nick, matt and i spent the week touring around paris and hiking in the swiss alps. we were in paris for 2 nights. highlights of paris = the obvious, seeing the eiffel tower, notre dame and the other main attractions. also i got to eat a nutella crepe =)
from paris we got a train to interlaken, switzerland. we got the train from there to lauterbrunnen. we had an awesome view of the valley from the hostel. nick and i went that night and watched the germany-spain game. the restaurant/bar we went to was showing the game outside so we got to watch the game and see the sun go down over the mountains. absolutely beautiful!! unfortunately germany had to go and lose the game.
we did 2 full day of hiking while we were there. the first day we hiked up to wengernalp (1874m) then back down to our hostel. the next day we got a train to the sphinx observatory! we got an amazing view of the mountains and the valley. we hiked about 45 mins to a restaurant on the side of the mountain and got some great swiss hot coco =)
we took the train back down a little ways and then hiked the rest of the way down. it was an amazing hike!! we were hiking along the side of the mountain above the tree line for a couple hours then into the woods til finally we made it back to town. we had incredible weather too. we crosses several mountain waterfalls where we cooled off and got water.
definitely plan on going back there!
