The day started off early as we started our journey up to Vlakkenberg Peak. The day was quite warm and the sun was beating down relentlessly. Many water breaks were needed. Along the way we encountered beautiful views surrounded by the mountains. There were not many trees around so we treasured any small bits of shade that we found. After reaching the peak we sat down for lunch. Upon finding a rusty pole that was on the top, Peter proceeded to wack around the ‘free tetanus’ and almost concussed Joel in the process.
We then hiked a bit further up and found a better rest spot where the scouters talked about complicated university stuff that I didn’t understand to which I just smiled and nodded. There were some cool little rock formations that we could climb around where Peter found some more ‘free tetanus’. We then began our descent and reached the bottom ready to go home.
