Jasmine Apartments Grindelwald

... 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 ...

This morning we set out for the famous Swiss Alps. Think Sound of Music. Yes, I know that was set in Austria, but think of the setting nonetheless. We took a morning train from Zurich to Interlaken, where we would spend the night. The approach into the Alps was breathtaking. Technically it's breathtaking in more ways than one, because at the higher altitudes it does become a little more difficult to breath, but not as noticable as I've ...

... deal with couch surfers is that couch surfers help out at the hostel to earn their keep (and stay for free). So, we washed the breakfast dishes, swept and mopped the floor, vacuumed a few rooms, etc. We became friends with the girl who was working and she found us the key. The room we stayed in was the "bouldering room." Basically, it was the attic of the hostel and the peaked ceiling had rock climbing holds all over it and the ground is ...

... ever...they were knocking down brick walls which was hte opposite wall in our hallway, and started work at 8 a.m. And then live music starting at 9 pm and going til midnight...our room was right above it and our beds literally shook because of the volume! We spent the day exploring the city, chocolate shops, and picnicking...for sunset we hiked up a small mountain and watched the sunset over the Alps! It was beautiful...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 ...

28.8.08: Day 4 - Grindelwald This morning we woke up to our best view yet, and maybe the best we will have in Switzerland. With a perfect blue sky as the backdrop, Eiger stood there, waiting for us to wake up. I snapped a few photos before ever getting out of bed and started my day with some free breakfast. If you know me well enough, you should know that a free breakfast means only one thing: free lunch too. We filled ...

... There were gorgeous views of the mountains and lakes, so we did a little bench sitting, reading, looking, and listening to French horns playing in the mountains. Monday, we rented mountain bikes and took an intense, but wonderful bike ride to Wilderswil and then along the Aare river into the mountains to Gsteigwiler, Zweilutschinen, and finally Lauterbrunnen. It was such a ...

wow Grindewald is amazing! we took a train from Lucerne to Interlaken, then another train from Interlaken to Grindewald. we are up at some of the tallest peaks in all of the Swiss Alps where at the very top there is snow year round. we were going to take a train to the highest train station in all of Europe called Jungfroujoch but it is an all day destination, costs $145, and it was cloudy up there so we didn't go. we didn't get to Grindewald ...

Foi um dia pesado e duro, para as pernas. Apesar de não estarmos em grande forma física, decidimos subir o monte até _. Fizemos cerca de 1 km de altitude. Subimos dos 700 aos 1700... A visão lá em cima era única. Um vale tão profundo que não se via e, à nossa frente, as altas montanhas cheias de neve. Lá estava o jungfrauch. O almoço foi um delicioso spagheti à bolonhesa. A descida, apesar de cansados, não foi de comboio. Foi a pé. Muito mais rápido que a subir. 1 hora ...

... energy (I assume they get paid well.) Our meal was made up with Cheese fondue as a starter (we were shown how to twirl the bread in the cheese to cover it and then eat it care of one of the ladies on the tour saying she would help, our man host almost shoved the piece of bread covered in scalding cheese down her throat!) At one point we were offered to try bread dipped in the hosts Glacier Water then dipped in the cheese, I have no idea what it was but the alcohol ...
