Travel with me #01 My unforgettable night in a mountain village

in #travel7 years ago

Dear Fellow Steemians;

Do you still remember the post where I used fallen leaves to create a Steemit Logo in a secret garden? If you missed my Steemit logo art, you can check it out here.

Today, i'm continuing my story about the mountain village and the unforgettable night I spent at the village. Let's go into the village!

On route to the secret garden, we experienced a huge traffic jam. Whilst peering outside at the scenery, I saw a big crane carrying away saplings which have blossomed well. This was the first time I've seen big cranes carrying away trees.

Everywhere I look, the local residents have already started stockpiling firewood for winter.

I have no idea what is on the balcony, if someone knows what it is, please let me know!

On the next part of our journey, we drive through endless S shaped mountain roads, very much like Initial D in real life!

The doors are extremely heavy laden with iron bits on them. I used two hands to push them open.

As I venture into the secret garden, I saw this cute sculpture. It made me desire having a pet with me..

When I turned my head, I saw a real dog.

He might look quite fierce but he's actually really handsome! He’s a German Shephard, also known as a German Police Dog.

Looks very cool in this photo don't you think? Times goes by quickly and it's time for dinner. We decided to have a barbecue in the garden. Lamb skewers smell SO good.

In addition to the barbeque, my friends prepared some home cooked dishes. Let's see what's on the table:

What an amazing moment having a table full with delicious food. All of a sudden, Bang! A power cut. We light candles and continue eating. It's a completely different atmosphere under the candle light. I hoped that the lights would come back on, but after waiting a while, it never did. For the rest of the night, we lived under the candle light. After the candles burnt out, it was pitch black. I was in so much fear because I've never truly been anywhere without any light at all. It was hard to sleep that night. All I could hear was the sound of wind and the dogs barking. It was an unforgettable experience for me that made me realise how important it is to care for people who are visually impaired. It must be hard for them to live in darkness.
