Day 7 - Rafting and Chocolate

Today we went rafting and the 16 and overs went white water rafting. For many of us it was a new experience and very exciting. Almost all of us got wet and we ended up swimming in the lake in our wet suits. We had an amazing time but it was quite petrifying as the water was rough.

We had spam in our sandwiches today which not many of us were keen to try, however most of us ate our sandwiches and were pleased that it tasted much better than we expected! We then had a very special experience at a chocolate shop, where we got to make our own chocolate and learn how Swiss chocolate is made. Finally we went on a quick shopping trip and bought lots of chocolate for ourselves and our families. We came home and had an interesting Swiss themed meal with home made fondue. Lovely way to spent our last day! Good night, sleep tight everyone! We're off to enjoy our pyjama party.
