Hotel Belvedere Wengen

... de bomengrens was het pad ook niet meer zichbaar..
Rechtsomkeerd dan maar; Voor de 4 uur naar boven hadden we maar 1.5u nodig om naar beneden te kunnen komen..
Zucht nou ja. Volgende keer moet hij dan echt lukken!!!

De volgende dag hebben we dan maar genoten van de sneeuw en een heuze 2 meter hoge sneeuwpop te maken genaamd Werner :) haha!!

De laatste dag heb ik de keuken eens zeer goed aangepakt; alle kasten met ...

... were 6 bunks that you pulled down from the wall, and climbed a ladder to get to. It was kind of funny because the old lady ended up snoaring the same sound as the tiger cubs made at Kwantu...ahh good memories! Leanne set our alarm for 5:30am because our train was due to arrive around 6. Luckily we had a nice conductor guy who made sure we were up and gave us 'breakfast' which was a disgusting raisin bread thing. But filled the void for ...

Hello everyone,

This story starts with KB and I on our first and only sleepin car experience... From Rome to Interlaken... it was interestin, fun and well we made it! There were 6 of us in the sleepin car, it was tight, but at least me got a bed, we both had the middle beds... there was an old lady on the train that was funny... when she snored she sounded like a tiger purring! I think KB enjoyed it!
We arrived in Interlaken early ...

... on some prior ski trips to similar altitutdes. Perhaps it's due to the gradual acclimation via the trains, etc. However, back to the view... it was spectacular. If you enjoy mountains, it doesn't likely get much better than this. Our day was a fairly clear one as well.

When we arrived at Interlaken we then had to take an extended series of trains, lifts, buses, etc. to get to our eventual destination which was Schilthorn ...

... but the cheese was a different story. You know how we call parmesan cheese, “stinky cheese” in our house. Well, for lunch, Dad had the mother of all stinky cheeses! It smelled like dirty socks, but he enjoyed it. It tasted better to him than it smelled.

Megan, I found a cool shop to bring some surprises back! You would have enjoyed helping me pick out something special for everyone. They have cool ...

... jumped in, Kevin scurried back to land, I promised to jump in with Kevin, Kevin jumped in, then I jumped in. Swam quickly to a nearby dock, sun-dried/warmed. Discussed the hypothetical situation of dying if we touched the water. Decided we'd have to kill the two old, Swiss ladies next to us, inflate their organs and make a raft from those plus the uppermost planks of the dock, but ultimately concluded this hypothetical situtation was purely hypothetical and ...

... in the Alps. A hike from the top of the Mannlichen to Kleine Sheidegg is around three miles and mostly downhill. I headed out stopping to take pics and videos. A view of the North Face of the Eiger is with you the whole of the hike. It is amazing to look at the Eiger and imagine how crazy people must be to actually climb the Face. It is a sheer straight up rock face. After an hour and twenty minutes I reached Kleine Sheidegg and trained back down to Wengen. Rested and ...

... most Indians view it as a sort of utopia that is to be visited, if at all possible (not possible for the vast majority of them). But the abundance of Koreans we couldn't explain, even after we queried a few of them as to why they are here on mass. We noticed the dual English/Korean signs when we first arrived at the hostel but we never expected to be practically the only non-Korean guests in the whole hostel. Not that it was a problem for us. Of ...

... Video evidence coming. The train trip down the mountain was just as spectacular but by this time it was fairly late in the afternoon and our plans to get to Gimmelwald were becoming impractical. Unfortunately the Valley Hostel could not accommodate us but they rang around and booked us into the cabins at the campground. BIG MISTAKE. No cooking facilities, no fridge, outside toilet and showers, noisy neighbours, no view and uncomfortable beds. Not pleasant at all. Not a ...

... Interlaken the way we had come, all four of us feeling pleasantly sleepy. We stopped again at the supermarket, visiting its upstairs café for that cup of tea, and then purchasing something for dinner - we lost the other two girls in the shop and, neither group being sure if the other had already left, ended up making our separate ways back to the hostel. Ricki and I ...
