In mid-March we ventured to Interlaken for the weekend, which is probably as close as you can get to the heart of Switzerland. It's home to the biggest mountains in the Alps, crazy adventure sports, waterfalls, cliffs and scenery like no where else. Of course, if you're a fan of the Bachelor then you're already familar with Interlaken :)Although there were no adventure sports for us this go around (supposedly they're not recommended for pregnant women), and the weather was not the most ideal, it's difficult to go to Interlaken and not enjoy it. We spent time hiking through several of the small mountain villages that are perched on ledges with tremendous views of the valleys belows and daunting Alpine peaks above. We saw half frozen over waterfalls and skiers taking advantage of sloppy sky runs. This was my third trip to Interlaken, but it's without a doubt that going to this magical place will never become boring as there is always somewhere new to explore. I look forward to many more trips here that include visiting the top of Jungfrau (otherwise known as the Top of Europe - see my previous post), skiing one of a kind slopes, going to the Piz Gloria at the top of Mt. Schiltorn (famous for providing the setting for a James Bond movie - don't ask me which one), and maybe even running the Jungfrau marathon in 2013 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungfrau_Marathon - call me crazy)!
Here are a few of our photos...
