We had a breakfast buffet that changed our lives. I had as much enjoyment from watching Aaron experience dis first European breakfast buffet as I did from eating. The cheeses were a little strong for my taste, but the bread and jams and granolas were my fave.
We took a train to Colmar, stuffed our luggage in a public locker that I found a few mibutes away. Colmar is a dream! A couple years ago, I sat at the counter doing a puzzle of this place with Soren and Reese while we listened to the Boys in the Boat in audible. And now I am here, in this real place!
It’s my puzzle in real life! Just dreamy.
We sampled all the biscuits, chocolate, and gingerbread and some stinky cheese.
We added a love lock to the bridge
The lemon biscuits were to die for. The yellow jackets loved them too.
Chocolate museum
Aaron stopped to take 15 photos of everything. 😍
Home of Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty
A medieval villa
And a record shop I was so sad to see was not open! Always on the hunt for Tourist History by Two Door Cinema Club on vinyl. It’s out of print(pressing?) but maybe I’ll find it in Europe 😂
We ended our day in Colmar and took the train to Interlaken Ost via Basel. We bought Swiss travel passes so most of our transit in Switzerland is covered.

Our first stay is in Wilderswil. It’s so beautiful here. I am such a sucker for hydrangeas.
There are public water fountains everywhere.
Our chateau is more like a lodge with antiques. It’s small but charming and our mountain view is breathtaking. We slept with the windows wide open all night and the cold summer air with zero bugs was just incredible.
We ate the best dessert ever with a carbonara pizza at the only place still open when we got in. No regrets. The dessert was so good we ordered another at our server’s suggestion. Vladimir, a Bulgarian who was happy to practice his English with us, made us a chocolate Toblerone mousse. “No! Not like candy bar! So much better!”

He was correct. It was unreal.
This layered mousse cake though…I already want to go back for another.
