So, right now I am in Switzerland.
Finally,
after many years of travel
and in this video, I'm going to show you my first day
in Lauterbrunnen and Interlaken.
So, we're at Spiez right now
and we have two more train stops till we get to
where we're trying to go.
Holding on like a monkey
So we're in Interlaken Ost.
Finally we found a train
where we have seats.
Alright, after a full day of journey,
we finally arrived in Lauterbrunnen.
Hopefully, I'm pronouncing that right.
And we got this guesthouse here,
which is this, like, really
nice little pretty room.
The scene where you come into the city is just insane.
You can come in and you can see
the ice capped or the snow capped mountains all around you.
And then you can see all these waterfalls.
Lauterbrunnen is actually known as the valley of 72 waterfalls
because there are like 72 different waterfalls in here.
Right now, I'm going to go and try to see the biggest one.
Right behind me there is the town church.
I don't think this has like a crazy history or something.
It's just a really pretty church
in a really pretty valley.
Man there's so many, like, pretty little houses
on pretty grass fields and plains and hills out in the middle of nowhere here.
The cool thing about Switzerland so far is this is exactly how I imagined
it would look like from like YouTube, from pictures I've watched my whole life.
Like the moment we took the train and it crossed over to Switzerland,
my sister just told me, ‘Yup, this looks like Switzerland. This is what I expected.’
Oh, the bell’s going off.
So it's starting to rain a little bit.
I need to go to an ATM real quick and hopefully it clears out after that
so I can get some better views of the waterfall.
Behind me right there is Staubbach Falls, the really high waterfall.
It's like 300 meters high.
So it's raining a little bit, but I paid way too much for accommodation to stay in.
So I'm going up.
Seems like there's a little bit of a hike
to get up to the best viewpoint.
Looks like I have to go through a tunnel to see the waterfall.
There’s a lot of water coming here from the waterfall.
Looks like literally like it's raining very heavy.
So it's very hard to tell from this angle,
but I'm literally behind
the longest waterfall. You can climb
all the way to the top
and you're right behind it.
And on the way up
you get really, really wet.
Like an umbrella, I brought one, is not enough.
You need like a raincoat,
but once you're behind this place,
it's like a really nice view
and it's like pretty dry over here.
This is such a sick view, you can see the whole valley
and you can see the waterfall fall right in front of you.
It's pretty insane.
Alright, so I'm done exploring the town for the day.
And we're here now to get some cappuccino,
which is only like $5,
which is not bad at all compared to, like, what I was told
Switzerland would be like.
Well, the Burgers here are like $25.
So that's like a bit iffy but $5 is not bad.
You can pay $5 at a.. for a fancy coffee at a Starbucks.
So I think this is pretty good.
- Thank you.
Time to try out the five Franc coffee.
This is really nice.
- Hmm... nice.
Okay so today I'm not in Lauterbrunnen anymore.
I'm in Interlaken
which is this like small town between two massive lakes in this region.
There's actually this really cool river
with the turquoise water next to the train station that connects both of those lakes.
So we were planning on doing some pretty cool stuff today,
but it just started raining.
So I don't know if it's going to happen anymore. Let’s see.
So found this hostel nearby and taking a small ice cream break
while the rain slows down.
Three Francs for like an ice cream is not bad.
Finally it stopped raining,
but it's still kind of cloudy.
So we're going to take this very expensive cable car or like funicular
to the top of a mountain
where we hope to see this magnificent sunset.
But it's kind of cloudy right now.
I don't even know if we're going to see the sun.
Should be a good view.
I just hope it doesn't rain again.
So, how do you feel?
- Excited.
Okay, we're in the cable car right now that is taking us all the way to the viewpoint.
It's a very interesting funicular.
Sorry, it's not a cable car. It’s like a train.
This is 60 degrees inclined,
which is more than what most funiculars do.
It's going to take us something like 700 meters or like
two and a half thousand feet up in the sky.
What did you say?
- I won’t sit next to you. You are not letting me take pictures.
So tragic... - Yes.
So we just came to the top.
The view is great, but it's drizzling again a little bit.
So we're taking our umbrellas out.
So there's a small path leading to the
viewpoint up ahead.
I think it's like a five minute walk.
This is really cool because you can now see both massive lakes
and the town of Interlaken between the two lakes.
So the best thing about this viewpoint we're going to is that you can usually see
all the big mountains,
Jungfrau
Mönch
Eiger
but now it's so cloudy you can't really see much here.
So this is where people usually eat outside when it's not raining, of course.
I’m at the most in-demand point for a photo shoot,
but it's windy and raining, as you can tell, so noone else is here.
So we found two cows on the peak.
If you do come to the restaurant,
they have like these traditional Swiss musicians playing some traditional Swiss music,
which is very interesting to watch.
We were in there for like a very overpriced pizza so we could have a place to sit
while it was raining outside.
So I don't think the clouds are going to part
and the biggest mountains are still kind of covered in the clouds.
If you had to come here,
I would recommend
like coming here on a clear day
so you can see all the mountains in the background.
But this is still an insane view.
I can see a lot of other mountains that are like near here.
Not as high as the Jungfrau maybe.
But it's sick!
It's what, 8:30 p.m.
So I think this is going to be my last...
sunset,
however much of the sun I can see, in the Switzerland,
because tomorrow we're going to Germany
and I have to fix my laptop or buy a new laptop
because it's not working at all,
which is bad for me
because I work while I travel and edit.
So I can't edit right now.
So these videos won't be out for a while,
probably for like a month or more than a month,
but I'll try to put it up as fast as I can,
but that is going to be it from this video.

I'll catch you guys in the next video from
I have no idea where.
Oh, I do know. I do.
The next video is going to be from this really cool thing we did yesterday
where we went up to one of those mountains that's covered by the cloud and the fog right now,
and I hiked across this glacier to almost go to this other mountain,
saw a lot of really cool stuff.
It's the top point of Europe
or not the highest peak, but like the top train station.
It's pretty sick.
I just decided to make that a different video because there's so much going on there.
Alright, I'll catch you guys in the next video from...
that and after that, I don't know where.
