ONE day, my daughter Echa asked me about the meaning of camping. I just said camping was vacation living in the open air for few days with a tent or something sheltering. She was still curious. A couple days after, we went shopping to Carrefour and I found big sale of dome tents there. It costs only Rp 129.000 (about US$ 14) each. I thought it was the right time to give complete explanation about camping. Then we made a plan to go one-day camping on Gedong Songo camping ground (1,300 meters above sea level), on the east side of Mt Ungaran, Central Java. On Wednesday, April 31, we made it. As you know, it was days-off (Wednesday and Thursday). But unfortunately, It was raining hard once we reached the location. We decided to spend one night first at a hotel. And at last, in the clear morning after we managed to erect a tent on a field beside the second temple of Gedong Songo until 4.00 pm in the afternoon. For the time being, Echa knows better what camping looks like, because experience speaks louder than words.
