Day three, Wednesday 

Today we completed many activities. In the morning we took breakfast and after finished the third session of youth parliament aboard seminar. The leaders were very helpful & the tables were alive with hopes for the future of Swiss youth living outside of Switzerland. After we took lunch & went to go swimming in the lake, an excursion very much needed as it was 34° C. There we climbed rock walls on the water, and had a wonderful time! It was then 15.30 and we needed to catch a train to Mont Pélérin. Unfortunately we didn't make the train but we were able to take another one half an hour later. It was an hour train ride where we created questions for when we meet Doris Leuthard, an occasion everyone is excited for! 




After the train we folks tram and then a cable car up the mountain where we thought we would take a short walk to our destination. It turned out to be a longer walk, but only an hour so there wasn't too much complaining. Once we got there, it was gorgeous and the view was fabulous. On the way back we listened to music and were in high spirits, excited for dinner! We had dinner at a pizza restaurant & had a very nice time there as well. We then walked down by the Freddie Mercury statue, posed, looking out at the twinkling view. Afterwards we went for ice cream and continued out walk until it was time to go home and walked towards the train station. We arrived at the train station, moments too late, as we were able to kiss the train goodbye & a one hour late hello. The wait was fine as we listened to music & bonded over cultural overlaps and differences in the singing world. We took the train home and many people slept to help them move on from our very exciting day, to a very exciting tomorrow where we start youth debates and meet local political parties!
