Amongst the most breathtaking views in the world, there are a few things we learned about the Swiss while we were here:
1) There is a VERY specific way to do cheese fondue. If you stray at all from the proper routine, sorry, it's just not Swiss.
2) The stinkier the cheese, the better the cheese is.
3) If you are at all OCD, this is the place to be. The Swiss are all about order and routine.
4) If you visit Interlaken or surrounding areas during July or August, you are most likely to be surrounded by South Koreans or Chinese. This is their number one vacation hotspot. We were the minority at our hostel.
5) If it is raining the morning of your hike, it's best to just wait it out-- unless you have full rain gear.
All these things we learned through personal experience. I am writing this on the train, as we wind through green, luscious mountain towns. Every turn we take, there is a new sight to take in. There are log cabin like homes climbing up steep, narrow hills, goats and cows grazing in the fields, and snow capped mountains in the distance. Switzerland has been beautiful.
