| Muerren, Switzerland |
Our day starts
with a stop at a market. I like to make sure we have plenty of picnic
fixings for sandwiches and snacks. We set our GPS for Lugano.
After
much discussion, and convincing, we decide to cut the day short and head
up to Muerren in the Berner Oberland. As we are trying to make our way
through Interlaken (we got lost), we happen upon McD’s and get two cups
of coffee, once again. We finally make our way to the Stechelberg
lift station, pack our light suitcases, and head up to Muerren. We are
surrounded by mountain peaks full of snow. Remember all that rain in
France, well, now we are seeing the results of that storm in
Switzerland. The lift drops us off at one end of town and we’re headed
to the other end of this car-free village to find a room at Hotel
Alpina. They have one room left with a balcony, and what a view it is.

| View of Jungfrau from Balcony |
There’s the Jungfrau right in front of us. Once we settle in, we
attempt to walk down to Gimmelwald. However, it’s getting dark and cold
and we’re not sure if we are headed in the right direction. I think
we’ll stop there on our way down tomorrow. In the lobby, we’re able to
use the internet and get caught up with the kids. The fog is settling
in outside, however, that doesn’t stop me from walking the hills of the
town. It’s so peaceful. The sound of cowbells and the crisp night air
is wonderful. What a great ending to a day in the Swiss Alps.
