I am currently in Interlaken, Switzerland in the middle of beautiful mountains and lakes, cows and chataeus. It's so scenic and just how I imagined Switzerland to be. On Thursday I met up with Alissa in Geneva; she was coming from Nice, France since she had been traveling while I took my exams. While in Geneva we saw (in addition to hundreds of banks and clock stores!) the UN and the Red Cross Museum, both of which were very interesting to tour. We explored the cathedral there and went to the impressive archeology musuem underneath. We played lifesize

chess and made ourselves dizzy on seesaws and sit and spins in the park. We also managed to rent bikes and take a boat cruise of Lake Geneva for free. Since the Euro Cup 2008 is being held in Geneva right now, there were "football" fans from all over the world decked out in the colors of their home team so it was fun to share in the spirit of all the festivities. The city has even suspended a giant soccer ball above their famous fountain in the middle of the lake. So after two nights there, w

e headed to Interlaken in the central part of the country where we had to swap from our incredibly basic French vocabulary to an almost unpronouncable set of German words.
Tomorrow we head on to Munich. Here's the rest of our itinerary with basically 2 nights in each place:
*Munich, Germany (with day trips to Dachau and Fussen)
*Salzburg, Austria
*Vienna, Austria
*Prague, Czech Republic
*Berlin, Germany
*Amsterdam, The Netherlands (with a day trip to The Hague)
*Then back to England for all of 6 hours before I return HOME on June 23rd.
