Since our flight was delayed, we didn't quite as long as planned to explore Zurich, but we gave it our best shot. Come to find out, most places in Switzerland do not take Euros, so those that needed cash went to the ATM or to the bank. Then we walked around some.
Next was lunch - meatloaf and pasta. We drove through the Alps and ate at a small resaurant called Parkhotel in Wangs, Switzerland. We were almost too tired to eat, but we told the students that they had to eat at least half of one slice of meatloaf and half their pasta.
We then drove to Klosters and boarded a motorail (train) to get through (literally) the Swiss Alps and head to Scoul. The train traveled for 11 miles through the heart of the mountain into the Engadin Valley.
We checked into our hotel and had about an hour until dinner. It almost took that long to for us to get up the elevator to oru rooms. I don't think more than 2 students could fit in the elevator (with their luggage) at a time.
Dinner was pizza, which was actually pretty good, salad and apple strudel with vannila sauce. Students ate MUCH better than at lunch.
After dinner we went on a walk-about (Sorry, my Australian is kicking in. We had a kiwi guide). Our New Zealand guide was explaining what we would be doing during our white water rafting adventures tomorrow. Afterwards, it was a little freetime in the very tiny village and off to bed. I think the students had a nice, relaxing evening and a good sleep. Breakfast isn't until 8:00.
Tomorrow - white water rafting!!
