FollowIt’s gloomy today and it looked like rain when Val headed off to work this morning. I’m off to Interlaken where I can buy Val’s favourite wine at the big Co-op.
When I arrived the station was eerily quiet. Interlaken Ost is normally really busy, but not today.
It’s the same in the Co-op. Tills are closed, aisles are deserted.
The reason of course, is the Chinese travel ban. They normally do their European tours in big groups, so they overwhelm the more popular attractions. Not any more.
Wengen is thankfully unaffected by this. It’s full to bursting with kids from all over Europe.
Val has a group of Dutch kids this week, and the Swiss and British are here in substantial numbers too.
