Day 1- Geneva
Day 2- Gruyeres (home of the cheese and a fantastic castle)
also a walled city named Morat
and then we did some indoor rock climbing before bed.
Day 3- Grindelwald (alpine village) The clouds were low all day long so I only caught glimpses of the actual alps through the clouds, but it was a pretty valley neverthless.
On the way back from Grindelwald we had to change trains at Interlocken Ost. As we got off the train we saw a big production crew with their camera pointed at us. We thought we were famous. But no, they were actually shooting a film. We entertained ourselves greatly watching and critiquing their moviemaking antics. We anticipate the release of this Tollywood film (not Bollywood, but another brand of Indian moviemaking) primarily because it might star the backsides of our heads. Unfortunately, the paid extras didn't know the name of the film they were being paid to extra in, so we will probably never get to see if we made the final cut.
Day 4- via feratta (the iron way). We climbed around on the face of a rock for about an hour and a half, linked on to iron guide wires. It was an interesting mix of rock climbing, alpine bridges, and sliding down muddy footpaths. We were praying that it wouldn't rain on us, and it didn't rain until we were on the way back home.
