【All the way to the south, the travel of love】

Mimi Cheng

One of the most beautiful things in the world is the love that can cross the time and not burn out because of the years. Although there is no romantic flowers, but the 30 years of deep love, the heart is and the love is deep, we seem to have become One, the deepest love, such as the creek stream, stretches for a long time. Joining hands in the Patagonia National Park is a commemorative journey designed especially for 30 years of marriage.

Meeting is a fate. On the first day of medical school 38 years ago, there was no early step, no late step, and the moment , I believe that meeting is a fate. We will gently cherish each other in our hearts until a trip to Guilin, let our love bloom, and grateful to meet you in the most beautiful years.

Since then, travel has become the most beautiful appearance in our love. In 1986, Dadonghai, Sanya, Hainan, when it arrived at the beach, the dark night, the wave of waves slammed, giving people a hint of fear, and you clenched My hand, as if to tell me, don’t be afraid, we silently wait for the sky to show the radiance of the morning glow, when the sun jumps out of the water, the moment, and laugh, the moment, has been playing back in my heart. In 1987, Huangshan lived in a large tent of 50 people in the evening. He rented a military coat. At 5 o’clock in the morning, the crowds were crowded. You guarded me and joined Danxia Peak to let us meet the most beautiful sunrise. In 2011, Matterhorn, Switzerland, we can already sit on the terrace and pull the shutter of the camera to capture the moment of the wonderful sunshine. Alaska, the Mediterranean, the Nordic, the Arctic, South America, Europe and so on have left us with countless footprints. Travel with love is really happy, and dreams are full of happiness. You always reach out to help me block all the sorrows and troubles, so that I can rely on safety and peace of mind. I don’t care about the simplicity of life. I don’t pursue the enjoyment of luxury. What I care most about is to deeply cherish our love, to swear by the dynasty, to travel together, this is the greatest happiness in life.

Just 16 days of travel to South America, G Adventures designed the End of the Earth tour group, married for 30 years and walked to the end of the world, is a unique romance. There are 16 members in the group. Everyone joins the way to the south and walks to the end of the world.

Our project has the hiking of Argentina Fitz Roy . Live in El Chalten, a beautiful town under the foot of Fitz Roy, a walking place in Patagonia. The tour guide was a Chilean and often talked about the disputes between Argentina and Chile on the Patagonia. In 1985, the Argentine government established El Chalten to swear sovereignty. Due to the special significance of its existence, the entire town is basically for tourism.

This is the most difficult hiking in my life, 20 kilometers over the mountains. When I climbed the mountain, I realized that the ankle after the operation was not original. It would hurt if I walked quickly. I couldn』t keep up with the rhythm of the big team. It was completely self-abuse. I finally knew something, I can』t finish on time. The last 1 km when going up the mountain, it rises directly by 400 meters. It is all sarcasm. In many cases, it requires both hands and feet. Down the mountain is even more dangerous. Below is the steep and steep cliff. If you slide down, you will be dead. This road is a special challenge! The lady  guide has been persuading me to give up, I still insist on the highest point, thanks for persistence, snow mountains, glacial lakes, the most beautiful scenery is finally in front of Me. I finished the entire trip was completed one hour later than the big team. It was the tour guide in front, and Jack accompanied and helped to complete the impossible task. The last one kilometer was Jack’s encouragement and smile, which gave me the power to move forward. It was like a glimpse of the sun, warm and moving.

Choosing to go to Chile is because of the beautiful pictures and travel notes of friends by Xibian. Lonely Planet ranked Chile as the top of the list of the top 10 best travel countries in 2018. Chile’s Parque Nacional Torres del Paine National Park was reviewed by National Geographic magazine in 2012. As one of the “Five World Scenic Spots” and “one of the 50 attractions not to be missed in a lifetime”, the glaciers,  snow-capped peaks, waterfalls and  blue lakes, the original natural beauty, make people linger. Three-day trekking in the Chilean National Park, 24 km from the Las Torres  and the 19 km from the Valle Francés , and 11 km from the Lago Grey & Glacier Grey . I was accompanied by Jack and tried my best.

On the day of the French Valley, he did not follow the team on foot, accompanied me to the mountains and the mountains, to the foot of the  Los Cuernos Peak, the beautiful lake, only two of us on the road, we walked and stopped to look  the vast wilderness, the barely growing thorns and the wildflowers blooming, the blue water of the lake is quietly and gently accompanying us, the peaks of the Los Cuernos are shining in the sun, the air is with the breath of love, the most beautiful scenery in the world. Need to pursue the dream of persistence, hard work and strength.

For two nights, we slept in the two-person tent in the camp at  Torres del Paine Park, quietly looking at the moon and the stars in the sky, and seemed to be able to hear the sound of soft whispers and the sound of the lake, such as a wonderful The music echoed in the mountains. In the morning, the tent was opened and the red glow of the sun was reddened by the peaks . The camp gradually brightened under the gentle light, and the snow-capped mountains, lakes and glaciers were the best moments of the trip.

To Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, we went to the Hiking 8  Km in Tierra del Fuego National Park and went for a walk on Penguin Island. We boarded the speedboat to Penguin Island. I stood at the stern and admired the scenery on both sides of the Beagle Channel, welcoming the wind and waves. After 7 minutes, the boat came to Penguin Island, the penguins everywhere, singing and singing, as if welcoming us.

The penguin is a natural model. There is a penguin baby coming to me. I kneel down and he turns to look at me. It is so cute. Penguins are monogamous and loving couples. Some single penguins will sing loudly and hope to have a chance to get love. Once in pairs, it is inseparable.

For an hour, a blink of an eye passed, and we reluctantly bid farewell to Penguin. I hope that we will not wait too long,  we will meet again with the penguins in the Antarctic continent.

The lighthouse at the end of the world comes from the work of the French writer Verne, “The Lighthouse of the Sky”, which tells the story of the lighthouse guardian and the pirate fighting. It is the writing of “Two Thousand Miles Under the Sea” and “Virna around the Earth in 80 Days”. The lighthouse is getting closer and closer, the small island of the lighthouse is covered with small dots of black and white, and closer, only to find some big birds, (Cormoran), this is a migratory bird from Alaska, remember The Arctic has also seen such migratory birds. They reproduce here in November, leaving with their baby in March and returning to Alaska. If they don’t fly, they look like a little penguin.

The sun is shining, the weather is fine, the sea and the sky, the red and white lighthouse stands proudly in the middle of the island. The speed of the ship slowed down, and some of the tourists in the cabin went up to the second floor, and some came to the bow. The guide carefully photographed everyone, and we took a photo. The captain intimately made the speedboat turn around the island 360 degrees.

Perhaps, we are all eager for love that is both life and death, and that we will never give up. Thanks for the love of travel, selfless giving, mutual companionship, knowing, knowing each other makes me happy. At that time, the old age, and the memory of travel, that photo, is the warmth of the common collection. All the way to the south, the travel of love”, a journey of love is engraved in the bottom of my heart.
