Day 9: July 3, 2024
An action-packed day which started with a 30-minute uphill climb to reach Our Chalet, above the picturesque town of Adelboden. Although it threatened rain as we snaked our way up perilous roads and around hairpin bends, when we reached Our Chalet and lined up with other troupes from Edinburgh and Glasgow, in Scotland, the sun came out and we celebrated our badge-pinning ceremony in brilliant aunshine! We listened to an interesting presentation on the founding of Our Chalet and were given a tour, before heading back down the hill to meet our coach, and head into Adelboden to pick up some lunch, and then on to the lakeside town of Interlaken. There, the rain caught up with us but didn’t dampen our spirits, as we got to indulge in some more shopping! What a surreal environment, with mountains surging up behind the houses, hotels, eateries and shops, and crystal clear glacial water surging beneath the bridges.
Dinner took us to our favourite restaurant of the trip, Stadthaus, where we enjoyed a combo of dressings on homemade macaroni cheese, followed by yummy apple strudel. A brisk walk back to our coach, and we made our way back to our hotel for some well-earned rest, before our final full day in Switzerland. Gute Nacht!
