We woke up the next morning TOO EARLY… To go hiking. Much of the group did the extreme sports, Interlaken is known for its skydiving, cannoning, bungee jumping and ice climbing, but my group took the cheaper option of just a hike through the mountains. Someday I’ll try those, but most likely when I can actually afford a 400 dollar jump out of an airplane. We went on two separate hikes one to a castle ruin that to our surprise ended up being a bunch of little red rocks trapped in cages. This is not a joke.
The second hike we went on we took a train to Lauterbrunnen, a beautiful small village up in the mountains. There, we hiked to a waterfall that ended up costing 11 francs to see, so after about an hour of walking to find the waterfall, we turned around and hiked back without seeing the expensive waterfall. I honestly do not understand how they are able to charge us for seeing a natural piece of our earth, but the Swiss found a way… 
We got back to the Hostel after a long day of hiking completely exhausted. So instead of staying another night on flimsy cots with 9 other people in the room, Nicki , Michael and I took a train back to Geneva, for a more restful night of sleep! 
They should have refunded your money, no waterfall, no franks. Was it just dried out?? Love the cows. You were in Lauterbrunnen when you were 5, remember?? Rick Steves favorite place.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't actually pay to see the waterfall that would have been ridiculous!

ReplyDeletethat's great, when we were in Italy everyone except for me and Courtney went to Interlaken and they all did the skydiving thing haha. you totally should have done it.
