Interlaken is the popular spot to base yourself for all sorts of mountain activities in the Jungfrau region of Switzerland. The town is situated between two lakes and surrounded by dramatic mountain scape. From Interlaken we took a day trip to the Swiss capital of Bern, which is only an hour away and is more like a quaint town than a bustling capital city.

While we dragged ourselves down every single street with heavy packs on we couldn't help but notice that every single bar was absolutely bursting with people drinking wine and eating tapas all day long which m...
