The day in Morzine was great but, time to head to Interlaken, Switzerland. Travis has a date with adrenaline and I have one with Edward, Marlen and Samuel in St. Gallen. On the way there we drive through some amazing scenery and towns. The lakes here glow green, almost like some toxic waste dump. I'm not sure what makes then green but, I did find out they were excavated by the glaciers in the last ice age about a brazillion years ago. Port Valais was the most impressive. A very glamourous looking place with an amazing lake side hotel, a casino and tons of restaurants. I'm guessing it is a popular vacation spot. Aside fromthe town the drive over is generally scenic. Did I mention the tunnels? There are tons of tunnels here.
We arrive in Interlaken at around 9PM and lucky for me the hostel lets me pay a nominal fee to sleep on the floor in Travis's room. The place is booked out solid! The Funny Farm is the name of the hostel localted inside what use to be one of Interlaken's most prestigious hotels. Once all the big chains came to town it was reduced to a hostel, not a cheap one though. Travis's room was $90 a night for a single room. Hardly what I'd call typical budget hostel travel rates. We found a local pizza joint, headed back to the hostel and watched the last 40 minutes of the World Cup final, Viva España! Great finish to watch.
Sleep time. Tomorrow is an early start to drive solo to St. Gallen.
