I just got back from Interlaken. It was an amazing trip. We took the train up after work Friday, and made it to Interlaken around 10. Interlaken is an absolutely breathtaking town. It is completely surrounded by the Alps. We checked into our hostel, which was probably the best hostel ever. It was really clean, had free all you can eat breakfast, free bus passes, and free passes to the local pool.
This morning, I woke up and went paragliding. I was incredibly nervous as we made our way up the mountain. Getting ready to run off the mountain was the scariest part. Once we were running, I knew there was no changing my mind. After about a minute of screaming and being terrified, I got adjusted to paragliding. It was remarkably peaceful. I am usually afraid of heights, but this was somehow different. I felt like a bird floating through the air.
After paragliding, we walked around Interlaken for a while before taking the train back to Geneva. We stopped in Bern, with hopes of seeing the bears and Einstein's apartment. However, we quickly found they were far away from the train station and would be challenging to get to
without a map. So, we went back on the train to Geneva. I just got back to CERN and am exhausted but VERY happy.
