🕞3:00pm  

What does Getaway look like?

 


At about XNUMX:XNUMX, I found our campsite and followed the signs to our small forest. The appearance of Getaway House is really compact. It is the size of a truck container and surrounded by woods. At first glance, it looks a bit empty. For too long in a city surrounded by tall buildings and crowds, seeing such a large forest and such a small house is still a visual impact.



Here is the tree except you.There are about 25+ mini cabins in the camp. Between each cabin, there is almost half a playground as far away. On the one hand, you can be sure that you are not alone, but you don’t have to worry about being disturbed at all. It is completely private. Small forest.



 What are the internal facilities?



Open the door, the interior design is very modern and user-friendly. The real sparrow is small but well-equipped, and every inch of the room is reasonably used.



On the left hand side of the door is the entire wall of glass. The bed is next to the window. You can see the stars in the sky when you lie in the room at night.




There is a small box specially used to lock the mobile phone on the table entering the door, free marshmallows, the use guide of the hut, and the map of the camp and nearby areas, which are very detailed.

Bathroom hasShower, body soap, shampoo and conditionerThere are also, lemongrass taste, very good smell.Flush toiletNext toFirst aid kit.The internal facilities are very very complete, completely hotel-style bag accommodation.




🕓4: 00PM   Outdoor activity  



提供Firewood and igniter, The two people started playing with fire excitedly, planning to make a fire and roast free marshmallows to eat.




   🕕 6:00PM dinner  



The ingredients we prepared were very simple. The two of them ate and drank all the way, and came to the forest to eat some light, simple boiled in clean water, very easy to operate, no oily smoke, and adjusted a prepared dip.Healthy and nutritious.After all, the kitchen and the bed are together, so I don't want to sleep with oily smoke at night.




🕖7:00PM  Indoor activities  



What can I do without a mobile phone?There are not too many things you can do, read books, write diaries, draw pictures, write postcards to people you miss, listen to local music stations, turn off the lights to tell stories, and play poker.



The room provides playing cards and a 300+ page poker game book.Still not playing enough?The staff also carefully planned for everyone36 things you can do without the Internet, Can be found in the cabin manual on the table.




(I.e. 9:00 PM watch the stars  


This is my favorite part. The forest at night is pitch black, standing outside the door of the cabin, surrounded by trees, the moonlight is too white, the woods are all painted white, especially like the soul of a tree, the degree of the air seems to be very high. Take a few deep breaths, a little floating.

 


The forest has never been the home of human beings, surrounded by this unfamiliar aura, panicked, feeling that it will be taken away by the tree spirit in the next second.The two little counselors hurriedly hid in the house within a few minutes and locked the door.



Fortunately, the large windows in the room are very transparent, you can clearly see the stars above your head, the sky is beautiful, the stars are huge, the mana of the moonlight is psychedelic, and the mana of the stars is calm.Just lying in bed and staring at the stars in a daze, like when I was a child.



 

(I.e. 10:00 PM lights off and sleep 


At ten o'clock in the evening, the long-lost sleepiness came. I took a hot bath and applied a mask without drawing the curtains. After the lights were turned off, my eyes were dark. I closed my eyes and glanced at the stars above my head.The world has not been so quiet for a long time.



  🕡 6:30 AM Woke up by the sun  


I slept very peacefully. When I woke up, the sky was already bright. I could see the forest at the first sight when I woke up. The winter sun was very soft, and I closed my eyes at all, ah, so happy, don’t say much, and sleep again. A return to sleep.



 🕣 8:30AM breakfast  



Eat my favorite Indonesian dry noodles, a bowl of sweet seedless grapes.

Eating in the wild is always better than eating at home~



Sitting at the outdoor table, woodpeckers are eating bugs, I am eating breakfast.

Good morning everyone, duck.



 

🕤 9:30 AM  Check Out 



The rule is to check out before 11 o'clock. We tidy up the room, wash the bowls, and make up the bed. Such a good cabin, just want to cherish it, let me sit on the bed and enjoy the large windows.



I have to praise the humanity of the cabin. On the last page of the cabin manual, there are actually check out Lists, reminding you not to forget the clothes on the hook behind the door, and remember to turn off the lights and lock the door.Goodbye, heal my cabin, goodbye, forest.
