FollowUnlike Wengen, Grindelwald is accessible by road. Despite this there’s still no ambulance service, so if you are unfortunate enough to be taken ill a helicopter will come and whisk you off to hospital. The helipad is a few metres from our kitchen window, and yesterday evening the peace was shattered by the machine’s arrival.
My hiking shoes were giving me trouble yesterday, so this morning we ventured into the village to find some new ones. Grindelwald is a big village with many sports shops, so I had no trouble finding what I wanted. Afterwards we caught the bus up to Hotel Wetterhorn where we had lunch yesterday. The path from here undulates its way back towards the village.
It’s a warm day, so a stop at a bench is always welcome.
Tonight we’re off to Interlaken to meet Dave and Lesley who are staying in Wengen at the moment. It should be a good dinner.
