The Pilgrimage Comes to a Close...

Today we continued our time of reflecting on the festivals and the personal experiences we had, and we did this by going out and finding a rock that reminded us of our time here or of the people that we met. Once we had our rocks, we split into our small groups and spent some time journalling.

After lunch we had the special treat of going up to Table Mountain, or for the local South Africans, The Mountain. We saw some breath-taking views of Cape Town as we went up on the cable car, and saw even more stunning views of the area when we got to the top. The real reason for our trip to Table Mountain was to erect a can of rocks to mark the end of the pilgrimage. As we each placed our rocks down we shared what it is that it meant to us, and it was great hearing from each other the journey that we shared. So now the pilgrimage has officially finished, but tomorrow we get to have a day off before heading back to Joburg and then home for many of us. We hope you have enjoyed keeping up with the stories and experiences that we have had on this 2010 Pilgrimage to South Africa, and we look forward to seeing what comes out of our time here!
