Into Interlaken...Switzerland

The beauty of the Swiss Alps can never be imagined as beautiful as they are when seen for the first time.

The drive into Interlaken is a road full of instant beauty, like a movie, and you are heading into the heart of the center of the Alps’ valley.

The air is so cool and crisp, but you don’t worry about a jacket because the air is known to be the purest form to breath in.

Horse-drawn carriages mosey around the small town, and people flying through the air on hand gliders are above.

Grab a bar of chocolate and head to one of the first historic stops of Switzerland, the abandoned castles near Interlaken.

The castles are run down, crumbled in parts and slowly being destroyed by weather, but still beautiful.

If you are traveling alone, that is no problem because Interlaken is full of travelers in hostels wanting nothing more than to enjoy the views, just like you, so make a friend or two.

The small cottage homes line the roads and you can follow them to the next small town over to walk below the mountains to the blue-water lake.

No water in America is as crystal blue as the water in Interlaken, Switzerland.

The water provides the illusion that it is too glacial to even touch without freezing off your finger.

There is nothing but quaint towns and farmland in the valley, telling all visitors that the Interlaken life is a relaxing one because the beauty of the Alps has a trans over people to keep them calm throughout their days.
