神山【二】 / Mount Kinabalu[2]

晚上的冷令我無法好好入睡﹐得不到充足的睡眠，第二天起来就感到很累。早餐用了後，收拾东西准备出發囉。到註冊櫃檯報到後，跟著神山導游跳上了休閑車來到了山腳美斯勞（Mesilau）入口處。就這樣我們一行八人浩浩蕩蕩出發了，我從美斯勞進口處望向森林裡頭感覺沒甚麼的，誰知走了幾步開始感覺到壓力來了。當看到了第一個牌時，上面寫著五百米。天啊，才五百米。從這裡開始，我生起了雜念頭，我很想放棄，我很想跟前方的隊友說我不想攻頂了。但為了面子，我不敢說，逼著雙腳撐呀撐，望望風景。。。咦，又到了另一個牌，上面寫著一公里。才一公里，放棄的念頭還不斷的在我腦裡轉個不停。

走著走著，我已離隊。前方幾位大師兄已不知去向，後方的因要拍照，所以我在中間獨行。過了不久，才遇見了前方其中一位因趕不上而慢慢獨行的大師兄。有伴總比沒伴好，兩人講講話拍拍照，知道我好像要放棄，不斷地在旁鼓勵別想太多。就這樣我拋開了放棄登山的念頭，繼續接受挑戰。

老天爺看見我爬得那麼辛苦，還為我“流下了眼淚”，撒下了聖水為我鼓勵。雨水的到來已在預料中，所以不用抱怨，唯一能做的事就是披上雨衣。走了不久，後方的師兄師姐門趕上了。五人就這樣慢慢地攻著上山腰，聖水滲透了鞋子，冷和累在每個人的身上都能感受得到。美斯勞這條路線的風景的確優美，某些地方在網上看過的現在確出現在眼前了。雙腳的累與痛，導致抽筋，搽盡無數的藥膏都不行，師兄給了兩粒松筋止痛藥，不到半小時幾乎忘了那疼痛，真要說聲謝謝你們的照顧。

走了大約八個鐘頭後，終于看到山腰的餐廳。進入餐廳前，門前的溫度計顯示著攝氏九度～冷～。 進入餐廳第一樣要做的東西就是放下沉重的背包，來杯熱飲料，只能用一個字來形容-爽。休息足夠後，繼續往休息站走去，帕納拉班（Panar Laban）就是我們要到的目的地。到達那兒時，看見了三位大師兄，他們比我們快到達大約兩小時，佩服佩服！在休息站不敢沖涼，只因那種冷度是無法形容的。晚餐用了後，第一時間是烘干鞋子。八點多就上床找周公，但是怎樣也無法好好地入睡只因枕頭、棉被、床樣樣都是冷的，只能小睡罷了。~太冷了～

The weather here too cold make me cannot sleep very well, felt of tire & lack of energy when woke up in the morning. After breakfast, we report ourselves at registration counter and 8 of us started the challenge from Mesilau Gate entrance with the mountain guide. When I look into the jungle from outside of the Mesilau Gate it look like nothing, but when I moved on few steps I started to feel pressure. When I passed by the 1st board, on the board show 500 meter. My God, 500 meter only. From here I felt want to give up, I want to tell the group I want to give up to reach to the peak but I did not. I tried to move on by look around the scenery there, it come to another board showing 1 KM. 1 KM has passed but in my mind still felt want to give up.

4 of the members has moved on earlier, few members want to snap photos so at the end I walk alone. But later on I met with 1 of our group member from the front that left out by other 3. Along the way we snapped photos while chitchat, he felt that I want to give up and tried to encourage & advised me to move on. At the end, the give up feeling has gone.

The God has “cried” for me caused knew that I moved on with the tire body. Rain was in our expectation, so need not to blame or complains; the only thing was wear our raincoat. Few hours later, 3 of the group members catch up with us. So 5 of us moved on slowly to the rest hut, rain has wet up our shoes, everyone can feel the coldness & tire. Both of my leg’s muscle pain, thanks for my team members passed me 2 tablets of muscle painkiller for released my pain.

After walked for around 8 hours, finally reached at the restaurant near the rest hut. The thermometer in front the restaurant shows 9° Celsius, ~cold~. After entered to the restaurant, the first thing need to do is put down the rucksack & order a hot drink. After the rest, we head toward to our rest hut at Panar Lanar. When reached at the rest hut, we met 3 of the members who reached there around 2 hours earlier than us, salute to them. At Panar Laban I did not dare to bath, it’s too cold. After dinner, the first thing was dried up my shoes. I tried to sleep around 8pm but only managed to sleep for a while, the bed, the quilt and the pillow everything was cold. ~TOO COLD~
