Swiss Adventures

I am having a great time exploring Switzerland with my new friends, even if one of them is a bit strange a frequently insists on wearing this strange skirt he calls a kilt.

I have been to Lac Leman by Geneva and seen the big water jet. From there we went out to the countryside to a wine festival. There we met some very nice people, one of whom invited us to come and camp in his garden and let us use his pool house and swimming pool!

Since then we have been travelling round the lakes, sampling local wine and eating chocolate and camping by pretty lakes. I have met local Scouts, been to someones birthday party, learnt to make Rösti, met the secretary of the town council, been climbing and made lots of new friends. Last night I stayed in a real bed, made a nice change to being in a crowded tent. We are visiting Bern, the capital city today and then in two days time we will get to Kandersteg.
