We were up super early to pull off our plan! We needed to leave our ABNB, take the train to a certain stop, race to put our bags in a locker, get back on another train and head back to the stop we needed, then switch to another train to have a last minute hike because the weather app said it was supposed to be a beautiful day. We did the math and figured we could still make our flight back.
We were the only ones up and awake :)
The morning sun from the train
i took a picture of our locker with our luggage to make sure I didn't forget which one I put it in. We had 3 minutes to get it in the locker and back to the right platform for the train. Thankfully, Regan could move much faster than me because I was moving much slower by this time in our trip than at the beginning ;)
Our train that ran from Lauterbrunnen to Interlaken.
This was the train to Schynige Platte...the hike that we had to cancel on Monday due to rain. This was the hike Regan was looking forward to the most. So, we were super excited to try to squeeze it in before our flight.
This train was an hour straight up the mountain just to be able to start the trail. We had to opt to do the short hike instead of the long hike.
We started here, heading towards to flower gardens first.
The views were spectacular! This was by far the best day ever! We could have stayed up there all day just looking at the beautiful views.
And yes, we did start singing ALL the songs from The Sound of Music ;)
We left the flower gardens and started the hike.
Hiking along the ridged... the beautiful lakes on one side and the snow capped mountains on the other.
This is the town, Interlaken (between the lakes), where we left our luggage.
This is probably one of my favorite views...the wildflowers, hills, mountains, blue skies...just amazing!
This was the last hooray...climbing the stairs to one last view before we complete the loop to head back down the mountain.
saw a bee in this flower
We said that this flower reminded us of Horton Hears a Who.
Thankful we chose the right path ;)
Waiting for the return train
Taking it all in

We actually got to see/hear the alphorn players!!
Heading back down on the train.
Our final picture. We are in the air and heading back to Italy. This was an amazing senior trip and I am so thankful for all of these memories with Regan before she heads off to college!
