Mountain Expedition

Yesterday we travelled through and up the Swiss Alps on foot. Yes, on foot! We thought we'd head out on a hike to see a glacier. Our first destination was a glacier canyon. We walked about 900 stairs up the mountain side to view it. Then about 900 steps down...then we decided to do a mountain hike. We ended up 3 hours higher at 2338 m :) It was a crazy "path" up the mountains with many, many very steep areas. Our muscles are screaming in pain today! The view of the glacier at the top was incredible. We also witnessed an emergency rescue of some mountain climbers by the Swiss Paramedics via a helicopter. It was quite an interesting experience. We are in Amsterdam now. What an interesting place ;). We head to Groningen tomorrow afternoon.
