Switzerland - Interlaken

It was spring and weather is getting nice. We decided to do a weekend car trip to Switzerland. We started off early, packed some bread to eat along the way. Usually when we drive to Switzerland, we will stop by a rest stop for a cup of coffee after passing by the border. It is always nice to have a cup of hot coffee in the chilly morning. I always like it when the mountains came into view, especially when they are capped with snow. Our goal is Interlaken for this weekend.


We were on the road for a couple of hours when we saw a restaurant and decided that it was time for a second stop. In this place, we had the most delicious and most expensive croissants in our lives. We were so hungry that we ate up every single piece of croissant that was placed on the table in front of us. And all of us agreed that it was simply delicious, even though we soon realize that it would be the most expensive croissant that we had ever eaten.


We explored around the area since the view was captivating and everything was quiet and serene.




We passed by Lake Thun and Brienz. We were so excited when we saw the first signs of spring, our driver drove into the green out of this excitement and before we knew it, our car got stuck in the mud.

This was the first time in my life and hopefully the only time in my life that I have to push a car. We tried many different theories trying to get the car out of the mud, which now looking back, I am not sure who suggested them. In anycase, we were relieve to get the car of out the mud but it was quite funny now that we think about it.

We found a place to stay somewhere in the town area. And we were lucky to find a room for 5. It was a cosy attic room and we liked it a lot.


We drove around a little bit more to Lake Brienz


That night dinner was cheese fondue with fish and chips. And it was yummy!!


It snowed again the next morning. What a beautiful sight. I didnt know what woke me up but I was there, looking at the snow from the attic window and it was so beautiful.


We took a little walk before breakfast. Everywhere was covered with snow once again. But it is always cosy to look at snow when you are on the inside.





We continued again with our journey to Grindewald. Along the way we had pitstops again and played with snow. We had our share of snowball fight and we found our buddy snowman :)



Time passed quickly when you are having fun. Before we knew it, it was time to start on our drive back to Milan. It was a very simple trip with no real itinery. Just sightseeing and company of friends and it was enough to leave me wonderful memories.
