Had a really good sleep, room very quiet especially for a 10 bed. Got up at 9 30 and went to breakfast, included in price, fab! Got some cornflakes and toast, so hard to get over here so really enjoyed it. Came back to room and got up slowly. Headed off alone to the lion monument via the lake. Lake really cloudy could barely see it but worth a look. Lion monument of a dying lion so quite sad but very good. Decided my interest in geology wasn't great enough to war...

Spent the day with Mel again. Got up about 9 and headed to the Trummelbach waterfalls, nice half hour walk through valley in between mountains. Waterfalls amazing. had 10 different ones, got the lift almost to the top and explored them and walked down. the steps were inside the mountain. The waterfalls had such force behind them, really noisy. Had to shout to be heard. Beautiful clear glacier water. Walked back to campsite to find our room mates had locked us out...
