All the little blonde children

What a couple of days!

This Tuesday I set out early to the ferry stop at Interlaken West. I bought my discount ticket and boarded at the early hour of 9 am. Now I didn't think about the fact that I would be on boat shadowed by the alps at 9 am and it would be cold. So I was shivering in my new H&M sweater and waiting fir the sun to peak out. Then things started to get interesting. A group of five 60+ Swiss women sat down at the table with me. There were the Swiss equivalent of the daisys, the senior women my mom drives around Hingham. Now, I have no idea what they were saying but I had to keep myself from laugh out loud. Apprently, older Swiss women agree by saying Yah-Yoh. I will do impersonations when I return to the states. The gossip and the yah-yohswere flying around like crazy. I just watched the scenery and listened to the ladies for the two 1/2 hr boat ride down Lake Thun.


Lake Thun

For a period of the trip, an entire class of blonde little Swiss children boarded the boat. They seemed to be on a field trip and I finally got to see a million little blonde children. They were adorable and made me miss the kiddies! Finally we arrived in Thun, pronounced Tune. there is not a whole lot going on here but I walked through one of the castles that dots the lake. It was beautifully preserved and had several fountains inside.


View from the Castle... I learned how to use my camera timer!

I wondered through several book stores in card shops because for some reason they really amuse me when everything is written in German. Later I grabbed a hamburger at a kepab place, which is what they call kebabs in Europe. Considering the only meat I have had was sliced salami and turkey, it tasted amazing. I ate the whole thing which is rare since usually can't finish a burger. Then I got a delicious apple sugary thing from the pastry place next store, because I refuse to eat a meal that is not accompanied with sugar anymore. Afterwards I finished my pastry while reading lakeside. No complaints there! Then my afternoon ferry arrived and boarded back to Interlacken.

I spent the evening buying salad ingredients since my diet has been void of vegetables as well. Oh and I got cake, for 50% off.

All in all, a solid day!
