It was time to say goodby to Geneva and ride the rails to Interlaken. As we traveled through quaint towns and lots of lakes to the Italian influence in Geneva into the German influence in Interlaken.
Interlaken is a traditional resort town in the mountainous Bernese Oberland region of central Switzerland. Built on a narrow stretch of valley, between the emerald-colored waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, it has old timber houses and parkland on either side of the Aare River. Its surrounding mountains, with dense forests, alpine meadows and glaciers, has numerous hiking and skiing activities.
It is a tiny town with a city centre of only several blocks. The reason we came here was it is the jumping off point for excursions to Jungfraujoch which is where we are headed tomorrow!
