Up a bit later had breakfast when phone rings to say they are picking Gabe up at half ten for skydiving. I go along for support and shortly reach airfield where two Asians had just landed. Weather was great about 24 and hardly a cloud in the sky. Do all the paperwork and a lesson in what to do and wait for two others to show up. About ten minutes later head instructor says that the jump is off due to weather. It looked perfect to me but none of the instructors wa...

Decided to get away early as there are a lot of Asians around here!! Missed the first train by thirty seconds and waited half an hour to get next. The first major stop is Grindelwald although a couple of smaller places along the way. Strange when we left here the train went back down but very soon started climbing and climb at about 45 degrees all the way. We had to change train at Kleine Scheidegg. While the you tube flicks you see the ride is not that scary. Af...

Later start again and apartment we are staying provide breakfast in the cost but have to walk about 330 mts to their restaurant/hotel. Good selection to choose from although here the yoghurt is a bit more sour than home. After breakfast take the train up to Lauterbrunnen a small village about seven hundred metres up from Interlaken . Fantastic views of the alps and hard to believe the number of little makeshift sheds that house a lot of split wood. It was only tw...

Interesting place and was told how each section operates. We all bought an eight rail pass and caught train to Interlaken. Went through Lausanne and changed at Bern for Interlaken. Very smooth ride and quiet and all transport runs on time. Good part in Geneva is that there is on...

Late start again as flying to Geneva walked the streets and bought a French beret. Had lunch at cafe du marche and it seems we eat a lot quicker than the French. Got out of comfort zone and had a steak with wedges and was very good. Funny you don't see any obese people in France most are slender. Saw a truck emptying water into the gutter and thought that was funny the amount of rain they get. Standing outside apartment when guy comes up and asks for a light. Tur...
