Went to the Sunstar last night to see Duo Centrale. Outside it was pouring with rain.
The downpour continued for most of the night, and today’s forecast isn’t good enough to plan anything too ambitious. We did manage to get a walk along the river in Interlaken before doing our shopping.
When we moved into this apartment in December it’s fair to say it was something of a ‘work in progress’. Indeed, the kitchen was still being fitted when we arrived. Since then we’ve been slowly improving things – slowly because it’s hard to get things delivered up here.
Anyhow, today we have a big improvement. Owing to an error with the original orders we’ve never had a door on our bedroom. As we only have one bedroom this isn’t exactly the end of the world, but it would be nice just the same. Today our door arrived.
Colin popped round and helped us to hang it. Here’s Val fitting the draught excluder.
Weather forecast very wet again today. We met Sandro, Beanie and the kids on the path back from Mettlenalp. Fun and games at Allmend.
And drinks back in the village. Larina loves the book about animals.
We were lucky with the weather – the rain held off until dinner time.
The weather forecast isn’t great today, but it was dry this morning so we set off for Mürren across the valley. Up at Allmendhübel above the village we had a sandwich for lunch and set off towards Grütschalp.
The path takes us up to Winteregg where we often ski in winter. Further on we reach Dorenalp which is about half way.
Some of the younger cows are quite curious.
At Grütschalp there is a new downhill biking track under the cable car. It looks absolutely terrifying but needless to say it’s popular with the local kids.
We bought ice creams while we waited for the cable car back to Lauterbrunnen. 2 minutes later the storm arrived.
Nice relaxed atmosphere in Rocks last night, with Akim providing the music. Lots of Pimms being consumed, as is the fashion during Wimbledon.
Today the weather is overcast but no less warm. Looks like the evening thunderstorms might be back later.
Very hot today, so no hiking. Popped down to Interlaken to get some shopping. It was even hotter down there.
That’s 95 degrees in old money. Anyhow it’s a good excuse to try out our latest home improvement.
The steak was half price in the Co-op too – result!
Another sunny day, and it’s getting a lot warmer. Time to go high. Up at Männlichen we get the usual amazing views towards the Eiger.
A huge wooden cow is under construction. I’ve no idea why.
Val found some real cows.
It’s a nice walk down to Alpiglen. From there we get a train up to Scheidegg, and another back to Wengen.
