Interlaken!!

So we took the all day train to Interlaken... It was long, but we had a table for the 4 of us on the train so we had some hot cards action goin' down!!! Anyways, we got into Interlaken mid afternoon and called a few hostels.

We chose Heidi's Hostel because it was cheap and close, but it ended up being really nice. Furhtermore, the old lady that worked there (we assumed her to be Heidi?) was ridiculously nice - she kept giving us chocolate! We got a 5 bed room to ourselves with the coolest shower in the world!!! We originally mistook it for a closet/dresser. It was about 2 feet by 2 feet, but the water pressure was AWESOME!

Let me interject (this iis actually VA). There has been some contention as to whether the shower water pressure was actually awesome...David says it was average (and that he wants nothing to do with this post...)(DAVID)

Alas... back to interlaken. Interlaken is sandwiched between 2 laken (hence inter for between and laken for lakes!!!) but the other 2 sides shoot straight up into the alps. Needless to say it is gorgeous! There's tons of outdoorsy stuff to do there and more watch and swiss army shops than you can shake a stick at!

We went to grab some groceries and got caught in the rain which was actually kind of nice. Once we got back to the hostel we were cooking our less than awesome food and we met some other travelers who were cooking their more than awesome Thai which they had way too much of and we consequently ate. It was delicious. We went out with said group for beers later that night and got pysched to skydive the next day....

The next morning we got up earlyish to go SKYDIVING. Our instructor, Stefan could have been confused for the Governator based on his accent which was great and he made some reference to Cant Touch This or somethign which is apparently somehow related to Eurotrip (the movie) which I dont understand because amazingly I have never seen it.

Skydiving was incredible! Words cannot describe it-we will just have to show you our pictures.

We spent the afternoon wandering around Interlaken, losing the Bee, and chilling out playing cards at Heidis before we caught the night train to Venice.

Erti and I appologize collectively for rambling over unimportant details. But you love it. Look for updates on Italy and the first Joj post sometime soon!
AWESOME.
