Final Day in Switzerland: Hiking, Boat Ride, and Chocolate Class

Image
My time in Switzerland was going by way too fast. I woke up on my last day in Interlaken with another full day. I had three things left on my must do list: hiking, boat ride, and chocolate! Since I had a busy day, I was up early to get to Harder Klum to hike. This is the mountain in Interlaken and the viewpoint at the top is known as the "Top of Interlaken" (https://www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/harder-kulm/). There is a funicular to the top, but I wanted to hike up.  I couldn't go to Switzerland and not get a hike in. It was a dreary morning, but at least it wasn't raining. I started in multiple layers, but ended up in a tank top as I started to go up. As the wind picked up and the rain came closer, I ended up putting my layers back on.

This is a really late post. I have been keeping busy or being lazy lately, but this trip was too amazing to forget to document it. I have been following Kristin from "Be My Travel Muse" (www.bemytravelmuse.com) and I have found it to be very inspiring. She writes about traveling the world as a solo female.

As my friends are getting married and having kids, I realize my list of travel buddies is getting smaller. So instead of waiting for others to join me for a vacation, I decided to go on my own.
