INTERLAKEN:

So sometime on the 13th lisa and i arrived in Interlaken, Switzerland....after over 12 hours on a train...we arrived at our hostel....in the pouring rain. The hostel we stayed at was called Funny Farm....and it was definitely a party hostel (as are most hostels in interlaken, considering it's an adventure town). So, we made our way to the bar behind the hostel, and it didn't take much considering we ate practically nothing that day. We then headed to the nightclub at our hostel, which had almost noone in it......instead, we went to the night club at funny farm's rival hostel...Balmer's. They were having a beach party, like they hold every wednesday night. Lisa and I were surprised at the prizes that they give away. The DJ kept announcing some prize about skydiving....i, being quite tipsy, was thinking to myself...'i'm going to win that prize'. Oh yeah, I did.....crazy crazy Laura. The prize was 2 for 1 skydiving, so i could either jump twice for the price of 1 jump, or Lisa and I could jump half price. So, we planned our jump for the following day...we did nothing all day....except sit by the pool and try not to freak out about our jump that afternoon. Ah, i ended up paying for a photographer to jump...and i still haven't seen the pictures (it's june 25th...i jumped 11 days ago). They're on a CD which i just so happened to forget to bring with me today...but i'll eventually get them up! The video was great too....i look so scared! I still can't believe we went through with it, i'm the biggest baby in the world.....but to skydive in the swiss alps is possibly the most amazing place to do it. ALthough i managed not to pay too much attention to the scenery on the way down, i was way too frightened!


ah....next up Gryon, Switzerland...a swiss escape in the Chalet Martin
