Interlaken, Bern, Switzerland Friday, August 24, 2012 We arrived in Interlaken early enough yesterday to do todays planned castle adventure, so we are free to explore. The weather is quite cloudy and it rained most of last night. We decide to take a train to Riggennbach, a small town we had noticed from the train […]

Interlaken, Bern, Switzerland Thursday, August 23, 2012 Our stay in Gimmelwald is over. We hop on the cable car down to Stechelberg and catch a bus from there to the Lauterbrunnen train station. At the station we get on a train to Interlaken. They have things timed pretty well. It is about 5 minutes for […]

Gimmelwald, Bern, Switzerland Wednesday, August 22, 2012 No where to go, no where to run. I still get out of bed around 0800 but Carol lies around until after 0930. I am still catching up on my writing but getting close. We shower and get ready for a little trip. We catch the 1100 cable […]

Lauterbrunnen, Bern, Switzerland Tuesday, August 21, 2012 As we are in no rush today, we sleep in a little and go down to breakfast without pre-packing.

Lauterbrunnen, Bern, Switzerland Monday, August 20, 2012 Our goal today is to hike to Wengen and then take the train down to Lauterbrunnen.

Engelberg, Switzerland, Friday, August 17, 2012 We left St. George one month ago. We feel like we have been here longer than that which is a good thing. We are savoring and enjoying each day and feel blessed to be able to see the places we have been and meet the great people we have […]

Attinghausen, Switzerland Thursday, August 16, 2012 It rained hard all last night and is still raining when we get up. We have a nice breakfast of cheese, meats, and hard boiled eggs. They have a nice spread of about 7 different cheeses that you can slice off the wedge yourself. Yes, there is Swiss cheese, […]
