It was raining this morning, but we wanted to get out to escape the racket that the builders were making. The scaffolding people are coming to remove it all tomorrow, so if the roof isn’t finished by close of play today there’ll be problems. We headed down to Lauterbrunnen, and called in at the Gemeinde (local council) where we had some paperwork to deal with. We had a stroll along the valley. The overcast sky makes the waterfall look quite dramatic.

We had lunch at home while the builders had their break, and wandered up to the village. The sun came out, and it was suddenly quite warm. A train was standing at the station so we hopped aboard and headed up to Allmend above the village. By now it was warm enough to sit outside.

Great views of Wengen (if you ignore all the construction) from the restaurant. (Remember you can click the pics to make them full screen).

We decided to walk back down. It’s mushroom season, and fungi of all descriptions grows in abundance under the trees.

Eventually we got home, and look at this; the builders have finished the roof!

Tomorrow’s going to be even noisier than today, as the scaffolding people will be aiming to remove all the metalwork as fast as possible. We need to get out early again.
