The Most Beautiful Place on Earth

Emma and City gates of Lucern

Lucern was beautiful on the first day, but the weather didn't hold up for us for the other 2. Ted, you may rememnWe roamed around town on our 2nd day, and due to low clouds and 24 hour rain, we couldn't do the hike we wanted to. Instead, we took the train to Zurich and wandered the streets: stumbled upon a doggie parade and a gay pride parade - both highly entertaining :).View from the train from Lucern to Interlaken

We are now in the most beautiful place in the world, without a doubt. Nestled between two lakes, surrounded by the swiss alps is Interlaken. We caught a lucky day of having sunny weather after Luzern is was a complete bust with nothing but constant rain. The train ride into Interlaken probably has over 150 pictures between the two of us. Arriving in Interlaken we've done some hiking on a small hill near the town and started walking up to one of the mountains...but then realized we would need some dinner and thought we would save the serious climbing for tomorrow! There's Interlaken's most popular bar below the hostel, and they have live music tonight so we'll probably check that out before packing it in early for an 8:30 start tomorrow (that may not sound bad, but we've been lazy bums recently).Us on our mini hike
