We just want the life with no traffic which it means no noise sometimes.The twittering of birds and the sound of the wind blowing are the things we would like to enjoy. We usually go camping at the end of the months.
Last month we went camping in the mountainous area. My father's colleague recommended this camping site. We fell in love with this place at the first sight. It is really a nice spot for the tent. Arriving at the campsite, we were busy with our own duties. After my father struggled hard to put up the tent this afternoon, my mom brought some food for dinner. Everything was in place for a great family camping trip. We slept soundly in tent under a sparkling night sky, and woke up early because of the chattering monkeys. No hustle or bustle.This dark morning was very quiet with the soft light of lanterns. We had nice chat inside the warm tents.
After breakfast-just delicious home-cooked food- we hiked to the Crater Lake. It was a great place. We were at peace with nature, a perfect place to slow down and recharge. We walked (for the surefooted) around the rim of the crater. Hidden on the shores of a deep volcanic lake, the crater offered lovely views over the plains.This camping activity was the most memorable back-to-nature experience I ever have!
