Extraordinary interlaken

Switzerland so far remains as my fav country since 5 yrs back. Tho i guess new zealand may be comparable. What else can beat a place with snow capped mountains and clear bluish green water in the rivers n the lakes sparkling under the sun. With nice cooling refreshing air and drinking water. With pretty wooden houses amidst the clouds n huge patch of grassland. Tops it all with the pretty autumn scenery of golden leaves.

Pple speak a mixture of italian, french, german and english. How cool. Pple from the bus n train captains and conductors to those behind counters at the shops and f&b outlets, working happily. Makes me wanna visit bhutan too. Hope to bring back this style of living if sg weather n pple do not get the better of me. Aim to obtain self realisation then.

Jungfrau is still too ex to mount at fr 182, height of ard 4100m, but visitors can only up to ard 3500m. The judgement of being worth gg up doesnt change after 5 yrs =(. Thus went up schilthorn instead at 2971m high. There's snow and right opposite the 3 main mts, jungfrau, monch and eiger. Gives a good view at 77 francs.

N here waiting at the train platform, bidding interlaken goodbye. i will miss the magnificent scenery and the uber nice weather.
