Day 20: Weekend Trip (Journey back)

Day number 20. Today was the last day of our weekend trip this week. Once again, woke up at around 5plus in the morning, prepared, packed our stuffs and headed downstairs to the restaurant for our breakfast!

After breakfast, all of us headed back to our rooms, do some last min packing of our stuffs and rested for awhile before we disembark the cruise and head back to our hostel. Its another 5hours long of bus journey back to our hostel at WUST.

Here are some photos of the dams the previous night which the cruise have to cross. At around 11pm in the night, we reached the first dam. The cruise was enclosed in the dam with several other cruises and they are lowered to a lower water level! Here are some of the photos!

On a side note, I think the weather here is changing for the better! Its getting cooler now, with rain and wind today. Hopefully it will stay this way! :D

My Reflections:

While watching the sunrise today, I realised that all of us should be optimistic towards our lives and things around us. The sun sets everyday and still rises the other day. This shows that every day is a brand new day. Thus, we should look forward and don't let things hold us back in the past.
