If there ever was a place that embodied the word "picturesque", it would be Lauterbrennen, a little town nestled in the Swiss Alps. With lush green mountains, rapid glacial waterfalls set against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, Lauterbrennen won our hearts with its ode-to-nature charm. We were there for two days, staying at a camping ground in log cabins. Some went skydiving in a helicopter while others took a train up to the mountain Jungfrau to admire the snow. I went with 3 fellow travellers on our Topdeck tour to the glacial waterfalls called Trummelbach Falle. It wasn't adrenaline pumping but the long walk there and the actual falls itself made for a very peaceful day. At night it was a different story. We chilled our local beers and wine in the creek filled with ice cool glacial water and partied into the wee hours of the morning.
What a night in the Swiss Alps!
Chilling our drinks in the creek next to the camp site - no need for a fridge!
That really takes me back to my contiki trip! It was an island of calm in a whirlpool of late nights partying in cities with strangers. Makes me want to dig up my old photos!
