We left Interlaken around 8:30am and experienced our first rain in our whole trip. The Swiss country side was just as you expected it to be, green grassy mountains, cows with bells, little swiss villages dotted along the mountain roads, houses with colorful window boxes of flowers.
We stopped at the Nestles Chocolate factory first - Amy was in heaven, lots of free samples! Then we headed to the cheese factory for a tour and tasting.
Next we stopped at Chillion Castle, a medieval castle on the shores of Lake Geneva- you need to keep reminding yourself you are wandering through a castle from the 15th century - just like in the school books you read about.
Then it was driving through some more beautiful scenery to Tasch, where we caught the train to Zematt, a carless town, where we stayed for two nights as we are planning to go up and see the Materhorn.
