Interlaken to Basel

Today was a travel day again.  This morning we strolled around some back streets of Interlaken, took more photos, and made some last minute Suisse purchases.  This town is very touristy and very expensive, so I didn't find the "treasure" I was hoping for.  After lunch, we hopped aboard the train toward Basel and arrived about 2 hours later. Our hotel is near the airport, as we fly back to Amsterdam tomorrow at 6:30am.  We were going to trek back into Basel to check out the town, however our hotel had a free bbq dinner and gave us SFR $5  for their casino.  We francs didn't last, but we were all over a free meal.  As I mentioned before, the food in Europe is so expensive...we paid $25 last night for mac & cheese.  We wanted to share it, so they charged an extra $2.50, since we both didn't order an entree...ha!  Anyway, we decided to lay low this evening, so we are chilling in the hotel room, watching English-language TV.  Here are some pics of Interlaken this morning, and some from the train as we left the beautiful scenery.
