... The Hills Are Alive". You wouldn't fret looking like an idiot, because only the cows would be watching. That's the main industry at Gimmelwald, farming cows. The town is VERY tiny. Their park was about 10'x8' with 2 opposing benches. I agree with Steve that it's worth a quick visit, but don't know about that whole "If Heaven Isn't What It's Cracked Up To Be..." thing. I can think of other places I'd prefer to spend eternity as about one ...

... not on the list, which happened to be Zorbing. And Zorbing is essentially being strapped into a giant hamster ball and rolled down a mountain. Unfortunately, Zorbing was closed for the season, so three of my friends booked bungee jumping for Sunday afternoon. When we finally got up to Grindelwald and were ready to hike it was 2:30 pm... and it gets dark at 6. So we hiked up as much as we could before we had to turn back. Interlaken is a really ...

... in the basement floor...random. ha! Then we caught a train to Interlaken and arrived pretty late (I wanted to shoot myself for getting on the train so late at night...because we couldn't see the scenery on the way to Interlaken!) But we've been here for two days now, and we leave tomorrow night. The night we arrived we ran into some of our friends who were staying in the same hostel....it was quite frankly, one of the worst ...

... next township called Zweilutschinen. It was beautiful to see the peaks and the blue sky. I then hiked back.<br> People are nice around here, they wave to mean through their windows. The hostel owners are also very, very nice. I also sat with some Koreans and we shared meals (there's being much better than mine). When I returned from my hike the two Americans offered me some of their Mexican dinner. It was very yummy. All in all not a bad day.<br>

... have a computer, two cell phones, and a camera to keep charged. Hmm . . . I wonder if someone makes a nice compact Euro converter to turn one plug into 4. <br><br>Breakfast was OK (the excellent cruise ship breakfast spoiled us for all the other breakfasts on this trip) in the hotel. Sandy proposed a 6 hour hike and was quickly ...

We were then supposed to take an overnight train to Bern Switzerland but I managed to **** that up royally and booked the train to Berne Germany, which is in the opposite direction... Jon was not impressed... and I only realized this 1 hr before our 10 pm train. So after hours of trying to rent a car (impossible during Oktoberfest) we got really lucky and found a car that needed to be returned to Switzerland anyways. So after a full day of ...

... of walking around. Today will mostly be just relaxing and not driving! <br><br>Update: <br><br> The past couple of days in Switzerland have been perfect&#8230;we spent our first part of the day at the campsite just catching up on things, doing the laundry, cleaning out the fridge (which Matt got working-yay! No more ice!), reading, and just enjoying the views. After lunch we took a bus up to the Trummelbach Falls, where there were 10 different waterfalls inside of the ...

... cool mornings.<br> It seemed that we picked the only boring route out of Switzerland. I use the word boring loosely, as it was scenic as anything. The way in had been interesting and mountainous. Here, we left the mountains within an hour, about the time we passed Interlaken.<br> Then it was pretty much all flat and smooth, through Bern and Zurich. Still, we passed Lake Constance and much green rolling countryside.<br> We had a ...

... mountains were right there. It was kind of hard to believe.<br><br><br><br><br><br> We set off up the other side of the valley to find a place for a picnic. Eventually we found such a place. Again, we seemed to be in a pasture, as we were surrounded by cows. They were contented cows with bells, happily munching on the grass around us. The great peaks towered over us on the other side of the valley. Below us, farm houses dotted the slopes. At might ...
