Swiss Q Hotel Belvedere 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 ...

... is a mountain that rises 9,748' above sea level. At it's peak sits a restaurant called "Piz Gloria"'. Now a restaurant at the top of this dramatic overlook, which gives you a view to the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau peaks (all in excess of 13,000' and snow-covered, would be spectacular enough. However evidently the Swiss wanted more drama, so they also made it revolve. For those of you who are 007 fans, the restaurant was "blown up ...

... than we did. We got train tickets to go up to Grindelwald where we were going to go hiking from. Before we went up there though, we had to find a tourist information spot because one of my friends really wanted to go zorbing while we were there. Our study abroad program has a list of dangerous things that we arent allowed to do (hitchhike, ride in private planes, ride motorcycles, bungee jump, etc) so my friend had found the only thing in ...

... but was unceremoniously woken up by the hostel owner literally barging into the room and telling us to get out or book another night...we had again forgotten about check-out times! We threw all of our stuff in our bags, and the girls fell out of bed and we booked it out of there. We poor little nomads sat in the town center sitting on our bags trying to figure out a plan of action...Teresa and I took off for another hostel we ...

We were then supposed to take an overnight train to Bern Switzerland but I managed to **** that up royally and booked the train to Berne Germany, which is in the opposite direction... Jon was not impressed... and I only realized this 1 hr before our 10 pm train. So after hours of trying to rent a car (impossible during Oktoberfest) we got really lucky and found a car that needed to be returned to Switzerland anyways. So after a full day of ...

... to First. Third leg: First to Grindelwald. There is absolutely nothing I could write that would do the beauty we saw out there justice. In fact, these pictures don't even do the best of jobs. They'll have to do though. Enjoy. I'll try to write up little captions for the pics that need them New German vocabulary: "GUH-tsee". I'd say about 100% of the hikers we met on the trail today said this word to us. We've ...

... are surrounded by huge cliffs with houses dotted all around them and at least three waterfalls that look liek they're flowing right into the camp. Though a gap in the cliffs there are a few mountains still with plenty of snow on top of them and though it is the middle of summer, the breeze is cool and refreshing. Now if that doesn't make you want to go there I don't know what will. I wouldn't mind staying longer ...

... and the cows are free to wander all along the hills eating the grass. you know the bells they sell in gift shops, all the cows had those bells around their necks so that the herders could find them if they get lost. as we were hiking all we could hear were the bells and it was really funny to see a group of them walk by. if i lived there i would go crazy from all the noise. the air up there was so fresh and crisp and the views i have only seen ...

19th - 24th July 2007 Lauterbrunnen is a small alpine village near Interlarken in the Swiss Alps. To try to describe it in words wouldn't do it justice but here goes: It's set in a deep valley with sheer rock walls rising maybe 500 meters high with waterfalls plummeting from the top every so often. The greenest countryside is broken only by small villages dotting the valley floor and on the ridges, and the imposing snow capped Jungfrau, Shilthorn and Eiger mountains tower high up above... oh ...

... us. There was the yelling out of "Who wants fonduuuuuu!" the jumping around the room to take drink orders, or the host yelling at Edgar to go to a table and take an order. The two female waitresses both looked bored and sick of the men's silly antics. At one point we were told we wouldn't be allowed desert without someone from each table coming up and successfully blowing a long, Swiss, wooden horn. We all did ok until the host complained Edgar could do it better ...
