Incredible Interlaken

I just had such an incredible weekend in Switzerland. I truly feel like the luckiest person in the world. On Thursday night, we left Florence by bus, an 8 hour bus ride. It was me and my roommate AB. We arrived in Interlaken, Switzerland at 7 in the morning after a long bus ride. We took short naps then decided to venture around Interlaken. We went to the grocery store, picked up Brie, bread and beers (as usual) then had an hour long beautiful walk to the east lake. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. We stopped at a park to relax and drink our beers. The lake was so serene, the whole walk there was unreal. I felt like I was in a screensaver, walking down small dirt roads in a luscious green valley between the snow covered mountains. We drank our German beers by the lake and took plenty of pictures. We were there over an hour, eating and drinking and just taking in the sun. We took a bus back to the town, then walked back to the hostel. We were starving again, I had an amazing veggie burger at the hostel. Our hostel was really nice, it had a great restraunt and surprisingly "the most popular club in Interlaken", however one of the only ones but still. We went to happy hour at the club and I had my first cider :) we went to bed early so we could wake up to snowboard.

We had breakfast at the hostel then headed to the mountain. It was the only time I will be able to snowboard this year... I just wanted to get there. After about an hour, we got to the top of the mountain... It was about 55 degrees, sunny, warm and gorgeous. Our first run was so amazing, it was incredible to be snowboarding again. I was able to board with no jacket, it was phenomenal weather. After a few hours, we decided to grab some beers and food. There was an awesome Tipi Bar with drinks, music and heaters, all in a Tipi. The sunshine felt so amazing, we went back on the mountain for the rest of the day. The scenery was unreal. After a long day, we headed back to the hostel for dinner. Afterwards, we went to happy hour again at the club; 2 for 1 cider. The DJ was playing great old songs... There were these hilarious local guys in super elaborate costumes. Sherlock, Castanova, a box... There were about 10 of them. It was a fun night, me and AB had a great time dancing together haha

Next morning, we checked out of the hostel and walked around the town. It was a quiet Sunday, but we bought some Swiss chocolate that was mouthwateringly delicious. We got back on our bus at 2, exhausted and ready to watch movies on the long bus ride home... Interlaken was mind-blowingly perfect.
