Scenes From A Painting

The last stop on our European road trip was Interlaken. It's not far from Zurich, but we took our time, stopping whenever we wanted to take pictures. We passed through several little mountain villages that each seemed like their own little paradise. (Unfortunately, I'm a bonehead and accidentally deleted a few of my pictures on this part of the trip.)

Interlaken (literally, "between lakes") is a tourist haven which caters to water sports in the summer and winter sports when there's snow. Since we were there in October, there weren't a lot of people, but the scenery was no less spectacular.

It was mid-afternoon by the time we arrived, but we still managed to fit in a few short hikes before it got too dark.

One of our hikes was to a place called Truemmelbach Falls. The waterfalls are made of glacier water, and are actually inside the mountain. We hiked through little caves to see them. Definitely not for the claustrophobic.

After hiking, we headed back to town for dinner. Like I said, there weren't a lot of people around, so after a few beers at the hostel bar, we called it an early night.
