Switzerland


I have no words for the beauty of this country. If there was ever a place in Europe I could live, it would be here. Standing below the real Matterhorn. Surrounded by snowy mountains and cliffs. I stayed in Interlochen. Then Zermatt.

And then Gimelwald. The most beautiful place on earth. I Went there with Three Aussi girls. None of us new what to expect. From our hostel, we took the train, then the bus, then a cable car up to the top of the snowtopped cliff. With the Eiger across the valey, we walked through this rustic empty town like we owned it. With powder snow and iscles everywhere, goats yelling to be fed, and the sun shinning down on us, we threw snowballs and laughed like little kids, so happy to be in such an amazing place. One of the best days.



The swiss girl said our stay our stay in switzerland would not be complete without Swiss Fondu. I said I wasn't much of a cheese lover -She Insisted. We left the hostel. Slightly Drunk, the swiss and the german hopped on a luggage rack we found on the side of the road, and the rest of us pushed them down the snowy street yelling and screaming as the other tourists jumped out of the way. We found the last fondu restaurant open at midnight.
