So basically we love Switzerland. We went to Grindelwald today, knowing little about it except that it inspired J.K. Rowling to name a dark wizard after it which, frankly, was good enough for us.
Aaand it was pretty awesome. We were wandering around taking pictures and wondering what to do (after having taking shelter from the rain in the cutest cafe), when an American woman started chatting to us. She has been going to Grindelwald for forty years, and was on the way to a display of Landart from a recent competition that she said we had to see. So we ambled down the valley with her, and were rewarded by amazing artwork made entirely out of moss, sticks, bends in the river, etc. It was incredible. She also told us a lot about the mountains, taught us some German, and was generally very helpful. Basically she convinced us that leaving tomorrow would be crazy, so we came back to our hostel, booked another night, and are planning on taking a hike in Grindelwald tomorrow and then hopefully going to Lausanne for the night of the fifth, before Paris. Though expensive, Switzerland is definitely our favorite country we've been to so far-- everything's gorgeous, and we can frequently be heard to remark that something just looks 'so Swiss.' It's basically exactly what you imagine Switzerland to be, which is awesome.
So that's about it. We miss everyone!

Hi girls, I'm amazed at how much you're packing into every day. It's great that you've liked Switzerland so much that you're staying there longer. In Devon, we have the most horrendous gale going on - which meant that we couldn't let off the fireworks I'd planned for July 4th. But we had a very entertaining evening with 15 of my old high school friends (think of all of you in 39 years' time!)
love, Emma
