LATUS 4

Two days ago I went to the Merapi Mountain. It was the first time I climbed the mountain. I did it with some of my friends.

We started climbing at 8 p.m. It was so dark and we only used flashlight to get the way. I felt no worry because all of my friends were professional climber. I just followed their instruction. We climbed slowly and enjoyed the night there.

After some hours walking in the dark, we could reach the top of the mountain. It was at 3 a.m. early in the morning. We were not alone. There were a lot of people who reached that top before us. We waited the sun to rise by cooking some food and making some hot drink to get back our energy. We sang some songs together, shared stories and got acquainted with people there.

After seeing the sun rose, we had to go back home. Getting down the mountain was not as hard as the climbing process because we only spent a few energy and time even we had to be more careful to do this process. However, it was great experience I had ever done so far.
