Switzerland trip, day 8

For some crazy reason, we all decided to go back up Jungfrau today. It was another absolutely perfect day, and some of the rest of our group wanted to go up and do some hiking, so we figured, why not? We split up into 4 groups--Group #1 (Lauren, Chris, and John) rented bikes; Group #2 (Dad, David, Jason, James) did a long downhill hike--I really don't know how Jason and James could do that; Group #3 (Mom, Joyce, Sue, Claire, and myself) did an easy hike to a wonderful meadow where we ate Snickers bars and enjoyed the day while Claire picked flowers--we later learned that picking wildflowers is illegal in Switzerland--oops; and Group #4 (Chuck and Grandma) found a restaurant and did a lot of people watching. This was our last day in Interlaken, and we finished it off with a relaxing dinner back at the pizza place we found on our first night there. The rest of our group stayed out late, but we were exhausted and headed back to our room for an early night.
