After alot of early morning airport queueing, we made it onto our flight with minutes to spare (no time for breakie!); and have arrived safely in Kandersteg.
The coach ride from Geneva to Kandersteg brought on mounting excitement amongst the Scouts as they realised that the Alps are quite alot bigger than the South Downs!
This afternoon they have explored the Centre and taken a look at the Lotschberg railway tunnel, which is hewn from the peak behind Kandersteg. The tunnel carries car-carrying trains through the Alps into Italy.
All are now well fed, thanks to our fantastic catering team!
We thought you would like a couple of pictures, although they are really slow to upload from here. The first is of us all near the bridge after our stroll
and the second is our sumptuous accommodation at the CVJM Ferienhaus. The sounds really echo around so those that brought their lead boots will need to learn to leave them at the door!
Weather is OK for now - few spots of rain but sunshine in between. First day of slogging up mountains tomorrow, albeit on mountain bikes!
