Day 69: interlaken

  The snow is lovely and everywhere. Interlaken is a small town near some of Switzerland's ski fields. It is between two lakes hence the name. We hike to one of the lakes and it is stunning. The town itself has some shops and cute things to offer but is pretty quiet. Later we do a chocolate tour at a chocolatier. It is fantastic. The guy showed us how they make their chocolate and all the while there is a tray of all sorts of truffles for us I sample as we please- dangerous! Yes I end up having probably more than 20 truffles in the hour... And feel quite ill afterwards but it does not turn me off chocolate no way. That night we lounge in the outdoor spa and our new besty/ roommate cooks us curry because he is a chef from new Zealand. It was pretty difficult to find curry ingredients in interlaken but he did his best and it tasted good. We drink wine and head to the hostel bar for a bit then to bed.
