    Day 14: Going on a treasure hunt 💎

    April 24, 2024 in Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    I'm alive! It's been a hot minute since I did an upload. It's 30th April and I'm currently uploading this from a hostel in Salzburg, Austria lol (better late than never!)

    So I bumped into a British guy at my hostel who actually lives in Interlaken. We got talking and he said that he goes gold panning in a little village called Brenzikofen. And if I was interested he'd send me the directions (as there was little to no signal out there).

    After a train ride and 30 minute hike into the woods, I arrived at a random shed full of gold panning equipment (complete with a Shrek-style shed opposite) 🤣🤣

    I spent an hour (attempting) to gold pan. Sadly, no golden nuggets were found but I hand a great time swirling dirt around 😂
