After an amazing zero hours of sleep I'm back on the Contiki coach and headed to switzerland! At least i'm finally in my own clean clothes! yay! I sleep tons on the coach (which will become quite the habit for me) but when i do open my eyes for 
a few min here and there the scenery is beautiful! When we finally get there we're given free reign to wander the town of lucerne (where everyone seems content to spend their time buying chocolate and army knives). It's a really pretty town; the water is so clean you can see straight through it! We walk over a few bridges, hang around some swans for awhile, and then head off to the hotel. It's my last night rooming with Elise and we get a little sad as we prepare to head for dinner.

It's my last night rooming with Elise and we get a little sad as we prepare to head for dinner. The food at the dinner is pretty decent, the most amazing part being the swiss cheese fondue. mmmmm. (and it comes with free beer, YAY!) but what makes the evening is the entertainement!! They play EVERYTHING! from the water glasses, spoons, saw, BROOM, to the traditional "riiiicooola" 
style horn thing accordians and yodeling (the yodeler, cybil, becomes dan's first love of the trip). And evendentially quite a few american songs were ACTULLY stolen from the swiss (not really, but this is what we pretend when american songs came on during the 'authentic' cultural dinner). The chicken dance is also played for the first of MANY times to come. Some people get to do things on stage (dan blows a horn, kyle and woody yodel and then get out chugged by a middle-aged woman, and i go up to dance with james) and then for the finally a maaaassive conga line is formed with the key figure of "the crazy dancing old man" who ends the night with a nice little dance with Daniella and heaps of pictures taken by us. All around we have a faaabulous time at dinner.

All around we have a faaabulous time at dinner. But the night is still young! And first we head to a classy little establishment where evidentially instead of buying individual drinks they'll sell ya a full bottle of whatever you're drinking. 
I go in with what becomes my some of my favs (christine, dan, jen, and desiree) for a bottle of citron vodka which we drink on the rocks with some lemons to suck on. woo. Desiree gets hammmerrrred. Dan helps take her home, and we miss them when we head to the next club.

Next club - FULL OF SAND. the first thing we do is check our shoes and then head to the sand covered basement for a beach bash. Way fun! We all dance like crazy, everyone seems to be kissing e
veryone (i have a brief stint with a swiss dude but opt to rejoin my contiki friends) and then when it's far too late and we're all completely exhausted we head back to the hotel. There a few of us hang out on the roof for a bit since it's such a nice night out, but eventually we call it a night and head to bed.
