Our Chalet and our trip to Switzerland

This week we continue our trip to World Centres to Our Chalet in Switzerland.
Our special guest is Karin. She is from a region in Switzerland called Appenzell.
 

She taught us to yodel!

Time for our edible craft! Tonight we are making chocolate fondue.
Switzerland is well known for it's excellent chocolate. Karin says it's because the cows produce such good milk which makes good chocolate.
You can dip almost everything! Prepare your extras before you start melting the chocolate.
Instructions for melting your chocolate chips-
Put your bowl of chocolate chips in the microwave.  Melt on high for 30 seconds. When the microwave stops, STIR with a small spoon.
Melt for the second time on high for 30 seconds. When the microwave stops, STIR again. It should be slightly melted now.
For the last time set the microwave on high for 30 seconds. When the microwave stops, STIR and all the chocolate should be melted.

We are lucky to have another Guiding World Centre in this country.
It is called Our Chalet. It is in Adelboden ( a town south of Bern, the capital city).

You can travel there with a group or apply to go as a participant on your own.
Like all World Centres,  you can even volunteer there.
