Sorry for last days of silence, we had so much to do! I appreciate every activity and try to fully devote my leisure time to preparations for various lectures or workshops, so yesterday just couldn't update you :) Anyway, thanks a lot for your support, it means a lot to us!
Since Thursday we have some older Young Explorers in the Expedition Center. Some of them (all of them) I knew from the community website and believe me, to meet these inspiring people was a great experience, I just hope they will stay a bit longer than predicted :) In fact, we share only evenings, as our days are full of activities. We have already tried climbing and standup paddle boarding - a lot of fun! The important thing about paddle boards is perspective: body position is more natural than in a kayak and obviously we can see much more, wider, further than in a kayak. First few meters are a torture, keeping balance is important, but after another fall into the water you don't really care any longer and just enjoy the experience.
As I previously wrote, we learn new stuff everyday. Eventually we had a chance to meet THE MAN and he keeps on teaching us as well. This evening we had a chance to present our project proposals (possible projects to be executed during the Expedition to Nunavut) and automatically we got some feedback on our ideas. Every group has prepared something exceptional, different, I thought our ideas would rather be similar and got surprised! Positively surprised!
I won't go to bed now, it's a waste of time here in Chateau d'Oex, I better join the others in our common room. Good night! Just keep in mind one more thing and it's that Saturdays are here secretive...
