This morning I woke up feeling not that great..like I was getting a cold. Ugh! Though I was actually kinda surprised I hadn't got sick already with all the traveling I've done..for some reason I usually get sick in some way in Europe. Everyone on the train yesterday sounded like they had the plague..I felt so germy, ew. After breakfast we walked to the cathedral (we took the guy I thought had a stroke with us since he was traveling alone..he actually fell off something years ago). There were definitely lots of bells ringing haha. We couldn't really explore the inside since it was Sunday (it looked pretty from what I could see though), but we could walk up to the top! (You had to pay though..wtf?) Lots of stairs, ow. :P I liked looking at the gargoyles and decorations on the facade (I felt like the Hunchback of Notre Dame :P). It was actually pretty foggy when we got up there so we couldn't see much..boo! Of course the fog lifted when we got back down..fail haha. I bought some souvenirs and walked along the streets and river. Such a pretty city!! At 12:30 I think we all walked to the train station and boarded the first train of the day. After entering Switzerland (not sure when that was..I didn't see a sign) we got off that train and boarded another one. Suddenly everything was in German..that's even harder to decipher than French haha. The scenery gradually became more hilly and mountainous. Eventually snow capped mountains appeared! So pretty. I saw what looked to be the Eiger, but wasn't sure. Then a guy came over and was like "that's the Eiger!" Yay!! That's the mountain I most want to see..it has such an interesting climbing history. After riding on that train for awhile we got off and boarded ANOTHER one haha! Crazyy. We were definitely in the Alps now..so lovely. It wasn't too long till we got to Kandersteg, where we're staying for the next week. It seems like a cozy little town. After checking in at the hotel we met with one of the guides and she told us about the hikes we'd do (there's an easy and moderate one). One said we'd hike to a place that overlooks the North Face of the Eiger!! Mom and I of course opted for the moderate hike for tomorrow..we didn't come all the way to the Alps to do some baby hike. :P Surprisingly, the guy that has a very pronounced limp (he said he was born that way..like his legs and one arm didn't form right or something) said he was gonna go on the moderate hike too. He was like "if *I* can do it, you can too!" I hope he'll do ok! After the meeting we had dinner..it was soooo good..pumpkin soup, braised beef, mashed potatoes, flan..yumm. Then it was time to relax. You have to pay for the Internet here..ugh. I really hope my cold doesn't get any worse..hiking with a cold does not sound pleasant :/
