一次辛苦的旅行我的妹妹很喜歡旅行。自從畢業以來，她就下定決心要組織一次往一座古廟的旅行。因為交通費用昂貴，她決定騎自行車去，毫不擔心其中的不利情況。頑固的態度一直都是她的缺點，一旦她下定決心要做的事，就沒有人能說服她改變主意。最后，我們像往常一樣讓步，盡管我們更喜歡乘火車去。我們準備好了所有東西，包括時間表、可靠的天氣預報，還有保險，就開始了旅程。我們的旅程沿著一條從高海拔處流下來的河流前行。但我們的步伐很慢，因為當流經深深的峽谷時，這條河流急轉彎很多，急湍的河水都似乎沸騰起來。正如我在旅行日志里記錄的那樣，這真是一次艱苦的旅行。但是我們也欣賞到了美麗的景色。一天晚上，我把頭枕在一包羊毛衣服做的枕頭上，躺在星空下，當巖洞前的火焰在午夜熄滅時，我發現夜空是如此的美麗！四.AHorribleEarthquakeDirty
