Working and Living in Lauterbrunnen for 6 Months

After finishing my tourism study I found a job as a representative for Contiki Holidays in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. I had never heared about it and bougth some books to get some information but there wasnt much in them. So when I arrived there I had the feeling I had arrived in paradise. I stayed there from april untill the end of october. It was situated in a beautiful valley with the beautiful white tops of the Jungfrau, Monch and Eiger. There was a big waterfall and a wild water river. The nature was astonishing and the houses were all typical. I didnt have a digital camera back then so i posted some pics of the internet of things i saw there.
