Last day in Switzerland :(

[glacier_kitty]

Today was our last day in Switzerland. :( :( We went up another mountain in a gondola and went hiking through meadows and tamarack forests and cool scenery. Mom and I did the moderate hike this time. It didn't seem too bad at first, but then we hiked up this huge hill to a restaurant..owww. Soo tiring. Dave (the guy we went to the cathedral with) is ALWAYS in front way ahead no matter the terrain, if we're going up and down or have been walking for hours. That man is a MACHINE haha..the group nicknamed him "Mr. Speedy." :P It was nice to eat at the restaurant after that awful hill haha. After lunch we walked all the way back to the gondola and went down. When you got down you could hike up to this gorge if you wanted to. I didn't exactly want to since I was already tired and sore, but mom was going so I did too. It was uphill again..I didn't think I would make it, but I did. The gorge was pretty..lots of water rushing by haha. Then we walked back to the bus station (it was rather far from the hotel so we took the bus there). Most people decided to walk back but there was no way I was..my feet were KILLING me and I was just so tired. While waiting for the bus this cute kitty appeared and got up on a wooden railing thing by us! I pet it and it purred and looked happy! Awwww..I've so missed the sound of a purring cat. <3 It was so nice to relax at the hotel haha. I'm definitely sore :P

I'm so sad this is our last day in Switzerland. :( Besides getting sick, this vacation was AWESOME. I absolutely love Switzerland and must come back! The group we came with were so nice and caring..I'll miss them too. I hope to add some of them on Facebook! Tomorrow we take the train back to London and mom and I will spend a few more days at grandma's house before going home (Wisconsin seems like it was a long time ago by now :P)

Awww,isn't it sad how quickly vacations go by?
That sounds like a lovely last day though,if pretty exhausting.
You definitely have to come back one day, or maybe even go to Germany ;)

It sounds like you have been doing some crazy hikes! If that one was the moderate hike, I wonder what the advanced one was like haha. That one sounded pretty rough! I bet it was ultimately worth it though. That's awesome that you came across tamarack forests and that you happened upon a little kitty! Aww. That's great that you've bonded so well with your group too. I hope you are able to add a few of them on Facebook to keep in touch with them. That's pretty funny that that one guy is always up at the front hehe (Mr. Speedy lol I love it).

So happy to hear that you have been loving your vacation!!! It sounds absolutely AMAZING and I would LOVE to have a really long vacation like the one you're on now. Enjoy your last few days of it!!
