Interlaken, Switzerland

This past weekend, we went to Interlaken, Switzerland and it was the most beautiful place I've ever been. We arrived at 3:30 in the morning and were surprised how cold it was. Since we were staying in a tent city, it was damn cold. We woke up and went and got breakfast and then got our day started. We went rafting later that afternoon and it was awesome. The water was freezing, but well worth it. 

After rafting, we were exhausted so we went to bed pretty early. We were smart enough to get a heater in our room for Friday night. We had to wake up early Saturday morning for our Canyoning trip. It lasted from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm and was one of the most fun/toughest things I've done. The water was freezing, but again, well worth it. 

Later that afternoon, El went bungee jumping and had the time of her life. I was going to go with her to take pictures and watch, but they wanted to charge me 50 franks. After Ellen finally got back at about 9:30 pm, we went and met everyone at the Metro, a bar underneath Bamlers Hostel. It was really cool, even though the beer was quite expensive. 

This is our friend Mike. He's studying in Florence too but we met him in Interlaken. On Sunday, we woke up around 9 and had to be out of our room by 10. We had plans to go to one of the lakes but couldn't figure out how to get there and really didn't have enough time. So we just walked around Interlaken and relaxed. With the views, we really didn't mind. We even saw some paragliders come in.
