Living the dream

My bro, living the dream...

Caren's hat serves as a water carrier from nearby streams!

Temp is 65... a little hot while walking, but otherswise great.

ciao.

Is this heaven?

So, I think I figured this out... Switzerland is adult Disneyland. When you look around, Walt got all of his ideas from here... plus a few castles from Austria. It costs just as much as Disneyland. But the beauty... whoa... like when you die, I think your first rest stop will be a little restaurant, facing the north face of the Eiger. I was there today. I'll admit it was pretty breathtaking, and I only had one beer. Here are some pics...

Your first meal will be "rosti", which is a fried egg with bacon over a plate of hash browns. Don't believe me... well take a look... see pic above... sorry i am such a shitty blogger.

After we are done with lunch, were back on the road to nowhere.

ciao

High

High in the Swiss Alps... actually, about 2,500 feet that is. Took the train from Stresa to Brig - changed to Spiez - changed to Interlacken - went to the 18th floor of the Metropole for lunch. $164 later, we descended, walked back the the station and caught the train to Lauterbrunnen. Our hotel (Staubbach) is wedged between two veritcal walls. Imagine sitting in the parking lot of Multnomah Falls and looking up at the falls. Staubbach Falls are across the street from our hotel and they have to be at LEAST twice as high as Multnomah. It's expensive here. Let me restate that... ya better bring three paychecks and coupla Visa cards. The Swiss franc is roughly the same as the US dollar. 1/2 liter of bottled water... 3.80 SF. So, you see, 164 SF for lunch fits perfectly. We're only here for two nights... can't afford any more. Hiking and train rides tomorrow. I'll try to post some pics. Ciao 4 now. P
