day in Interlaken by renting a mo-ped, yes that hog got 50 miles to
the gallon. It is unfair to attempt to explain our tandem mo-ped
journey to the top of a mountain. Lets just say we went where no mo-
ped has been before. On the way up we saw cows and waterfalls. At
the top it was one of the most breathtaking views we had both
experienced... And then the storms came in and we rushed down the
mountain fighting gusting winds, darting rain drops and falling
trees. But we made it back safely and were able to enjoy some local
beers with new freinds at a bar with 96% dudes, but we still had some
fun.
The next day we talked two of our roomates into going canyoning with
us. Canyoning is defined as the art of spider-manning through alpine
canyons by jumping, swiming, swinging and zipping. Well as most of
our plans have gone so far, canyoning was cancelled that day due to
water level concerns... So we joined the white water rafting group
heading out at the same time.
We put on our equipment, took a sardine van to the river and formed
the best 8 person raft crew in europe. Our team was on the same
level, often being asked by the guide to quiet down our jokes, singing
and laughter to listen to his directions. This experience was as real
as it gets.. Mixed with class 4 rapids, freezing cold water, amazing
views, and unparrallelled teamwork. Fun fact: the only team member to
fall out of the boat and need rescued was chad. It was extremely
hilarious and we will explain later.
Ahter bonding with our team we checked out and joined the team for a
few beers in the park, watching hang gliders coast in from the
mountains and land. Unfortunately we had to leave to catch our 8
oclock overnight train to Prague. That is where we are typing this
from, our own sleeper cabin on the train.
We are having the time of our lives meeting tons of people, trying new
things, and learning valuable lessons along the way.
Stay tuned for our next blog, and Czech us out in Prague!
