#bolugoestoswiss: Boltigen

Mkay. Last month when I went to Switzerland for Rob's birthday, I was able to explore a little bit more of the land of Cheese. I got to hit 3 more new places! Today I'm going to share you one.

For his birthday, Rob rented a chalet by the Swiss Alps, in a small little quiet town name Boltigen. The area was nice, green, peaceful and so pretty. The cows were seriously close to us. 
Peaceful, right?

Well, not so peaceful on Rob's birthday eve. We were drunk. SUPER drunk. And LOUD. First, let me show you the Chalet that we rented.
Cute right? Now, we got there late Friday night. The area was pitch dark, so Rob and I had a problem looking for the chalet. As I waited in the car, Rob was searching and actually knocked on the door of the neighbor. Once he found it, he approached me with a weird face, "Uh, we are about to get cozy. All 11 of us!" I was like, "why?" "Oh you will see!"
Now you see the chalet above, right? You see that the left half and right half have different windows/curtains. We both found out that we aren't staying in a "whole" chalet. We were staying in a half chalet. The left was our place. And the right is our neighbor. Meaning: WE SHARED A WALL. Meaning: THEY WERE FUCKIN PISSED AT US FOR OUR LOUDNESS for the whole weekend. And we all didn't know realized until the next morning. One of Rob's coworker/friend said Hello to the neighbor in the morning and she gave him the nastiest stink eye. Oops.

Our shenanigans:
See this fire stove thingy?
This chalet was built in the 1600-1700s. Meaning, no central heater. So drunk Rima spent 2 hours trying to build fire. All I did was made ashes because the woods were damp -_- So yes, 2 cold nights indeed.
 Lots of screaming
 Oh yes. Lots of more screaming and drunk screaming and table banging. Thanks to a whole bottle of Absolute Vodka, Patron and unlimited bottle of wines. Crazy.

Neighbors were piiiiisssseeeeddd...

It was not a silent night!

The half chalet was actually pretty small. I'm surprised all 11 of us were able to get cozy. Whoever owns this chalet really maximized its spaces to the tee. Mind you, only 1 bathroom, which includes a mini room for the toilet, a shower and a tub, with a curtain dividing it from the kitchen (yep) and a door to the dining room.

Hallway entrance to the chalet, leading to the kitchen
The kitchen. The stairs leads to upstairs. Behind Laurence is the curtains to the bathroom. To the left of the kitchen was my room, pictured below.
This was the biggest room in the chalet. The door on the left there leads to the dining room.
 The dining room was right NEXT to the wall that we share with the right half of the chalet. And yes, this is the table that we banged on all night. Door on the left leads to the bathroom.
Fun fact: The tub doesn't work. And all 11 of us wanted to use it together as a hot tub. Not pictured is the shower.
 This door is so ancient. It was hard to open.
Rooms on the second story.
 
 
 

To the people of Boltigen: Sorry for disrupting your quiet night.
Yet, we had so much fun #sorrynotsorry

xoxo,
Rima
