Interlaken is a beautiful classic-swiss feeling town situated between two lakes as well as two mountain ranges and as one might imagine is breathtaking to behold. It is one of the more beautiful places I have seen and I really enjoyed my short stay there. I stayed in a the most famous hostel in Switzerland, and one of the most famous in Europe - Balmer's Herberge, the oldest private hostel in Switzerland. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, staff and people I met here, and will definitely return her if I come back to Interlaken. I was pleased to meet the owner who everyone calls Uncle Eric, who is one of the friendliest and most generous people I have met as well as his kind daughter who works at the desk sometimes. So far on my journey this has been my favorite hostel not only for the location, but also for the atmosphere, people, and home-like feel. I went ice skating on one rainy day with a couple of Canadians I had met in the hostel and due to my unsuccessful attempt to skate backward on hockey skates, had to get a doctor to apply butterfly bandages to my eye brow. It didn't hurt much at all, but was deep enough to require a hospital visit to see if it needed stitches or not.
