The gardens were a feast for the eyes. The students also learnt about the fauna of the area. Students enjoyed these activities immensely.

The next day, students geared themselves up for a trek to Gun Hill Point. The students were very enthusiastic and started the trek with determination to reach the top. Once they reached the summit, they saw the mountainside and all the places in Missouri through a telescope. Gun Hill Point had a lot of interesting games and shops. The students enjoyed themselves playing games like “shoot the balloon” and throwing hoops. They also had refreshing juices to revitalize themselves. After that, they returned to the hotel, where they had lunch and rested for a few hours. Then, accompanied by the teachers they went to the mall road where they bought gifts and souvenirs.

The students danced to their favourite songs and had a lot of fun. The next day, after breakfast they boarded the busses for the return journey. Enroute, they halted for lunch.
