Wow – it seems to have been a while since my last contact, so I’ll play a bit of catch up and tell two stories today. I’ll begin at the beginning – Interlaken. Now this is certainly the most foreigner filled (aka tourist) place that we have visited; but that is for very good reason….it rocks! Interlaken literally means in-between two lakes (and lots of mountains and glaciers too). These lakes are the cleanest in Switzerland. The fantastic location means that it’s ideal for a large number of sports (skydiving, paragliding, canyoning etc). We could only afford the cheapest – rafting; but this was immense. I certainly wish to go back one day – but with plenty of money.
On our 3rd day (NB: def the most time we have spent in one place) we visited Brienz, a town on one of the lakes. We saw a waterfall a little way up a mountain and decided to go for a free shower. Now somehow we missed the waterfall and soon found ourselves heading to the top. Well, we couldn’t very well turn back, so found some sticks and made for the summit like proper hikers. It soon became apparent that we were the only muppets doing so - everyone else was going downwards (and annoyingly we later discovered a train that takes you up = doh!).However we did finally make the top, and enjoyed a deserved cold beer 1202 m above sea level. To make up for our foolishness we found an even better waterfall we could drive to; and did so on our 4th and final day before leaving Interlaken.
