Needless to say, after the BBQ party last night, today was not as early of a start. We were out on the road with Renzo by probably 11 AM. He basically gave us a great walking tour of Luzern. We walked the famous Chapel Bridge and then through the Old Town. Here, Renzo stopped by a Swiss bakery and surprised Laura and I with delicious bread with sugar and chocolate goodness. We were so impressed how quickly he got to know what we like! P.S. I am officially fat and I highly disapprove. Everyday I tell myself I'll start eating healthy, and everyday I fail. But I blame it on being surrounded by amazing chocolate and cheese. It is not my fault. From the bakery, we walked to the famous Lion Monument, which was so cool! It's a giant sleeping lion carved into a stone wall. All in one piece - it's just embedded in the wall. Really cool. Then we continued our wandering and dragged Renzo to some tourist shops so we could look for our collectible items. Finding a sufficient plate for me and a shot glass for Laura, we went to a grocery store to buy some drinks I'd read about as being very Swiss. There is one called Rivella which is a carbonated vitamin drink I think? It was really good! The other one is called Ovamaltine, which is a chocolate drink with vitamins. It pretty much tastes like chocolate milk, but better, because everything involving any dairy products is kind of guaranteed to be better in Switzerland. After walking over another famous bridge and seeing the extendable dam and river spikes we concluded our large circular walking tour.
Renzo's rugby game was next on the agenda. He is injured but we went to go support his team. The only other rugby game I'd seen was in South Africa from a stadium, so I was excited to see another game from the sidelines. Renzo gave Laura and I each a rugby jersey of his to borrow for the game. Then, since you can drink in public places everywhere in Europe, we brought along some left over beer from last night. We got to the rugby field and practiced throwing the ball around some more. Then we watched Renzo's team get completely annihilated by a Swiss-French team :( After the game, they had the most respectful handshake ritual. The losing team formed two lines that were facing each other, and the winning team walked in the middle and got congratulated. When the winning team was on the other side of the tunnel, they formed a tunnel themselves and the referee walked through the tunnel, followed by the losing team. It was so nice! I've never seen after game handshakes like that.
Then, I guess it is typical for the home team to invite the away team out for drinks after the game because it is a "gentleman's game". So we ended up back at Gracie Kelley's Irish pub a little bit later. The rugby boys showed up in white rugby polo shirts with ties! Very classy. I thought it was really cool how they left everything on the field and then just hung out and had a beer with each other after the games.
We had to leave after having a beer to get ready for Raclette! Yes, that's right, Renzo made Raclette for us. We were so excited to have this amazing meal again! Renzo invited another CouchSurfer and his girlfriend (they met via CouchSurfing...3 years ago haha) and Dave over for dinner...and there was also some other random guy who I still don't know his name or why he was at our dinner? He just kind of appeared. Anyway, I finally got a chance to tell Dave that I had a boyfriend, so he quickly (mostly) lost interest in me and Laura took one for the team the rest of the night. Hilarious for me to watch. Laura I don't think was so thrilled about it. She was just thinking...'dude, seriously? I just watched you hit on my friend for like a day. Seriously?' Boys are so funny and dumb sometimes...
So dinner was amazing. Laura and I both sat on the other side of the table away from Dave and enjoyed delicious melted cheese with bacon poured over warm potatoes, along with the pickles, onions, and baby corns like what we had at Roman's place. Man that meal is amazing! I want a Raclette set. I think they are difficult to get in the States though. After dinner we sat around chatting and drinking for a while and finally somebody asked if we all wanted to go out somewhere. We were like, heck yes, it's Saturday night and our last night in Switzerland, time for an adventure! By now, Dave had left to go back to the pub, probably because he finally figured out nothing would happen with Laura or I...
We went to this place that seemed like a really big apartment at first - it was on the 6th or 7th floor of a building that I thought had apartments in it. But the room was huge and I think it was more of a clubhouse/company type of thing. There are "members" that pay a monthly fee, and then you can come up to this room. No clue how people find out about it...maybe just from friends and word of mouth? It had two backrooms, one with a huge TV/projector screen, one with a smoky poker game going on. The main room was the largest. It had around 8 computers with internet access, and iPod dock, some tables and chairs (that had food on them), a little kitchenette, a bathroom, and a smaller TV with Wii games going on all night. Then you just keep track of what you drink and pay for it sometime during the night. It was a little confusing, but so much fun. It also had a random typewriter in the middle of the room that you could play with and type on...what? Haha. Again, the night was filled with new people from all over Europe. I really enjoyed a girl named Hannah from Germany, a girl from Russia, and then the CouchSurfers Toby (Estonia) and his girlfriend Nikki (Texas). The night got really fun when we found this green aligator head. You open his mouth and press his teeth. A random tooth makes his mouth clamp shut. We were in circles all night playing this game with whoever would press teeth. Of course, whoever presses the tooth that makes the mouth shut has to take a drink. So we spent quite a while playing with Mr. Crocodile. Then there were the Wii games too...haha. There was a dancing game going on all night that Laura and I played a couple of times. We looked absolutely ridiculous trying to keep up with the Wii dance moves. Renzo took a completely unneccessary video of us that our friends may or may not disown us for. It's really ridiculous. It was a crazy fun night. Finally we left and got a little lost on our way home. Renzo I think was only pretend lost but Laura and I really didn't know where we were. Turns out we were super close to Renzo's flat.
Laura and I immediately laid down on the air mattress facing opposite directions and Renzo was on the couch. We were all passed out in all of our clothes within a matter of seconds. Laura and I woke up at 6 AM. Renzo was off the couch, and we changed into our PJs and went back to sleep. A little crazy, but so much fun!
Quotes:
"Girls!" - Renzo (this is how he referred to us. In stores, in public, around friends, that was our call..."Girls!". We found this very funny).
Accomplishments:
Went to a rugby game.
Danced to a Wii dance game (I think I even won once - amazing).
Travel Tip:
Try to get rid of all your cash in a country's currency so that you don't get stuck with it or have to pay to get it exchanged.
[Sorry that one is really lame, but today was probably the most "local" day we had. It was just really normal day. We followed Renzo around and had a day in the life...in Luzern, Switzerland. Being rugby fan girls, eating traditional food, and partying with all sorts of cool people.]
There has been some fun drama with the Iceland volcano explosion. It has shut down tons of airports and flights across Europe. We didn't really think this would affect us, but it does actually because many more people are taking the trains since so many planes are grounded. We thought we would actually be stuck in Luzern longer, but we went to the train station and the trains we needed to get to Munich weren't full yet. This time around, we did reserve a ticket so we will for sure have seats!
Switzerland has been incredible. Before Switzerland I was really thinking I would have my future honeymoon in Thailand...but I think Switzerland is in the running now too :)

BBQ: "Awesome!"
For the first time in weeks we actually DID get up early! Renzo had the day free to hang out with us and took us to the Verkherhaus (sp?) Museum, which is a huge museum of transportation. It has separate buildings for major methods of transportation including trains, cars, planes, and boats. It also had exhibits on gondolas, space shuttles, zeppelins, hot air balloons, and different methods of communication (radio, TV, etc). It took about 45 minutes to walk to the museum which was a nice way to start the day. We also stopped to feed ducks and swans some bread which was fun.
The museum was a little expensive by our standards, but we knew we were going to be there all day. Also, in my reading about Switzerland I read that you should ask for student discounts even if they're not advertised. We asked, and they had a student discount - so yay for reading ahead about countries! Each of the major buildings of the transport museum surround a large open area. In this paved square there are tons of interactive things to do. There's an area that's like a really cool sandbox for kids where they can pretend to work on a railroad, there's a large trampoline, miniature go karts, and free scooters and bicycles that were being ridden all over the place. They definitely had a tandem bike and I definitely made Renzo ride it with me! So much fun - I really want a tandem bike! I love them.
The museum also had a really cool planetarium where we watched a presentation on the zodiac constellations. Pretty cool. There were a lot of interactive things and we pretended to be children all day. There are tons of learning games that either teach you something or simulate something. There are also lots of things that you can touch or climb on or under. In the communication section, you could record yourself with a green screen doing a fake news article or something and then email it to people. It was pretty creative as far as a learning platform. I'm always impressed when museums find ways to use technology and other methods to really bring people in and get them engaged.
Around 3:30 we headed to a grocery store because Renzo was throwing a huge CS BBQ at his flat. We picked up some essentials and began the food preparations. Laura and I helped peel and cut potatoes for a delicious potato salad, and when not in Renzo's service we worked more on the puzzle. We were getting so close! I really wanted to finish it before other people showed up because I'd worked so much on it and I didn't want somebody else swooping in and finishing it. Finally most of the food was ready to go and people weren't there yet, and Renzo and Laura and I put in the final puzzle pieces! We win! So many other people have been working on that puzzle for seriously like 4 months. The American Girls get some points.
The BBQ was awesome! So much fun! There must have been around 20 people there. Most of them CS hosts, a couple other CS guests (I think), plus some other friends. Everybody there was really cool. I don't remember most of their names....but it was great fun talking and laughing with new people all night. I'm constantly impressed with how easy it is to hang out and have fun with new people from all over the place. And by all over the place I mean Germany, Norway, Estonia, Poland, and probably some other places. I ate entirely too much food. I don't know how else to describe it...it was just really fun having so many cool people around eating, drinking, laughing, sharing stories, travel tips, contact information, etc. I couldn't even really tell you what I talked to most people about, nothing super substantial or life changing, just fun. Sometime during the party, we got talked into staying in Luzern another night. We had a CS host set up for Munich, but we had to use the Emergency Request forum so we didn't think he would be too heart-broken if we didn't come tomorrow (we have another host set up for Sunday and Monday night so being 'a day late' doesn't affect our plans with her at all). And that, once again, is the beauty of CS. No cancellation fees, just room for flexible traveling. Plans change, we meet people, we have fun, we have space in our itinerary to get talked into staying longer. I love it. We partied until 1 or 2, I don't really know. Finally everybody was out of the house and we crashed after another great night.
Quotes:
"Are you actually hungry or just addicted to chocolate?" - Renzo to me (eating chocolate) at 11:25 AM.
"Americans..." - Renzo, dismissively introducing us to his guests. We were a little shocked; good thing it seemed funny at the time.
Laura: "Awesome!"
Somebody at the BBQ: "Oh; you're American, aren't you?"
(In Europe they say "Super!" not "Awesome!". "Awesome" is a dead giveaway...note to self.)
Accomplishments:
Finished the puzzle!
Had the first BBQ of the Spring/Summer 2010 BBQ season.
Got talked into staying in Luzern another day.
Travel Tip:
Get contact information! Travelers know other travelers and can give you helpful tips or information for further down the road, and then you also have a network of travelers around the world. This is a good thing.
So....looks like we're here another day!

Renzo - CS #9 | Ballenberg
After cleaning up our dishes, vacuuming, making the bed, taking out the trash, packing, and eating breakfast we left Simon's house nice and clean.
We went to Ballenberg today which is about half an hour away from Interlaken. I read about this thing called the Swiss Open Air Museum months ago when I was researching things to do in Switzerland and have been looking forward to this for quite some time. Actually, today was opening day for the museum for the 2010 season, and we altered our trip just slightly to make sure we would still be around the area to go to the museum today! Plus it was cloudy - so we didn't feel badly about not being in the mountains.
The museum was pretty much like what I expected. The museum is set up as a little walkable version of Switzerland that lets you explore the country's rural areas. The kinds of buildings, houses, animals, and trades that we saw were specific to the "region" of Switzerland that we were in. There were a lot of old farm houses, barns, and grain store houses, but we also got to see an herb garden, an apothecary shop, a cheese making shop, a bakery, and a pottery building. All of the buildings had signs explaining how they were made, what time period they were from, who used them, and how they were used. There were people doing the trades/crafts/activities at many of the different buildings, so we got to see fresh cheese being made, basket weaving, chemicals being mixed at the "drogerie" (pharmacy), people making metal swords, pottery bowls being spun, etc. The coolest activity going on was the chocolate making...yum! Laura and I each got some fresh made chocolate and sat on a bench eating our Swiss chocolates looking at the Swiss Alps. Later we used Laura's Swiss army knife to cut some Swiss cheese (not American "Swiss cheese", but cheese made in Switzerland) and ate lunch (also gazing up at the Swiss Alps). It was a very Swiss day...
People pretty much exclusively spoke German at the museum. Not all of the signs were in English, and the demonstrations were either people working away silently or explaining things in German. So that was a bit of a let down but we still got to see a lot of neat things. We also got to see a lot of fun animals including horses, cows, oxen, donkeys, pigs, chickens, goats, and tons of bunny rabbits!
After a full morning and afternoon of wandering, we began the commute to Luzern. Meeting up with our CS host Renzo was simple (we really are getting better at this), and soon he was making dinner for us at his humongous apartment. Seriously people in Europe live in way bigger/nicer apartments than people in the U District! One of the first things that Renzo told us was essentially that he didn't like Americans and was planning on never hosting them again. He also said that we were his last American CouchSurfers, and he only took us in because he liked our profiles. He said one of the main things he looked at was where we have already traveled, and was impressed that we had been to South Africa and Panama, and also that we were planning on going to central Europe and Scandinavia. So yay for being travel-holics. It was my goal by the end of our stay to make sure Renzo liked at least two Americans. Not that I did anything differently, I always want to get to know my hosts and leave them with a good impression, but it was, admittedly, a bit strange feeling like we automatically had negative points just for being from the US. I think it is valuable to know what that feels like though so that I can learn from it and try not to hold stereotypes and prejudices against others.
After dinner (which included a delicious salad - I love fresh vegetables!) Roman had to go to Russian class. He is planning this crazy awesome trip through Scandinavia to get to Russia where he'll be for a few months. Eventually he'll land in New Zealand to work as a computer programmer.
I just think it is so funny what all of the CouchSurfers do during the "normal life". It makes me feel like we all have a secret life revolving around CouchSurfing. We've stayed with an engineer, an investment banker, a sports journalist, a study abroad trip coordinator, a ship industry person, an artist, a student, a tourist excursion business owner, and now a computer programmer. Isn't that crazy?! Traveling and being willing to open your home and your mind to foreigners is such an amazing bond that pulls people in from all over the place. If you put the group of us in a room, I think an outsider would be extremely confused how we all knew each other and/or got along. It really blows my mind. I don't think you would look at these people at their jobs and be like, "yeah, you're totally into letting strangers sleep in your living room, aren't you?" Haha I just think it's very amusing and awesome. Love it.
While Renzo was at Russian class, Laura and I worked on his partially completed 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. Apparently other CSers had also tried to complete it but hadn't really gotten close. Laura and I both like puzzles so we were quite content sitting on the floor trying to put together the tiny pieces. Then we washed the dishes and went to go meet Renzo after his class. From there we went to his favorite bar, an Irish pub called Gracie Kelley's (which I think is a cute name for a pub). Because our timing is awesome, there was live Irish music going on that was a lot of fun! I love Irish music. We each got a ridiculously expensive beer (9 CHF!) that wasn't that good - but in reality, beer in general is probably ruined for me after being in Belgium :( One of Renzo's rugby friends joined up with us named Dave, who wasted very little time in beginning to hit on me. I don't handle those situations very well. I am really awkward so I just tried to avoid him and scooted closer to Laura. Besides that, I figured he must have been a little crazy since I hadn't showered in a few days and felt quite unattractive. Anyway, soon we were out of the bar and the boys were teaching Laura and I how to throw a rugby ball in the middle of the street. We probably tossed the thing around for about half an hour - it was very spontaneous and a lot of fun. Though it should be noted for the record that I am positively terrible and throwing a rugby ball. Dave was overly helpful in trying to teach me, which didn't help matters since I was so bad at it.
Renzo, Laura and I got back to Renzo's flat, where I was excited to show him our progress on the puzzle. He took a quick look at it and announced that he wasn't impressed, and couldn't even really tell what we'd done. Fail. We spent hours on that thing!
The way timing worked out, tomorrow is our only full day in Luzern so we got some sleep with good intentions of getting up early...
