Day 4: Interlaken, Switzerland

On our way to Switzerland!

We stopped in Bern, Switzerland to visit the temple. The church and mormon shop were right next door:)

We were so glad we rented a car so we could go wherever we wanted and stop along the way and enjoy some of the countryside.

Wow. Interlaken is such a beautiful little town. We pulled into town in the late afternoon and the lighting was so pretty. There is a huge field in the center of town where paragliders land.The tallest hotel in town has a restaurant at the top of it where our friend "rick" (aka rick steves guide book), told us to get a view of the city from. We didn't eat there but no one seemed to mind us snapping a few pics and enjoying the view...
The pictures don't do it justice.

Eating our homemade sandwiches with supplies from the Co-Op. One thing about Switzerland...it's expensive, so we tried to cut costs when at all possible. Plus that left more cash for the Swiss chocolate:)

I loved these little square gardens at the back of a church.

We actually spent the night up the road from Interlaken in a little town called Lauterbrunnen at the base of the Schilthorn.
We stayed in this quirky hostel that I would definitely recomend if you are in Switzerland and into the hostel thing. Valley Hostel in Lauterbrunnen
