客棧日記 Guesthouse Diary – The last day


5/26/2014

大夥走了之後,我們休息了兩天,雖然沒有客人,但打掃18個客人走後的客棧也花了好一段時間(真不知道旺季是怎麼過)

524,胡姨和叔叔終於回來了,我們見了面非常高興之餘,也看到了非常美麗的雲彩!!


接下來的一天,我們忙著在離開之前為客棧設置各樣東西,店裡的日常工作就交回棒給叔叔。

526日是我們打算要離開的日子,剛好導遊小符和三個法國客人正要離開出發到建水,我們就搭個順風車。計劃好是早上小符先和客人出去玩一玩,中午約在景區出口處,再一起去建水。

早上,來了很多人,其實早一陣,已常有奇怪的人出出入入...原來是很多的政府官員來了,說是今天要來拆掉違章的建屋。青旅的咪咪說她們那邊也有一些官員,而且也有很多村民開始聚集在村內。

由於一直在下雨,小符他們不知道還會不會出去玩,所以我們都提前收拾好行裝,只等小符的指示我們就可以走。終於等到停雨,還有時間,小符和客人出發,我們應該就等他們玩完再會合。

可是,出門才十多分鐘,胡姨匆匆忙忙跟我們說:「快拿行李上去,不走就走不了,路要被堵啦!!」於是,我們馬上拿了行李,匆匆道別就走,小符和客人就在停車場等著上了車,開到主路上,只開了100米左右,幾十個村民在路上,跟我們說路不能走了,只能繞老虎嘴那邊的彎路。我們看到前方有一大挖泥車,再往前有荷槍實彈的警察排成一字。

跟相熟的當地人也順道道別了,我們掉頭開住老虎嘴。

這是一條彎彎曲曲的盤山路,很久沒有坐車的我還有點暈車浪….剛才不是說好剛停雨嘛。梯田是要有雲霧才美,就在我們離開的這一天,看到了最美的雲海!!!



暫別了元陽,出發到建水。

After the big group left, we had no guests for two days.  But, cleaning up after 18 guests left is no small deal, I don’t know how the guesthouse survive during the peak season.

May 24, auntie Hu and uncle finally return.  We are happy to see them come back, and at the same time, saw the really amazing clouds when we picked them up.

The next day, we were busy getting setting up stuff for the guesthouse before our departure.  We turned the daily tasks back to uncle.

May 26 is when we planned to leave.  Fu is a French speaking guide who happened to be leaving with his customers today, we are able to get a ride.  The plan is that Fu will take his customers out in the morning and we meet around lunch and go to JianShui together.

A lot of people from outside show up at the guesthouse in the morning.  In fact, there have been a lot of strange people lately… They are local government officials, coming to push down illegal buildings today.  Mimi also told us that there are also many people in YHA, and many locals gather around in the village now.

It’s been raining in the morning, Fu is not sure if they can still do sightseeing today.  So, we pack all our bags early in case we leave directly from here. Finally, the rain stops, and Fu decided to go with his customers and we meet afterwards.

However, it is only 10 min after Fu left, auntie Hu come by and ask us to leave immediately before it is too late since the road will be blocked soon.  We took our bags and leave immediately, Fu is waiting at the carpark… We get into the car and drive onto the main road.  Only 100m away, there were tens of locals gathering on the road, and told us that we cannot leave from here, have to detour to LaoHuJiao.  We saw a big excavator, and behind that, is a line of armed police.

We said goodbye to some local friends, and turned back to take the route to LaoHuJiao.

This is a very windy road, I get kind of sick since I have not been travelling for quite some time…The rain had just stopped, as you know, rice terraces are most beautiful when there are clouds.  We saw the most beautiful sea of clouds on our departure day!!!


Say bye to YuanYang and we are on our way to JianShui.
