Angela and Claudia have arrived back from Switzerland. We’re glad to have them home. Susan sent this picture when they cleared customs.
One More Sleep
We heard from the girls, they are at the Transit Hotel at the Zurich Airport. They have a 7:00 am flight from Zurich to Amsterdam and then it’s on to Toronto. They are scheduled to arrive at 11:45am. Susan will be off to meet the girls, as Gillian and I are going to the Kevin Pillar Bobblehead Blue Jays game.
Here are some more Instagram posts from Twinkle. Visiting the Medieval Castle in Oberhofen.
One last photo from Our Chalet this morning.
They went to a village festival and Angela and Claudia were able to enjoy some candy floss.
Hanging out in Zurich.
Sounds like they are all looking forward to coming home tomorrow.
Day 12- Adventure Park
Today we went to a place where we could zip line, jump off a bridge, and do some high ropes. It was very fun, especially the jumping off the bridge. We also were able to climb up the actual mountain and I reached the top of my rope. The extra activity we could do was the pendulum swing for 20 Chf but it was thundering so unfortunately we didn’t get that option. We also had Swiss night tonight and I saw a really cool cloud.

Day 11- Program Day
Today we had a full day of Programme. I started a fire with only one match, talked about body positivity, learned about how we can contribute to help our environment, and learned how to use a compass. The Programme wasn’t too bad except that it is really hot in the sun. At night we had the international night but only 2 countries were represented (Canada and USA). My group did a skit and I was Howie Mandel.

Day 10- Our Chalet
We took a 6 hour train and bus ride to get to our chalet. We then had to walk 20 minutes up the mountain to get to the actual Chalet. The walk wasn’t too bad as the view is quite nice wherever you are. The stars are also really vibrant and the staff and welcoming.

Day 8- Neuschwanstein Castle
Today we headed to a castle and a cheese farm. We took a van and went on the autobahn and went up to 150! We then headed to two churches that were both exquisite. The mountains around Munich are so beautiful. After the churches we went to a cheese farm and ate cheese and meat and got to pet goats and rabbits. Then we headed to the castle! The tour was short as it was an incomplete castle before the king died but the sight of is was amazing. On the way back we stopped in a field for more pictures and the police came and talked to the tour guides but everything was okay. This was one of the best days yet!

Day 9 – Austria and the sound of music
I know I have skipped a day but I will upload it tomorrow!! Monday was the sound of music tour! We thought it was a bus but it was actually a rickshaw, which is a where they push you around on a bike. It was so fun and a beautiful way to see the city. We went and visited some historic buildings and visited different places where the movie was filmed. A lot of it is “movie magic” to make it seem really fancy. I drank some minyan water from a little well in the city. The tour was great and they drivers were really nice. Tomorrow we are off to Switzerland so it won’t be too busy. We love and miss everyone!
