Waterfalls

I am now in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland.

Last night I had a couple of beers with Ant and some of the other busabout people. The hostel has a bar converted from a underground bunker. 

Today we met up with the tour guide and bus driver as it was their day off and went up and behind the waterfall next to our hostel (which is really a campsite, I am in a really quant wooden cabin). Ant and I didn't want to get our shoes wet so we decided to go up bare foot... Not a good move, turns out stones are VERY sharp!

Ant and I then went to the Trummel-bach-falle waterfalls. Which is a system of ten connected waterfalls inside a mountain. The falls drain three of the biggest swiss mountains (Eiger, Monch, Jungfrau). The waterfalls apparently carry around 20,000 litres of water per second! I took a bunch of pictures but the camera really couldn't do them justice. It really was an amazing site, so much power but so beautiful at the same time. As the waterfalls were inside the mountain there were little cracks in the walls of the cave making a fall of light too which really added to the atmosphere.
