To jump or not to jump....That is the question

---

So things are continueing to get tricky with the busy season. After Barcelona our plan was to head to Italy but the cheaper hostels had already been booked so we headed to Switzerland which ended up working out perfect.

Interlaken is an overpriced town full of tourist and backpackers looking to get their adventure fix either with rafting, skydiving, hiking, bungee jumping etc. It is also a party town so its easy for the vulnerable to be brainwashed with all the big secreens showing peoples skydiving videos all night. We purposely booked only two nights in hopes of avoiding the bank account sucking madness of Interlaken.

We didnt do so well

Our first night we got really drunk and headed to a nightclub with a couple of Mexican girls we met. Turns out this club was giving away prizes that night resulting in Laura being the winner of a two for one skydiving package. The package can be used in two ways. One way is Laura could pay full price for one jump and get a second jump free. Or two people could jump once each for half the price. Laura chose the later. If there is any place in the world to go skydiving Interlaken has got to be one of the best places to do it. The fall is surrounded by the highest of the Swiss Alps with turquoise blue lakes at the bottom. I chose not to get the video and photo package but Laura did so the photos can be seen at www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/Jadela17. They should be up in a few days.

The next day was our first real rain since May 24th and has made me reflect on how lucky we have been with weather so far. Hopefully I have not jinxed myself.

Next up Gryon
