Interlaken

So again I have put the pictures and posts on backwards put I think you can get the gist! We woke Jack up from his nap after canyoning at his hostel. Not sure his friends were too happy but I had to deliver the bags of pretzels and chips I brought for him. Luckily his hostel was having happy hour with 2 for 1 beers in the bar outside. So Zann and I hung out there for a while listening to some Snoop Dog and Creed (totally what you would expect in Switzerland right?)until Jack and his friends got up. Then we headed to a hamburger place Jack's friends went to the night before and loved! The burgers were great especially the hot sauce. Jack, Zann, and I have all been craving a Five Guys burger since any kind of beef is hard to come up in Spain and Switzerland. It was a great treat and we headed to the casino. It was all great until I was sick an hour into our time at the casino and the rest of the night. I was up all night and a shared all bathroom is not the best when you are getting sick all night. So we woke up at 7:00 and took the first train back to Zurich. So not too many pictures since we were planning on Sunday being out sight seeing day. We will be back soon though!

Interlaken casino. The casino was great until the CHFs weren't coming in as fast as they were being spent and there are no free drinks at the casinos in Switzerland. Writing this I have got to thinking Zann and I have been to quite a few casinos together. Starting off at Quincy's in Aubrun, the horse tracks in Kentucky, about 7 casinos in Vegas, Lucerne, Interlaken, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few but it seems we see as many casinos as sights!

From the view out of our hostel you would think we were in a 5 star hotel.

Beautiful art work....

Our second hostel which ended up working out great!

The Happy Inn. Our first hostel.

Saturday morning we even slept in and were in Interlaken by 12:00. The scenery on the train ride was beautiful. The water in the lake was so blue and clear we thought we were in the Bahamas, minus the mountains. We were meeting up with Jack but he was on a canyoning trip with his friends so we headed to our hostel to check in. Yes, a hostel not a hotel. Our first hostel experience. Well we went to the bar to check in and realized we had booked it for Friday night....oppps. Well they were nice enough to send us down to their sister hostel who had a room for us. It was a "nice" private room but not a private bathroom. That was down the hall. But it looked clean and the sheets and blankets were all white which is very high on my list! But just in case I had packed tshirts for pillow cases and an extra blanket, but no need.

Here is the link to the canyoning trip that Jack went on. A little to crazy for me but he had a blast!!
