Hamburg, Germany-TRYING TO HAVE PATIENCE FOR THE BLOODY TRAIN TO DENMARK!!!!! It's five and a half hours away, and hot damn, I can barely contain myself. I am sure that people are wondering where all the damn pictures are, I have over 200 to upload, so they will be coming in the next few days. A short summary: Innsbruck was great, Cam and I parted ways in Rothkeutz Switzerland, he traveling on Alex's EuroRail Pass and I on mine. He was on his way to Luzern, while I was bound for Cham with Fiery Chris Davidson (fieryCD.net-for true adventure). Friend from Cali who started working out here about a month ago. His primary concern these days in which mountains he wants to look at when he wakes up in the morning and dodging the women who runs the hotel he's staying when he has guests that he isn't "supposed" to have, moi. On Thursday I took the steepest cog wheel train in Europe to the top of Mt. Pilatus for some wonderful views of the surrouding areas. I got those for about five mintues before the lightening began cracking and I began the journey down on the cable car. Friday was the summit of another mountain after looking around one of the towns that Chris is thinking about living in. Switzerland seems to have three things that naturally occur: Mountains, Lakes, and mountains and lakes. What stunning vistas. Well, if only the clouds weren't there. It was like going to San Fran on a FOGGY day. Another short summit trip. But it meant another ferry ride. As we were chugging around the lake, a small group of WWII aircraft flew over, neat. Then they did it again, but closer. Cool. Then 15 F/A-18 Hornets flew over. HUH? AIRSHOW. For the rest of the 45 minute boat ride we were treated to a flight show of epic perportions. Barrel rolls, loops, figure eights, etc. Wonderful stuff. Got a few decent shots from the boat. On Saturday Chris and I decided to head to Interlaken for the day. We got up a "little" late. 10am. Not bad, we'd been having some late nights and sleeping in was a good idea for both of us. Took the train down to Interlaken and ended up getting there a little later than anticipated. Like 2:30. We left at 12. Whoops. So, the last train out was at 6:35. What do we have time for AFTER eating breakfast? ParaGliding. What a blast that was. The view was nothing less than spectacular. Chris had my digital camera and shot a few short movies of a "corkscrew", which is just what it sounds like. You spin and spin and spin. It was awesome. The other trick that we did was called a wingover, where you basically pull the wing to turn so hard that it drops to the left or the right and you swing underneath it. The sense of falling was pretty great. Hit the ground at 6:05. Walk cautiously up to the train station, neither of us was able to walk quite straight, get on the train and head back to Cham. This morning started early with a 7am bus to the train station, change trains in three places, and here we are in Hamburg.
