Whoopsie!

I meant to do another blog before I left....I guess this counts.
I get on a bus in less than six hours to go to the airport. Yay!
It's an eight-ish hour long flight. I'll be back in the US at 1:11pm or something. It's going to be a very long day.
But I'm excited! It's been grand, but I miss my own house and room and everything. And a shower with the showerhead attached to the wall. That'll be nice.

Toodles, London. See you again someday.

Land of the yummy cheese and chocolate. And really cool mountains.

I'm really quite terrible at posting my blogs soon after I go places. I've been back from Switzerland for a week now. But hey, better late than never, right?

Well, Switzerland was awesome of course. I stayed in Interlaken, which is a relatively small city located between two lakes and amongst the beautiful Alps. I left to go there on Thanksgiving and got to have a real Thanksgiving dinner the next day at our awesome hostel, Balmer's. I spent most of my time in Switzerland shopping and relaxing, but I did spend one day hiking up into the Alps. The hike consisted of a bus ride, a train ride, a very long walk through an adorable Swiss village with a really cool waterfall, and then a gondola ride (not the Venetian kind) up a mountain. And then I ate a Toblerone and took a bunch of pictures. Then we came back down. 

I regret not paragliding while in Interlaken. A variety of extreme activities such as skydiving (which two of my friends did), paragliding, cliff jumping, and so on are one of the greatest draws to Interlaken. I am determined to paraglide someday.

My purchases for myself were a Minichamp Swiss army knife (with Henry on it!), a silver necklace with an edelweiss charm, and a Swatch watch to add to my collection. And chocolate. I think I lost count of how many Toblerones I had while I was there...

Some of my favorite pictures...

Awesome waterfall.

A random rock by the side of the road...

Eating a Toblerone with a Swiss flag and a mountain in the background...how much more Swiss can you get?

Love the Alps <3

My very own knife. :)  I haven't cut myself yet...

Oh, and here are the rest of my pictures from the trip.
