One could spend the day going on nature walk, climbing hills going down to the valleys, jungles, caves; if one is in a lazy mood just sit and watch the birds, butterflies or even fluffy clouds flitting across the clear blue sky.

At night one can stargaze. The stars look bright and big very near indeed on a moonless night. For those who like the night sky, even the man made satellites may be seen at night moving across the expanse of the sky.

One could sketch, write, read, sing, play musical instruments and play indoor games or simply laze around. The possibilities are immense and endless.
