I have been fortunate to see a lot of wonderful places in my life, thus I have a frame of reference. In Pollock-Goldberg family terms, today I spied "a pretty thing." An exceptionally pretty thing. It exceeds many other pretty things.
The weather in Interlaken has been pretty rough, but that was no deterrent. Today we hiked to see a set of seven waterfalls in the alps. It was extraordinary. The waterfalls ran through the inside of a mountain, and we got to go inside and see them. The glacial water formed immensely interesting and varied patterns in the rock which in turn created fascinating waterfalls. This was a top not set of waterfalls and I am a true (self-proclaimed) connosieur.
This afternoon, I left Davd in the hostel for a rafting adventure. Despite the chilly water (it was seven degrees celcius), it was a great trip. Everywhere I looked, I was surrounded on all sides by the alps. The river was glacial so the water was incredibly clear. We ended the trip, which was a pretty tough paddle, in a brilliantly blue glacial lake. Every mountain top was covered in snow and I was in awe. I went for a refreshing (read: exceptionally cold) swim in the lake and enjoyed the scenery. I feel like I need to pinch myself it is so beautiful here. Still thawing out, but loving every minute.
Stay tuned for the hike to Junfreau tomorrow.
