28.07.2015: Day 8
Glacier lake
Today we got up at 7 o 'clock like every day and we had our last breakfast at 8 o'clock in Geptaschhaus together. After breakfast we went to the seminar room to discuss the final version of "COSPRED 2015". The final result of the ship accident was, that we sunk the burning tanker. Nobody was hurt because we saved the crew. The platform was also not damaged and there wasn't any oil spill sothe Arctic Sea isn't polluted.
After we discussed the several points of the document we had to vote for or against them. To sign the contract every participant had to agree on every part. At 10 o'clock the dcoument was signed by every party. During the thirty minute break the boys slept in their room, but the girls played games and gossiped about boys in the dinner room.
After the break we talked about our actions against global warming, how to inform the people around us and what we can do in our schools to raise awareness about environmental problems which we learned about in the I.C.E. - Camp 2015 in Gepatschhaus, Kaunertal. Everyone was asked to tell his or her feelings about the presentations, hiking tripsm organisationm the Gepatschhaus, the other participants and what can be improved. Everyone was happy about the Gepatschhaus.

Some girls complained about the difficulty of the hiking trips, for the others it was optimal and the boys and the Veggie (Lucia) would like to hike more. Everyone like the organisation. The presentation were informative as well as interesting. After this the leaders gave us a lot of free time from 12 to 15 o'clock when tea time had taken place. We all finished our two for two interviews and the Brezel (Astrid), Ayanda, Brother Justus and Veggie (Lucia) played a card game outside.
During tea time we ate Apfelstrudel with vanilla sauce or whipped cream. It was delicious. Just after eating Lucia, Kamil, Merlin, Esra and Kaius went to visit the glacier gate for the last time. During the trip just below the tongue, the boys found a small lake in between the rocks. Of course the boys wanted to swim in it. Esra and Veggie left, leaving the boys alone in the lake. The water was about 6 degrees Celcius, so it wasn't too cold. They jumped into the water. That was for them the most refreshing moment of the camp. On the way back Kamil, Kaius and Merlin didn't get enough adrenaline, so they climbed very steep rock walls.
Kaius and Kamil just broke their arms. The girls watched them risking their lifes and took pictures.Happily the crew made it back to the Gepatschhaus in the perfect time when the supper begun. Today we had soup and as the main dish was typical Austrian, we had "Kasnocken" with salad and the desert was pancakes "Palatschinken" with chocolate topping. Merlin ate three salads...
After this last tasty supper we hided our presents like Eastern eggs, and the leaders gave us our certificates. We are really happy to be a part of this camp but we are also sad that we are returning to our home countries tomorrow. We hope that we will revise the COSPRED document in ten years in Gepatschhaus...
