I LOVED SWITZERLAND!!! Everything in switzerland is so beautiful, the only downside is everything is so EXPENSIVE. We couldn't afford to eat very well, but the scenery definitely made up for it. We went to luzern, interlaken, and geneva. everything there is soooooo GREEN! I don't know how else to describe it-- the mountains were beautiful and the hills were full of beautiful green grass & trees!
We went hiking in the Swiss mountains and got lost, whoops! We didn't know how to pack properly so we did not have a map, compass, or any water... and then got lost! We had to follow these two women down the mountain and finally found our way to the correct town! Lesson learned: hiking is hard, especially when you're going downhill on a steep trail.
Anyhow, I wrote this post to discuss our canyoning adventure. If you haven't already, YouTube "Interlaken Canyoning Saxeten"-- it was AWESOME! We slid down waterfalls, rappelled down some cliffs, I kinda drowned once, and it was FREEZING. The group comprised of 8 big boys... and me and Amelia. Haha. The guides always made us go first or last so they could watch us. We fell in love with one of our guides (he was super skinny but SO STRONG!) Whenever we couldn't swim forward because the current was pushing us back, he would just jump in the water and push us forward, haha! The hardest part of it all was climbing up a huge hill to the van in our wetsuit (it was SOO heavy!)-- I thought I was going to pass out. All in all- loved loved loved Switzerland.
