Landhotel Interlaken

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 ...

... the people get off to hike at Klein Scheidegg and the mountains are very well organised for hiking with signposts everywhere with times to walk. The train stopped at Eigergletscher (2865 m) where the train stopped for everyone to get out and look at the glacier very close up. We also stopped at Eismeer (3160 m) before arriving at Jungfraujoch at a height of 3454m. <br><br>Our first stop was the dining room as we ...

... we really got bad snorers in our room. So much so Tom and I only really got about 2 hours sleep each night, but I digress.<br><br>We arrived last Saturday evening after a gruelling 9 hour train from Berlin. The first thing to hit our face was the crisp mountain air, and ******n it was some sorta nice. Tom and I looked at each other and went, right, where`s the hostel. Once again we had neglected to figure out directions to where we were supposed to be slumbering. After asking several ...

... amp; went for a drink with them, but they are now away, so we are left with someone who we have not met yet.<br><br>Lots of activities to do here, going to get bikes &amp; go for a cycle up the mountains this afternoon. Then trying to decided what we will be doing over the next few days as well. Its a really quiet place, totally different from Paris, but lots of backpackers about.<br><br>Speak soon x<br>

... the activities desk and booked our trip to SKYDIVE. All three of us did it. I would love to talk about the whole thing in detail but dont really have the time but I will just say that it was unlike anything I had ever done and was amazing (even the pieces of ice hitting you in the face as you fell through the clouds). So, now we are about to take a hike up the mountain I think and then get on our train at 3pm to head to Paris where we will arrive at about 930pm. Au Revoir, Aaron

... looked like glass. At first we had a little trouble finding our hostel, but once we did, we found our room and then went right back out to go get lift passes for the next day, reserve a ski lesson (for me) and rent jackets, pants, gloves, goggles ect. for night sledding and skiing. We were scheduled to go night sledding at 6:30 that night. A van picked us up (along with all the other American college kids staying at our hostel) and drove us up the mountain. When we ...

... and some very adventurous parasailers. It was really lovely and fresh up there. We felt lucky we had someone to take us there otherwise it's a part of Switzerland we probably would not have seen and enjoyed. There is also a revolving restaurant up there so you gradually get a 360° view. It's awesome, green, white, alive and very beautiful.

... wheel set up almost in front of the Muenster. There were also a number of other food and carnival booths set up around the city. I remember walking through one crowd which was so thick that you basically could only take a baby step when the whole group inched forward, and even then, your face was still pushed up against the back of the person in front of you. What really appealed to me about Basel was its historic feeling ...

... was a Vauxhall. I was impressed quite a bit, it was one of those Vauxhall Zafira, and as anyone will know from my IBM days I do have quite a thing for cars. This thing was very swift to say the least plus had criuse contrl so got me from A - B in double quick time. I know your thinking here comes the geekiness out of me. Any how I didnt get told off too much for having an accident which was good, but to be fair it could have been worse ...

... over. They had flown in to Amsterdam, stayed a few days, then come straight here. Then, something wonderful happened. Someone pointed out the window. All conversation ceased. Buildings, stores, and all other signs of civilization were gone. The grandest of snow capped mountains had sprouted up all around us while the train chugged along the edge of the most beautiful and serene of lakes. The sun was just setting below the horizon, seen through a tiny opening in between two ...
