The next morning after our traditional breakfast of pastries and coffee, we set out for Interlaken again.




It was stormy looking weather and we got rained on several times along the way. Once back in Interlaken we made a decision to take the train to Bern, Fribourg, and then Vevey where we would stay for the night. Good thing, because it rained HARD all the way there.
Bern…it is the capital of Switzerland and it was a zoo of people. After spending the last few days in quiet, car free little villages I was uncomfortable around all the people and traffic. The sites were enough to make us push on and do some looking around for a couple hours.













When it started pouring down rain, we hopped back on the train for Fribourg. I really liked this city and it was much less packed with tourists.













Mmmmm beer. Is there anything it can’t do?




What in hell’s name is this SUPPOSED to look like?




Another train ride took us to Vevey. Vevey lies right on the lake and is a great little community. It was warm, sunny and very charming.



We strolled the streets, had some beers, and enjoyed ourselves.





The hostel we stayed at was very nice, but some of the people that shared our room were ridiculous. One of them set their alarm for 5am, then got up and rusteled through grocery shopping bags for a full 30 minutes, left, and then came back in an hour and did it all over again. Thank god for ear plugs, they helped me sleep pretty well our whole trip.
