People come here to jump off of things.

From Monday, May 24: Today we woke up to the deceiving peacefulness of Camping Eicholz in Bern, Switzerland. Last night, we were completely surrounded by children of all ages with a different idea of personal space and private property than we Americans are engrained with. Having had troubles with our tent, we were nervous about anything stronger than a stiff wind, let alone a football or tumbling child. We huddled inside listening to our audiobook and willed the sun to set. Around 10pm, it finally was dark enough to mellow out the children, and we were safe for the next few hours... 
At 8am, we awoke with a start and said to each other, "We've gotta get out of here [before the children wake up]." We hiked back to the tramstop, managed to ride the tram without paying for the 3.80CHF tickets (ouch!), and hopped onto the first train to Interlocken. From there, we took a Jungfraubahn train to gorgeously situated Lauterbrunnen. I thanked my lucky stars that Chris has such a knack for chosing the most amazing camping locations. We had camp set up by 11am and set off to find some rosti! Hotel Oberland hooked us up with the amazing potato dish with local swiss cheese and other tasty morsels on top. 


We took the cable car and then a tram up to Winteregg. The hike back was beautiful but brutal on our legs. We're still recovering! (But found that fondue and ice cream help.)
