27.07.2015: Day 7

Glacier crevasse

This day began, like every other day, at 8 o'clock we had breakfast. Most of us were tired but thankfully everybody was in time. After breakfast Justus continued in the exciting renewable-energy-game with us. We were all so proud of ourselves because we reached the goals we had set two days before. These goals include the increase of wind, solar and hydro energy and the reduction of nuclear power and oil drilling.

Our day got very interesting as we split into four groups and got to know each other abit more. We interviewed each other on four aspects of our lives, this included questions on our personal background, life goals etc. These questions will be collected and published by the organization.

Weißseeferner

Our day got exciting as we had different Austrian dishes at lunch, which included Kaiserschmarrn, Austrian Bockwurst and more. This got us ready for our next adventure to the Weißseeferner where we saw the glacier crevasse. The glacier was very cold and the path was very slippery but this didn't stop us from exploring the fascinating ice cave. We took a lot of photos in the glacier and some managed to also build a snowman. After the awesome experience we went to go wait for the bus and some of us bought souvenirs and postcards.

After the glacier experience many of us took a poer nap. We had a tasty potato soup at supper, which was followed by a big mountain of spaghetti. After the vanilla pudding we got together for the second to last conference of our simulation game. All in all it was a great day.
