On 3/31, my room awoke a bit late. We got dressed and packed quickly to join the rest for breakfast. Our tummies were filled with hotel croissants and cappuccinos. All 80 of us walked to the beautiful Swiss train station where we took a short train before beginning our longer journey to Salzburg, Austria. On the train many people slept while Claudia and I listened to podcasts. After being amazed by the stunning alps I sketched a picture of my view out the window. We then used my sketchbook to draw portraits of each other where I have to admit Claudia beat me significantly.

At around 4pm our train halted into the station we filled out and I was lucky enough to have my suitcase carried on and off by the glee club. We arrived at Zum Hersen hotel where we got dressed up for dinner. In our fancy attire we arrived and ate at Sternbrau. I had the turkey with apple strudel for dessert but others enjoyed goulash and chocolate cake. With a full tummy I ended the night walking around the beautiful quiet city on a Monday night before returning to bed to prepare for tomorrow’s concert.
