We departed Munich this morning and made our way into the Swiss Alps. Coach days normally means everyone is always very hung over and for the first hour or two it's silent on the coach as everyone is trying to catch up on some sleep from the night before. Today was no different. Once we made it across the border to Switzerland we made our way into Lucerne where we got a Swiss watch and army knife demonstration. During the presentation there was a symphony of coughing fits, it was like a chain reaction. One person started coughing and everyone was coughing. All you could hear throughout the presentation was people coughing and laughing at all the coughing. It was quite funny.
After the presentation we got some free time so naturally most of us went to this cute little chocolate place to get some little treats. After our chocolate run a bunch of us ran off to get some gelato cause we heard rumours from others there was this cafe around the corner that had the best waffle cones as they make it fresh in the store. As soon as we got inside the store the smell was amazing, you could smell the waffle cones being made and I knew we just had to get one. The gelato and waffle come was amazing. Not the best gelato I've had but definitely the best waffle cone I have had by far. After the delicious gelato we hopped back on the coach to make our way into Lauterbrennan.
We got to our cabins and got shown our rooms, I am rooming with Markus and Hoang. The cabins were so tiny, probably the smallest I have been in all trip. We had 2 bunk beds that were connected to one another and there was virtually no room at all for any of our luggage. Those that were rooming with 4 people had a much bigger room, they had 3 bunk beds and quite a bit of space. Those that roomed with 3 were robbed of space. I dropped my luggage off in the room and proceeded to go and explore the campsite a bit. The views from the campsite were quite spectacular. There were mountains everywhere you look and beautiful waterfalls. Scenery wise this was the nicest place we have been to so far.
We had dinner in the contiki building and people started to drink, I wanted to take it easy tonight as my body was slowly started to shut down on me from all the alcohol and lack of sleep. I stayed around and hung out in other peoples cabins for a bit and then headed down to the bar. I took one shot at the bar and then went to bed cause I wasn't in the best of moods. I went to bed just before midnight. Our party night was tomorrow night so I wanted to save myself for that.
Until next time sexy people,
