Interlaken- the great escape

You know you've fallen in love with a place when you leave and your first dream at night is about going back. I absolutely loved Interlaken. It was so nice to get out of the city and enjoy being in the beautiful scenery. It was an expensive little city, but worth every penny! On Saturday we went canyoning. Its where you follow a river through a canyon by repelling, jumping off cliffs and waterfalls, sliding down rocks and ziplining. It was the best thing I have ever done. It was cold, but so much fun that I didnt mind. On Sunday, Larry and I rented a fun car and drove to some of the nearby mountian villages. A fun car is like a little smart car, only its open air and a bit more rugged. We had so much fun. We first drove up to Lauderbrunnen, a city in a valley between two cliffs with a giant snowy mountian in the background. The cliffs on both sides had tall waterfalls coming down them in multiple different places. We wanted to visit some famous waterfalls that you had to hike to, but it cost about $10 and we had already paid for the car to drive around, so we decided to drive up to grindelwald instead. Gindelwald is beautiful, but less impressionable than lauderbrunnen. From there, you can hike to glaciers, but after hearing it was about 800 steps we decided to drive down to the western lake and have lunch. The lakes are surrounded by mountians and and the qater is the most outrageous teal color. Even the rivers that flow between the eastern and western lake are a mint green color. I loved interlaken so much that Im planning my escape back as soon as I can. I just have to get a good paying job first.
