Day 11 - Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland

Today was a long day. We got up early and had a taxi take us to the train station. It costed twice as much as the bus would have costed, but it's nice to have peace of mind and not have to cart heavy luggage during the morning rush hour.

The route took us from Salzburg to Zurich, then Berne, then Interlaken and finally Lauterbrunnen. One thing we learned is that the train up into the mountains, whether heading to Lauterbrunnen or Grindenwald is not covered on the Eurail. It costed 11.20 CHF (Swiss francs) but I used the last of my paper Euros which the conversion was 10€. 

The train rides were very scenic. Our train took us along the edge of Lake Zurich which is huge. I had to look it up after and it is 706sq.mi. Then the train to Interlaken took us right along the edge of Lake Thun. The water is a beautiful aqua color as the water is fed from the mountains.  

They must have extreme mountain biking.

Just down the street is one of many waterfalls in this area.

Our hotel is right across from the train station and a cable car. 

We did not walk around too much. After a long travel day we had dinner and called it a day.
