Lazy Falken Backpackers, Interlaken

Interlaken is a great starting point to hit the mountain areas and many adventure sports (including Sky Diving and other things you won’t catch me doing). We stayed at The Lazy Falken Hotel, which is less than 10min walk from Interlaken West Train Station, and is a pretty cool hostel. They have a great kitchen for use, bar downstairs, terrace up the top, projector to show the football, fussball table and they can organise all of the crazy adventures you want. Rooms are smallish but you wont be there long, have en suite shower and toilet, and even a small TV which I hope you never turn on! unfortunately they don’t have lockers but will keep stuff at reception for you.

After Christoph went home to do the whole “work” thing, I met some cool people in the hostel bar, including Aussie (surprise), Swedish, Brazilian, German and American. We had a few drinks and learned the famous Beer Pong game from the Yanks.
