Hendra and I camped in the mountain last weekend. It was very

beautiful and very quiet there. The air wash 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 a crystal. We brought a lot of food from
home. There were some noodles, cans of sardines, soft drink,
and biscuits. Hendra brought cooking utensils for cooking
noodle.
On the first day, we spent our time setting up 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 catted and played guitar. It was fun meeting people
who had the same hobby. It was not frightening at all at night in
the forest as it was very noisy that night. We laughed and sang,
and some campers even danced. We went to bed almost dawn.
No wonder we got up late the following day. We hiked with
others 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 planned to go there again on the next long
holiday. I would ask other friends to join.
