Gletscherschlucht Grindelwald

... de bomengrens was het pad ook niet meer zichbaar.. <br>Rechtsomkeerd dan maar; Voor de 4 uur naar boven hadden we maar 1.5u nodig om naar beneden te kunnen komen.. <br>Zucht nou ja. Volgende keer moet hij dan echt lukken!!!<br><br>De volgende dag hebben we dan maar genoten van de sneeuw en een heuze 2 meter hoge sneeuwpop te maken genaamd Werner :) haha!! <br><br>De laatste dag heb ik de keuken eens zeer goed aangepakt; alle kasten met ...

... mix need reviving. The weather was clear on the main view side and overcast on another. Evidently God didn't feel that the view and revolveing restaurant was good enough for us, so he threw in a couple of snow falls for good measure. Gotta love the guy!<br> <br>We made a couple/few revolutions, took a few dozen pictures, and started our descent. We decided, at the encouraging of Rick Steves, to stop off at the tiny, and I mean TINY ...

... atmosphere. And the libraries I frequent have tons of really interesting books on the topics I am studying, which is always a plus. And, it's pretty cool to walk around sporting a UN library badge. I always feel really important just walking through UN security like I have an important international mission that I need to research. Tuesday was also spent at the library, but I had lunch with a friend<br>from school who is also studying in ...

... did a small but nice hike in the mountains the next day. It&#8217;s crazy how you lose your hiking skills really quickly. I felt like i was going to fall over every step I took. All over the valley, we could see para-sailers in the sky, it would have been awesome to try except it the damage was at least $170 each... bummer.<br><br>http://picasaweb.google. com/lh/photo/_RXGGfa-cjNcaDADRk_4xA?aut hkey=Gv1sRgCMTOwqr-zZGObA&amp;feat=dire ctlink

We checked out of our hotel in St. Moritz and went to the train station to board The Glacier Express. It is the slowest express train in the world &#8211;it only averages 25 miles per hour. Had we taken the train all the way back to Zermatt, we would have passed over 291 bridges and through 91 tunnels. We only rode it for 4 ½ hours and passed through plenty of tunnels and over many bridges. The Swiss made spiral tunnels to help overcome some of ...

... the way up to 1600m beofre finally descing back to grindelwald. it had been quite a walk and despite raining and cold we really enjoyed the view and the selculsion of most of the walk. we were both drained and went to bed quite early. got up at 6.15 to go up to jungfraujoch - the highest train station in europe. luckily it was a clear day so we able to see for miles once up there. along the way the train stopped at various points for pictures ...

... for me, (Rob - she's not kiddin', we have enough ladies shoes to start a Clarks!!) and head back to town. The reputation it has for cleanliness is easy to see, the public toilets are in marble and clean and spacious, everything is heated and spotless. On the bus back to the site, I notice a horse and trap which you can hire to take you around, only this one is going solo with no need for human guidance apparently, I tell Rob and notice the whole town watching this lone horse ...

It was funny because when we were in Interlaken and talked to people that had been to Gimmelwald, they told us that it was even more beatiful than interlaken and we thought that they were crazy and that would be impossible. Welp, I was wrong. This place is absolutely amazing. I cant even put into words how stunning the views are here. We had to ...

... forgot (due to lack of sleep again) to give a member of staff some walkie talkies to take back to England. This then incurred the wrath of the management in London and a few choice words were thrown my way. I found this more than amusing as the level of management knowledge is pretty minimal, but I suppose that is the way it goes. Well am I still enjoying it? Yes and No, yes it is great fun, but now my brain is starting to demand some more intellectual stuff and the ...

... and watched the movie "Swingers". At 9PM we went downstairs to the bar. We danced and drank here a while and later moved down the street to a Tequila Party at another bar. We met a girl named Rachel and she hung out with us. We enjoyed the bar and the bonfire outside.
