At the end of our first day in Switzerland we headed into the Alps. On the drive between Lucerne and Interlaken we caught our first glipse of the famous blue-green lakes surrounded by classic chalets. Of course, 'blue-green' does not do justice to the uniqueness of these lakes. This was a color that neither of us had ever seen before. Exploring these lakes would have been a trip in itself but we had more to see!
On our first full day we woke up in Interlaken and headed straight for hills. We drove into Grindelwald first and found lots of clouds pouring through the valley. The clouds mixed with the morning light in a really cool way which of course meant lots of pictures!
After getting to Grindelwald we decided to explore the upper parts of the town by car. This ended up being pretty treacherous since the roads were super steep and barely wide enough for our little compact rental. But of course, the views made it alllll worth it.
You know those moments when you can barely believe that what you are looking at is real? Usually it is seeing a sunset or seeing Yosemite or some place that is just unimaginably beautiful. Well it was only Day 1 of this trip and we were experiencing more of these moments than we could count.
After Grindelwald we drove out to the Lauterbrunnen valley which is one of the places that we have both been dying to visit for years! The valley is surrounded by massive cliffs and dozens of waterfalls that come pouring out of the mountains into the valley below. Even with the clouds blocking some of the high peaks in the distance, this place definitely lived up to the hype and proved to be one of our favorite stops on the trip.
