FollowVal was up early for a doctors appointment this morning, and once she’d finished I met her in the village and we headed over to Grindelwald. We haven’t been here for ages, and we were looking forward to some shopping. Grindelwald is a nice looking village on a sunny day.
We bought lunch from the bakery, and enjoyed it on a bench with a lovely view of the Eiger. Afterwards we trawled the sports shops hoping to find some new gear for spring, but sadly (or perhaps happily), we failed to find anything that convinced us to part with our money. We did get some nice food though, as Grindelwald’s Co-op is much bigger than the one in Wengen.
Easter is over and it will be quiet everywhere for the next couple of months. In Wengen, all the hotels will close now, along with some of the bars and almost all the restaurants. It’s a nice time of year – everyone has time to stop for a chat and a coffee.
