Interlaken, Switzerland

Howdy Everyone!
 
I love this hostel!  The breakfast is good, the atmosphere is awesome and the location is great!  The only downside is that the beds aren't the best to sleep in.  Yesterday I went white-water rafting and I loved it!  We went through some class 1 through 3 rapids, and even had to rescue a person from another boat (in the middle of a class 3 rapid).  The guide was super impressed with how the 5 of us worked together so well!  (I guess that dry-land practice paid off!)
 
I love Interlaken!  Think of a town with an atmosphere like Waterton, but with 2 Lake Abraham sized lakes on either side.  There are houses so far up the mountains here!  When you get here by train, you see houses halfway up the mountain with only a quad trail leading up to it.  There was one with a 1500 ft drop in there front yard!
 
This last night train from Rome to Zurich was really good!  There were 6 of us crammed in a space the size of our front entry way in my house in Rocky, but the beds were really comfy this time.  Breakfast in the morning was also an added bonus!
 
I will probably end up staying here another night, so I can have a fondue with some new friends and then tomorrow I'm off to Basel in the North of Switzerland.  I can't believe my trip is half way over!  It seems like only yesterday I was getting on that plane to London....
 
Love you all, and loving the chocolate here...
