10,000 feet!

Today I got up super early (7:20) to get the cable car up to Schilthorn which is 10,000 feet or 3000 meters above sea level and thus is one of the highest points in Europe.

I did not dress appropriately! I thought it would be fine to wear my fit flops (which by the way are the comfiest things you will ever wear). 

I did not anticipate two and a half foot of snow on one of the platforms! I ended up in the toilets with my feet in the dyson hand dryer!

The views were spectacular from the top and even better from Muren, a small Swiss village about half way up the mountain so I walked from Muren to Gimmerwald then got the cable car back to Lauterbrunnen. 

I did try to take a nap in a field just outside Muren  after drifting off in the sun I was woken with a sharp pain in my hand. A HUGE red ant was sucking my blood and I couldn't get it off. After a swift splat I thought it a better idea to keep moving!

I bopped down the rest of the way down to camp listening to Now 52, great tunes.

Interlaken tomorrow!
