I prefer hip hop

Today we took the train to Interlaken for the day. It took less than an hour so once we got there we walked around town. We thought that since it is a small town it would be idiot proof as to where the panoramic views and best places to go were, but this is not the case. When we got to town everyone scattered in different directions so we wandered around and looked in a bunch of cute shops. It took us a while to figure out, but we ended up taking a bus to the other side of town to one of the lakes.

Interlaken is a town in between two lakes at the bottom of the Alps so the views are really pretty. There was a strange mix of people in the town. A good bit of young people for all the rafting, hang gliding, and sky diving as well as tons of old people. When we were on the train it was pretty much filled with old people that had on hiking boots and hiking poles. We decided to eat by the lake at a restaurant that was really good but literally we were the only young people there. We looked like we were eating lunch at a retirement home. But the food was really good, I had some sort of fried fish that is from the area.

After lunch, we went to the edge of the lake to take some pictures where we were approached by a young guy who offered to take our picture. He ended up talking to us for a while and he is from Switzerland and was at the lake for the day. It was only in the 70s today but they thought that was hot! We had to ask him about the yodelers and why we couldn't find any. He told us he much preferred hip hop to yodeling. We did find out in Interlaken that there is a yodeling festival but that it was last week. We were a week late! So if I ever come back to Switzerland I guess I will have to come back for that.

After lunch we took the bus back to the main part of town and walked around some more where I got a Swiss army knife! Yes, it is much cooler to have a swiss army knife that actually came from Switzerland.   Early afternoon we took the train back to Bern to get ready to leave Switzerland. We went and got our bags and headed to the train station to get snacks because apparently the only grocery store open on Sundays in Bern is in the train station. It was pretty much mass chaos in there but we were able to spend our last few Swiss Francs on some snacks for the train. After that we took the train to Munich where we encountered 2 shrieking toddlers on our train. We are not sure why on every plane, ferry, and train we always manage to get on one with a screaming baby, but we have awesome luck in that department. After a long train ride we were glad to have rested and seen some pretty sites in Switzerland and are excited to be in Munich, Germany!
