Interlaken and Gimmelwald, SWITZERLAND

Saying goodbye to the beach and our comfort in Italy was very tough. We headed from the cinque terre, to Switzerland. It took four seperate train rides, and almost seven hours to arrive in Interlaken. Its a lot how people say it is, the trains here in Switzerland are much more calm, clean, very on time, and are much easier to ride. The trains went by fairly quickly and we headed to our hostel in Interlaken. The small city is so beautiful, and the alps are in our laps! We had a good dinner, played some ping pong with some guys at the hostel from Australia and Boston....then we headed to bed. This morning we woke to clear skies and amazing views. We headed to the VERY small town (if that) of Gimmelwald, perched high in the Alps. We took a train, bus and a Tram/gondola to the town. We are now at a very low key mountain hostel that stares right at amazing mountains. Today we have relaxed and done a bit of walking around...and tomorrow we take another tram to the tip top of the mountains which should be great! We head to Paris on Tuesday, and then head home. Cant believe how fast this trip has gone by!!!

No thats not us parachuting down, we wish though!!

Kelsey even found a cow bell to wear (dont have to worry now Sue/Linda :) )
