If you don't already know, I LOVE planning. I love planning my trips, I love planning for my life, I love planning parties, I love planning for my business, I love planning meals. You get the idea. I love it. Although I catch a lot of flack for my planning tendencies, it allows me to maximize my time, energy, money, and, most of all, reward. It allows me to do it all and do it relatively stress free. Anyway, I think it only make sense that I blog while I plan, then after, show all the pics and vids to fill you in.
So here it is THE SWITZERLAND PLAN
August 1 we fly into Geneva, the second most populous city in Switzerland. I've heard mixed reviews about this city. Some say it is a beautiful place that needs to be visited. Others say its stuffy and arrogant. Either way, it was the cheapest city to fly to in Switzerland, so to Geneva we go.
We conveniently arrive just in time for Swiss National Day. Think the Fourth of July, but substitute hotdogs and beer with Schublig and white wine. We'll see how swiss-style fireworks, barbecues, and national anthem singing stacks up to the good old USA.
After spending one night in Geneva, we are taking the train to Interlaken, a darling town nestled between the mountains of the Swiss Alps. Aside from its mountain town charm, Interlaken is well known for its countless trails, rapids, lakes, and cliffs, making in a top adventure sport destination.
We have five days to complete
1. A trip up the Jungfraujoch to Europe's highest train station for a little summer ski trip. At the top is the Aletschgletscher, the longest glacier in the Alps, which promises SUMMER SKIIIIING! (along with zip lining, sledding, and other fun stuff but yah SKIIIIIING!).
2. CANYONING! Must be shown by video:
3. Chocolate eating. Lots and lots of Swiss chocolate eating.
4. Hiking, hiking, and more hiking. I am fully intending to take full advantage of the beautiful scenery and world class hiking. How many times in your life do you get an opportunity to scale alps? Plus, hiking is free, and I looooove free.
5. Mountain biking. With rentals from our hostel for 20 bucks, mountain biking is going to be another fun option for exploring the mountains.
6. Picture taking. Well that one was obvious.
Well, now its time to pack up my Barcelona apartment and get on my way. See you in a week United States. Wish me luck!
