Oh my lord, Switzerland. What a magical pace. The beauty of this country is unbelievable. I stayed in a quiet little town called Lauterbrunnen. Now for some one that is 24 and has never seen snow, you could imagine my excitement at the chance of maybe seeing snow! I also was a little unsure if I even wanted to see it, I know- that doesn't make sense right? Well I'm travelling solo, and really wanted to share an experience such as seeing snow for the first time with some one that I'm pretty close with, some one that I love. In particular, my family. But things don't always go your way. And this is how my first encounter with snow went. I'm sitting on the bus minding my own business and some Lunatic shouts "oh my god SNOW" my immediate reaction is to look up. Damn, just saw snow. My tiny little heart broke a bit. (Insert sad face emoji here) there is a silver lining to this though, at least I didn't have to walk around Switzerland with my head down anymore. And I mean does it really count if you don't get to touch it? After all, it was only snow on a mountain. Anyway, enough about my lame emotions towards snow. Much like lake Como, Switzerland is another awesome place for outdoor activities. White water rafting, paragliding, sky diving.. And my favourite Hiking. I actually feel like I'm a semi professional hiker these days, God I have hiked some mountains in the last 7 weeks. I had two options on my chosen day of hiking, do the leisurely stroll hike (a hike for babeh's) or the epic mountain and town view hike (hard, sweaty constant incline hike) we chose the hard one, and I'm almost certain all of us at one point regretted our decision. MUST SOLDIER ON. The higher we climbed the more snow I could see ultimately resulting in more excitement and enthusiasm climbing the mountain, I would even go as far as saying a slight skip here and there. Cue cow bells, more excitement. My inner Julie Andrews also made an appearance across the mountain as well. If you don't know who Julie Andrews is, shame on you. And shame on your parents, you've been robbed! I also tried my best attempt at yodelling. Voice of an angel... Not really, but goats did make there way down the hill. So I guess that counts for something.
