Interlaken. Extreme Sports in Switzerland

So yeah... it's bean a while again, but here I go!


We woke up very early on our last day in Munich to start our way to Interlaken. We got on the first train at about 6:09 am. We had to go to Zurich first and from Zurich catch another train to Interlaken. It was a very long way but it was worth it. We got to Interlaken at about 3:00 pm and from there we walked to "Balmers", our hostel in Interlaken.



First I'm going to talk about Interlaken. Interlaken is a little town (I wouldn't call it a city) in the middle of the Swiss Alps. It was beautiful!!!! I have no words to describe it (actually I don't have a lot of words to describe the best things of our trip to Interlaken) so you're going to have to see the pictures.



When we got to the hostel they told us that they were overbooked, so they gave us a private room for the same prize as a room with 8 beds. That was cool. Once everything was ready we proceeded to book the extreme sports!



I went skydiving!!! and canyoning!! I was soooo excited!!! that day we just walked around the city, met a lot of people (I was really surprised because there were a lot more women than men at the hostel), and that night we went to the most famous discotheque/club in Interlaken which happened to be right below our hostel (and was very small).



The next morning I woke up early because the skydive people were going to pick me up at 9 am. We left the hostel and drove for about 15 min to the "airport". Now the hard part to describe... Skydiving!!! I can only describe as the MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE of my life. Really I have no words about it. It was SOOOOOO AMAZING. I can't write anything about it... I'm sorry... but you could at least see my stupid faces if you ask me about it in person! I'm also leaving some pictures here so you have an idea. It was really amazing. I jumped from a plain at over 4000 meters from the floor and I did a free fall of 55 seconds before we opened the parachute. It was amazing!



I went back to the hostel and an hour later I left to do Canyoning. Canyoning was very cool. The water was sooo cold! at the end of it I couldn't feel my hands. The rest of my body was good because they gave us special suits for the temperature of the water.



Once again... I think is better if you see pictures than if you read about it... so... here are some pics.



That night we went to the same club with some girls we met during the day and the next morning we left to Venice.



I'll write later about Italy!



cheers!

Ahijado cuando te digo que estoy orgullosa de ti y de que es tremenda experiencia de vida, me refiero a que has pasado por las verdes y las maduras y sin embargo has seguido allí al PIE DEL CAÑON, pa lante, sin pararte a pesar de lo que implica estar en un Pais diferente al tuyo con otra cultura pero sin embargo tan bello, te esforzastes y debes seguir adelante con lo que te gusta y seguir adelante con todo y ojo "No te comas el marshmallow...todavía" de Joachim de posada, qué libro tan simpático y tú no te lo comistes .............sigue adelante que seguirás triunfando cómo te lo propones. Qué Dios y la Virgencita te sigan acompañando siempre en todo momento, y sigan premiando y bendiciendo siempre, tu madrina,
