Camera Blues

I asked Pete from the Netherlands to help me take a picture of me against the Swiss Alps after I got to the top of Kulma Hard in Interlaken, and he drops my camera, which dislocates the lense of my camera. After losing all my pictures the day before, I didn't think that anything worse could happen, but I guess it did. At the moment I didn't know whether I should cry or laugh or what other options I had. I thought about having him pay me something, but that really would not do much good since I just want to take pictures. So after alot of thought and talking with Hank and Pete, they brought me around to try to find a camera shop, it was closed of course. So I just had them give me a ride from my hostel to the train station and got Pete's info so that what happens with the camera happens. It works a little right now since I forced the lense back in place, but once I zoom all the way out, it can't focus correctly and I must restart it. Whatever the reasons, I'm still enjoying my wandering around, though maybe some good turns would be nice about right now :P
