This shall be a short and quick entry because I've only got a little time left on my internet usage. Getting here was quite interessting because I had to take about five different trains from Avignon where I had spent the night before. The last of which reminded me of the Enchanted Forrest's rip off of Splash Mountain, Doug you remember. Regardless of how slow it was, I could never complain about the view; valley's with little towns nestled in them, surrounded by the Alps is not something I see everyday.
The view from my hostel is fantastic, and I greatly appreciate the recomendation from Pat, because it's been fantastic here. I'm in an eight person dorm, all by myself due to the slowing down of the travel season. I went on a four hour hike yesterday that's made my joints a little sore, and tired me out a bit. I did live a little bit by the Jon Jaqua mantra of indecision (If the Indians were chasing you, would you do it?) and did a little bit of rock climbing on my hike (Sorry mom). I think I'll head back up later tonight to watch the sunset from one of the more populated spots, so that I will be able to see where I'm walking on my way back down.
I'm heading to Interlaken tomorrow and am going to try to stay at a hostel with a Bouldering wall. I've been fairly frugle here in Gryon because apparently there are amazing options of activites in Interlaken, including parasailing, white water rapids, and all other kinds of fun stuff.

John Stokes if you parasail it better be over a body of water!!!
ReplyDeleteyesssss! im so glad you made it to gryon. did you get a look at the stone wall by the apartment things down a bit lower from the main hostel? if so, you should know that the sweat and heinekens of doug and myself were involved in the construction of it. thinking now, i guess it was my first experience with wwoofing even though i didn't know what it was at the time. the owners were real chill and i remember, particularly, how smokin' the wife was. when are you coming back so we can share a fine malted beverage together again?
