Last night we met Dave and Lesley, and caught the bus up the hill to restaurant Leugibrüggli. It’s Dave’s birthday, so we splashed out on lovely steaks and a couple of bottles of wine. The views down to the lake are breathtaking.

Views back to Interlaken after dark.

This morning we caught the little cable car up to Pfingstegg again. This time we’re walking towards the lower glacier. Great views of Grindelwald from the top.

The path is steep and narrow in places.

Eventually we arrived at the gorge formed by the glacier. There’s no ice down here anymore, but the meltwater from the glacier high above forms a river about 100 metres below us.

There’s an old marble quarry at a place called Marmorbruch. Marble from here was transported to Bern for the construction of the parliament buildings.

There’s also a restaurant at Marmorbruch. We stopped for lunch before our walk took us back to the valley floor and home.

Our host Wil has a pizza oven on the terrace of our chalet, so tonight we’re looking forward to home made pizzas.
