THE LIFE SCIENCE 151 FIELDTRIP 2013


 The Cape Point nature reserve  is the most beautiful place that I have ever seen!! The drive to Cape Point was very exhausting. On the bus we had loads of fun! we sang, dance and ate lots of snacks and just bonded as a class!!!!!!!! Then, the day started off very cold and unpleasant due to the rain but the scenery was still amazing, breathtaking and mind blowing. Our first stop was at the the museum in the nature reserve, where we saw the really cool old ancient artifacts and old bones from various animals this was really fun as we took pictures and different pamphlets to read about the animal parts that we saw, we also took pictures of us pretending to kiss and hug the dead animals

.Next, we climbed up the mountain , it was very windy and scary up there because the pathway was very narrow and I am afraid of heights but the view was to irresistible to miss. The view once again from the was really tremendously beautiful GOSH!!! It rained slightly but it was even more beautiful because of the rain

.This is also where we met tourists, and took pictures off them and I really could not understand everything or anything that they were saying but the look on their faces also tells me that they had a really good time and were just as impressed as me when they saw the view and beautiful nature.The next stop, we went to was to hike up the mountain to the lighthouse, this was also out last stop. When we arrived at this point we were excited to see the baboons, although I was scared it was fascinating to me because it is not something that you see everyday.Everybody took pictures of the baboons but nobody went too close as we were warned that we can be quit dangerous and are attracted to food

. We started hiking up to the lighthouse  and as we walked up we came across more Baboons and tourists from Russia, they were so happy to meet people who were from here that even they were excited to take pictures of us

.Walking up the mountain was very very exhausting but we were too excited to get to the top that giving up was not even an option! When we got to the top, everybody took pictures of what appeared to be the place where the Oceans meet. Next, we all wrote on the beeeg rock and the lighthouse, our names and the year that we visited the place. We spent quit some time on top at the lighthouse because we do not know when we would be able to reach that point again. this was memorable.We had to leave the light house to ensure that we reach the bus at time, when we got to the bottom me and my friends all went to the sauvenir shop that sold alot of cool African and indigenous clothes , toys and many more South African produced products.My friends and I wanted to purchase some things but bit was way to expensive and non of us could really afford anything at the shop LOL but it was still a cool shop.I really loved the outing and hope to go there again
