Being on raft was an amazing experience. It was sooo fun, we were the first raft out (there seemed to be some misunderstandings as to where we had to be 😅) and so we got to watch all the other rafts coming out onto the vlei, while we watched, Oliver played music (meme music – sticking to our theme memeworks). It was raining and our raft decided it wanted to grace us with the presence of rain inside the raft so we had to make a plan to fix the leak. There were lots of fun STAs for us to complete (Saskia made an awesome stop motion video/movie) and there were some mind boggling ones too.
The night was one of my favourite parts of being on raft. We had to take night shifts and watch to make sure our raft wasn’t sinking and also try our best not to fall asleep. My shifts involved us attempting to play uno on the floorboards outside (we borrowed it from another raft who sent it over via canoe but we decided not to play it cuz it hadn’t been opened) and then we played 20 questions and took many photos 📸. The next day there was the canoe race which Oliver and MK took part in 👏👏 and did very well. The rest of us (Julia, Avila, Saskia and me) watched from the raft, we couldn’t really see them but it was fun watching. Eventually it was time for us to come back to land and disassemble the raft (so sad 😢, everyone worked really hard to build it).
