Land between lakes - Interlakin As the obvious name implies, Interlakin - is a town in the glen between two big emerald green lakes and imposing snow clad mountains. Its ideal location at the foot hills of the Swiss alps makes it the perfect base camp town for forays into the likes of Europes higest mountains Jungfru, Shilthorn etc. Perhaps Latterbrunnen would be the perfect place however it doesnt have the charm of Interlakin. Charming town When I talk about charm of Interlakin - the place is really charming indeed, so much so that a couple in their 70s from Boston USA have been going to Interlakin for the last 24 years !!!, without fail except for one odd year when one of them got sick and couldn't travel. Well this place is for sure, charmed ... read more

For the last few days we have been in Interlaken, Switzerland, which is at the base of the giant Swiss Alps. It definitely feels like authentic Switzerland out here with huge mountains, the best tap water in the world, mountain goats and other livestock around every corner, and of course, good ol’ alpine cheese! We started our adventures with a cruise around Lake Thun, which is one of the two major lakes that Interlaken is sandwiched between, hence the name Interlaken. David and I could not believe the color of the water. It was the brightest teal we had ever seen. David kept saying that it looked dyed, like the water used in the Disneyland rides. After our Swiss cruise we went back at town and had an authentic Swiss meal of McDonalds because restaurant food ... read more

Hello, Ian here! I am finally writing one of these again cause I managed to get alone time and snuck away from kate. She feels when I write I take away from her writing because you all are so riveted by mine. Kidding... Well, we haven't written in awhile due to being busy and all but that is a good thing! Here in Switzerland there is the most breathtaking sights in nature that one can see. It is amazing as a whole. Um I really wanted to jump out of a plane or off a rock here but it is just to damn expensive to try and kill yourself here! We went up to the highest point in europe and it was amazing! we got to go into an ice palace and play in the snow ... read more

The Land between the Lakes—Interlaken, Switzerland. Interlaken is located right between the lakes of Thun and Brienz in the Swiss Alps. WOW, what a spectacular place. Prior to deciding on going to Interlaken, we had read countless journals, stories and guidebooks about this fantastic destination. Many people complained about how expensive it is and that if you weren’t into extreme sports you would not be happy. Guess what folks—Interlaken is our second favorite stop on the tour so far. We spent 7 days in the Interlaken area and every day was action packed for the both of us. For those of you who are keeping track, we spent from the 25th of July through the 1st of August. In lieu of giving you a daily blow-by-blow account of this remarkable leg of the trip, I will ... read more
