Park Mattenhof Interlaken

... 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 ...

... 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 ...

... improve<br><br>While waiting for the weather to improve I made friends with a Korean girl (Hachong) and showed her how to cook my secret potato recipe. For some reason this hostel is almost entirely full of Koreans! It is apparently advertised on some Korean website somewhere. All the signs are translated into Korean! People have been calling me Hawkeye!! <br><br>Hachong and I played a bit of ...

... snowboards. The staff informed us that the amount of snow they were currently experiencing was rare for the last few years and that this time last year the resort had little or no snow with mostly green visible. We only had a few of hours before the last gondola back down and then made our way back to Interlaken and our hotel to thaw out.

... and said that I would have to come back to spend the time in the mountains. With that, I was off to Interlaken. As I watched the glorious Swiss Alps pass me by, I used the time to contemplate life, love and everything else.I guess I got alot of my cues from nature and those amazing glacial rivers. It is a fact that a river gets to the ocean eventually. Sometimes it merges with other rivers, sometimes it has deviate its path. Other times the water churns like a great natural ...

... out the martin and margreth huber, and sons micheal and Johannes are lovely, kind, patient and orderly people (slightly different to the last crazy family) which is a huge relief. Daughter is in France still but I'm sure she's nice too. But my other hosts for this time, Christa beer and family are not impressed that they don't get me and christa surprised me by being quite open about this with martin (as she is such a polite and nice lady) so I am going ...

... except that I was disappointed. Even the food wasn't that spectacular. We were in a beautiful town with lots of stuff to see, but we were kept inside to learn about Germany's garbage system (no kidding) and different German greetings. (Ok, admittedly we did a bit more than that, like role-playing, and we got to meet some pretty cool people, but honestly, couldn't we have seen the castle ruins, too? I could see them from our meeting room, for pete's sake ...

... of the water. And the giant chess game obviously - captivating. Worst things: The bears/haribo incident. Return Visit? I'd been here previously with my parents so technically it was. But a good one.

We took a train to Interlaken in Switzerland to do some hiking in the Alps. However, the season was a bit early, the snow hasn't melted much in the high mountains. We took a cable car from Grindelwald, then hiked toward an ...

... to a different train. Del and I were sure to exchange addresses and phone numbers (he's not internet savvy). I've been traveling with this ******n nutcase for a week now. He latched onto me in Munich and has barely left my side since. I was sorry to see him go. The rest of this Adventure won't be the same without him. He is the best friend I'll make here. I suppose it's fitting we said Goodbye at the Switzerland border. I miss him already, but the memories will last a lifetime.
