InterRockin!

Our goal today, as always, was to fit in with the locals as much as possible. We've learned that in Interlaken, this means being EXTREME! Hang-gliding, river rafting and bunjee jumping, oh my! Interlaken is the EXTREME sports capital of the world. As EXTREME individuals, we decided to wet our feet with the two most EXTREME activities Interlaken had to offer -- skydiving and canyoning. Galen took to the skies while Chris, Ray and Caitlin careened over cliffs.

Canyoning is much too gnarly to bring even the Olympus Stylus Tough that has so graciously captured every moment of the trip so far, so in lieu of photos, we will attach the following video of canyoning:

However, Galen has incredible pictures of her skydiving adventure:

In honor of our last night in beautiful Switzerland, the hostel threw us a party!

That's not actually true, but we did make sure to turn the "bad taste" party at Club Metro into our own personal party. Our version of a costume was mediocre at best, wearing all white.


We even won a prize....



Okay, that's not true either. We STOLE a prize from the actual winner and were kindly asked to participate in the party appropriately, or go to sleep. After many rounds of the macarena and pestering the bartenders, we decided our work in Interlaken was done.

Off to Rome tomorrow to meet up with API!
