A virtual trip to the Swiss alps

Our residents enjoyed a virtual trip to Switzerland last week. Megan, our student nurse, had the brilliant idea of creating an itinerary involving passports, maps, a tasting session of Swiss chocolate and discussion about the country. Some residents had visited the country: Colin had cycled the Alps whilst Margaret and Muriel had been to Bern as well as Lake Geneva. The group discussed the history of Switzerland, it’s national dish (rosti), the Bernese mountain dogs that come from the country, plus the Swiss economic and military history. It was very interesting to listen to everyone’s memories. Colin told us that he cycled up the Alps in the early 1950s on a bike with only four gears! Margaret told us that “I love Swiss chocolate and I enjoy rosti as well – although I’ve not had it for a number of years.” Thank you to Megan for leading the session and all her preparation. We’ll hopefully be travelling virtually to a new country soon.
