LENKtastic II - 6th day


After our long casino night yesterday, the whole camp seemed to be dead the next morning. However, after hearing “call me maybe” for the 6th time even the last boys were annoyed enough to wake up. Afterwards, we had a good nutritious breakfast and were informed of our program.
In the morning we had a session of our chosen sport programs. As our group only consists of ball sports we can only report of these events. To warm up we played one of the most complicated games of catching we ever experienced. Then we played some volleyball, danced hip hop and had a good time generally.
When we came home we ate lunch and prepared ourselves mentally for the next stage: Alp Wrestling. There we also met up with the biking group again. Then we travelled to St. Stephan to meet up with a professional, who would teach us how to “Schwingen” (wrestle). There we were divided into 2 groups the wrestling and the ones who played cards. The card players had a very one-sided game due to magical circumstances which helped the one side to play much better than the other. When the climbers joined our group we card players joined them to wrestle. There we were shown some techniques to throw our opponent down and we were destroyed by the professional who beat us easily. Nevertheless we got to wrestle and had a few good matches.
Then we went home for supper where we all wanted to shower because we were so dirty due to the wrestling. However for dinner we had a feast for the 1st August, the national holiday of Switzerland. We had Raclette and an awesome bread and now we are about to go fire some fireworks. Hope we have fun.
