Camping trip

Ayako and I took an hour drive east to find a new place to camp. It was run the local town, which means it was free. When we got there, I was impressed with how nice it was. It was along a river, so it was a long, narrow area for camping. We saw that a group of young people (around 30 of them) had set up an area to have a small rave during the night so we set up camp further up the river.
You can see in the back ground, that we had a nice waterfalls near our site:
Here's an up close shot of the waterfalls:
Further down the river was a nice place to play in the water along with a nice view:
When we were going to the site, we took a wrong turn and we drove up a long narrow road to the top of a small mountain range. We found that the area had been turned from a forest into a tea growing area. It was impressive to see tea fields going all the way down different sides of the mountain. (sorry, no picture) However, here is a picture of Ayako pretending to take a bite of a (possibly) poisonous berry:
We did see a few snakes there as well. There were signs that poisonous snakes were about, but the ones we saw were friendly and left us alone. As for the mini rave that happened. Since the campground was free, they were allowed to have a rave, and luckily it wasn't too loud during the night. I would like to go there again with it hopefully being quieter next time though.
