52.00 cheese fondue???

Hello again from Interlaken! We will not have internet access for the next few days, so we thought we'd post tonight instead of trying to remember 3 days of adventures. We were a little disappointed when we woke up this morning and it was very rainy and drizzly. We figured that we would have a lazy day of laundry, etc. but we were happy when the rain stopped and the sun started to come out around 12. We had a picnic lunch and then took a walking tour of the town. It was just beautiful. Old buildings with flowers hanging out all the windows. At one point we walked downstream along one of the two rivers that run through the town. There were some beautiful swans floating around. We then took a local bus to a town about 20 min. away. Interlaken is a town located in between two beautiful glaciar blue colored lakes. The bus trip took us right alongside one of the lakes. Trying to describe this beautiful place is too difficult. It is literally a slice of heaven. There were huge HUGE snow covered mountain peaks, a beautiful waterfall, and this beautiful lake down below. We hiked around, took a ton of pictures and were in awe. We originally planned to take a boat back to Interlaken but we didn't have enough francs with us so we decided to walk back to a closer town to catch a free bus. I'm glad we did the walk because we got to walk along this trail (definitely a Wornick woman type of trail in the middle of the woods and nice and flat) We got back into town and went out to dinner. We went to this one place recommended by our hotel. We were shocked to find that cheese fondue was 52.00 and it only came for bread. We opted for a pizza that was still 18 francs for barely two servings. We topped off the night with getting dessert at a different restaurant. Ben had a macaroon and I had this huge piece of chocolate cake. We did not escape the price gouging however... Ben got a cappuchino for dessert and it cost 4.90! oh well.. we're on vacation as my mom would say. This was truly such an incredible day. There is going to be snow where we are going tomorrow so again, we're glad to have warm clothes. We'll spend tomorrow night in a small town called Gimmelwald and then the next night in Murren. The following day we have another longggg day of trains to Cinque Terre.. we can't wait to be sitting on our private balcony overlooking the water and eating pesto pizza. Love you all. Happy Birthday tomorrow dad..
