Switzerland Day Four

Are you tired of the day by day account of our vacation? Be glad you don't have to come over and watch the slide show!

On Day Four, we took a ferry ride to a larger city, Interlaken. We needed to buy Nils new pants since we only packed 2 pairs- one was dirty (see snow and mud reference, yesterday) and the other had a broken waistband. Rather than drive half an hour to the city, we drove 10 minutes to the port and took an hour and a half ferry ride there and back. Because of the ferry timing, we had only about an hour and a half to find trousers in a town we knew nothing about. Stress! Yes, we did end up getting some pants.

Of course Jay had to wear his rain pants (rubber overalls- what are they called in English?) and wellies on the boat because that is what sailors do, Mama.

On our ferry back, we were lucky (co-incidence!) enough to catch a paddle boat back. The kids were mesmerized by the machination of it all. We were lucky- it was the most beautiful day of our whole trip and we spent three hours of it cruising a crystal clear lake. Does it get any better? (See Day Five! Ha ha ha!)
