Sunday morning I woke up early again and Tiin picked Roman and me up so that we could hike the Säntis. We met Chanti, Jrene, Jayme, and Daniela at different parking lots and headed to Appenzell. The seven of us parked at the bottom of the mountain and started our hike around 9:15am. We were lucky because it was a really nice day for hiking. We stopped a few times on the way and sat down for a drink at one of the restaurants on the mountain. After the pit stop, the last part of the hike was my favorite. It was pretty rocky and gorgeous all around and about the last 300 feet of the hike is basically climbing up the side of the rock wall with cables for support on both sides that you can hold on to. We made it to the top by 1pm and I would definitely do it again.
At the top, we took a few pictures, had a snack, and then took the cable car back down to the bottom. We drove back and all had to shower and get ready quickly because the Devils were meeting in only an hour for a going away dinner for me. Luckily, we all made it in time and headed to The Pirates, which is about a 35 minute drive. At dinner, there were twelve of us: ten girls from the team, including me, and Tiin and Roman. To our surprise, Jacky even ended up making it all the way from Mexico! We were all a little confused, but then she explained that she was home for a week, I think because she was presented an award, and happened to be going to The Pirates the same night at the same time. How lucky!
The team gave me a ball they all signed, a Swiss flag, and a Devils sweatshirt. I am going to miss them all so much. Saying goodbye after dinner was pretty sad, but I am so happy that I got the chance to meet every one of them :-)
Tiin drove Roman, Nadja, Chanti, and me back to our cars and then Roman and I headed back to the farm. Now it is time for me to get some sleep because tomorrow is a busy day for me. Goodnight!
