I had a few students request some information about my camping trip vacation :
Day 1
5am wake up and finish packing
6am leave and start driving towards Niigata get McDonald Breakfast sandwiches for the drive
Took about 6 hours to get to Niigata with traffic and pit stops along the way.
12:00 Arrive and have lunch at the Snow Peak restaurant then check in at 12:45
Drive around the camp ground yo find the perfect place to set up tent for 4 or 5 nights.
Begin setting up tent around 13:30 — when building the tent it has three parts main body , extension to make a bigger living space for supplies and the inner tent and gear also need to be set up — full build and set up takes about 2.5-3 hours —finished around 16:00
Then it’s time to go have Hot spring bath and eat supper at the restaurant 16:00-18:30
It’s a tiring day so — I prepare the sleeping gear in the inner tent and we are in bed by 21:00 for the night .
Day 2 wake up around 6:00
Coffee and biscuits , take Karin for a walk ,hang out in the inner tent while the bugs are active .
Hot spring from 10am and I start preparing Lunch Rice and Eel .
Cooking rice so it’s prepared properly takes about an hour — since it’s in an earthenware pot the timing and heat are important and you have to watch it very carefully — it takes a lot of practice .
Day 2 continued with relaxing time and reading books, enjoying campfire at night etc .as did subsequent days 3 and 4
My internet connection isn't so good and my phone battery is dying quickly so I don't keep my phone on for communication during camping trips except to check email once or twice a day .
I will post a follow-up post with some more pictures of our time at the camp field and explanation after returning from our trip !
Looking forward to chatting with you all again soon !
kindly Stephanie
