there was still enough snow for us to fool around.... both extreme weathers came together so summer-ish and yet so frosty... It was worth the trip... Waking up late in the mornings to a three - days non - stop rain showers... It was cold and hot at the same time minus the humidity... lips dried up fast... the road was sometimes a desert to my eye, or even a dessert with snow capped mountains that look like frosty pudding with whipped cream toppings... the fields were filled with yellow patches of flowers, I wonder whether they are buttercups...
the lakes and waterfalls were amazing... our campervan cruised through the winding roads where sneak peeks could be seen of all the wonderful creeks, rapids and cute little one-way bridges where a full view of the valley or canyon could be seen... Arthur's Pass was amazing... You need not stop.. cause the roads are too winding... capturing glimpses of it from the car was great... Many a time, along the roads where small 'scenic view lookout' areas were spotted, old elderly couples were seen huddling cosily in their fold -able chairs, sipping hot coffee whilst they lost themselves with awe to the picturesque views residing so peacefully among the mountain range... It was a bliss... Would love to do that when I retire...( a not too long future)... I thank god for the chances that I had gotten... to see the lovelier side of god's creation... No ugliness, just tranquility and peace which could wash people's minds of any evil... Maybe it is the location... where nature are abundant, people have less evil thoughts... less misdeeds are committed... less complicated society... My thoughts may be old, but I yearned for this sort of lifestyle... No anxiety, no hidden meanings in life... just a straightforward life where people are happy because they are really happy and not because they will feel weird when they aren't happy... We want to be happy in so many ways, but the simplest way to be happy is to be in that state without realising it...
I thank god that I could meet people who were so kind in their hospitality... their warmth makes it feel like home.. the feeling of goodness itself is a home.. sleeping and cooking in a campervan was truly amazing... a hard to come by experience... I thank god for that too.. I am thankful that there are so many people around me who could guide me and protect me from the brutal reality... It is this wonderful blessing that I am grateful for...
