Gutten abend from Kandersteg

Hi everyone!

Well, we have arrived - sorry for the lateness of the hour in posting, but it has been a busy day. Once you left us we went through security, then lots of sweets were purchased, along with copies of the Daily Telegraph (for the free bottle of water).

Our flight left shortly after 8am and we nearly left Dave Hunt's bag behind - one of the ground crew was carrying a rucksack back to the terminal as the label had fallen off and it needed identifying. That was a stroke of luck!

Unfortunately April's bag was also missing when we got to Basel; hopefully it will be here tomorrow. We met Mick's friend Hans at Basel airport and he escorted us to a park for lunch then the train station, where we got the 13.01 double decker to Spiez. A half hour wait at Spiez then another train to Kandersteg, talking to some American scouts.

We walked up to the chalet and settled in. After dinner we went up to the International Camp Fire and performed a fine rendition of Singing In The Rain (quite appropriate, it threw it down earlier).

Everyone is now (hopefully) going to sleep. Tomorrow, instead of the glacier day we are off to the caves. W'll post in the evening, hopefully with some photos.

Goodnight all.

Dave
