M managed to take leave on Friday and we brought his parents to the Berner Highlands. It’s the Swiss alps and I must say it’s amazing. Probably the perfect holiday destination. I told M and my in laws many times that I cannot believe we have not ever thought of coming to these ‘Ricola places’ (It really looks like it came out of the Ricola commercials) I think they are best seen in summer and winter, most people go during those times.
We stayed in an Airbnb for 2 nights in Interlaken. Below is a picture taken near the place.
The first day, we did Lauterbrunnen, which is a beautiful valley with beautiful waterfalls. We saw the Staubbach and Trummelbach falls. We went to the small village Wengen and took the aerial cable car up to Mannlichen. Amazing views... The whole place is so tranquil and quiet, only the melodious chimes of the cow bells 💗
Second day, we went to Jungfraujoch. It’s so high up it took us forever (like 3 hours each way) to get there. We covered it in under 2 hours. We spent a lot of time at lunch coz the service was ultra slow... 😠. Saw the TOP of Europe, Lindt Choco factory, alpine sensation and ice palace. Very nice but I think once is enough. I have no desire to sit another 3 hours of train just to see it again. It was also filled with tourists...
Last day we did Grindelwald. We just spent time at First to do the Tissot Walk. I think the more fun part is riding the cable car up (E loved it) and then for M and I- riding the mountain cart down!! The mountain cart was good fun! Here's a pic of the view you get from mountain-carting:
Had a great weekend though it was crazy riding the trains around. 😊 Now back to reality... 😅
