BEAT THE HEAT
The increasing heat index seems no end.
For the past days, we have been enduring a very hot summer that even moving inside the house would make one sweat.
My family decided to embark on yet another adventure to beat the summer heat: go back to the river.
We packed some food as well as the butane stove and some pots and now we are ready to go!
This time too, we hiked from the house all the way to river. It was about 40 minutes hike.
By the time we reached the river, we decided to move further up stream for a good swimming spot for the adults too.
We had to walk along the shallow parts of the river because it is quicker rather than following the footpath which leads further away.
This is my family trying to locate better ways to get upstream. Watch out! The stones might be slippery.
We moved further up until we found a nice spot to stay, a big rock where all of us can sit and rest. There is also a spot where we can cook food. Below the rock is a good place to swim.
While the others went for a dip, some of us prepared our food. While it is hot and we would have been most likely be swimming, we are all hungry from the hike so we needed to prepare the food as quick as we can.
Once ready, the food was gone fast and of course, after eating, we all went to swim.
Swimming is so refreshing. The water is clean and cold. This is indeed the best way to beat the summer heat.
How about you? How do you beat the summer heat?
📌Hi. I'm Cate. This is our nature trip with the family. While this river is a bit far, we enjoyed the hike especially that I got to spend it with the family, lots of stories and lots of jokes.
