¦ 7 ¦ Walk with us in our challenging journey into deep jungle

Dear steemians...
It's been a while since my last #walkwithme post.
I am sure there is nobody miss me and my dull story, but I'll keep continue posting my #walkwithme stories. 🤡
I understand that quality is a very important aspect in a post, I always try to improve the quality of my post, hopefuly you're not bored reading it.

And the story begins....

Last week was tough, but I am glad I made it through. I took a journey into deep jungle and mountain. It was a very long walking day, the most challenging activity in my life if I may say.

You know that I live in inland area, in a small village, far from town. Most people in the village are farmer, one of them is my brother. He has an agricultural field where he planted coffe trees. Yes, he is a coffe farmer. He has been dealing with coffee farming since a year ago. The coffe field itself is located far in the jungle. He comes there once a week with group of villagers.

Last week, I joined the farmer team going to the coffee fields which is located so far from the village. Before leaving, we prepared supplies such as clothes add foods, because we will be there for 3 days, so we had to be well-prepared.

I love walking and sight-seeing. I was very excited about this journey, I imagined about viewing beautiful wild nature, taking pictures and so on.

Yep, that's my imagination about walking into the jungle. But the truth is far from my imagination. It's not because the nature is not beauty, I enjoyed the journey but my body almost couldn't take it. I am not as strong as I would have expected. The journey was not as easy as I would have imagined. We walked almost all day!! Can you imagine it? I almost got faint while walking. What a day!

The group is walking

Honestly, I didn't know where the location of coffee field was, I just followed the group. It's more far than I thought. I kept thinking and asking Are we there yet? and How long do we have to walk? every 20 minutes 😌

I saw the group, they looked relax. I was the only one who got tired easily. Are their feet made of stone? They're strong!

They accross this path every week, they have got used with the route, no wonder they felt relax.

I actually enjoyed this journey so much, I could take many pictures of beautiful nature but I was afraid to do so. You know, If I were too busy taking pictures, I could get left behind by the group because they walked so damn fast!
My brother warned me about that, he said :

Don' walk slowly because you will get left behind. If something bad happen to you (you got raped by a tiger for example), there won't be any tiger to ask for responsible 😱😱😱😱)

I saw river! I saw river! Yay!!

I love the river so much, so beautiful! I could spend hours there. I wanted to take rest, bathing, taking pictures, etc 😍

But the group said we wouldn't stop at the river, we needed to keep walking or we would get to the coffe field late. I was so shock and disappointed but I had no choice. 😟
I prepared myself to get accross the river. We were lucky because it hadn't been rain there, so the river was shallow and water flow was smooth, we were able to pass it. I was very careful when passing the river, of course.

Be careful, folks!

Almost get there, keep walking!

At this point, I was almost faint and lost conscious. I had walked for unknown hours. I was very tired. This was my first time walking like this, the group had crazy stamina and I was the one who was weak, it drove me crazy. The view was actually great here, as you can see, the fog makes view even better, but I lost my interest due to my tired and fatigue body, I couldn't focus myself on photography, not to mention my low-bat smartphone. If my body was fit I would have taken lots of pictures here.

Here we are! The coffee field.

This is gayo coffee trees. Have you ever heard about Gayo Cofee? It is one of the most popular coffee in Aceh. Having unique aroma and special taste, this coffee had been awarded as one of the best coffee in the world. Based on Wolrd Coffee Exhibition held by Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) in Portland, Oregon Convention Center, USA, Gayo Coffee is one of the most expensive coffee in the world. Even if when crisis in Europe, Gayo Coffee was still in high demand there.

That's all picture I could get because my smarphone was out of battery. I wish I could take better pictures and provide better story. I apologize for any grammatical error I made in this story.
