Well yesterday we took a pretty cool touristy excursion on the lake that we are basically staying on. Interlaken is very touristy spot, if you want to buy an expensive watch in Switzerland this could be your spot. Lots of tourists walking around (us included), and seemingly a lot of Asians and Indian people as well. We took a paddle wheel boat to a hotel spot on the lake with an amazing waterfall – had lunch and hung out. After taking the boat back, we walked around and ended up having dinner at a local Swiss spot.

There’s a lot of history in this place, with a hotel across the street being built in 1491, our dinner spot last night was at least 400 years old – so generations of history here. A guy at the bar yesterday was saying he’s been here for the last ten years and it’s really changed over the past five – more tourists for sure.

Today we are ascending to the “James Bond” spot in the mountains (10,000 ft) so taking train, bus and high cable tram up to the top. Interlaken is at 2,000 ft, so a pretty good ascent. Hayden found a local run here that is 3,000 ft gain in less than 3 km – which looking at the mountains around is pretty much straight up.

Mostly photos from the day.
