Hotel Sunstar Grindelwald

... de bomengrens was het pad ook niet meer zichbaar.. <br>Rechtsomkeerd dan maar; Voor de 4 uur naar boven hadden we maar 1.5u nodig om naar beneden te kunnen komen.. <br>Zucht nou ja. Volgende keer moet hij dan echt lukken!!!<br><br>De volgende dag hebben we dan maar genoten van de sneeuw en een heuze 2 meter hoge sneeuwpop te maken genaamd Werner :) haha!! <br><br>De laatste dag heb ik de keuken eens zeer goed aangepakt; alle kasten met ...

... 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 ...

... the Montengro Mission to Geneva. I got to see the Ambassador of Montenegro speak AND the Director-General of United Nations of Geneva. On Friday I went to a great lunch with my girl friends and one of my friend's parents who were in town and visiting. It was fun to recap all of the semester's adventures in story form to her parents. That afternoon I had an interview with the project advisor to India at Terre des Hommes. It was a great interview ...

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 ...

... and another day of biking around the entire city, we set off at midnight to drive on the Autobahn to Bern. So instead of spending the night on a sleeping train, we took turns driving and sleeping (thank you Alex for the wonderful neck pillow!). <br><br><br><br>We drove into Interlaken around 9, into GORGEOUS views of mountains and lakes (thanks Jess!!). Because we were pooped from almost no sleep, we spent most of the day sleeping ...

... really tough going. I could hardly breathe & was going really slowly - poor Ian, I definitely held him up (esp. since he didn't get his bike ride!) But finally we got there. It was a tiny town (just a train station & a couple of hotels really) at the foot of the massive Jungfraujoch, where you could catch the train (through a tunnel in the mountain) all the way to the top! We decided not to go up as it was a bit pricey (and we'd already done the Zermatt one ...

... I quickly got adjusted and went off to take a shower. The shower on my floor had no lights. I had to go to the floor below to shower. And - oh goodie - there was no hot water. Someone in the hallway warned me that none of the showers in the building had hot water. After a very cold shower, I headed back to my room. After getting into my pajamas, I decided to sit quietly and meditate for 10 minutes before going to sleep. I heard voices in French - but ...

... damn penny and more. I spent the entire train ride hanging out the window taking pictures....managed to snap about 100 photos this day. I literally couldn't stop because I was seeing things I couldn't believe were real. This place is literally more beautiful than anything I could have imagined in my mind. More beautiful than anything I could have created an image of. I know, I know....I can't stop gushing. All I can say is you can look at pictures but there is ...

... hiking. Somehow, we're apparently out of shape, in comparison to the way we were in Alberta - we could hike for hours with no problem. Now, even though we walk for several hours every single day, hiking was somehow really difficult for us. It was worth the sweat for the views though. Our last day, we had planned on doing another hike - you can take a gondola halfway up the mountain and hike near the top for some ...

... about an hour to have a looked around the local shops before diner. I found Interlaken a wonderful place, very peaceful compared to London and Paris and the locals were friendly (ok so they were trying to sell you thing at the time...) One shop I found myself in had a wall covered with all sorts of cuckoo clocks, amazing things. Luckily too expensive for my budget (I stick to budgets?!?) but I did buy a magnet shaped like a cuckoo clock. In the shop there was also ...
