My sister was fond of traveling.

Since transporting fare was expensive, she decided to use a bicycle to cycle there not caring about the disadvantages.

Ever since graduating, she had been determined to organize a trip to an old temple.

Her stubborn attitude was always her shortcoming. Once she made up her mind to do something, no one could persuade her to change her mind.

Finally, we gave in as usual though we preferred to take a train.

Our journey was along a river flowing from a high altitude.

After we prepared everything, including the schedule, reliable weather forecast and the insurance, we began our trip.

Just as I recorded in my journal, it was really a hard journey. But we also enjoyed great views.

Our pace was slow because the river frequently had many sharp bends through deep valleys, where the water seemed to boil.

One night, I put my head on my pillow -- a parcel of wool coats, and lay beneath the stars. When the flame in front of our cave went out at midnight, I found the sky so beautiful!
