Extremists to the Extreme!!

Hey all you kooks! Hope you are keeping up with our blog and enjoying our latest news. We have been to quite a number of places in the past few days, but heres the low down on a very hardXcore and intense place called...INTERLAKEN, SWITZERLAND! (Rambo music!!)


We arrived late evening (dont know the day, we sort of forget the days on this trip) but walk into our hostel after 4 trains. We stopped into Luzern, Switzerland for the afternoon. We walked by some famous bridges that overlooked GORGEOUS, and I mean, gorgeous rivers overlooking the Alps. As well as walking by some famous Medieval walls.

 After this pit stop, we arrived safe and sound to hear that we would be staying in a... yes, you didnt guess it, a 32 person bed dorm. You heard me right. We were roughin' it to the extreme in the Alps. We went all out and literally lived out of our backpacks for the first time. But we put our packs down, grabbed a burger and fries to eat provided by our hostel (the first American meal we´ve had on the trip) and met up with our William and Mary friends that we met in Rome that we found out were stalking us (not really, parents dont freak out). We hung out for the evening, met a few new faces in our hostel before hitting the sack for some outdoors adventure.

 The next morning, we filled our bellys withs some grub provided from the hostel before taking a bus, and then two trains, and a gondola up to trail in the Alps that overlooked the Eiger, the Jungfrau, and the Monch. Oh my lanta, it was breathtaking. Dont worry, the pictures are our souvenirs. We hiked for a few hours throughout the alps in and out of snow patches in the midst of cold clouds. It was a gorgeous day to hike. the. alps. ¨Hi my name is _____ and I´m on an Alp!" We are greatly proud to say this phrase all day long. But anyways, after a day of hiking we went back for some lunch and treats, and then watched the start of the WORLD CUP!! HOOPAHH!! South Africa vs. Mexico, Go South Africa! (Sorry, Mexico, South Africa should have won) But we are in full World cup mode since we are in Europe, home of football.


After this, we washed up for some native dinner, which turns out that Switzerland is mighty expsensive. We shared some rostis and schnitzl with mushroom sauce, which broke the bank for us. We then headed back to watch another world cup game, hang out with some more people from our hostel and then check out the club at our hostel (yes, there was a club in the basement of our hostel. I know, legit. Unz. Unz. Unz. (base music) We pretty much brought down the house with our funky dance moves.)


The next day, we tried to be extreme like all the other extemists in our hostel. Those that were skydiving, canyoning, or rafting, but our money wouldnt allow for it. But we were able to get really intense with a challenging and elevated ropes course. Zip lines, walking on ropes and tight lines 60 feet in the air... don´t worry, we were safely harnessed in!


After this, we got some yum yum snacks like wraps and Thai food (since Switzerland is known for having an abundance of Thai and Asian food) and watched more World Cup! We got all ready and got our nook prepped for the USA vs. England game. After watching the intense and mentally challenging game, we went to rest up so we could head our for an early night train to Munich, Germany!


Well folks, thats all for now from Switzerland. If you want more, scroll up!


For now, ¨So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night!¨

With GREAT love,
