Day 26- hiking the Swiss Alps

I woke up with the intention of going skydiving today but since it was full I decided to go on a hike recommended by this nice Swiss lady I met on the train to Interlaken instead.

It was beyond beautiful. I took on the Swiss Alp from the absolute base and enjoyed 3+ hours of rise (about 1.5 mile rise) and the beautiful scenery around.

At the top they had lounge chairs to chill out on and yes I dozed off for a solid 30. When I woke up it was getting kind of late so I took the gondola down and got back to the hostel around 6. I was starving because I basically just had hostel breakfast and snacks throughout the day so I crushed the hostel restaurant/bar's famous "3 species" burger (pic attached of the hamburger, chicken, bacon, cheese, BBQ sauce pile).

Please take a look at the views from the top, and the pic of the mountain ram on the side of the mountain. tell me that's not awesome.

Tomorrow I'm going skydiving at noon and then working my way back to Geneva for my 6am flight to Brussels. Along the way, I'm stopping at that Swiss lady's lake in Bern to canoe around then barbecue with her friends. No idea what to expect here but I'm pumped.
