Lovin Interlaken


Ahhhhhh

Interlaken is a small city in the middle of (surprise) two lakes and surrounded by the Alps. It was raining when I arrived, and it was a 20-minute walk to my hostel (thank you, Joel, for that umbrella!). It was pretty dreary out so I kind of hung around the place - nice and cozy, a winter cabin feel. I met a nice Korean guy and we ate fondue together. Good, but a bit too much bread and cheese for me! That night I went out with a bunch of Americans from my hostel. One of them was a cute Army boy ;) And we managed to stay up until 5. Sadly checkout was at 9:30, so you can guess how much sleep I got!

That next day, though, was gorgeous! The rain had stopped, the sky was blue. I dropped my bags off at the train station and just wandered around for a while. If I had been more awake, or had more time, I would have hiked up a mountain or something. I even considered skydiving - Interlaken is THE place for adventure sports - but it was way too expensive. Ah well.

I was only there for 24 hours, but I was lovin Interlaken.

From there I spent a night in Zurich, but I was so tired from the night before I didn't do much. I wandered around a bit the next day, though, before heading to Munich, which is where I am now!
