Interlaken

October 29 - October 31

After Paris, we spent a few days in Interlaken, Switzerland - sadly, it rained the whole (full) day we were there, so no outdoor sports. Per the recommendation of my sister, was stayed at a great hostel called Funny Farm.
It was really a decent place, although the halls were very much reminiscent of The Shining. But, we had our own bath and a bar just downstairs. They also served up some great burgers and delicious Swiss beer. Mix that with a pool table, some foosball (where I kicked ass against a guy from BU), and you've got yourself a good time my friends, no matter what the weather. Not to mention, the abundance of bells (oh yes, more cowbell please).
We did lots of walking on the rainy day - Interlaken is still breathtaking being surrounded by the Alps, and spent time deciding how exactly to get out of Interlaken and to Vals the next day. After realizing how expensive the train tickets were becoming, the four of us decided to rent a car. Yep. Tomorrow, we drive all the way across the Swiss Alps to the small town of Vals - where the thermal baths await us.
