Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

The Mountain Hostel was one of the most memorable places I stayed in my trip across Europe. We had to take a few trains, a bus and a cable car to get to the hostel in Gimmelwald, Switzerland. We'd heard that it was a great place from another traveler when we were in Florence. We were not disappointed. We went for a little walk one day that ended up being a four and a half hour hike. The green of the grass was the greenest green I'd ever seen. The air felt so crisp and fresh. It was as if there was something different in the air that made me hold my head a little higher. We drank water from a fresh stream. When we got to this point, we could hear the faint sound of cow bells in the valley below.
