I will let the pics do the talking....interlaken was absolutely beautiful. also expensive! so we didnt stay long. paragliding= running off a cliff and gliding in the wind! check it out!!!!

I don't even know where to start. I guess you could say that I didn't know how badly I needed a place like Interlaken until I got here. I've been in city after city after city. Who knew that my favorite place on this whole trip would be a small, quiet town in a valley amidst the Swiss Alps? Nick, Matt, Del, and I drank most of the way there. Nic...

The rain was still coming down when Jonas picked me up at the Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof on Sunday. He had big news - he might be able to study in Berlin instead of Erfurt. The downside was that he'd probably only be able to spend one night with Christian, and then he'd have to jet back up to Berlin to sort out his uni situation. The drive to Wetzik...

Chris and I are now in Interlaken, Switzerland. Were staying at Balmers Herberge, a hostel that has pretty much everything (laundry, bar, restaurant, etc) EXCEPT free wifi. And their keyboards are weird, I cant find the apostrophe or exclamation point haha. It was nice here, but more for single types who like to party. Interlaken was cool - we r...

From munich we embarked on a day of riding trains to get to Switzerland. On the first train out of Munich we met a retired german police officer. He didn't speak much english but we had a great conversation regardless. At one station we were about 30 km from Liechtenstein and contemplated taking a bus across the border but the timing to get back...

We are currently at Balmers Herberge in Interlaken, Switzerland. After getting here we immediately wished were staying here for at least a week. Surrouned by the Swiss Alps, this place has many mountain adventures to offer. Tomorrow morning we plan to go canyoning, check it out at outdoorinterlaken.com. UPDATE: (pictures are on a disposable came...

Extract: "Ahhh, Noooo!!!!" I said as if diving through the air to catch a bullet fired at the president. It was too late... --------------------------------------- --------------------- ======================================= ===================== Preface: As the trip rolled along, the break neck pace took it's toll. When we reach Switzerland, a...

OK so we made the plan to have breakfast and leave our hostel in the morning by 930p to try to catch a few options of trains. at this point we had decided to head to either Como, Italy or to Lugano, Switzerland and have that be our base for the evening vs. Milan which we had to go back through to get up that way. but we didn't really want to be ...

10 hour hike up Yung Frau, amazing.

We can finally say with confidence that we have a favorite city when someone asks us! Interlaken was unbelieveable. Not only was it a perfect picture everywhere that we turned, but we had the time of our life!! We were ecstatic as soon as we stepped off the train and inhaled the fresh, pure, swiss alps air... until the moment we stepped back on ...

So Switzerland is bucolic. I know we say this about nearly everywhere, but WE REALLY LOVED INTERLAKEN. It was seriously one of our favourite places. Interlaken is small enough to overlook, in a country that is small enough to overlook, but it was well worth the price of admission. Switzerland is an expensive country, but those Francs were put to...
