Go Camping

The weather was very clear. My family and I decided to go camping last holiday. Father prepared the tent and other equipment. Mother prepared the cooking and eating utensils. I took my fishing rod and my brother brought his sport equipment. When everything was ready, we left for the camping site in countryside.

There were many campers when we arrived at the camping site. Unfortunately, the good location near the river had been occupied by other campers so we had to look for another place. Finally, we found a good place little bit further. It was near a big tree. After setting up the tent, my father and I went fishing. We joined other people sitting on the rock near the river.

In the evening, father made a fire. Mother cooked the fish we caught. I could say that it was the best fish I had ever tasted.  Sleeping in the tent was a very wonderful experience. I woke up early in the morning. I felt fresh. Then I accompanied my brother playing ball.

In the afternoon, we went back home.

Dear, Winda

How's everything? I'm having a great time. I'm in Malang for a holiday now.  I have been in  this town for a week.

Yesterday my aunty, Latifah, took me to Jawa Timur Park in Batu. It was amazing. The park provided a lot of things to enjoy, such as; a bird park, a flower park, a children park, and "Gallery Belajar". The last was so interesting. Some scientific exhibitons could be found here. Visitors could try them. I think you would be curious to do it if you were there.

The other day we went to "Coban Rondo". It was a fresh and cool waterfall on the slope of mountain. We should pass a small path along the jungle to come to the place. I enjoyed it very much.

On the  last day we went to "Ngliyep". It was a quiet beach. The most interesting to do on the beach was playing with the sand. Tito and Mirna, my cousins, built castle with the sand. I joined them. We were happy when the waves came. They swept the castle we made.

Well, Winda, that's all from me now. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Please reply this soon. Give my best regard to both you and your family.

Yours,

Vivi
