I woke up to yet another bad Aussie impression. Admittedly, this person was on Contiki, so it's no surprise, but I swear I've gotten enough of Aussies for the rest of my days. I could go on for considerable lengths of time about how the Aussies I've met more closely fit the mold of ignorant American than many Americans, or at least the ones I consider to be worthwhile.
Anyway. Despite feeling increasingly like I had a cold, I managed to drag my sorry ass to Trummelbach Falls without even too much complaint. As if to spite my headache, fever, chills, and ever-more-raw throat, I traipsed semi-gamely through cave after cave and staircase after staircase in this massive waterfall that single-handedly drains the runoff from 3 massive glaciers. Over 20,000 liters of water gush out PER SECOND. The thing is deafening, chilly, wet, and almost entirely viewed from within the caves that house it. I spent the rest of the day lying down and trying not to be sick, unsuccessfully, as it turns out.
