YIKES! THERE WILL BE NO BLOG TOMORROW

THE CONNECTIN AT THE HOTEL WE ARE STAYING IN WILL BE OUT FOR REPAIRS

We did a bus excursion today out to a place called Interlarken, It is a town built between two lakes that were created by glacial activity. Or so the guide told us. Debris was laid down by the melting waters of a receding glacier. It took us about two hours to get there and I am so pleased that neither of us is driving. The alpine road passed through several small villages, all looking very pretty and hardly a blade of grass out of place. It was nice to see lots of green open spaces. It is hard to describe the beauty and grandeur of the mountain scenery, I am sure you will see what I mean by the pictures. 

At Interlarken half of our group elected to stay in town and shop while the rest of us went on just a bit further to go up the funicular railway to almost very the top. We found a shady seat to have our lunch and admire the spectacular views. It was a hot day, temperatures reaching 22 and we could actually feel the sun, just like at home. So we have topped up our stores of vitamin D. And I think both of us will be looking a bit sun kissed in the morning. An hour or so at the top and then we returned down and climbed aboard the bus . After collecting the shoppers the bus took us to Grindewald, a small town almost at et the of The Fabulous Eiger. 

This is a famous mountain and the north slope is supposed to be one of the most difficult to climb. It didn't inspire either The Man or me to give it a go.

While we watched there were several ice falls, skimming down the steep slopes like waterfalls.

Then it was time to hop back in the bus and make the return run via the other side of the lake back to Château D'oex.
