Switzerland2023

Hello, Hello, Hello! We started our day with breakfast which was a large selection ranging from eggs, toast, muesli, and lots of fruit. After we had our breakfast, we made our lunches to take out with us today. We then gathered together to head off on our walk (half hour later then planned because of the amount of times we ran back to get stuff we forgot).  We finally set off on our walk (hike) to the waterfall.  Although it was a very very very long walk, we spotted lots of different things on the way, like cows, bells, mountain goats and a funny looking water fountain.  We took lot of breaks along the way till we finally made it to the waterfall.  The waterfall was magical and amazing! We didn't realise how big it was till we were stood at the bottom of it. It was huge! The water cascaded down the mountain splashing us, cooling us down. We sat down eating our lunch overlooking the view of the falls.  After the longest walk of our lives, we took the red bus to ...

It's our first full day in Our Chalet and so far the entire trip has been amazing! Switzerland is such a pretty place, and we have all really loved exploring today! This morning, after our breakfast, we had our very special Pinning ceremony where we all came together to make our promise and talk about the duties to the world our Girl Guides. The pinning ceremony was such a special event because it reminded us of the fact that guides in not just a club in our local area, but a global movement which unites us with 10 million members across the world. We all received a special Our Chalet pin badge which we only receive when staying at a world centre and can't be purchased online or swapped.   After our Pinning Ceremony, we had a tour of Our Chalet and got to learn about the history of it, which included the founder (Helen Storrow), old furniture, donations from different countries and much more.  We then took a walk down the very long hill to get a bus to Adelboden wher...

 What an amazing day we have had! This morning we all gathered at the Christ Church in Chislehurst. Our journey began at 5am when we climbed aboard the coach. Our journey was filled with happiness and beautiful views, our journey on the coach lasted for an hour. When we arrived at Heathrow Airport we checked in our luggage and went through security, we spent an hour in the departure lounge where we bought breakfast and walked around a few of the shops.  When it was time for our flight we walked to our gate and boarded the plane. The plane journey lasted for an hour and forty minutes which went faster than originally anticipated. We made our way to the train station, we travelled out of the airport and hopped onto a train which was very long:two hours we skipped off that train feeling good that it was over and got lunch (sandwiches) we took our last train and enjoyed our forty-five minute journey. This took up a lot of time yet we were happy after all of the long-winded transpo...
