In this weeks Language Excursion the theme was all about the Environment. We went on two different excursions. The first one was to Rondevlei nature reserve. Joy showed us around the reserve, told stories about the hippotomuses, birds and plants that live in the reserve. Interesting because Rondevlei is located in the middle of the city area.

The second excursion took us to the fire department of Table Mountain nature reserve. They have around about 20.000 hectares of land to protect against the fires during the fire season from, which lasts from November through March. Clinton showed us around the base, with its fire trucks, the helicopters and the quarters where the firefighters sleep if they are on call during the weekends.
