Love Heidleberg

Got up at 8:00 and Clarence stayd at the hotel and thought Breakfast there would be better for him and his Gluten-ness.

Susan, Joey-Lynn and I went into the old city for Breakfast. I ate something with lots of lactose and got pretty sick for most of the morning. Not a good way to travel. The pills didn't help me.

Checked out the bridge again during the day light (and sobber) and met Clarence.

I wasn't feeling very well so he drove out of the city. AFter a couple of hours I took over the wheel. We had our longest drive of the trip today over 5 hours. At times it was pretty hairy bumper to bumper traffic at 130 kph and people passing me like I was standing still.  Going into Switzerland from Germany I expected big mountains but it was rolling hills...... then suddenly bam..... holly crap some of the largest mountains I have ever seen. Absolutely amazing really. It freaked us out.

Entering the Junfrau region was incredible. Huge magestic mountains on either side. unreal. We found our hotel and went for a bite to eat and promtly headed to the nearest pub .... like you would..... It's 12:10 and everyone is a sleep now...... here we share a small room with the 4 of us. But we are smack in the heart of the Jungfrau and able to walk every where.

Tomorrow we take a cable car up the mountai and hike and climb for several hours, taking another cable car up 3000 meters. It should be breath taking. We hike down and will be going to an underground cavern where there is a waterfall in a cave under the mountain....... can't wait, but tomorrow will be our most challenging day really and we all have stiff muscles from the hiking around so far.
