Date: Wednesday 11th June
Staying: Camping Jungfrau – Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland
Distance Travelled: 0 Miles
Song of the day: The Sky is Broken - Moby
We were hoping for another beautiful, clear, hot day like we had yesterday. Unfortunately, the rain came in (good for the waterfalls which are stunning after rain, and there are more that appear out of no where, not so good for us). So, instead of spending the day exploring the valley, we decided to investigate Interlaken, the main centre of the area.
As you can probably tell from the name, Interlaken is at the confluence of two lakes, and is surrounded by mountains. So it should be a fantastically beautiful place, and probably is, but not when you spend your time there diving between shops to avoid the thunder storms. This had the added bonus for Laurie of letting her do lots of shopping (I think she was starting to get withdrawal). And my aching arms cans safely say she took full advantage
The highlight of the day was probably the place where we had lunch and Laurie got to try a proper Swiss cheese fondue (apparently it is a local dish. Learn something new etc). I tried another local dish called Rosti which was a lot like a mashed up hash brown with onions (the sausages were excellent though, which is always good). So today was a bit of a loss really, but even in the pouring rain, the valley is stunning. I could have sat taking photos for hours.
