Willkommen Switzerland

hello, we are in Interlaken Switzerland, which is nestled in the swiss alps. Arriving on the train, both of our jaws were hanging open at the dramatic mountain views. The next day after hearing about all of the opportunities to bungie jump, hang glide, etc, Jons eyes were bugging out of his head in excitement. We are definatelz at the best hostle yet, the warm welcoming and liveley Balmers Herberge. Its a huge place and tons of socializing happening all the time, we have meet some great people so far. Today we went for an awesome hike to Gimmelwald (thanks maryann), a small village at the top of a mountain. It was by far the best hike we have ever been on. besides the incredible backdrop of the swiss alps, glacier included, we also saw many other sights along the way. There were amazing gushing water falls, steep drops, pretty chalets, and cows with ringing bells at the top of the mountain. We also met an adorable cat that followed us for lovin. We avoided the tendedious hike downhill by taking a cable car in a quick descent to Stechleburg.

Yeah I made a big mistake when I went to Milan and spent 5 days there before meeting up with my friends, instead of going up to Switzerland to meet them. If you want a contact there, let me know, she was in Basel last I checked.
