19. Cederberg Day 1

On Monday, all the exchangees went on a camp to Cederberg, the camp is called the Post-Matric mini EPIC. Cederberg is a mountainous area to the north of Cape Town. All the post-matrics and exchangees gathered on Monday morning in front of Bishops' chapel. We drove to Cederberg in two small school buses. It was a three-hour drive to Cederberg and we stopped halfway through at a petrol station with a small shop where we bought food. The last hour of our drive was over dirt roads through the mountains. 

We finally arrived on top of a mountain. We were told that we had to cycle the final 23 kilometers to our campsite. We all got on our mountain bikes and took loads of water as it was really hot. The cycle took us about an hour. When we arrived at the Sanddrif Campsite, we set up our tents.

Then, we all got into our swimming costumes and we walked to Maalgat, where you could jump off cliffs. The highest cliff was about 15 meters high. It was really cool to jump off that one, though it was also quite scary. 

That evening we had chicken with vegetables for dinner. We sat around the bonfire and it was really cool.
