Ikhsan and I camped in the mountain last weekend. It was very beautiful and very quiet there. The air was fresh. The
location of our camp site was on the top of a hill, so we could see the scenery around us. It was amazing. It was green
everywhere. It was also easy to get water as it was near a small river. You see the water is as clear as crystal. We didn’t
bring a lot of food from home because we wanted our meal there. We only brought some noodles, cans of sardines, and
biscuits. Ikhsan brought cooking utensils for cooking noodles.
On the first day, we spent our time setting up a tent and exploring the surrounding area. I was happy to find that there
were many campers there. At night, after we had dinner, we met other campers. We chatted and made a campfire. It was
fun meeting people who had the same hobby. It was not frightening at all at night in the forest. We went to bed at almost
midnight. We didn’t want to get up late the following day.
The next day we hiked with other campers until afternoon. We did not realize that it was almost 5 in the afternoon,
and we had to go back home soon. It was really nice. I plan to go there again on the next long holiday. I will ask other
friends to join.
