Jerrie's Travels

Markus and I headed to Mount Appenzell which is a mountain.. So we drive for about 40 minutes across the land and let me tell you.. they do not believe in straight roads here. literally at one point we were doing squiggles all down the road. Not to mention that they are really small and Markus goes like 100mph. So we are driving up the towards the mountain and i cant start to make out these tiny little strings going from the top of the mountain to the ground. I am immediately like. "RIGHT ON!" .. and then we get a little bit closer and i am like... uhhh... do i really want to trust my life with those measly cable cords?!

So when we finally reach the destination there is a HUUUUUUGE line up for the cable car... for sure at least a 2 hour wait... so i begin to start taking photos and then we go to eat at the little restaurant place they have set up with picnic tables and umbrellas. I had French fries and some bratwurst.. i was stuffed.. Markus had to eat most of it.

Then we walked around and i took more photos...

then we were about to leave and we got in the car and noticed that the line was significantly smaller... so we parked and hopped in line.

about 20 minutes later we make it.. and we are the next ones to go up. I crawl in... there is a max of 85 people per car..  I forsure had the shittiest spot. smack dab in the middle with a bunch of tall people surrounding me.. so i didnt really get to see the view on the way up.. but it was very intense.. it felt like a mild roller coaster.. at one point the cords were pulling us straight up. Then we reached the top. it was much colder.. and we walked around and i took ALOT of photos.. the view was breahtaking. it is cool because every mountain has a name... i was higher then the clouds!! Not only that but you can see 6 different countries from the view.. i am not too sure which side was which country ( i have lost my sense of direction here ) but i thought that that was pretty cool. They have all these trails and paths for you to walk on. And people just take off and literally go climb the mountains. Alot of people bring there dogs up. They had a few old Cafe's on top made of old swiss homes or something. It was really cute. So markus and i sat down and he ordered coffee. we sat with this other group of people.. and they were eating swiss cheese and bread and meat.. It was such a typical swiss thing.

Ok. Now before i came here i always loved Waterton ( and i still do! ) but i loved it because of there mountains... well.. the mountains in Waterton are like Hills compared to here. It was so breathtaking.  you could watch them all day.

They have these birds at the top of the mountain.. and i am not to sure if you have heard of this.. but there is like air pockets or something like a force in the air for birds... anyways... there was one at the top and these birds would push so hard to break through it but they couldn't so it literally looked like 20 birds were  just motionless in the air at the top of the mountain. that was pretty cool.

Then as Markus and i were heading back to the cable car... the line up was HUUUGE it took about an hour to get back down. But it was later in the day by now so it was really cloudy... so i went through a cloud in slow motion! going down was a lot more fun. i was at the front and it felt like it was dropping us everytime we passed one of the connecting stations. that was fun.

Then as we headed home i was kinda falling asleep.. but... uncle kenny this is for you... we passed a restaurant and it was called " The Chinese Shanghai" 

i almost shit my pants.

i couldn't take a photo cause my battery died... but i loved that..  So one day we will have to come back here and test it out...

I am so glad to hear that the ACT 3 show went well. I am so proud of you girls!

i think that is it for now...

i will post as many pictures as i can on here

... i am also addicted to swiss chocolate.. you can buy it at migros for 40 cents. 

i am coming home a fat ass.

LOVE YOU MOM&DAD
