Interlaken (Part II)

Went downtown to Zurichsee yesterday to one of the flea markets, since the one on Sunday near the pier was brilliant, holding high hopes for the one of Thursday near the river. Utterly disappointed, it just seemed that we've travelled back to Lala Land. There's only a handful of shops set up in the back alley, which we spend an hour looking.
On the other note, finally killed some lazy bugs and managed to edit more pictures. Moo's having a long weekend, initial plan was to head down to Geneva, and so I called up the Research Center which we were dying to visit to confirm certain facts.

Reception : Good afternoon, this is the XXX research center, how may I help you?

Me : Good afternoon, I'm calling in regards to enquiry on booking for a free tour. According to one of the travel guides I've obtained, it mentioned that I've to book a month in advance, is that true?

Receptionist: *trying hard not to laugh* No that's not true.

Me : *Relieved*

Receptionist: You have to book eight to nine months in advance.

Me : *Missing a heart beat* (o_O")

Receptionist: Unfortunately we are fully booked till June 2008.

Me : *Gulp* ok, thank you so much.

There goes our plan to Gevena, after much debate last night, decided to head back to Interlaken for the weekend since we din't manage to go to most of the tourist attractions the last time round.
