... 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 ...

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 ...

... a bit too quick.. the boys pooed themselves!<br><br>Overtook a bus blind&#8212;crazy mofo......it was blind for me but the lads were shouting at me to go, oooppppsss naughty!<br><br>Stayed in Aprica, Nice hotel...now by this point, food wise, we are getting fed up already.....pizza, pizza, pizza, they love it!! I guess that&#8217;s Italy for you. Unlike Calais this was a quiet night, sat in Cristallo hotel bar chatting amongst some of the other team members.

... sceptical. Anyway after a good few hours of wine tasting and a few laughs with some characters we came across we took our sly bottle of wine &amp; headed for the birthday celebrations. Bronny had called a friend earlier in the morning to see if he was in town as he lives near Zurich. He later called back to say it was actually his birthday &amp; he had booked out a little cafe in town to celebrate &amp; we should come along. So with our bottle of ...

... to the station at Klein Sheidegg. It is an incredible location for a train station--a mountain redoubt above tree line beneath the awesome North Face of the Eiger. At Sheidegg, we board the train to the Jungfraujoch, where we begin to appreciate our 200 chf. The carriage offers plush red seats and a flat screen narration of our journey up, into, and through the mountains. The train was crowded, and we shared seats with an Indian ...

... as many updates and personal emails willl probably go neglected just so you know! There is not much other news from the day it was mainly a self guided tour day and we may try some fondu tonight then one of our groupies has an interview at 9pm our time so we can#t have too crazy a night :) OH! I did get to try a swiss playground. So far I have seen/tried one in every country. The slide was very strange I will have to show you all pictures when I ...

... I knew that I liked it. I found it easy to navigate, and the place just had a certain buzz that automatically put a smile on my face. Since I couldn't check into my hostel until 4pm, I deposited my luggage in a locker and went out to explore. The city is rather compact and all the major sites are within walking distance from the train station. The lake was fantastically blue and reflecting a brilliant sun, and with the ...

... through the old part of Lucerne, with its narrow, winding streets was such a treat. Turn each corner and surprise! There are two more streets&#8230;which way to go? We had lunch at a small outdoor cafe. I had goulachsuppe mit brot. (goulash soup with bread). It was delicious! <br><br> I was able to get off by myself and take more pictures while she strolled around and gawked (her word) at the beautifully decorated building ...

... lake, and I wished I could go on one. Then we went shopping, first at the stores by the Lion Monument. I bought a wooden Swiss House music box for my sister and brother-in-law, and a musical clock for myself. It is made of wood, and shaped like a house, has flowers painted on it, and plays "Edelweiss" every hour on the hour-when I wind it, which is rare, because it is so noisy. We visited the Lion Monument again, and for lunch we found ...
