My parents and I spent took an overnight trip to Interlaken, Switzerland on Friday as it is only a few hours south of here. It is really pretty as the town sits between two lakes and is surrounded by the Alps. The above picture was taken from my balcony at our hotel a few kilometers above Interlaken in Wilderswil at sunset. You can sort of see the tips of the mountains have turned pink with the setting sun. The picture below is also from my hotel room, however, it is a view of the Thunersee (Lake Thun) in the distance amongst the Alps. Although the picture does not do it justice as the haze of impending snow is showing more than the view.
We had a really good German dinner and then enjoyed some after dinner wine before retiring for the evening. The next morning we woke to snow, and a decent amount of it too. We were to go to the top of the Jungfrau, but being that you couldn't see anything we decided to shop in Interlaken for the morning and then head back to Seckenheim to try to make it to wine festival that evening. This is what we woke up to...
And my parents in Interlaken, shopping and taking in the views.
It was a short, but sweet trip! And we did make it back in time for the very cold Schriesheim Festival. More tomorrow as we are headed out for schnitzel tonight!
Auf Wiedersehen!
