Yesterday, we left Brussels very early, headed to the train station. We traveled most of.the day, heading to Switzerland. We rode 3 trains, from Brussels to Frankfort Germany, to Basel, to Interlaken. Unfortunately we got off the train in Basel Germany, not Basel Switzerland. God was watching over us, as he placed a train steward right in our path who told us to turn around and get back on. Doug's shoelace caught in the escalator (yes, Betsy Vo!) and he took a tumble, however, we still made it onboard! We exited the train at 3pm in Interlaken. With backpacks on board, we navigated through town and checked into the Hotel Toscana, across the street from Hotel Azteca (yes, we're in Switzerland, not Italy, Spain, or Mexico). We are the minority in town, as there are a lot of tourists from other countries here. I was hoping to interact with more Swiss peeps, like we did in Holland with the Dutch, however, I don't think Interlaken is the place to do that. We traveled this morning up to Harder Kulm, which gave us a breathtaking view. We then took the bus out of town to the St. Beatus Caves. Very cool! I had to laugh, because some dude got on the bus and was holding everyone up with his questions for the poor driver. I said OMG...there are annoying bus riders everywhere...not just Seattle! Between my gimpy leg and Doug's clogged sinuses, we were ready for a beer (you thought I was going to say a nap, but no!). We are currently blogging from the Hotel Toscana Restaurant, sharing a Swiss cheese fondue. I asked the waitress in French (?) if she would take une plus photo sil's vous plait? And she said oui! Bon nuit everyone!
