Swiss Alps


We have just spent 3 spectucalar nights in one of the most beautiful places on Earth! We are staying in Interlaken in the Swiss Alps. We are completly surrounded by mountains even at our hotel. The first day we took the gondolas up to a tiny town in the mountains and hiked about 1000 feet to another town. The views were spectacular its the Matterhorn all around us. The only bummer is that its been clowdy and the mountains disappear.

Also it rained on us so we are a little sick. Coralee and I waited too long to put on our ponchos so we got fairly soaked!

We got so soaked that Coralee had to use the hand drier to dry off so she could get warm again.

The last full day there we walked along the valley floor by the cliffs and the waterfalls. We went into one falls that is unlike anything we have ever seen. It was a falls inside the mountain winding between the cracks all the way down it was truly amazing. We did get a few videos of the power of the water and from inside the caves.

Well the internet is $20 per hour here so my time is running out. On to Geneva and then to the French Riviera.

Hey again,
I am going backwards through your journals because I have a lot to catch up on with your many journeys. They are so exciting. I was there in Interlaken too! I loved it so much! Unfortunately, due to bad planning I was only there one day and the clouds had completely enveloped all views. The waterfalls were still gorgeous, but it was sad knowing that there were towering Alps all around me, but I couldn't see them because of clouds!
Yep, if I ever did a European tour I would go back to Interlaken and Cinque Terra. You went to my two favorite places.
Well, I'm praying for your changed plans in London. Be flexible and be blessed.
THE LORD BE MAGNIFIED!
