On Saturday, we took a long train ride north, to Interloken, Switzerland. It was dark when we arrived, but after some wrong turns, we found our hotel, and ate cheese fondue for dinner.
In the morning, we were quite stunned by the view from our balcony. The small river ran right next to our hotel, then more of the city, and then there were the huge Alps, right there. (I'll put some pictures up later.) They were just gorgeous and seemed very close.
This was the "vacation" part of our vacation. We didn't do much for the next 2 days except take some scenic train rides and walk around the city and enjoy the peace.
We did go to a chocolate show at a local shop where they showed a video about how the chocolate was produced from the cocoa beans, and then showed us different ways to use chocolates in molds or to make truffles. It was a neat experience, and the very expensive chocolate we purchased was absolutely delicious.
On Monday, we took the train all the way back to the Netherlands... exhausted and full of memories.
