Monday 4th October. The long trip to the Swiss Alps.

We started the day at breakfast at 6.30am. The bus was leaving at 7.30 to begin the 10hour trip to the swiss alps. The trip was broken up into two and a half hour slots. with first a 15min break then a half hour for lunch and then another 15min break. We played get to know each other games, which helped alot, because i kept forgetting everyones names and they put a movie on for us as well Coach Carter. So all in all, it didn't seem like such a long trip. We arrived into a small town at the bottom of the swiss alps at 5pm. A train up to the top of Mt Rigi where we would be staying took a half an hour, and how it got up this hill, im still trying to figure out. it was so steep! but the views were absolutly magnificent. Switzerland is a beautiful Country. We checked in with just enough time to have a shower before dinner. Our rooms where amazing again... A huge comfy bed, a television, hot shower and heated towel rack, we where in heaven! Dinner was included in our tour with a buffet of german food, as we where staying in the German part of Switzerland. (There is also a french part and latin speaking part.)  A few drinks with our table after dinner and time to get to know some of our group and then to bed!
