When we got into our hostel the day before, all of us had to take off our shoes in the entryway and wear these slipper-flip-flop things. The Valley Hostel prides itself on cleanliness. We walked into our hostel room and were greeted by our retired British roommate:"Hello. My name's Peter. We've all got matchin' flips!"
That afternoon we took a cable car into Gimmelwald higher up the mountain. Cable car is the only way to get up there and there are no cars up there! We met the cheese and egg lady who was more than happy to have so many customers from the Mountain Hostel. We actually bought her out! When Jess and I bought eggs and cheese for the next morning she had to go out into the chicken house and get fresh eggs!
1 egg = .40 Swiss francs
Eating fresh food from a real egg lady who stores cheese in her 200 year old cabin = priceless
We hiked around in the morning. The best part was finding mountain strawberries. Snack, anyone??
