It\u2019s a beautiful day, and we\u2019re up early. The first rays of sunshine hit the Silberhorn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owing to the constraints of her crutches, Val hasn\u2019t had a proper day out since her accident, so today we\u2019re going to put that right. We catch the bus from Lauterbrunnen, and then a series of four cable cars takes us up to Piz Gloria, a restaurant on the summit of the Schilthorn at almost 10,000 feet. We take our seats in the revolving restaurant, and tuck into brunch. Just look at the view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piz Gloria offers a great value day out at this time of year. It\u2019s free to get there with our ski passes, and you get a buffet brunch, with lots of hot and cold dishes and unlimited Prosecco, for just 25 Francs. The only constraint is that you have only 2 revolutions of the restaurant before you have to give up your table. 2 revolutions takes about 90 minutes, so this is fine. Here’s Piz Gloria from outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piz Gloria was the setting for the 1969 James Bond film ‘On Her Majesty\u2019s Secret Service’. Bond is everywhere up here. You can order a James Bond burger, and we had a James Bond brunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After we’d eaten (and drunk) ourselves silly, we got the cable car back down to M\u00fcrren at the foot of the mountain. There are some spectacular views from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a nice pub opposite the railway station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We meander our way back to Wengen. Drinks at Cafe Waldschluecht with David.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And later on, an amble to Rocks, with sausage rolls from the bakery for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emily flew to Santorini for a holiday yesterday. She sent some lovely photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
