Full Interlaken update coming your way...

So I haven't told you guys much about Interlaken. I'm pretty sure this is the coolest place in the world. Much better than Venice as you can see in my last post.
We got here Tuesday and did pretty much nothing but relaxation on Tuesday night as we were very tired. We also did our laundry (which was much over due!) and talked to our roommates from Alabama.
We woke up Wednesday morning (yesterday) and found that the hostel serves an "all you can eat" continental breakfast. This was by far the best breakfast we've had since we've been in Europe. I had cereal and I tried this chocolate spread that goes on your bread called "Nutella". This is the best stuff on earth. I gotta buy some when I get home. Chocolatey breakfast. hmmmm.
After the breakfast, Dan and I packed up for the day and went to Daniel's Fun Rental to rent what's called a 'funcar'. Basically, it's a two door mini car that doesn't have windows. It was pretty awesome and very useful. Alot of Swiss natives gave us funny looks because of the car.
After getting the car, the lady at Funrental gave us a map and said it would be a good idea to head North to Lauterbrunnen and See the Brimmelbach cascades. When we first started driving it was cloudy and chilly so it was a cold ride there. But we got great video of the surrounding mountains as we drove through a nice valley. We past through many small villages on the way. Once there, we paid the price and took a lift that went through a mountain a few hundred feet up and worked our way down seeing ten cascades in all. Because it had heavily rained the night before, the cascades were really powerful. Dan and I thought this was awesome and took many pictures.
It was neat to see how powerful it could be.
Once done that we headed back towards Interlaken but changed direction and drove through Grindelwald. On the way, many people passed us on the road as our car couldn't go that fast.
Once in Grindelwald, we parked our car and sat at the base of The Jungfrau mountain region. That's the highest point in all of Europe. We noticed how much snow and ice were at the top of the mountain and how neither I or Dan had seen a mountain that big. I much enjoyed this because my love for nature. I have never hiked a mountain higher than 2,000 feet above sea level and these mountains were easily above 10,000 feet.
We got back in the car and headed back to Interlaken to see the West sides lake of the town. Filled with boats and beautiful blue water, we took some pictures and then departed back to the Funrental place.
After this, we had lunch in a grocery store. I won't go into details here as it is pretty boring, just people eating:)
Later in the day, we went to Seilpark Outdoor Interlaken to do the rope course. This was a huge surprise to me. After suiting up, Dan and I began climbing up into the trees ziplining and balancing through the course. After doing several of the beginner courses and a medium course, we decided to try the expert trail, the covetted "Eagle". Once up in the air, we had a challenge of a life time. We struggled to get our feet in these pedals that went from tree to tree. We both laughed at eachother struggling through. Once done the course, we felt equally accomplished and soar from our waist up. Alot of upper body strength was definetely used.
After this, we enjoyed a hamburger dinner and did not that much for the rest of the night.
Today was just as fun as yesterday. We woke up and ate breakfast and then decided to go to a watch shop that we could collect a free gift. We like anything free. Then we headed to the "best souvenir shop" in Interlaken and bought souvenirs for all you people reading this right now.
When we got back we prepared for an amazing day: Canyoning the Saxeton.
If you are reading this, you probably don't know what Canyoning is. That's because back in the states it's illegal. To put it roughly, it's like white water rafting without the raft.
Once picked up from our hostel, we headed to Outdoor Interlaken and got our wet suits on. We had a body suit, shoes, a helmet, a wetsuit jacket and a life preserver. Once all 7 of us were suited up, we headed up the Saxeten trail. Ten minutes of hiking and we arrived at the start point. To do Canyoning, instructions are key. As soon as we got in the water, it was cold for about 2 minutes then our wetsuits kicked in the heat. Once in the water we followed the group leaders and started sliding down slides, rapelling, and jumping down waterfalls. The scariest part was my first jump. Basically, we had to jump over a waterfall and you had to land perfectly on your back in the correct part of water. At first I thought there might be a rock right where I land, but once I jumped and posed for the picture I landed in the cool brook that swept me down stream a little bit. Dan enjoyed his jump to. The whole group got along great and had a wonderful time in the water. Once back at the site, everyone got a free bier(as the swiss say it) but Dan and I didn't drink and the workers thought this was kinda odd. Power to us.
Now we are back in the hostel and have completed all our activities here in Interlaken. Tomorrow morning at 9:04 AM we depart for a two hour train to Lucerne.
Hopefully I'll be able to update.
