Unforgettable Experience

Unforgettable experience is always hard for me to forget and stay fresh in my memory
all the time. I still remember the experience of my life. Two months ago, me and my friend
named ilham spent our vacation in the village of ciasmara. There are many interesting thing
to see and to do in village. My friend brought his favorite motorcycle, vespa. Before we go to
village, I get ready first as usual. I brought my wallet and my bag along with me because he
doesn’t like so many bags in his motorcycle.

The journey to go there took about two hours. On the journey i saw rice fields and
many trees are very high. First off all I am happy because vespa is also my favorite
motorcycle. But before we arrived in the village, the motorcycle we were riding on broke
down and i have to wait for him to fix the bike. When it was increasingly cloudy, after that
the rain fell and we have to find a place to shelter. When we take shelter he continues to
repair his motorcycle. After the motorcycle was repaired and the rain subsided we chose to
continue the journey.

While on the way my friend asked to look for food because he was hungry. After that
we stopped at the restaurant and we decided to eat first before we continued the trip because
the trip still took another hour. When we have finished eating we continue the journey. We
arrived at ciasmara in the evening. My friend met his old friend named dinda and dewi. They
greeted us with an open arm. After we had kept our stuff his friend invite us to eat grilled fish
and we eat together. Then we take a walk in the forest, there have lots of trees and have lots
of places to camp.
 The next morning we went back to the forest but farther than before. This
forest is very rarely visited because the road is dangerous and very far away. We decided to
see a swing made of wood on the mountain, but we have to pass a very uphill and a very
steep road. After we reached the top we climbed a swing very close to the cliff. But it was
really fun because it was my first time riding a swing like that. It took hours to circle all parts
of the forest because it has many places that have not been visited by others.

\In the evening, we went to a hot spring. The sun shines in a hot spring turns water
into a golden colour while the cooling breeze. After we finished walking, we packed our
things and go back home. I shake my hands with them before we are leaving. They really
hope we will always go back there. I hope I will always go back there and go to the other
places we did not go yet.
