We had an early start this morning, everyone was up and running at 0600 and we went off to breakfast at 0700. At 0800 the bus was waiting for us at reception to take us to the chocolate factory (2.5 hours by bus away), on the bus everyone except Zach H was fast asleep for the whole bus ride!
As soon as we arrived at the chocolate factory we rushed through the boring 'how the chocolate is made part' and then raided the chocolate shop. In all we bought 28kgs of chocolate between us!!!!! The boys had huge smiles on their faces.
It was time for the cheese factory, but we took a little detour, we went for lunch in the small town of Gruyere and a small visit to Gruyere castle. After a short break for lunch, we walked to the cheese factory. We went for a short tour round the factory, had a taste of different aged Gruyere and bought some souvenirs from the shop.
After another bus ride...this time a bit more energetic...we arrived at the campsite. We went straight to our rooms to unpack and put the souvenirs, cheese and chocolate away for safe keeping. At 1800 we all went for supper, we had cabbage soup, and rice with some chicken mix which was really really good. We also discovered that Alec is a reallllllllyyyyyyy slow eater ;)
As soon as we finished supper, we had a little inspection of the rooms, AVSL James was leading this inspection, the rooms were quite decent, although 2 smelly PLs hadn't washed and smelt like dead rabbits...not to mention names but just to give you an idea...one likes planes ALOT and the other likes bicycles ALOT! ;)
After the inspection everyone went off to play a short game of footie while the smelly two had a shower.
We are currently in the meeting room listenning to a short description from each scout of how there adventure here in Kandersteg is going. Scott is the star of the night!
Tommorrow we will be splitting up in 3 grous, 1 group for SKYDIVING!!!!!! 1 group for rafting and 1 group for climbing.
Goodnight!
Post ya later!!

Hi everyone
ReplyDeletewhat a pity you had to go to chocolate and cheese factory so early in your holiday. Hopefully we'll be lucky Max and Zak won't eat it all and we'll have a taste of it.
Max hope you have your shower gel in the wash kit?!!!
Enjoy!Mummy Jon & Nanna xxx
