Leukerbad

Before golf started, Ally and I had a few days to just hang out. We had moved into the Junior Villa (at camp) with all the other staff that stayed. Living in the villa was so much fun. It made me feel like we were in college, because we were all living together and sharing a kitchen. My favorite time was meal time because everyone would be sitting in the kitchen together, cooking food and eating and just hanging out. It was also nice to have a few days off to rest and just hang out. On Wednesday, before we started working at golf, Ally and I decided to take a day trip. First we wanted to go to Interlaken, but it was too expensive, so we will save that for next summer. Instead, our friend Zach told us about a small town called Leukerbad, where they have hot springs. Duncan (from Canada), Saoirse (from Ireland), and Doug (from Washington) joined us. We took the Funiculaire down to Sierre and then a train to Leuk; from there we took a bus up the mountain to the small town of Leukerbad. The weather was kind of cold, so we were really excited to find the hot springs. There were two different places to choose from, and we chose the one with the water slides! At first, we thought there were going to be natural hot springs in the mountains, but it was more like a water park. There were several different pools with jets and things, and a few slides. All the pools were warm, so it was very relaxing. There was also a room with natural spring water; it was so hot, we couldn’t actually sit in it, but we soaked our legs for a little bit. After a while, our hands and feel were very pruney so we decided to call it a day. We walked around town and had a little lunch before heading back to camp. We didn’t take any pictures of the hot springs, but you can only imagine how amazing it was to be relaxing in a hot spring and staring up at the Alps : ) Oh Switzerland!
That’s it for now!
