I was so incredibly delirious and tired yesterday I could not write much.......but the beauty of Interlaken, and Switzerland overall is indescribable!! The majestic snow covered Swiss Alps surround us on all sides, and a crystal clear glacier river runs through the center of town. Interlaken is located between 2 glacier ice lakes as well, and the water is such an amazing turquoise-blue----it looks like the Caribbean of Switzerland!! I have never seen such a beautiful mountain landscape, every second I am here I am in complete awe.
Today was probably one of the most AMAZING days of my life! Have you ever heard of canyon jumping?? Neither had I until yesterday! Basically it is like bungee-jumping but better....... So we drove up one of gorgeous Alps to this giant canyon, where we took a steep 30 minute hike to the jump location.......They strap you in a harness and take you to the edge of the canyon, where they hook you up to a line *which is similar to canopy*, then you basically JUMP into the canyon where you free fall for like 10 seconds, then once the rope reaches the end you swing down to the bottom on the canyon! OH MY GOD it was the most amazing feeling ever!! I could not scream, or even breath once I jumped! Wow, a MUST-DO for thrill seekers!
As many of you know April 14, this Monday is my birthday, and we plan to go SKYDIVING!! They take you up in a helicopter to jump over the Alps, IT IS GOING TO BE AMAZING!!! *Sorry Mom and Jenna! We will still go skydiving in Cali I promise!
Monday afternoon we are driving up to Vienna, Austria (where Heidi;s sister lives) to spend the night, and then Tuesday morning we are headed to spend the day in Munich, Germany. On Wednesday morning I fly to Murcia, Spain where I will spend like a week or so before meeting a friend in Paris, France........From there we are headed to see some of the French country side for a few days. From there I head up to Holland to have a miny reunion with 4 friends from Denmark, Holland, and Scotland in Amsterdam! From there I head to Scotland, and then back to California!!! How lucky can one person be??????????????????
