This morning we checked out of Happy Inn Hostel in Interlaken, and took the train to visit the Beutel’s in Wadenswil, a small town overlooking Lake Zurich just 20 minutes from Zurich by train. On our way we stopped for a couple of hours in Bern, the country’s capitol city. We enjoyed our walk up and down the main street in Bern, stopping to take in the beautiful buildings and architecture along the way. We weren’t sure where to eat, and in an effort to save money just decided on Burger King. Then we were off to Wadenswil. Klaus and Uta were there to greet us, and take us to their home. We chatted a little while, and upon their suggestion took a ship from there to Zurich to meet Valeska. It had been 13 years since Katie had seen her, but she spotted her as soon as we got off the ship. Valeska was nice enough to show us around the old part of town, and as we were walking Switzerland scored a goal against the Spanish in the World Cup, something that wasn’t supposed to happen. Valeska said it was a miracle, and all of Zurich went crazy! It was a lot of fun to see. We then headed back to Wadensil on the train to have dinner at the Beutel’s. We had a great meal, and after watched some old videos of the Fischer/Beutel kids playing in Midland, MI. Definitely a blast from the past! After a great night of catching up and reminiscing, it was time to say goodbye to Valeska and Jurg, and off to bed we went.
