My memorable journey

One of my favourite journeys was when I went backpacking in the mountains.

I and my older cousins spent three days and two nights walking through the mountains.

Before the trip we had to do a lot of preparation. We already had most of the equipment like tents, sleeping bags and other basic things, but we had to buy food and medical supplies.
We also studied the maps and the trails because it is very easy to get lost in the wild.

The first day was amazing, but also very difficult. We saw extraordinary landscapes, plants and animals. At first, it was a bit scary to be alone in the wild, but it also felt really good to be away from the big cities and all the noise.
It was hard to walk for so many hours and by the end of the day we were exhausted and our feet hurt so much.
The night was incredible! The sky was beautiful and full of stars.
The next two days we visited the most amazing places and we also met some great people along the way.
By the end of the journey we were really tired and our legs and feet hurt so much that we could barely walk. But it was completely worth it.
It was a wonderful experience for all of us, and we will definitely do it again.
