Group 1 Reflection for Day 2

The ice cave was a great experience for all of us. We took a cable care ride up the mountain. In the cave, we had to endure freezing temperature below 0°C and climb a total of 1,400 steps up and down. It was too cold for some girls and they almost wanted to give up. However, wit h the encouragement of the members in the group, and extra clothing given by the members, they were able to complete the hike. Positive values were displayed throughout the journey. We helped each other to overcome obstacles by showing care and compassion.

Salt was called white gold during the Celtic times. This had brought wealth to the Germany’s economy. From the salt mine visit, we learnt that play can be incorporated into work. We have fun learning as the tour consisted of many approaches, a boat ride, sliding down the tunnel and watching the movie presentation. We learnt the importance of salt and how much effort had been put in to obtain it.

The climb in the ice cave and the experience of the salt mine was a one in a life time experience. We had fun learning and at the same time, the experiences had enabled us to understand the history of salt and ice formation better.
