Friday the 27^th September we went on a field trip to the Cape Point Nature Reserve for our Life Science practical. This was an exciting and thrilling experience to get out of class and explore the wonderful beauty of nature. I was absolutely taken aback by the beauty that Cape Town holds. It was my first time visiting this nature reserve and after this field trip I can confidentially say that it will not be my last visit. From the beautiful fresh green leaves to the bronze brown bushes and shrubs that grabbed my attention at first. Then to all the animals that caught my attention. There were silly baboons sitting around looking for a meal to snatch. As well as the calm and collected ostriches nibbling on their food and not to forget the giant seal lazing at the tip of an enormous rock in the middle of the ocean. But It was then when I fell in love with an amazing view of the beautiful roaring ocean. As I walked further down along the shore I could just smell the fresh salty air, I could taste it tingling on my taste buds. This accompanied by the crashing of the waves against the rocks. My heart was sold, I officially just fell deeper in love with Cape Town and these beautiful surroundings. But before I could leave this beauty it was only fair to hike up the mountain which overlooked the entire view, just to sit there absorb and reflect on this beauty. Seeing nature left uninterrupted and at peace warmed my heart. From this experience I would like to become more Eco friendly and love the Earth we live in. I know appreciate nature and my planet more. Besides the beauty that we were blessed with I also and an amazing time with all my classmates , taking pictures and just being in the moment , it felt like a little moment of freedom as we all forgot about everything that surrounds us and just focused on this moment of being happy and appreciating nature. I will cherish this moment forever. I love my life and I am in gratitude for everything and everyone that surrounds me J #Blessed <3
