Switzerland, the end

wow, what a day! we travelled for 14 hours today. left at 8:15 a.m., by train, to Interlaken. actually we had to change trains several times. once there we walked very quickly around a small portion of town looking for a store to buy bread for our picnic lunch later.

then we took a train to Lauterbrunnen, up into the mountains. very, VERY beautiful. similar to Colorado, but better. yes, i guess those were the Alps. we didn't go to the very top, but close enough. once to our destination we sat in the grass and ate our picnic lunch.

a couple of hours later we were at a small village not in the mountains anymore called Brienz. here we viewed another beautiful lake over dinner in a pizzeria. it was good pizza and of course the view couldn't be beat. it was kinda scary/funny though, cuz while we were sitting there the wind was blowing pretty hard and at one point the awning above got blown into the sign letters on the side of the building and broke them above my head. so, while susanne was in the bathroom, i was sitting there getting pelted by plastic. when i realized what was happening i jumped up and moved to a safer location and the waiter and manager came running out to see what was going on. susanne showed up and we sat down again, but i was a bit worried whenever the wind came blowing again. but the awning was lodged into a hole, so i guess we were safe enough. still, dinner was really nice.

afterward we trained home and went to bed. it was a long day of beauty and i'm so glad i decided to come here for a few days before the tour.
