Bab 102: Diana and the camp

I was sure that my legs would fall off from my body by the time Alexandra told that we were almost there. Only my pride was saving me from asking "How much longer yet?" every five minutes or complaining about everything wrong with this hike.

And then the forest thinned into a wide clearing with an occasional tree there and there I saw it, the camp. It was huge. I couldn't see the other end of it, only endless tents and people strolling around. Colourful flags and flower chains were hung everywhere, and I would've been amazed to see it all if I wasn't so damn tired.

Alexandra was winded too, by now, but that didn't change her general attitude.

"Now we just have to enter our names at the registry and we will rest and make our lunch," she said, pointing at a wooden booth next to a line of rope that walled off the camp. With nothing better to do, we all trudged after her.
