For me the most worthwhile spot was Blyde River Canyon. I like
to say that I have the “Peter Pan syndrome” where I never want to
grow up, and this place looked exactly like Never Land. To be
honest I’m not even sure if this spot was on the itinerary, all I
know is that our tour guide kept mentioning how this cliff would be
worth the trip and he was completely right. From the second we
walked off the bus through the grass path, I knew this place was
different and when we got to the end, I instantly started to tear
up. This place, this canyon, was the place that without knowing I
was waiting for, my Never Land. It looked like an exact copy of
Peter Pans Mermaid Lagoon, the spot that is shown in the cartoon
when Peter and Wendy first come into Never Land. Here is where I
thought of my grandmother and how this place would be somewhere she
would have loved to see and I took it in not only for me but for
her as well. Here is where I knew I could stay a kid forever and
never have to grow up. On this canyon I knew that my biggest fear
of growing up would never happen, here I would always be Peter
Pan. As I looked around I saw the impact that Blyde River
Canyon had on everyone else, everyone was at a loss for words. And
as we gathered around and formed our “mini church,” I knew that
this place would always stay their hearts, as it would stay in
mine. You see, because at Blyde River Canyon not only did I find my
Never Land but others let themselves go as well as the ones that
they once loved go.
