In and around Grindelwald

As we were the only guests at our hotel we had to choose what time we wanted it! On arrival at the appointed hour we were amazed at the spread laid on for the three of us: great start to the day:

Then off to explore the town/village of Grindelwald: some seemed interested in the chocolate shops:

Then we took the Grindelwald Bus from the bus station

to the Gletscherschlucht Gorge

It was a narrow winding road and we were delayed by sheep on the line! New excuse for Wightlink?

We enjoyed the hours wait for the next bus back to Grindelwald walking up the George.

The path was on suspended walkways and

through tunnels where even Jack had to watch her head!

The bus arrived bang on time: presumably no sheep this time!

Back to Grindelwald to buy some provision to make our roll and cakes for lunch and then off to the Grindelwald First cable car for an afternoon in the mountains.

The ride gave us some wonderful views of the Eiger

and the surrounding mountains

At the top was a new walkway with a glass bottomed viewing platform!

Half way there was a kids play park - Emma take note!

We spent all afternoon on the mountain and came down in time for a proper Swiss Dinner

Then a walk in the lovely evening light

down to the river in the valley below the town.

A last look at the glacier in the mountains before crashing out back at the hotel: tired but happy!
