In the Swiss Alps...

Were not quite sure where we left off exactly, and its a little too difficult to go back and see, so were going to assume it was Florence, and if not...well then, we embarrassed ourselves!

Ok so after Florence we went to the Cinque Terre region, which is gorgeous. Like, actually yes everyone who says it is is telling the truth, it is gorgeous. We did relatively little here, we camped in a town called Deiva Marina. We relaxed on our beach, swam a lot, and we relaxed on some other beaches...swam some more. We walked along the coast for awhile too. We never quite made it into the forest, because on the day we planned to do that, we went to Genova first to get a ticket. This was supposed to be an easy task, but train wise and connections and all that good stuff meant that we didnt get back home until dinner. No problem, what did we do? We ate dinner then went to the beach and swam a little. Overall, this was a very good place to stay! We recommend it.

A funny coincidence though- I dont know if weve mentioned it before, but we sat next to a mother daugther duo on the train from Venice to Sorrento (they got of in Rome), it was funny but nothing special. Well surprisingly, we ran into them again on the train from Sorrento to Florence! We didnt ask why they were on that train, however we did make note of the coincidence and talk a little. They mentioned seeing us in line to buy our tickets and at McDs as well. Well, the final straw happened in Deiva Marina. We heard these two British women walking by (did I mention they were British?), when we looked up out of our tent we saw that it was the SAME mother daughter duo. I instantly yelled out to them and they came by for a visit, and we ended up hanging out with the daughter for an hour or so. We compared trips and realized that they also happened to stay in the same place as us in Venice (which is where our train departed from the first time we ran into each other), that they had gone to Sorrento after a night in Rome- why they were on the same train, but that they were ending their trip so no more coincidences! Speaking of running into people, this isnt the first time. We met a man in Edinburgh on a walking tour (Rachael, you remember the Pennyslvanian, right?), well we ran into him AGAIN in Berlin, on another walking tour. It was quite freaky! Talking about FREAKY, lookalikes. We may have mentioned Jeffreys (our brother) lookalike- met him in Florence, acted, looked (profile), talked, etc like Jeff. It was as if we were talking to Jeff! Similarly freaky, we saw someone who looked exactly like our cousin David in Sorrento. He didnt speak English, otherwise we would of sworn it was him. We were sitting playing cards, and he hung out nearby for a half hour or so and biked by a few times- enough to be sure that IT IS HIS TWIN.

Well I guess I should move on...

Switzerland! We went to Interlaken for 3 nights, and met a slew of very nice asians- very popular asian tourist destination. Its gorgeous, we went on free boat tours, walked around and read and ate near the shore. Laura is LOVING the mountains! Which works very well for here, Grindelwald, where we will be staying for the next three nights. Up in the mountains. We plan on "hiking", it will be hiking, but with a lot of stops to sit and take in the beauty, read, relax, eat, etc. A whole day adventure. Right now were cooking some food, and it may be ready, and seeing as Im starving Im gonna go!

We have free internet here so take advantage of it! Message or email us, and hopefully well update more regularly here.

Oh, and BTW, this is the last city before Rachel joins us in Paris. Were very excited!
