Going to Switzerland!

We left for Switzerland about 6:30pm on Thursday night. We arrived in Interlaken around 3am and after getting assigned a room with only 1 other girl and a cool room at that, I hopped into bed to get a couple of hours of sleep.

Friday morning we were up and had breakfast by 8:30am. My roommate (Grace) and I decided to go to the "Top of Europe", along with 2 other girls. It was a very busy day. We were on the train by 11am and then stopped at 3 towns in total along the way. Each town we stopped at we got off for 1 hour and toured around. It was so pretty and it was a great way to spend the day. Once we got to the top (Technically we only made it 3/4 of the way up because to the top cost an extra $130) we stopped for lunch. I ordered a traditionally cheesy lunch. Soooo yummy! It was a dumpling/cheese dish with broccoli. WOW

We got some wonderful pictures and the view was so beautiful. I could have stayed up there for ever. It was only around zero outside and it was a sunny day. At the highest point we were at, we were almost 7000ft above see level. The snow was fun to walk in and I even slipped once on the ice so I felt a little twinge of missing winter back home. I wasn't that worried though, I'll be home soon enough. :)

We didn't make it back to Interlaken until about 6:30pm. The whole group went out for dinner around 8:00pm. Unfortunately the food took forever and our meals didn't show up until about 10:15pm. I was super hungry. The food was really good though and then afterwards we all just went up to our rooms and went to bed. The fresh air and good hearty food made us all pretty tired.
