Schynige Platte and Harder Kulm

After that, I got a train back to Interlaken and then a funicular up to Harder Kulm, for more great views, and a wander around the woods.

I then took a boat across the lake and peered out at more castles before looking around Spiez.

Mountains, cable cars and shooting stars
Sep. 27th, 2012 07:43 pmI jumped aboard a cable car to Männlichen on a Friday, and oh, the mountains! It was there that I swung on a swing on the top of a snow-covered mountain. From Männlichen, I then walked around the mountains to Kleine Scheidegg, trying to avoid admiring the transitional mires.
After that, I caught a train to Grindelwald and then another cable car, this time to First. Such mountains!
That night, the sky was clear and I gazed up at the Milky Way, and then saw four shooting stars.

Lauterbrunnen and Interlaken
Sep. 25th, 2012 09:06 pmThe rain stopped and then the clouds started to clear and the mountains began to appear.
In Lauterbrunnen, walking through the valley with the mountains surrounding me, I watched base jumpers appear in the sky, and then land nearby.
At Trümmelbachfälle, inside the mountain, I watched ten glacier waterfalls whooshing down the rocks, roaring, splashing.
In Interlaken, I wandered around the town, staring into shop windows at conkers made of chocolate, and of magical cards where dice turn into mushrooms. I also gazed into the greeny-blue river, trying to catch a peek at reflections of mountains.

Wengen on a Wednesday
Sep. 24th, 2012 08:27 pmI arrived in Switzerland, sleep deprived, and the clouds had come down from the sky and nothing was to be seen from Wengen that Wednesday.
I did discover the panorama channel on TV though, which showed webcams on the tops of mountains and made for strangely compelling viewing, particularly when I was intending to go to the top of those mountains.
The highlight of Wednesday was probably the apple strudel, which apparently caused my pupils to dilate when I ate it, it was that good.
