Sunday 6/6

I stayed in Basel for another day with Julie, Rachel, and Erin. We went to some Roman ruins in the morning and then wandered the city in the afternoon. It was nice to not have a plan after having everything scheduled the last few weeks. We left for Lauderbrunin the next day.
A friend of Julie's met up with us in Basel and drove us to Lauderbrunin. This is a very small little town located up in the Swiss Alps. We walked to see one of the many local waterfalls and had some lunch at really good cafe. After we checked into our hostel, we took a gondola to Murren to take pictures and look around. This is another
small town that is located higher up on the same mountain. The scenery was stunningly beautiful. Absolutely amazing!
We went on a long walk the next day to another town. I really spent most of the walk trying to take in all that I was seeing. It was peaceful. I couldn't get over how many wild flowers there were all over the place! Loved it! We walked by the river and put our feet in. Bad idea! My feet went numb within about 30 seconds. It was some seriously cold water because the river was fed by a waterfall coming down off the alps. We all decided to just hangout and relax after we got back around 3pm.
I'll be on a train for the rest of the day in order to get to Arnhem in the Netherlands.
