We slept right through the night on the coach, well not quite sleep, rather waking up every 5 minutes because of a bump in the road.

At about 7 am we stopped at a Service Station in Austria for breakfast and a refreshing “leak” as the coach driver described it.

We set off at around 7:30 am and we watched Motor Mayhem. Everybody on my row could not see because Dr. Fenn had his head in the way. Jaw’s was the next video we watched and after that we started to watch Drop Dead Fred; by this time we were in Switzerland. We stopped by a river to have lunch, which was rolls and cheese. We set off from lunch to the campsite which took and hour and a half. We got to the camp around 3 p.m..

We got everything out of the coach and put up camp on our plot, after which we had to cook dinner. What I had to do was peel 2 buckets of potatoes with the help of Andrew, David and Matt. This would have been an easy task if we had potato peelers (but we did not).

After 2 hours of peeling we finished and had tea. After which we went out to town. We had to be back at 10 p.m. so when we got back, guess what, the Leaders were not there. They were at the pub. We waited, waited and waited and they still were not there. At 10:30 p.m. they turned up. We had a drink of hot chocolate and went to bed.
