The outdoor capital of the world - Interlaken

My original plan was to do the 400+ ft bungee jump from the gondola but after 2 late trains and an added transfer to get to Interlaken I missed my opportunity (still have chances in South Africa or New Zealand). Instead I was pleasantly surprised with 4-5 hrs of canyoning: cliff jumps, slides down rock faces, and rappelling. Ridiculously fun. Some pictures and video to be posted later.

The city itself was very beautiful and the views majestic. Surrounded by mountains and a lake on all sides.



Another home cooked meal...probably the best I've had

This isn't amateur chef hour anymore...

Side note: Interlaken has extreme sports, but it's also extremely expensive (as is the rest of Switzerland).
