After an easy journey to Kings Cross from the island we stay at the Royal Scot for Friday night
Our room was not too bad but James had a really noisy one. Up at 6am and we walk to St Pancras for the 07 52 Eurostar to Paris. We cross the newly restored frontage of Kings Cross Station: much better now the old booking hall has been demolished.
Arrive at Gare De Nord on time and get across Paris in record time to Gare de Lyon where we have time for a bite to eat and a hot drink before joining our TGV Lyria to Basel. This is a train capable of 320kph or 200 mph but we did not hit the magic number.
At Basel we do a cross platform change to an inter city Swiss train to Interlaken Ost. Not so fast or comfy but still swift and on time. Swiss trains run on time because they have recovery time at every station! Arrive into Interlaken on time where we transfer onto our final train: a narrow gauge rack railway up into the mountains and our final destination of Grindelwald .

Check into the Hotel Residence to find we are the only guests and they had been waiting all afternoon for us to arrive. Book our breakfast and head of to find a restaurant for dinner. The first one we find is a nice Italian where we have a good fill up before an early night after a long long day!
