I'm moving....sorry guys
I've decided I'm moving to Switzerland. I might be broke and become homeless here but the views and the beauty! Sorry guys. I want to take a pic of the ridiculous cable car we took up the mountain (after driving up mountains) before I post anything else. For now....sneak peek from our airbnb partially up the mountain from the world's tallest cable car.....

World's steepest cable car and conquering fears
After leaving our meh airbnb in Naples at 630am we took a taxi with Monica's cre to the Naples airport for our 930 flight to Switzerland. Already I could tell a difference on THIS plane because they gave us a swiss water bottle before we even left the airport lot and during our flight a bar of swiss chocolate, which was possibly the BEST plain chocolate I've ever had! After an uneventful 2 hour flight, we picked up my crew's rental car and the 7 of us searched for an ATM before leaving the airport. After going up and down 3 floors, we found the ATM and our lunch (at a place called COOP). We got a hot dog in a pretzel bun that fit through a little hole on one end. It was delicious and not fake tasting either.
We got in our car rental and after MUCH struggle trying to get navigation we headed for our airbnb. The car navigation was being a butt, Jeremy's phone kept warning when we plugged in the cable, and MY phone is out of high speed data but had great charge. So, it took us a while to get things going. The drive to the airbnb in Murren was the prettiest drive we've ever taken!! There were SO many tunnels on our drive. They don't believe in driving around every mountain like in the US...they go thru it via tunnel. The mountains are SO tall. It's like driving right next to Table Rock or higher the whole trip, with trees everywhere, and beautiful very clear green streams. It definitely seemed like a fairy tale place....something you would see in the movies only. The streams are this crazy opaque light green. It looks almost white. After taking 1,000 or so pictures and driving a wonderful 2 hours, we arrived at the parking lot at the bottom of our mountain. I was told we would park and ride the cable car. Cable cars are cool...I've ridden one in Gatlingburg and enjoyed it.
This however is a whole new level. We rode the world's steepest cable car (no joke. Look it up) The pics won't do it justice cause it looks like a straight up from the ground... more feet up than I've ever seen a mountain. It began raining on the walk to the airbnb. We settled in then walked 12 min to the supermarket on the mtn. and got food for the next few days as restaurants are crazy expensive! Kevin cooked our bratwurst and we had fries and mixed veggies for dinner.
