So, today we all got up and paid for our rooms for last night and tonight and then had breakfast. Breakfast is included in our rooms and is a choice of (1) a roll, toast, and OJ, or (2) muselix, a piece of fruit and OJ. You can also order hot breakfast, but have to pay for that. So, after breakfast, we got our tickets to the Top of Europe and headed out to see the top of europe, the ice palace and the sphinx. From the sphinx lookout you can see Italz, Germany, France and I think one other country? or maybe not. . . and of course, you are standing in Switzerland. Unfortunatelz for us, it was so clouded over, we didnät get anz good views at the top, but we had a great train ride to get up there. It was gorgeous countryside and incredible views of the Alps. So, we went to the top of europe and had lunch and then we went to the sphinx lookout. it was so white, it blinded you it was so bright and then it also was just cloudy and you could not see much, but it was still cool up there somehow. and then we went to the ice palace and checked it out. it is a palace built into the glacier and it was reallz cool. We checked it all out and then got back on the train coming home. One interesting thing is that there were TONS of Indians on the train going up and at the Top of Europe. And then there was even the indian restaurant called Bollywood. . .no, seriously, I kid you not. . . So, it was reallz crayz and we could not get over the mass infusion of the Indians. . but that is an aside, overall, we really liked top of the world.
As another aside, I just looked up and saw the drunk guy from last night. He and his friends were staying at Funny Farm this other hostel, but now he is here. Prettz funny. I think he was so drunk. . . I doubt he remembers us, but then again, I may be wrong, he was just saying hi to Martin. . .so I guess he does remember us. It is a small town.
Back to our day. We got back from Top of Europe around 18:30. We checked on trains and it looks like we can get to Munich tomorrow so, I think tomorrow we will train it to Zurich and then Munich. We want to go to the concetration camp and see what else there is to do in Munich. We are about to research it on the internet. We figure we will hit Munich, then back to Milan and there is an overnight train from Milan to Barcelona. Then a Plus hostel in Barcelona, which should be good. Then an overnight train to Paris and our hotel we booked for Paris. So, looks like our second week is firming up to be Munich, Barcelona, and then Paris. And we all agreed we will go to Roland Garros before we leave Paris.
So, after checking out trains and stuff, we went to dinner in Interlaken and had dinner at PizPaz. It was reallz good, more pizza and pasta. but standard food.
Now we are at Balmeräs checking email, updating this blog, etc. I never did find an internet place that had USB. . . hopefullz soon. I have so manz awesome pictures, but cannot get to where i can upload them. Hopefully soon. . .
Okaz, we are off to research Munich and look for hostels and what to see when we get there. Until tomorrow. . . That's all from the gang in Switzerland. . .
