• 4:35 - Alarm goes off. All Mazie wants to do is go back to sleep. Sad.
  • 4:53 - Walk out the door of the hostel. Refill our waters.
  • 5:10 - Bolt car to bus stop
  • 5:22 - Bus stop to Zürich HB train station
  • 5:37 - Spend a while being really confused, finally ask a train conductor and the helps us find our platform.
  • 6:02 - Train leaves to Bern. Didn’t realize we were sitting in first class and almost had to pay an 100 CHF fee. Whoops.
  • 6:58 - Train arrives to Bern. We walk to Platform 10 to board the next train.
  • 7:04 - Train leaves to Interlaken.
  • 8:00 - Arrive in Interlaken. First destination is the hostel to drop our bags off in their “storage room”.
  • 9:00 - Walk over to a nearby bakery for a light breakfast. I got a delicious pretzel bun.
  • 9:30 - Walk into the city center, shop around, stop for coffee at Dunkin Donuts
  • 10:00 - Stop at this really expensive and fancy chocolate shop but of course I’m gonna get chocolate. The Dubai chocolate here was amazing.
  • 11:30 - Photo shoot at this cute bridge with incredible views.
  • 12:00 - Stop at Toblerone and Lindt stores. More and more and more chocolate (and free samples!)
  • 12:30 - Brief rest sit at a bench
  • 1:00 - Long rest sit in a park watching paragliders land and talking about politics, power, and the history of Barcelona (and practicing our Spanish and eating a lot, lot, lot of really amazing chocolate)
  • 3:00 - McDonald’s for a late lunch (don’t worry I didn’t get anything)
  • 3:30 - Stop at the Edelweiss gift shop again. I bought some people some things…
  • 4:00 - Walk back to hostel to check in. Everyone else takes a quick nap, I take a walk and sing (because finally there’s no one to see me being loud and obnoxious).
  • 5:10 - Walk to a really pretty lake to watch the sunset. Sky was very foggy/not clear, but we skipped rocks, had more good conversation (this time about car accidents), and took quite a few pictures despite the lackluster colors in the sky.

  • 7:30 - Drink water, colect more layers
  • 7:45 - Walk to bus stop

  • 8:00 - Train to a lake with the gigantic floating boat that we selected as our dinner spot (they have.a very nice restaurant on board however it is only Gracie and Mya who eat because everything is insanely expensive. The water was tasty though).
  • 9:45 - Catch the bus to the train station.
  • 9:50 - Stop in a small supermarket for Natalie and I to buy dinner right before they close (we kinda didn’t think about the fact that things may not be available to us 24/7 in a small ski town.
