Tent site
Because it is in sandbank in a river, there is worry about the wind.
I chose a place where the wind would not blow and put up a tent.
After I ate bread and entered the sleeping bag, I fell asleep soon.
So I already went to sleep before 7 o'clock.

That means I wake up in the middle of the night.
Cold, cold, I woke up around midnight as I thought.
I keep fighting against cold every night.
