Today we tried and tried to do so many things. Really- we slept in a little since we had a HUGE day yesterday and then we wanted to take care of planning a few things for the coming days. After doing so, we went grocery shopping for meals the next couple of days. This budget thing is hard sometimes! Ha ha! After finding some good take-away meals we had a picnic and continued walking around in Interlaken. Probably the highlight of the day, between walks, picnics, shopping, and organizing, was giving Tripp a haircut... in the middle of a park.
Always being concerned with taking care of ourselves even away from the USA, we decided to set up right in the middle of a park in Interlaken and had some on-lookers and passerbys, and even one woman, Denise, who stopped to talk and take our picture. Ha! Laura will be getting her hair cut later tonight...on the balcony of our room. Tripp can't wait for his first try with the scissors!...Laura, however, can.
Dinner and dessert was great, too, and we got to hang out more with our roommates today, who we love. Oh yeah- and we did all of these not-so-exciting things in the Swiss Alps...so that's pretty cool.
We would tell you what we were going to do and what we tried to do, but we can't...in case it happens tomorrow. Suspense may just kill you... we know.
Love,
Tripp and Laura
ps- Reasons why Funny Farm hostel is one of our favorite sights on our trip:
* A Saint Bernard and black Lab live in the lobby and go in and out as they please...or at least we let them in and out as we please.
* The hostel is inside of a building labeled "Hotel Mattenhof"
* The carpet in our room consists of olive green and burnt orange paisley
* Our roommate's name is Forrest
* The same 5 workers run the reception/check-in, outdoor adventure bookings, and the bar
* The shower in our room is turned on by turning on the sink faucet and redirecting the water to the showerhead
* We have no closet space because the room is so small that the beds have to be shoved up against them.
It's basically perfect.
A Little about Us
- Tripp and Laura
- We are two friends who are dreamers... and dreamers who like to actually live our dreams. So, here we are, planning a backpacking excursion across Europe. Neither of us have left North America and now we are traveling halfway across the world... and we couldn't be more excited about it!

Gee, Shan, what about Uncle Tripper??? The kids don't miss HIM? I mean, it's not like he doesn't play with them, too! Nice. Real nice.
