Switzerland - Day 10 to 11
We caught a train from Paris to Switzerland.....or should we say 4 trains. With all of our luggage it was a bit of a challenge, but we made it!
We are staying in a small Swiss Village called Lauterbrunnen. When we arrived at our hotel we found this really cool elevator. To get in you had to open the door and then it shot off.....it was sooooo quick. But we could only fit 3 people in at a time.
This village is surrounded by waterfalls. Apparently there are 72 in the area. We walked up to the biggest waterfall, Staubbach falls. You can actually walk behind the waterfall which was really cool. You can hear the sound of cow bells everywhere.
The next day we went for a trip up to the Stilthorn peak. To get there we caught a cable car and a lovely little train and walked part of the way too. We were so high up, parts of the cable car ride were a bit scary, but the trip was very green and scenic. When we got to the top it was really amazing. Everywhere you looked there were snow-capped mountain peaks. It was just how we imagined Switzerland to be.
When we got back we went for another long walk to the Trummelback Falls. We saw lots of waterfalls and cows on the way. We also saw these crazy people base jumping off a mountain. They were crazy!!
When we got to the falls we could actually walk into the mountain to see the waterfalls. There were a series of waterfalls inside the mountain and some of them were gushing like a jet. It was a bit scary because we didn't want to fall into them. We were so glad that we walked all of the way to the waterfall because it was unique and we have never seen anything like it before.
On the way home, we were walking along this little dirt road and all of a sudden about 10 pigs came running out of a farmhouse towards us. It was so funny.
We loved Switzerland so much. Here are a few photos to show you how beautiful Switzerland is. Maddy and Bella x
