Going nowhere

If you need firewood here, there are a couple of guys in the village who will deliver logs to your house for a small charge. If you need really big logs however, it’s going to cost a bit more.

This afternoon we hopped on the train to go to Interlaken. It’s true to say that we take the rail service completely for granted, ignoring the notices that warn of any disruption. We just assume that as long as the train turns up, we’ll get to wherever we want to go. Not today. We boarded the Interlaken service at Lauterbrunnen as usual, and didn’t give it a second thought when the train stopped for rather longer than usual at Wilderswil. It turned out that the train terminated there owing to the construction of the new station at the airfield. By the time we realised what was going on, the replacement bus service was long gone. Ah well, back to Wengen it is then.
