Castles and queues

We spent most of yesterday in Interlaken, with another session to help me decide how to proceed with my eye treatment. Val got a nice shot of Interlaken castle. These days it’s used as council offices.

Big queues at the pharmacy. Everyone wants to go out on Saturday night, and to get into a bar you need a negative Corona test. Vaccine take-up hasn’t been great here, particularly amongst the young.

Emily’s sister Vicky is here for a few days. Val picked her up from the station, and she came round for dinner.

Emily was playing football at the nearby town of Steffisburg. The final score – Steffisburg 1, Interlaken 5, meant Emily was in very good spirits when she met us later in Rocks.

Poor weather was forecast for today, and sure enough it’s pouring with rain and very cold. Up at Scheidegg and Männlichen it’s snowing hard. The first signs of winter.
