Zurich – Interlaken Grindelwald

This post is so overdue because of the fact that I have yet to finish posting photos for my japan holiday and finish blogging about it. All in all, this is a pretty relaxed trip… I was contemplating between hibernating and resting in the room or going for the Interlaken and Grindelwald trip. In the end, the choice was obvious, I couldn't resist the charms of Switzerland, together with Yvonne, we decided to take up the tour… visibly irritated by the fact that Wendy was taking up so much time to decide to join us ornot and holding everyone up from their rest. Grrrr

Next morning had to wake up early to make sure that we get to the bus bay in town, so that we dun miss the bus to Interlaken. We arrived early enough to grab a bite before heading over to the bus down to Interlaken… excited!!! Finally going to a place which I have been wanting to go.. the weather is all good.. nice and sunny… a pity that I din bring thick winter clothings, otherwise this is the perfect weather to go up to Jungfrau, which is within the vicinity of Interlaken… nonetheless, the lakes at Interlaken really took my breath away, serene and peaceful, colourful houses planted in between the greens of the warm summer are not a everyday sight unless you live in Switzerland. Especially not when you have nice lakes in your backyard.. greenery and your own little boat to go out fishing in the lake… something I think I would enjoy…

From Interlaken, we can catch a glimpse Jungfrau’s peak.. was wishing so hard that we were going up there instead… pity pity… Interlaken town is just a small town which is beautiful, there is a restaurant which is on a mountain top which offers a panoramic view of the 3 interlinking lakes.. we didn't have time for that, but we managed to explore the town quite a bit and watch with envy as people did tandem skydiving.. something which I enjoyed a lot.

Next, we were picked up by our bus to head over to Grindelwald, Grindelwald is another sight, on the other side of Jungfrau, it was surrounded by mountain ranges. Different view, different feel, magnificent all the same. We bought a ticket up to one of the mountains by cable car and spent some time on the mountain, admiring the view and taking photos of course. Along the way, we were greeted by bells ringing, curious, we popped our head out of the cable cars and to our surprise, it was the cows making the noises as bells were attached to their necks. They will spread out all over the mountains, grazing along the slopes…

After more photo taking, it was time to head back. A good trip well worth the time.. not too sure about the money though, I think we could have done it at a cheaper rate… Beautiful Switzerland nonetheless.
