Thursday night is pizza night at the Caprice. The pizzas are the same price as usual, but you get your first drink free. Most importantly though, the pizzas are the best I’ve ever tasted.
Today was dull and wet, so apart from some shopping in Interlaken there’s little to report.
Yesterday was Ali’s birthday, so we set off down to Matten for dinner at the Three Tells. Mask obligatory on the train.
We had a splendid dinner of fish & chips, and headed back to Wengen. Cocktails in the Tanne bar later.
This afternoon we had a walk out to Innerwengen. There’s a new ice cream kiosk by the chairlift.
Pizza night at the Caprice later.
Lots happening today. Glaziers arrived this morning to fix the cracked window in the granny flat downstairs. Then it’s down to the valley for a run. Lauterbrunnen looking good.
Back up to Wengen for a quick shower, and we’re off to the Three Tells at Matten for 2 for 1 fish & chips as it’s Ali’s birthday.
We popped into the Caprice last night to say hello. Andy has brewed some more beer – very nice it is too. Here we are with Mimi.
The little black box that delivers our broadband has given up the ghost, so today we were off to Interlaken to get a replacement. There’s a ferris wheel on the Hohematt.
It was really hot in Interlaken. Too hot in fact – we had a big thunderstorm this evening.
It’s Monday, so I’m off for a run. The valley looks inviting.
An enjoyable run, despite the heat. On a day like this even Lauterbrunnen manages to look nice – here’s the view from my bench as I wait for the train.
Back in April we bought our summer passes, which give us use of all the trains, cable cars etc until the ski season begins next winter. However, owing to the Covid crisis, the Jungfraubahn have introduced a new offer – the Corona pass. This covers everything that our summer passes do, plus unlimited trips to the Jungfraujoch. Better still, the Corona pass is much cheaper, so we pop into the station and swap our summer passes, and get a substantial refund into the bargain. Excellent, that’s going to pay for a few beers. Sina’s pub looks good in the afternoon sunshine.
We were up early yesterday for our flight from Manchester to Zurich. We weren’t sure whether we’d get fed on the plane, so we tucked into a bacon and sausage roll while we waited for the gate to be called. We needn’t have worried, as we were served with a lovely cooked breakfast shortly after take off.
Just the three of us on the bus to the terminal at Zurich.
And just the two of us in our carriage on the train.
We went out for a few drinks when we arrived, and had a bite to eat in the Crystal with Emily. Ali popped round after she finished work, but after a 4.30am start it was never going to be a late night.
Wengen is looking lovelier than ever. We had a nice walk this afternoon.
