today was a lazy day. and it was so nice.

we woke up at around 930am and made the immediate decision that we did not want to change in to a dorm room because we were so comfortable. it was definitely worth it. then went down to breakfast. the breakfast here is not nearly as good as wombats, but it's free. so we ate it. then we all fell asleep again for another hour. we are still recovering because we didnt sleep much in munich.

we woke up and finally got moving. evan had told me that there is a hooters in interlaken, so that was a must see. we knew we were going to have to eat lunch there. we all went downstairs and got directions to hooters. the walk to hooters was really beautiful, obviously. so much snow.

hooters was hilarious. ohh my gosh. the women who work there probably wouldnt get a job at hooters in america, no offense. we definitely noticed that they were not quite as beautiful as our girls. but that didnt stop us from eating there. we all ordered, i got wings and a coke. i love european coke. it tastes a lot better than american coke. the wings were really good, but i ordered a side of ranch. what i got was not ranch. it looks white, like ranch, but it was some sort of combination of italian dressing and ranch. so weird.

so funny

my wings and coke

after we filled up on wings, we headed back toward the hostel. the initial plan was to ride the gondola and see the sights of the mountain, but on our way back the visibility was really bad because the snow was starting to come down. back at the hostel we ran in to our new australian friend matthew (we made friends with him night sledding) and decided to go ice skating. boy was that hilarious. heather has never been before, and mikus is not very graceful. but we did learn that cydney was an ice skater when she was younger! she quickly became teacher to mikus and heather. but dont worry, heather wiped out multiple times.

skating!

once we worked our ab muscles laughing at the ice skating rink, we headed to this cute place called utopia for hot chocolate and brownies! yumm. we learned all about australian culture from our new friend, which was very interesting. we taught him what college football and tailgating was. now he is determined to come to america for a football game! war eagle!

thai food was on the menu for dinner. we went next door where we all enjoyed some pad thai. it was delicious.

tomorrow our train leaves at 130pm. we should arrive in rome around 8pm. we are going to try to do the gondola early in the morning. keep your fingers crossed that it all works out!
