Interlaken

This might be the most beautiful place in the entire world. It is amazing here. The water is the purest blue green ive ever seen. The mountains rise above us lush and green and the glacier covered peaks are beyond thoes. We sent the day recovering by taking a boat cruise across Lake Brienz. We got off in Brienz had lunch and then got back on the boat and headed back to the hostel. We booked our adventure for the next day and spent the rest of it doing laundry. The next morning we got up early and went on a 3 hour canyoning expereince. It was like nothing ive ever done. We jumped off rocks into pools, some jumps as high as 8 meteres (25+ feet) slide down slides and climbed through rocks, we came back and rested afterwards and since we still had plenty of adreneline flowing we headed back out to go hiking. We decided to do the 2 hour hike up to Harder Klum a restaurant high above the villiage. It was a hike, and not a very easy one at all. It was very hard work. Justine and I got up a little faster then the rest. The View was unreal. It was just like the movie of Heidi. I never imagined somewhere like this. While we were there we decided to try some traditional food, so we all shared some Roschtis, basically a hashbrown with melted cheese and an egg over easy on top. This was sooooo goood. It was perfect to prepare us for our hike back down the mountain. We all had to shower after our excursion, and then went downstairs to mingle with the other backpackers, we met some fun guys from Texas A&M. The next morning we walked around Interlaken and bought some souveniers and the best thing of all real swiss chocolate. It was sooo good. It was absolutly amazing. Chocolate at home doesnt even begin to compare. We got on a mid-afternoon train to Basel.
