Fairwell Switzerland

Well all good things must come to an end to make way for more good things. As my time at WOSTEP was up there were a few spare days prior to my departure from Switzerland left for a little bit of adventure. I have made some very special friends during my time in Champreveyres and I thank each and everyone for the very special experience we created together, and as not previously mentioned thank you to the ladies that helped me get ready for graduation and generously loaned me all my fantastic getup, where would I be without you.

So in the few days waiting for results life was a bit calmer and we managed to get down to the lake for a bit of swimming before dinner and the odd brush with nature walking throught the bush and meadows, places that should have been discovered much sooner. And once graduation was over and done with we managed to venture a little further afield. Anna (from Iceland, partner of Robie from school) organised for John and I and Robbie's brother and girlfriend to catch the train and go a do a wonderful walk at Crux du van, which just has some amazing views and scenery. Unfortunately the day we were up there the alps were completely obscured by cloud except for a couple of the very highest tips. Not to worry as the rest of the scenery and of course the company was well worth the trip.

No farewell would be complete without a visit to our favourite bar and pizzaria so John and I headed to Tony's Bar for one last pizza and beer. Then on to Cafe Du Cerf where some other very good watchmaking friends and fellow housemates from Champrevyres joined us for the last horray!! And no tears even from me, what an achievement. I then got a leaving parade at the train station the following day where a group joined me to say goodbye, I am so priveledged to have met these people and had there support during my time in Switzerland an experience to be remembered.
