It’s an early rise and shine to make our train to
Interlaken. We only had time to drink some coffee in our room and grab some
breakfast to take with us from a kiosk in the rail station. Again, we absolutely
loved the Swiss transportation system. Everything was easy to find, clean, and
on time. The train ride took us through some more beautiful countryside with
picturesque mountains, lakes, and towns. I did all that I could to not blink.
Instant hotel coffee is only meh.
Once in Interlaken, our hotel was not a far walk
from the station. Hotel Beau Rivage
was quite a sight. In 1865, this 212 room hotel was built right at the base of
the Harder Kulm. Seeing
the Aare River, the Harder Kulm, and paragliders hanging in the sky above us,
it was easy to fall in love with the place. We went ahead and checked in, and
took a stroll around town. We also had a mission to find Mere a hair
straightener…but I won’t even get into that (short summary, we paid 50 Euro for
a damn straightener to use for a week...great, I have now probably gotten
myself in trouble again for bringing this up). Anyways, there were really no
highlights until we went out for dinner. Since our only requirements were reasonable
prices and a good beer selection, we did perfect. Just a couple of blocks off
the main street, there is a place called Husi
Bierhaus and we highly recommend it. The service was friendly, the atmosphere
was cozy, the beer was well priced, and the food was good. I know this is lame,
but we liked it so much, we went both of our nights in Interlaken. Anyone that
knows us, would not be surprised. Did I mention, I had my first Schnitzel
here?! To be exact, I had my first and second Schnitzel here, it was freaking
delicious. After dinner, we went to Restaurant
Chalet for a couple of drinks before calling it a night.
Our hotel room view was awesome!
