Bellevue Hotel Interlaken

... back to Lauterbrunnen. We were using our Swiss pass that day and decided to see how much extra it would cost us to catch the cable car up to Grutschalp which was on the mountain above Lauterbrunnen. It was free with the pass, so we went up to a beautiful view over the town plus Wengen and the fog had lifted, so we had a great view of the mountain peaks. We decided to do a short hike along the path towards Murren and found ...

Day 1 – Saturday 12th September – We enjoyed another beautiful ride on the Glacier Express today, this time heading away from Zermatt and towards our next Swiss town of Interlaken. Donna had told me about the beauty of Interlaken so I was really looking forward to getting there and experiencing it myself.

Unfortunately Witek was feeling worse today, I guess the hike the day before didn't help his health. As soon as we got to our hostel at about 2pm he went to bed for a ...

... for 1 star place or they would give us train passage back to Paris.
Our savior was the garage mechanic, he called Avis and got them to transfer over our contract to one of their cars. Then drove us to the train stations so we could pick up the new car at the airport.

We finally get to Interlaken after midnight and when we work in the morning we were in this beautiful valley.

... train/bus station and miss the first train or bus we're trying to get on and take the next one a 1/2 hour or hour later. The new saying here is 'you better hurry up we're on vacation and not on a time schedule.'

Then we go somewhere to go hiking for the afternoon. The hiking is usually fueled by many fine swiss cheeses, croissants, granola, and chocolate.

I also never realized when I married Justin that I was marrying a slave driver ...

... on my knees. At least I did not land in the lovely horse manure that was directly next to the field that we landed on. We had to wait for two other groups to go, so we walked down to the lake. There was even an RV park next to the lake- the first one I have seen in Europe. I thought Europe was too classy for that, but you learn something new everyday. After watching all of the other girls hang glide down, I had to pay my total. 223 Francs later (about 200 dollars), I was ...

... the one in Vienna. Time to move on. I know many people who dream of coming to Switzerland... but don't bother if you have less than 200 dollars a day. Zurich has been the most expensive destination I've ever been to, which has precluded me from enjoying the real Swiss experience. On top of that, Zurich does not offer much at all for the tourist. You kind of need to get out of Zurich to enjoy the real Switzerland, which unfortunately, my budget does not afford ...

... Then I remembered that after walking around Zurich for two days...there's nothing to do! The sun came out around 5:00 so I decided to hop on a boat cruise of Lake Zurich. On said boat cruise I met a lovely stranger who took it upon himseld to inform me that he looked like Leonardo DiCaprio and he was looking for someone to sponsor him in America. He told me he wanted me to fly him to America and help him become an actor/model. I told him I was cold and went ...

... think is great as it will be so much fun to catch up and go drinking, and that brings me to the other thing i miss which is Stella, a beer i once detested and grew to love in my third year at uni. I want a pint so bad and they don't even sell it in the shops here!!!! Well I will bid you a fond farewell and for all of you that ask I will be flying back to the UK on April 14th so I expect a welcome party at Heathrow airport!!! Enjoy the photos. Sheff

... there, dude. I never believed my friends when they told me they blacked out, but now I know. Happened to me. ****ed up." Day 34 Today was officially Day 1 in my favorite place of all time. We begin at 7:30 AM when music suddenly begins blaring over an intercom. The eight of us yell and moan from the get go until I step out of bed, yank the wire straight out of the wall, then return to my sleep. After rising later, I head off to the shower where it's revealed I need a 1Fr coin to ...
