Interlaken

Our hotel was in Interlaken. It was a beautiful little town. We spent a day and a half, as well as our evenings, walking the town. It was small enough that you could get everywhere by foot. We asked around and found the best pastry and chocolate shops and made good use of them :) Everyone in Switzerland speaks multiple languages, and it was so neat to be in stores or restaurants and hear the workers peak to us in English, then another person in German, another in French, and so on. 

Interlaken was full of para gliders. There were always at least a couple in the sky.

The train station - It was really easy to get anywhere we wanted by train and cable car. Each day we went to a different town.

The busy part of the town looked like this - a bunch of little shops lined side by side. There were tons of watch, Swiss army knife, chocolate, and pastry shops. 

Every sandwich we had was pretty much the same - homemade bread with a thin slice of ham or salami, a slice of cheese, and a slice of a pickle as well as a slice of a hard boiled egg. If it wouldn't have made me sick, I would have skipped the sandwiches and eaten only sweets. Their pastries and tarts were delicious. All of the fruits were so fresh, as were their butters and creams. It tasted like everything was fresh off the farm (and from the look of the country, it probably was).

The chocolate looked and tasted amazing. It was just fun having so many different types to choose from.

At night we would make it back around 7ish from our travels, and either eat at the hotel or around town, and then get some gelato before heading back to listen to music at the hotel.

Our favorite restaurant was The Goldener Anker, and we ate there twice. All of the veggies and meats were so fresh, and they served really good homemade herb butter and bread, and homemade sorbet for dessert. Jenna was usually crashed out by this point. 

We went on a boat tour through Interlaken one afternoon. The water was such a brilliant blue color. All around the country there were houses in the most random spots on the hills, many of them without a road in sight. We never could figure out how they could get to and form their homes.

Jenna took advantage of any chance to get a nap in. She was out for the entire 2 hour tour.

There was a train that went to the top of the mountains behind our hotel, that went up at a 60 degree angle. It took us to some of the most beautiful views of the entire trip.
