Interlaken Switzerland

After a hectic trip to London and Dublin we finally made it to Interlaken. We had to wake up at 3am to make our 6.25am flight out of Dublin to Basel. In Basel we took the train for a couple of hours to Interlaken. It's unbelievable how pretty this area and town are. It looks straight out of fairytale.

Once we arrived we spent most of the day just sightseeing around town after finding our hotel. By the way here is where we are staying.

Until here we have been in English speaking countries. Once we arrived in Interlaken we were extremly tired as the most sleep we've had each day is about 5 hours. We were tired hungry and seeing that most restaurants ranged from 25+ dollars per meal plus being in a German speaking country we looked for a long time until we found a sort of cafeteria. After accomplishing eating we wandered around this town mostly taking pictures. Still sleep deprived we found a McDonalds with 11 dollar value meals. I'm not sure what that works out to per nugget but it can't be good. We finally crashed after dinner and slept 9 hours.

Today we woke up early and rode the trains up toward the Jungfrau which is the highest point in Europe. We've spent the rest of the day just wandering around this town and relaxing a bit since we're not running from airport to airport.

Tonight we are going here for fondue.

Sorry for no pictures. We learned it wasn't safe to plug in our computer with our converter we bought so that will have to wait until we find one that will work in Austria.

Tomorrow we're off to Munich! We will write more soon. We miss everyone and hope to speak to you soon.

Love,
Kelly and Brandon
