FollowA long time ago, in a country far, far away, three kings arrived in Bethlehem. This event is celebrated in parts of Europe with ‘Dreikönigstag’ or Three Kings Day. Here in Switzerland a special bread is baked.
In times gone by the ingredients for this bread – butter, eggs & wheat flour were luxury commodities, so the bread was only baked on special days. One of the buns will contain a surprise, perhaps a miniature figure of a king. If you get the bun containing the surprise, you can be king for the day.
It looks like the ticket lady on our train found the surprise!
There’s been a big storm here today, so everything was closed up at Scheidegg. It was a good excuse to pop down to Interlaken for shopping.
