On Saturday we took a trip to Grindelwald. We left at 6 am because we wanted to get up in the mountains and spend time there before the clouds came in. That was an early morning, but worth it!
Once in Grindelwald, we took a cable car up to First, which is one of the mountains in the area. The cable car was pretty neat. I was a little nervous since I'm a bit afraid of heights, but it was still a lot of fun.
We stopped and had coffee and pastries at a restaurant before continuing on. We hiked along the ridge to two beautiful lakes, where we stopped and had lunch. We had sandwiches, apples, hard boiled eggs, and cookies.
After taking the cable car back down, we looked around in some shops in Grindelwald before taking the train to Interlaken. In Interlaken we took a boat ride all the way to Thun. On the way there a storm came up, and it was pretty cool being on the boat in it. It got a little rocky at one point but then calmed down. The waves were so bad that later on in the trip we saw a few rowboats that had sunk in the water a little bit. From Thun we took the train back to PSI.
On Sunday we visited Luzern. We spent some time wandering around looking at buildings in the Old Town area. They were very beautiful. For lunch I had a pretzel sandwich with smoked salmon, lettuce, onions, and horseradish on it. It was super tasty!
After lunch we walked along the lake to the transportation museum. That was way cool. They had separate sections for train, auto, bus, and plane. Plus there were many interactive exhibits that made it even more fun.
Wow. I bet that was a beautiful Saturday with all the hiking and stuff. It sounds like your really having a lot of fun out there!
