Lauterbrunnen

Lauterbrunnen was for sure one of the prettiest stops on our trip. It is right next to the city of Interlaken, Switzerland. Just from the back window of our hostel we could see four different waterfalls. It was a small little village that had so much to see. We tried to fit in as much as we could, but I would love to go back there again when we make it back to Europe.
This was taken out our back window. Such a great view. 

Just getting to Lauterbrunnen and this is what we see the second 
we get off the train. So amazing! 


Our canyoning experience. We went off water slides, jumped off
30 foot cliffs, rode zip lines, and repelled down big rock walls.  It was
one of the highlights from the whole trip.

We had to try the famous Switzerland fondue.  Their cheese has such a
strong taste. We could only eat so much because we are so used to American cheese.
Our sweet hostel. It was the cleanest place that we stayed and everyone was
so nice and willing to help us there. 


We decided to rent some bikes and head to Trummelbachfalle. It starts at a glacier
that was melting and sending water to 10 different waterfalls. 



This was is called the corkscrew. It has formed this pathway through the 
rocks just by the power of the water falling down. 





The Swiss love their cows so we had to take at least one picture with them. 




Spencer tried to ride his bike without hands and ended up hitting a rock and falling down.
Note to self, never ride a bike without hands. 

We stopped in Bern for about two hours because we had a little extra time. 
I wanted to see what it looked like and see what the capital looked liked. 

We had enough time to finally eat a strawberry crepe. 

We spent so much time on trains going from place to place. We even took a few
overnight trains. My favorite thing was to play star gems on my ipod and try and beat
Spencer's score. The next best thing to do was listen to the people around us and
the things that they talked about.
