i cannot believe how nice it is up here. the weather and surroundings remind me of being in the cascade mountains in washington. perfect weather. i lucked out i guess cause when i booked this hostel it said i would be in a room with 6 other people but there is only 1 person in the room. the hostel is soo nice, i feel like heidi or something, its a wooden lodge, has a resturant and its just sooo swiss alps. the guy in my room with me is from south korea. he is nice and we chatted up and he did a hike yesterday for 8 hours, dang. yesterday i pretty much stayed in town and shopped, ton of it to do here, even tho this is a cute lil town, its very swiss proud, so they have swiss rolex watches all over the places, swiss woodwork and swiss army knives, all kinds of original swiss stuff, oh and swiss chocolate!! its to die for. oh and there are cows all over the place here, last night, i guess they do this daily at night, all the cows they march on the street with the herders back to their barns. so the hostel is also a lodge hotel so there are normal people staying here, hence, people with kids, uggg the kids in the next room were so loud at 6am, got me and south korea guy up, and we did get each others names, but his english is limited and i can't understand him, or many other people for that matter. pretty much up here they speak french and german, just which one someone is speaking i can't tell lol but there are more people here that speak english, which is nice. i do feel kinda bad that to speak to me people have to speak english and i can't even attempt to speak their language, i def am taking up some lessons when im outta here.
so since we were up, we decided to go do a hike, we are right in the swiss alps, so went on this hike, omg it was like doing a treadmill on super high mode for what seemed like eternity. now i can walk a lot, i have been, everyday, alllll day, but this is a lil different, u are hiking up a mountain. so i learned that south korea guy was also in barcelona around the time i was, and he got his bag stolen. poor guy, he was on the beach, and went to the open shower part to wash some fruit he was eating and this guy said someone on a bike just went by and grabbed his bag and was off with it. i felt bad cause he had his laptop, camera , pda and eurail pass also. lucky he had another bag with his money and passport , but losing all that would have def put a damper on the trip for me. i really luved barcelona but dang, its bad for that. so after the hike went back to the lodge and had a amazing breakfast, it was so nice, out on the balcony perfect mountain views. its so relaxing here, i luv it and i def have decided im coming back here b/c they have a ton of outdoor things to do, which i luv the outdoors, i know girly girl me, but i do. so today im taking a train up tpo jungrafru which is te top of europe , the highest part the trains go, amazing views , can't wait. then later tonight im off to rome, i so wish i was not going , which is why im so back here next year i think. catch up later in italy!!
