Today was probably the most relaxed day thatwe've had so far. We all got up whenever we wanted, except for the 3 people that went up to Jungfrau, they had to leave by 7:00 am. We had another wonderful European breakfast that included and egg cooker that apparently required you to ready directions before using... who knew, and we all went our own ways. Many of us decided to go shopping before setting out while some wanted to leave as soon as possible. Ther was a store that engraved swiss army knibes that was probably the biggest hit. The shopping strip itself was kind of mediocre, aside from the one most of us bought knives at, the majority of them were by definition tourist traps (full of overpriced, pointless trinkets). Lunch was on our own today, a big group of us went to the coop and bought food to take up the mountain. We climbed a short ways up and had a picnic whicle staring in amazement at God's beauriful works of art layed out around us. From there we split off into smaller groups. Some went on random hiking adventures, while some just went back to the hotel to journal or just relax. By around 6:00, everyone was back. A large group of us played scum while we counted down the time till supper. At 7:30, we had and amazing meal from wonderful salads to calamari, to ham. Dessert was also amazing. There were small donut holes filled with fruit filling and cream puffs. There was also tiramasue, and ontop of all that, there was a platter of cheeses and one of fruits. None of us left hungry. At 9:00, we had a random mini concert in the lobby and the owner was so pleased by it that she brought out white wine for everyone without charge, it was a wonderful day. It's getting late and we only have a bit of time left here, so goodnight.
