Day 2 - White water rafting

Evening all! We all had a load of fun today. Early start (up at 6am!) to leave here at 7.30 and get the train at 8.13. We headed to Spiez and from there down to Boltigen where we met our guides for our white water rafting. We were split into 4 boats, with 7 of us in each, plus a guide, going down the Simme river. We were very lucky with the weather, in that it rained yesterday so the river flowed rather faster and generated loads of rapids - that, in turn, created loads of whoops and laughter among all the Scouts. We had loads of battles between the boats, with lots of water being splashed between them. Around an hour of fun later and we had arrived at Darstetten, the end of our journey. We got changed out of our wetsuits and walked up to the station. We had lunch and an ice cream, then got the train back - arrived about 3pm. We've had free time since then, playing football and table tennis while avoiding the very heavy rainfall and dramatic thunder storm. Tomorrow we are all off up to Ueschinenhutte so there will be no entry then!
