Day 19

Day nineteen, finally! We all want to come home so bad by now. We woke up at 7:45. Breakfast  at 8. And then we climbed into a bus heading an hour away to a town called Interlaken. We climbed out of the bus after being fOrced to sit next to strangers, and walked down the street to a Chocolateir and watched a short 20-minute tutorial of chocolate making.  It wasn't very interesting for us though after the 5-hour chocolate tour in Brussels, but Ms. JEN enjoyed it.  We split up after that and munced on our lunches and splitting up into white water rafting or hiking. Almost all of us chose the rafting, and so we headed to the rating place. The cute little hut run by all New Zealand, shirtless,  men was very quaint and cozy.  We got dressed in our wetsuits and shows and climbed in the van to the river.  For the next hour we were being instructed and "fun-facted" until our wetsuits were soaked with sweat. Serving ourselves out in safety gear and slipping down the bank to our rafts. Seven people were in our boat plus the guide; Sarah B. Alina Morgan Cat Emily Ms. Loriannn, and me (Mikhaila). For the next 3 hours we fought through the ice cold rapids, laughing and learning and listening to instructions from the guide.  At one point we were at a war with the other rafts. And Sarah B. turned out to be in every boat at one point. We finish with a dip in the lake and leave tired, aching, but happy. We finished the day with shopping at chocolate shops and a long bus ride home.
