Yesterday it was goodbye to Italy as we headed north to our next destination. After the man made beauty of Venice we were off to a different kind of beauty. The natural beauty of Switzerland. Our Swiss stop for the next 2 nights was Grindelwald which we have been to before. That doesn't matter though as you can never get sick of somewhere so spectacular. Last night we had dinner included so wandered to a local restaurant and ate up a storm, washed down by ice bee...

The final leg of our Swiss tour began early. We packed, cleaned and said goodbye to our Chalet & Grindelwald as we made our way south west to Geneva. It was quite a long drive by Switzerland standards, about 280 k's but we would be fine. We could enjoy the countryside on the way. Well when I say we could enjoy the countryside I mean I could, as the rest of my travelling companions snoozed for most of it. I didnt really mind though as it was interesting to see...

The big feature of Lauter is a waterfall tha...

We had been searching for a cheap way to do this however it looked like we would just have to fork out the cash. We headed down to the train station to get tickets and found if we caught the last train up we could save £30 each. So we bought our tickets...

I was right and the drinks went down very well. In fact we went through most of our duty free purchases. The result is a late start to the morning. We managed a nice fry up then organised ourselves and into the car. In about 20 k's we were in Interlaken where we wandered around just enjoying yet another beautiful town. There were paragliders jumping from the mountain and circling the city, no doubt getting amazing views. Needless to say it's something that I'll n...
