Trip to Interlocken

Hey all, back from another weekend trip. This time we went to Interlocken in Switzerland. It's a pretty cool place that I will definately be going back to. Pretty much you can do all the adventure sports there, from sky diving to canyoning. I'm tempted to try skydiving, but it's much more expensive here then it is in Calgary, so maybe i'll just wait. But i'll definately do canyoning, rafting, zorbing (in a giant air bubble and roll down a hill, like jackie chan in that one movie), and parasailing. Anyways, it was a pretty cheap trip as all i had to pay for was 1 nights stay and beer (gotta love free travel after 7pm). Well, we go to our hostel; probably the crappiest one yet. Was pretty much a plastic tent with some bunk beds and a space heater. The roof was leaky, so whenever you touched to tent roof, water would seep in. O well, was only 25 francs, so I guess you get what you pay for. They had a game room and stuff so that was cool (more foosball, gonna try to play foosball in every country i visit). The next day, we decided to check out some other hostels for future visits. There was this one place called the funny farm. seems cool. We went to the pool there and there was a log that you can cross the pool. Keegs and Tim made it safely across but my balance was horrible and I took teh plunge :( Afterwards, keegs and tim dueled on the log, keegan lost that one. I'll post the video of keegan falling below. After that, keegan and his friends went whitewater rafting, but since me and tim were broke, we just did some hiking. the trails are pretty sweet and the views are amazing. After went to happy hour to eat and drink and stayed there till we had to leave. Not the most enjoyable time ,but next time, we'll be doing the adventure sports. Well, time for work tomorrow, later.
