We visited a couple of pubs and had a terrific curry at the Taj Palace. Val and I spent the night at Emily\u2019s so that we could get an early start towards the airport this morning. Emily\u2019s place is in the old part of Interlaken, just by the river. It\u2019s a lovely spot. Here&#8217;s my morning coffee view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4620-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4620-1024x673.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4620-1024x673.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4620-300x197.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4620-768x504.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4620-1536x1009.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4620-2048x1345.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4620-457x300.jpeg 457w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We caught the train towards Geneva.
