Interlaken - Switzerland, 9/11/1907 to 9/12/2007
We got up at 8 pm in the village of San Martino ( Italy ) to take the road towards Interlaken . And at 10 am we had to stop to take photos because the scenery with snow falling was incredible. We were at a height of 2509 meters and a temperature of 2 degrees and from there we see the impressive mountain chain Swiss Alps. This mountain seemed much more beautiful than the mountains of Anapurna Pokhara in Nepal .
At 15 hours surprises us to enter the territory of Europe's smallest country called Liechtenstein , which we had no idea that we would know.
The route, passing through several small towns with picturesque houses that are quite large. They look very attractive with colorful flowers on their balconies. Also in all we were going this route Found over train because the tracks were being found beside the road near the villages.
At 17:30 pm we arrived at Oberalppass mountain pass at an altitude of 2046 mts. Here there was less snow in Innsbruck but we find a lake sorpendió product of melting of the highest mountains yet.
At 18:30 pm we reached the mountain pass Sustenpass, after being at the height of the clouds, fog and driving with a lot of looking over the snowy peaks with waterfalls and thaw who came to the same route.
Just before reaching the town of Interlaken we find a fjord , such as Norway with emerald green water. So at 19:30 pm we reached the town and after crossing a river with spectacular green water tcs camping Interlaken find only two or three blocks from the mall. He was among the best campsites we were and not pay anything because we closed the front desk and went before it opened.
At 20 pm we were going through the small downtown. We walked the streets full of restaurants, jewelers and watch shops with famous brands like Rolex and Gucci . We are with traditional Swiss , ie Victorinox pocket knives , their utensils to make fondue, their Lindt chocolates, and its famous Rolex watches .
To give you an idea of \u200b\u200bhow small this town, Interlaken has only 5206 inhabitants in an area of \u200b\u200b4.4 km 2 . Interlaken is a town Swiss canton of Bern , located in the district of Interlaken , which is the capital. The city's name comes from its geographical position between the lakes Thun and Brienz , this name was adopted in 1891 to replace its old name: Aarmühle. Despite the size of its population, the city has two train stations ("Interlaken Ost" and "Interlaken West") and two ski lifts, and Harderbahn Heimwehfluh . Train connections in Interlaken serve Jungfrau region via the Berner Oberland Bahn , with connecting lines on the transition from Lucerne Brunig address. Connections via the main line to serve Interlaken Spiez , Thun and Bern . The main attraction is to take the train to the Jungfrau region (4158 m) and whole Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn , Declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO .

After strolling through the small shopping center we went to eat pasta with tomato sauce on the beautiful camping and sleep early because the next day we had to go towards Venice (Italy ) passing first through the lakes of As ( Italy ).
