... werden we verast met een dik pak sneeuw!! <br>Een wandeling van Riederalp langs Blausee, vervolgens door de heuvel-bos-rug naar Rieder Furka was een wandeling van 4 uur, met onze schenen in de sneeuw, was een goede start van onze wandel vakantie:)<br><br>Zeer fijn waren onze mooie nieuwe waterdichte en dus warme bergschoenen!<br><br>De volgende dag stond ondanks de nieuwe sneeuw welke de nacht gevallen was, wederom de Eggerhorn op het ...

... of a barn. I would have given anything to have set that up for her in advance (notice I said 'for her') and seen the look on her face. Something tells me that might dim her ardor for barns from then on.<br><br>We toured/'walked around Gimmelwald for the requisite 15-20 minutes, took in all its sights, and continued our descent into Interlaken, where we had dinner, took in some Cow Zen, had a nightcap and hit the hay- although not literally.

Guten Tag!<br><br>I just returned from a night in Interlaken, the capital of extreme sports. I'll recap my week and then delve into those adventures.<br><br>On Monday we officially started our Independent Study Period and had to turn in our take-home final exam. So, I spent Monday morning in the library. I really love going to the library here, especially at the Graduate Institute, because you're in a room full of students, and it is a strangely ...

... has been lovely while we've been here..perfectly clear and refreshingly cold. This morning I got up early and went to Mass at a church I found the afternoon before...it was all in German or Switza-Deutsche (as I was told it was called) and there were so few people that they simply put chairs up in the sanctuary around the altar. It was interesting, but so nice to be able to go to Mass! When I returned to the room everyone was still ...

... to walk. Suppose to clear up but will be 1 overnight and 3 in teh morning.. a high of 8 tho! To think, we were in shorts and t shirts 2 days ago! Now i have all my clothes on. The roof is up now but will be down tonite and kathleen and i top and tailing to keep warm.....

... M) to admire the views as the sun went back and forth from behind the clouds.C Saw some of the extensive avalanche protection up close (we read that major parts of some of the villages have been destroyed in the past) and checked out various ski lifts&#8212;trams, gondolas and chairs&#8212;all over the place. Looked down on ...

... 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

... quickly moved inside when it started to rain a bit. Luckily it cleared so we were able to enjoy our last views of the Alps at night, which they had lit from the bottom to highlight the waterfalls. The next day we headed out, which was not quite an easy task! Due to charging our laptop on the leisure battery, we quickly found out that when the leisure battery dies it doesn't cut off, but instead drains from the main battery. Matt walked up and the British guy who he ...

... had thought of this as a yes or no question. It turned into a grave mission. The parts guy, a serious middle aged man, ordered me, with a bit of urgency, to bring the vehicle into a bay near the parts department, so that the situation could be properly evaluated. He looked at it and pronounced the situation 'Swierich', or daunting, shaking his head. He went into the back and came back with a filler cap. It did not fit. This was the ...

... to the south, we could see Jungfraujoch, a somewhat easier way to climb a mountain. At Jungfraujoch, a train spirals up right inside the mountain, to a point near the top. There, the train stops and an elevator takes you right up to the frosty mountain peak. The only thing we could see was the building perched on the spike of rock. We had wanted to go up there, but the tickets had all been sold out and there was no way for us to visit it. When we ...
