Interlaken - Part 1: Sea Kayaking

We had a long weekend (one of many to be honest!) first weekend in June and decided to go to one of Switzerland's most famous sport and nature areas: Interlaken. Interlaken is located in the well-known Bernese-Oberland canton, right in-between Lake Brienz and Lake Thun. You can kind of guess where it got its name from...!
It is famous for visiting the Jungfrau, the highest "visitable" Alp top in Europe, and amazing hiking trails, mountainbiking trails, paragliders in the hundreds (daily!) and all other activities and sports you can think of!

Our "Tent Village" we rented a tent at. Jacuzzi was nice, as well as the main part's beer garden, all the things for free (badminton, table tennis etc). However, light coloured tents let in the sun when it rises. I.e. only for early birds!
Ready to hit the day!



We decided to spend the first afternoon after arriving after lunch in one of the lakes with a rented sea kayak. The lakes have this gorgeous green-blue colour and are surrounded by beautiful backdrop of the Alps with paragliders continuously popping down.
