After arriving in Interlaken, we could not check into our hostel. Patrice, Rachel, and I decided that we were going to take a bike ride around Interlaken while Katie, Mona, and Kelsey went paragliding. I guess I can take this time to spout off about how beautiful Switzerland is. We were in a town that was surrounded by the Swiss Alps, with a river running through it and two lakes on the sides. In Switzerland, the water is teal...it almost looks fake because it is so clean. Our tour guides told us that there was some special mineral that comes from the mountains and fills the lake that makes it turn that color. It was absolutely beautiful. During our bike ride we of course got lost a few times, but rode along the river for a bit, went to the lake, and just soaked in nature. Right when we got back from the bike ride, a torrential downpour of rain started, but it was okay because we were able to check into our hostel right then.Napping was the first thing on our mind since we had not slept
in quite some time. After our nap, we went and got pizza for dinner at the spot right next door. We came back to the hostel to get ready. Our hostel is THE best hostel in
Interlaken, Switzerland. It actually is ranked
very high on some website...but we had an 8 person dorm room for our group. There was a complimentary breakfast, free bus passes, and most importantly a club downstairs with two for one happy hour from 9-10. After a few plus three drinks, we decided that we should get some sleep for the CANYONING TRIP that we had planned the next day. Little did we know that the rainstorm brewing outside had different plans.
