father prepared the tent and other equipment. My mother prepared for the cooking. I took my fishing rod and my brother brought his sport equipment. When everything was ready, we
went to the camping site in the countryside.

rock near the river.

once we get moving.”

number of geckos. Some of them were quite large ones. The weather was still hot when I went diving. Jane waited for me at the seashore. She observed some fishermen who had just
caught some fish. She did not want to dive because she had a trauma with sea animals. We had three days here which we spent to walk around the island and it takes about an hour.

Dont eat just before going to bed my mother used to tell me. You might get a nightmare. How right she was. I never believed her until it happened to me. It was on a night
when I felt hungry just as I was about to go to bed. So I made myself a Nasi Goreng and a large cold glass of milk. After consuming them I went to bed.
Soon I drifted off into a troubled sleep. I dreamt that I was with a group of people looking for an old woman. I was not sure why we were looking for her but we all seemed
afraid of her. Somehow we had to find her. After some searching I entered a darkened room and saw a figure sleeping on a bed.
As I got nearer the figure suddenly threw away the blanket, got up and stared at me. It was an ugly old woman with shiny golden teeth. She raised her claw-like fingers and walked
towards me. I wanted to run but was unable to. I tried to scream but found that I could not. In horror I struggled and struggled to get away from the frightful woman.
