Switzerland and Italy

I loved! Switzerland. It was absolutley beautiful, especially since the leaves where just turning and the Alps had just had there first dusting if snow. We were staying at Balmers Herbage which is THE place to be in Interlaken. During summer i am sure that place is off the hook, because even in the "off" season it was packed. The hostel was just like a mini resort Chalet. We met a whole group of great people while we were there. Balmers also seemed to be very popular amoung the Asians. I was not fond of how they cooked feasts and never offered to share and they used all the dishes. Poor hosteling manners.

The first day we got there we met a group of boys from WSU. At first we thought they were cool but, as the evening progressed, as did my level of soberity I realized that in fact they WERE NOT cool. So instead I befriended a cooler group of boys,however Sarah and Sarah were not as lucky. Thus trying to keep up with them at the bar...the next day they were struggling abit. Turns out those guys from WSU puked all over there hostel room. Damn Americans always talking the talk. That day it was raining abit so Sarah Sumpter and I just walked around the main town. The town looks like many of the small ski villages in the US and made me REALLY excited to strap those skis on!

Interlaken in known as a place were adreline is thriving. They offer a numer of extreme sports, but because we were coming later in the season our choices were limited...and it was freezing. BUT dispite the cold we went Canyoning which to those of you who are not familiar with it, its repelling down the canyon walls of the alps, three wet suits deep and submerging yourslef into teh ice cold water, then you follow the river down the moutain and have to get over whatever obstacle is in front of you, aka jumping 40 feet down a water fall ect. Sometimes you had a 1 meter square u had to jump in or u had to jump on your back because of the rocks.I am glad we all did it, even Sarah Schulber who is afriad of heights.

Oh and I had fondue, it was really expensive but OMG it tasted wonderful. Gimmelwald we spent one night, its really far up the moutains and was amazing, more tp follow!
