We spent one night in Interlaken then came up to Grindelwald yesterday afternoon. It was a beautiful train ride up to Grindelwald. I have never seen such beautiful, snowcapped mountains and landscape. Pictures posted soon... We booked a Swiss chalet in Grindelwald (Chalet Tuftbach) using booking.com, but when we asked for directions at the tourist information center, they had never heard of it!.... Thankfuly, Grindelwald is only one street and we knew the general area and address of our hotel, so we just started walking. We came to the correct address, and it is a beautiful little chalet. We met the owner who lives downstairs and he welcomed us upstairs to our apartment. We are loving our Swiss chalet!! We have a fully equipped kitchen, 3 large bedrooms, a nice living room, and a balcony. It's such a nice change from the cramped dorm rooms and public bathrooms we're used to. Plus we have an awesome view of the mountains and we sit out there and drink coffee, wine, and do homework.
Food (and everything else) is super expensive here, so we decided to go to the grocery store and get things for breakfast/dinner. Plus, Rob loves to cook so it's just more fun. We made authentic Swiss cheese fondue and spaghetti for dinner last night, then played cards/wrote papers/ did homework last night. Today we're going up to First, another area in Grindelwald . Andrew and Sean are wanting to hike. I might hang glide and/or zipline down the mountain... It will depend on the weather and what everyone else wants to do.
