My Cape Nature experience!!

As someone who isn’t really from Cape Town the first time experience was too phenomenal so much so that putting my experience in words would do it much justice. The way there was too great as I was in a bus full of my class mates, peers, facilitators and best of all friends, I smile as I continue typing this reflection. The road trip was too much for words that bonding session among friends was certainly needed, and I know for a fact I am not speaking for myself. I got to see around Cape Town the beautiful landscapes of the South Western part of the country the view was breath taking. My favourite moment was seeing a beautiful water fall as we drove past this mountain as tall luscious trees unmasked the water falls beauty.

Then we finally got to the nature reserve we were briefed on how to behave funnily enough it was done for the third time, one would swear a bunch of zoo animals were being taken out on a field trip. As we got off the bus we got to mingle with the rest of the Life Science 151 students. The first place we went to, something like an outdoor museum where there were beautiful rocks and traces of animals that were found in and around that area. My friends and I then decided to have a ‘girl moment’ in the bathroom that ended up taking a bit longer than expected ,only to realise everyone had left and we were the last ones there, like every friendship there is always that one friend that frantically panics when something goes off track, and that mate of mine is the lovely Shakora Sedick who happens to be a natural borne time keeper and, also whips us into shape from time to time.

 We got to the bus everyone had been waiting for us, worried sick!!Feeling special, important and cared for we drove off to our next destination in excitement. We got to the nature reserve and the weather seemed to be getting all gloomy but that was the least of things to get our mood and excitement down! We got to the Cape Point Nature
 

Reserve and it was so windy, we got blown over from time to time. Then we had to walk up this super steep hill and I was surely not prepared for the level of fitness that hill wanted from us, I was sooooo out of breathe that taking pictures of my friends and I was a distant thought .I don’t know how many pit stops I begged for, just to rest. My face was over heating and my thighs were burning utter and sheer death, I even regretted having the scrumptious dinner I sank my teeth in and devoured. But my friends were there loyalty and motivation in my pocket they cheered me on the whole way the best was when Mango who is somewhat like a brother to me,took me by the hand and walked with me as I was contemplating giving up and going back to the bus that was truly like a brotherly and sister moment right there 

When we got to the top that feeling of achievement and accomplishment was super filling. Then photographs were taken galore when we got there, if I could I would have camped out there. Experience was far too extraordinary.
