GUEST POST: La Tache, from "Smiling is Good for Your Teeth"

Good Morning to all of the Lacey in The City Blog Followers!
My name is La Tache and you can find me over at Smiling is Good for Your Teeth
Lacey and I went to college together.
As time went on, we learned that we actually have a lot in common.
I remember riding in her cute little VW Bug around San Francisco and Los Angeles – getting the star house tour of Beverly Hills.
Lacey is a beautiful woman, inside and out.
She is kind, genuine, sweet, caring, friendly – pretty much she is the whole package!
I started following her blog when I first started blogging and since she has moved away this is a great way for me to keep in touch with this busy lady!
That being said, I think that we should all shower the lovely Lacey with lots of love and good vibes to get better ASAP!

So, I thought that I would tell you all about the most beautiful place on Earth… the Lauterbrunnen Valley in Switzerland.

I recently got married and my husband and I went to Switzerland for our honeymoon. Our favorite part of the whole trip was the Lauterbrunnen Valley. We took a train and then a bus up to TummelbackFalle. It is the largest waterfall with run off from the three major Mountains: the Eiger, the Monch & and the Jungfrau. We took the tour of the water fall. It was amazing and loud! There are times where 20,000 liters of water rush through this fall per second! Yes, 20,000 per second!




After our trip to through the falls, we took a lift up to Murren, this is where we stayed for two days. This little town is tucked away and can only be accessed by lift, bike or foot. There are no cars allowed.

Our hotel - how charming is that?!
We made it to our hotel, put our stuff down and made friends with the very friendly staff. Our first day there, we decided to take the lift up to the Schilthorn. The Schilthorn is, basically, the top of the Swiss Alps. The beginning scene of the James Bond Movie: Her Majesty's Secret Service, was filmed here, so the gift shop is pretty much a shrine to James Bond! There is a rotating restaurant at the top. It was beautiful! You get a panoramic view of the Swiss Alps! It was freezing and amazing all at the same time!


At the Schilthorn
We treated ourselves to fondue and ate ourselves silly. If you are ever in Switzerland, at all, you must eat as much fondue as you possibly can! It is amazing! Definitely worth the calories as well as the hit to your colon {seriously...}!

The next day we decided to rent mountain bikes and ride our bikes from Murren to Interlaken. It was the most gorgeous day and a must needed break from all of the walking.

The man who ran this bike shop was in the Rick Steves tour guide shows!


Look at that blue sky!



I'm a weakling, so we ended up taking the train back up to Murren, instead of riding back - that would have been really hard, even for people who are in amazing shape!

That night we ate dinner at the restaurant in our hotel. The food was to.die.for! And we also got a show! 


This is an alphorn and an acordian, we got to see a concert after dinner!

The Lauterbrunnen Valley is breathtaking. 
The scenery is unbelievable, the culture is kind, warm and welcoming, and the experience was once in a lifetime.

I hope you all go to kayak.com and buy your plane tickets right away! 
We went mid June and the weather is perfect!

I hope you all have a great day and remember: Smiling is Good for Your Teeth!
