on our last day in vienna we hung out with Anna, a local medical student. she took us to the vienna general hospital and showed us around. the best part was we got to play around in the medical student's skills lab. we used mannequins to draw blood, suture and insert folies. it was a very cool experience. i really like the suture station, it was really cool being able to stitch!! i've seen it done so many times i also wondered if it was easy as it looked. (almost)
SATURDAY-MONDAY
switzerland baby. so we left vienna at 1:40PM and arrived in Interlaken, Switzerland at 2:30AM. it was the most ridiculous travel experience! the train ride was actually pretty easy going, we were out in open seats so it was relaxing. the views from the train were impeccable and made me really anxious to see the mountains in its entirety.
we arrived very late on friday night and the hostel we stayed at apparently shut down at 11PM. so we had to bang on the doors so that the owners would wake up and let us in. needless to say the guy was pretty pissed off. he was mocking me and didn't accept any apologies (it really wasn't our fault the train took longer than it was supposed to) after a little bit of that we got to our room and passed out. in the morning the view from the back of the hostel was insane:
on saturday we woke up and changed hostels (one closer to the interlaken adventures). alex wasn't feeling too well so he stayed at the hostel and slept and we walked around the main street. after we bought a bunch of souveneirs and cuban cigars (hehe) we went horse back riding!!! that was alot of fun and we got to see alot of pretty areas! the water here is THE prettiest sea foam green color. absolutely gorgeous.
today we went CANYONING!!!!!!! best exerience of my life to date. we started off with a 500 meter repel down a canyon. that was so much fun. i thought i would be scared but i wasn't! the guy fed the rope kinda fast but it was exhilarating. once we were to the bottom we walked down stream and did a series of slides and jumps! the water was so cold and refreshing! i was expecting the jumps to hurt but actually i didn't feel anything at all. the views were amazing and the slides/jumps were lots of fun. we also got to do 2 zip lines through some holes in the rocks! freakin badass.
all in all the weekend in switzerland has been my favorite! gorgeous views and exciting adventures. i wish i could spend more time here and relax, but i will definitely have to come back in future years.
cheers,
s
p.s. doesn't this look unreal?
