Chapter 515 Heading for the mountains!
Robert held the parchment in his hand. This was the activity instructions and needed to be read carefully.
They arrived not too late. Tomorrow afternoon will be the final gathering time, and the seniors like them must be on their way the day after tomorrow.
Food, water, maps, transportation, heating appliances, cooking utensils, climbing tools...
Although it may not be used, if you don’t carry a mountaineering bag in such a city, it will always give people the feeling of underestimating alpine sports.
With the Invisible Stretching Charm, purchasing these things is not that difficult. The only difficulty is...the money.
There is no wizarding trading place in Switzerland, not to mention Gringotts or Shinling Pavilion.
Pure-blood wizards felt deep malice. They had no Swiss francs, no pounds, and no dollars.
Of course, it is impossible to have a credit card. Even adult wizards like Mr. Weasley who have been around for many years were only reminded of such a thing after going abroad and integrating into the Muggle world. Normal wizarding families have no idea that such a thing exists.
When the little wizards ran into the store excitedly, looked at the dazzling array of products, and carried them to the checkout counter with anticipation, they discovered with confusion that money, gold galleons, can't be enough? !
This was probably the first time that pure-blood wizards realized the importance of Muggle wizards.
They have no money, but Muggle wizards have money!
"There seems to be a lot of food." Cedric looked at the shopping bag, "Are these delicious?"
"This is food for tonight." Robert explained, "You all go shopping with me tomorrow. I won't help you get it. A minor can carry so many things at once, which will make Muggles panic. , as for the cost of buying things, you can just change it to gold Galleons or something like that and give it to me."
The little wizards nodded in understanding.
"Okay, let's have a dinner! After all, we will be on the road tomorrow!" Robert asked everyone to set up a grill in the barbecue area of the park. There is an iron plate next to it, which can also be used for barbecue.
Hermione and her friends were also at the party, as were Ron's friends.
"You are setting off tomorrow? Will you get lost?" Hermione looked worried. "Be sure to buy a very accurate map. If you get lost like Mr. York, you will be in trouble."
Robert thought... they probably wouldn't do that.
At night, everyone in the tent went to bed early to recharge for the trip starting tomorrow.
The wizards' tent can be said to be a temporary hotel, with guest rooms, running water, bathrooms, and kitchens.
Speaking of the tent being provided by Cedric, it seems that Mr. Diggory got the tip in advance.
Interlaken is located between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, at the foot of Switzerland's most famous scenic spot - Jungfraujoch. It is the base camp and supply station for tourists entering the mountain. Jungfraujoch is located on the 23rd right south of Interlaken. Ten kilometers away, there are four peaks in the scenic area, namely Schilthorn, Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger. The tops of the mountains are all covered with thick snow.
Schilthorn is world-famous from the 007 series of movies. It has beautiful scenery and can be taken up by cable car.
Jungfrau, Mönch and Eiger stand side by side, forming a very unique combination of peaks. There is not much difference in altitude between them. Jungfrau is the highest and Eiger is the shortest, but Eiger was the last to be conquered.
The north slope of the Eiger is one of the steepest and most rugged natural dangers in Europe. Rolling stones often fall. The climate there is extremely unstable, which adds great difficulty to the climb. However, the Muggles relied on their own wisdom and perseverance to climb the mountain. More than 30 climbing routes have been opened up. Their adventurous and pioneering spirit is worthy of praise, but it is not recommended for ordinary Muggles, especially novices, to try it.
Doesn’t the slope at your door smell fragrant? Why do we have to run to the Snowy Mountains?
It was freezing to death and I couldn't even boil water.
Robert looked sad, so he said, just climb the mountains that are not particularly high. Why bring a group of people to the snow-capped mountains?
Yes, as if to cause trouble for the little wizards, this time’s destination is the Eiger ridge.
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
It's so sick!
Why do you have to choose the hardest one to climb?
However, Seid and the others did not realize the seriousness of the problem. Instead, they looked out the window in surprise.
"This scenery is amazing!" Cedric shouted, "Merlin! Guys, can you see the mountains in the distance?"
The little wizards clung to the car windows with their eyes wide open.
I saw overlapping mountains in the distance, with no edges visible at all. At this time, a ray of sunlight happened to shine on the cliff with the waterfall hanging outside the window. The golden light looked like gold was flowing down, flooding the small town at the foot of the mountain. The houses and streets are also dyed a dazzling golden color.
"It's amazing..." the little wizards exclaimed.
Summers asked blankly, "Did they keep the sheep on the roof?"
Following his line of sight, it turned out that someone had planted green grass on the roof of his house, which almost blended in with the surrounding green grass. A light brown goat climbed up the roof and chewed leisurely. Holding the fresh and juicy grass leaves in his mouth.
Cedric and Stebbins' eyes lit up, "You might as well suggest Mom do the same! Let the sheep go on the roof!"
Robert looked at Qiu who was standing by with a strange expression and felt that she was letting off the air conditioner.
Poor classmate Xiaosai has not yet realized that raising sheep on the roof may look nice, but if they create unnecessary garbage on the roof, who will do the cleaning work?
Anyway, looking at this posture, Qiu probably won't do it on his own.
Their original first stop was supposed to be Kleine Scheidegg, arriving in Lauterbrunnen first, then Wengen, and then arriving at Kleine Scheidegg. If they were lucky, they could go up the mountain today.
However……
Seeing such beautiful scenery, the little wizards would never agree to go up the mountain today.
"I'm going to buy a camera and film!" Qiu's eyes were filled with excitement, "Take some photos and take them back to show your parents!"
Cedric asked with some confusion, "Although black and white photos can move, if they are landscapes, the photos are actually nothing, right?"
"It's a color photo!" Qiu rolled his eyes and said with some displeasure, "Wizards' cameras are too backward. Let's go buy Muggle cameras!"
"Huh?" Cedric looked confused, "But we don't have money..."
Qiu looked at him speechlessly, "I do..."
In this way, although everyone bought things together before, Qiu actually paid the bill for herself and Seid.
However, the camera has always been a gold-swallowing beast. Not to mention the body itself, you also need to buy various films, batteries, and of course, the most expensive thing, the lens.
Robert looked puzzled, did Mr. Zhang have that much money in his card?
