Mountain air
Eezie cafe
the mountain air and the sight of tall natural creations was a nice fresh change for us last week in interlaken in switzerland..took advantage of the long weekend to get away and stopped over at frankfurt. we stayed at this cheap hotel - the 'friendly hotel'. must say it lived up to that name, the guy at the reception was certainly friendly. frankfurt is nice with the contrast of old and new...it is also a city that smells of money! lots of nice expensive cars and shops and you can tell people could afford them. the interlaken hotel didnt disappoint, except that they completely fooled us with their address...but they made up for it, we had a room with a fantastic view of the jungfraujoch, one of the tallest mountains in the alps. it also has the highest train station in europe at 3575m. the journey up took 2hrs, but we were let down by the weather...couldnt see jack with the rain and strong winds :(
the altitude sickness got me worried, the mrs and i couldnt breathe after climbing some simple stairs...
interlaken town was very nice, it had a quiet village feel but with enough spoils of a town, though we also found out that this is a popular place for indian tourists...
also stopped over at bern, the capital and also luzern by the lake. beautiful cities. very clean.
also managed to find the bally factoryoutlet...well, nuff said, pokai now....it was no surprise that we bumped into some melayus there as well, though a bit sombong lah...
the trip was too short....maybe a revisit who knows...
