Interlaken

We woke up to low clouds so we decided to save the investment and avoid the disappointment of wandering up into the mountains today. Instead we rented bikes and made a trip up the southern shore of Lake Brienze and then west again a little way down the River Aare toward Lake Thun. We had lunch and then biked through Interlaken to the Funky Chocolate Factory for a payoff of chocolate fondue. It was raining as we rode back to the hostel.

For good reason, Interlaken has been a tourist destination for at least 600 years. One of the hotels here claims to have been founded before 1323.
