 19th Century,
suddenly, I had a feeling just like walked into the history．．．

由於昨晚和那個台灣旅人聊過後
我當下就決定要到Oamaru
那是個界於Danedin和Tekapo的小鎮
但現在時間已晚間九點多，櫃台已close
再加上明天搭一早回Aukland的車
心想隔天再改吧，包括搭船回北島那天住的地方
後來~~~在Aukland千辛萬苦找到i-Site後(什麼爛地圖？i-Site早就遷址4年了好唄？！)
竟然告訴我說他不能幫我，更改得由原預訂點做？o_O
我咧～在Paihia欸，我要再回去喔？！
花了4塊錢打到Paihia YHA，對方回覆一串
我猜是是要我入住時再更動吧，這樣才能退錢
(才剛到NZ沒多久，英聽實在很差…Orz)
既然如此
意思就是表示，我搭船回北島那天的YHA也不能取消了
唉～只好再花個2元搭巴士去車站轉“渡船頭”接駁車了．．．
(法國小姐來得好，我明天黑水漂大概甭玩了)
(又：我有Ａ到滿滿一盒洗衣粉ㄟ～感謝提供FREE洗衣粉的人)
[編輯室：此屬過場段落，恕不提供英文版本~~~~~哈哈！:D]

昨晚巧遇一個台灣旅人
在偶然的招呼下才知是台灣客
不覺時間飛逝地聊了一個多小時(驚)
洗完澡後又繼續聊到11點…
她雖然個性迷糊
一路爆笑橫生
但至少也即將回國
在她的“贊助”下
我有了一些洗衣粉和洗衣粉盒？？！！
呵～感恩啦！
【10th of Jan. Walk in the Middle Earth】What a Coincident Meet.
Last night, I met a traveler who came from Taiwan,
it's because a small greeting, and I just knew she was Taiwanese,
we chatted and didn't realize the time was passing fast.
Although she was not too clever, many funny things happened all her way,
but at least she was going home.
Thanks to her, I got some washing powder!!! :)

就像熱帶氣候一樣
會悶熱也會下雨
且雨勢多變，有牛毛細雨也有斜風橫雨
老實說，我不太喜歡雨天
但，碰上了也沒法子．．．
(法國小姐來了~~~行李總算可以多點空間了~)
(啥米意思？呵，只有女生才知道，噓~~~)
【9th of Jan, Walk in the Middle Earth Part.2】 Summer in New Zealand.
The weather was just like the tropic,
it's stuffy and rainy,
sometimes it was a light rain, even like the mist,
but sometimes it was a heavy rain with the wind.
Honestly, I didn't like a rainy day,
however, I can't help it．．．

還好昨天去了石屋…Lucky…
Hone Heke Lodge裡有隻貓
好像Cloudy…只不過牠的毛色是橘黃色
相對於Cloudy不太理人
牠好溫柔，跟牠打招呼，牠還會回應
一靠近就願意給妳摸，甚至
窩在妳的膝上…
好溫柔…有牠作陪
一天待在Lodge都ok…
【9th of Jan. Walk in the Middle Earth】It Was Raining.
It was lucky I went to the stone house just yesterday.
There was a cat in Hone Heke Lodge,
she/he was similar with Cloudy, Susan's cat,
and her/his color was orange.
Cloudy was not friendly, but she/he wasn't,
she/he was so gentle, if you said hi to her/him, she/he responded.
She/He wasn't afraid to come to people, even more she/he would stay on your lap... :)
It would be so sweet and comfortable if you stayed in the lodge with nothing only her/him...

下午出賣場後，下了一陣雨
沿路拿著可樂回程時
大概太快樂了吧
走著，路邊的景色陌生了
然後我想，我走錯路了。
用地圖確認之後，忽然聽見有人在我身後問"Do you need help?"
一個棕髮美少女，她很熱心的說要帶我回到該拐的那個彎
路上聊起一些旅途上的事
她來自瑞士，巧的是，她前陣子也住同間BBH，
Anyway，很愉快的一段路途
雖然多雲陣雨．．．
【8th of Jan, Walk in the Middle Earth Part.3】 A Warm Heart.
After I left the supermarket, it showered.
Maybe I was too happy, when I took my coke to get back the way to the BBH,
Everything suddenly was unfamiliar, then I just realize I lost.
When I made sure with a map, someone behind me asked "Do you need help?"
A pretty girl with brown hair, she said she can brought me back to the right way,
so we walked together and talked about many things about our trip.
She came from Switzerland, and she also stayed the same BBH several days ago.
What a wonderful meet, although it's cloudy and showery day~

下午到賣場去，原本只是想逛逛
雖然帶著洗衣皂
但想偷懶的我(沒錯，我懶)還是詢起了洗衣粉的價錢
１公斤NZ1.99，我猶豫了好久
只要２元，洗衣服就不用再買零售包
也不用手洗個半天．．．
還是放棄了，因為我不想多提１公斤的行李
怎樣？就用肥皂洗！
以前的人行，我也行！(賭一口氣．．．唉～)
【8th of Jan, Walk in the Middle Earth Part.2】 Just Because of 2 Dollars.
This afternoon, I went to a supermarket.
At first, I just wanna looked around,
but I still surveyed the price of washing powder, although I already had a soap.
1kg NZ$1.99, I just couldn't make up my mind,
only 2 dollars, it would be more convenient for washing clothes,
but you know? I gave up eventually,
cause I didn't want to carry the luggage more than 1kg...

花了一個小時的路程
來“覲見”19世紀的石頭屋和木屋
這二幢在紐西蘭是古跡更是歷史
一進去裡頭 撲鼻而來的是木頭的香味
和歷史的氣息
石屋裡還很有意思的賣起19世紀生鐵鑄成的器具和用品
連賣布裁布都是仿19世紀
哈，真是太”貫徹始終”了！
【8th of Jan. Walk in the Middle Earth】The 19th Century Stone.
It took me an hour to see this 19th Century stone house and blockhouse,
and these two houses were history in New Zealand.
When I got in there, I smelled the aroma which came from wood and history,
and there was one thing very interesting was they sold tools and equipment which made of pig iron from 19th Century,
even they sold or cut cloth, that style, it was just like 19th Century,
What amazing!!! o_O

從滿臉紅通的駕駛大哥(義務幫忙)手中接過
那一包紙包，真的是一包紙包
手心傳來溫熱
打開一看才知是食物
哈！第一次“拜見”這麼狂野的打包法
坐到河堤旁享用
沒想到海鷗依舊不甘被冷落地想分杯羹
當然從本大人的嘴上
牠們是搶不到任何好處的，哈哈！
【7th of Jan. Walk in the Middle Earth Part.3】Wild Fish & Chips.
I took a package of paper from the coach driver who had red face,
it really wrapped in paper,
when I opened it, I just knew why my palm felt some warm,
it was my first time to see such wild package to pack food.
I sat on a riverbank to enjoy my lunch,
of course there were some sea gulls wanna share it,
but that's impossible to have it from my mouth!! HA!

說真的
和九棚大沙漠一模一樣（沒錯，台灣也有）
大家玩起滑沙板玩得不亦樂乎
有人從頭到尾一板到底安全過關
有人卻中途就和板子“分手”
或
一路滾到泥沙旁全身泥濘
哈哈！
問我有沒有去玩？當然沒有！
在台灣就玩過了啦！
而且全身搞得都是沙…
我還是一旁“納涼”好了！嘻！
【7th of Jan, Walk in the Middle Earth Part.2】 This is 90 Miles Beach.
Seriously,
This desert was just like a desert we have in Kenting(That's right, we do have)
Everybody enjoyed playing sand skateboarding very much
some people skateboarded from the top till the bottom successfully
but some people didn't......
If you wanna ask me did I play it or not?......
Of course I didn't!!
I had already played this sand skateboarding in Taiwan!
Also because it would be a mess, so....
I gave up! Ha Ha!

其實天氣不太差
但到倫加角時竟詭異地“霧”來？
下了一段山路
停在好美的海灘旁吃午餐（三明治）
雖然一個是驚人的五元（想想，下午茶的價錢也差不多）
不過
太陽很舒服
海風很迷人
浪濤很悅耳（白沙也很燙…><）
美好的一日～
【7th of Jan, Walk in the Middle Earth】One Day in Cape Reinga.
The weather was not bad,
but when I arrived Cape Reinga, it was getting misty?
Anyway, the coach stopped in a beautiful beach, let everyone enjoyed their lunch.
I had a sandwich, even it cost me 5 bucks,
however the sun was pleasantly warm,
the wind was charming,
the wave was musical(the sand was hot...>_<),
it's one fine day to me....

往派西亞的路上
天氣多雲時晴
其實有點後悔沒帶短袖
昨晚真是悶熱呀…
僅管氣溫偏低(22C)
但，還是夏天呀…
乾是真的，我流鼻血了…>_<
【6th of Jan, Walk in the Middle Earth】Today, Into the North.
The weather was cloudy and sometimes sunny when I was on my way to Paihia.
Actually, I a little regretted that I didn't bring some short-sleeved clothes,
last night was hot and windless...
Although the temperature was 22 degree Celsius, it was still summer...
Also it's very dry, so my nose bled...T_T
