Honeymoon: Day 2

The water is drainage from all of the surrounding mountains. It is cold and crystal clear
 
 We woke up in Interlaken and we went downstairs and had the hotel breakfast.

Now, I know what you are thinking, continental breakfast...boring!

Not anywhere even close to that!

There was a brick of Alpine cheese, breads, pastries, delicious milks, juices, assorted meats, yogurts, cereal and granola and even an egg station where they would make you eggs of your choice from eggs that are farmed from their local chickens.

Oh. my. gosh. It was amazing and I am sad, looking back on it, that we didn't take any pictures. I am actually salivating as I type this!

The beautiful water

Rich found a place in every city to do his cross fit workouts... :-)
We got ready and we went for a walk around Interlaken. We found a trail that we could hike to get our blood flowing. So we decided to do it. 

The views of the city were incredible and the mountain ranges around: breathtaking.

We had a beer at the top of the mountain and as we made our way back down, we had to, basically, run because it started to rain.

We made it back to the hotel in 1 piece and we got ourselves ready to go for dinner.

We stopped at a local restaurant and in broken Germen, we ordered the country's famous Rosti and Schnitzel.  Fabulously Delicious! We want to make it now!

It was a nice and calm day, which was exactly what we wanted!

Interlaken was beautiful and I definitely recommend it! 
At least for 1 full day!

I looooooooooooove Switzerland! I went to Interlaken years ago and it looks just as gorgeous now as it did then. *sigh*

Sounds lovely LaTache! I'm not sure what the customs are in Europe but in Korea you HAVE to drink Soju and beer once you've reached the top of a mountain. I'm glad you guys had a happy honeymoon!

*Soju is basically fermented ethanol. (I'm falling on the floor after two shots.)
