Hotel Sonnenberg Grindelwald

Weekje sneeuw en RELAXEN<br><br>Wat een heerlijke week!!<br><br>Hij begon wat gehaast en het bezoek aan de SEATdealer (knipperend dashboardlampje); was ook niet echt bepaald gepland..<br>Onderweg veel werkzaamheden op de duitsesnelweg wat tot de nodige vertraging zorgde maar .. waardoor we ook van mooie herfstkleuren hebben kunnen genieten.<br>Na 12uur rijden kwamen we in het donker aan in het wel vertrouwde huisje Wengi.<br><br>De volgende ...

... 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 ...

... area, surrounded by cool mountains and sitting between two lakes. Halloween is definitely better spent in the US, but Interlaken was definitely a great alternative. This morning we got up and helped around the Hostel and then walked around Interlaken before my friends went bungee jumping. Unfortunately I didnt get to go watch because it would have been 20 dollars just to go up and watch, which would have been silly. So I took the train home. <br>

I'm here in Interlaken and loving it :) This'll be a shorter, unedited summary of the past couple days...sorry for any spelling/grammar errors! We arrived late at night on Wednesday after spending a long cold night in a small London airport. We had been hoping to head into London to see the sights at night during our 14 hour layover, but the airport turned out to be 25 miles outside of London.. So we flew into Zurich and spent the ...

... 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

Day 3: Lausanne to Grindelwald So originally we thought we were going to head to Interlaken today, but I woke up early and couldn't find any open beds in Interlaken online, so we made reservations for tonight and tomorrow night in Grindelwald and for the nights of the 29th and 30th in Interlaken! Today started out a little earlier than yesterday. Neither of us slept well last night in the hostel, but I think we're still adjusting to the time change ...

So yesterday after we got back from the rafting we showered and went downstairs to get some beers and cheese fondue. It was all delicious! Tipsy, we went to town and tried to find ice cream. Got that and it was awesome. Today we got up early to go hiking and first relocate to yet another hostel (ugh)...AlpLodge. And then it started to RAIN!!! NOOO. I was so angry because I really wanted to hike! The clouds were so incredibly dense all over ...

... and saw the brightness most awe inspiring full moon i have ever seen in my whole life. it was nestled between 2 peaks of the Alps and black clouds swirling all around the moon like you see in a painting but never in real life. the moon was so bright there were moon rays visible through the clouds like the sun's rays can be seen through clouds during the day. the moon almost didn't look real it was so unbelievable. i would love to come back ...

... by the force of the water. Up to 20000 litres per second pummels its way down and the raw power is awesome. Standing just a few feet away from it at some of the closer vantage points is an exhilarating and wet experience. The water is only 1 - 2 degrees so even though it was 30 degrees outside, inside was much cooler. Cool!!! Next up we took two cable cars to Murren, a small village on top of the 500 metre cliffs above Lauterbrunnen. Murren boasts some great views over the valley and is ...

... umbrella and spraying water on people out of a bottle. A group of Korean tourist also came in calmly at one point for dinner and by the end of it Edgar was running around with a huge Korean flag on his shoulders and they had them up clapping and chanting to what I assume is the Korean soccer team song. (One the ladies in the group were also dressed up in a cow suit and we all did a conga line around tables and out the door into the street as well.) Over all that ...
