Lauterbrunnen

 Montreux was lovely and Lauterbrunnen is like a fairy tale. We arrived here after taking a 3+hour panoramic train ride followed by a brief regional train ride and short walk. I will let the pictures from the train speak for themselves. From our room we can see mountains and a waterfall. It is a special place.

This is my 'commercial' shot with a nice family who was riding the train with us. Note the teenage daughter on her phone. She was looking out the window part of the time. Below are other train pictures

    These are the most beautiful pictures by far what a wonderful trip . Not sure if it is a house or church but the white building with a steeple looks like it has a happy face

    Wow! You've been seeing a lot of ancient man-made works and now you're seeing God's handiworks. Absolutely breathtaking!

Our travel philosophy has been we need to travel while we still can. Early this evening we were both questioning whether we waited too long. Our red-eye was delayed by two and a half hours so we didn't take off until @1 AM. Neither of us got much sleep. It is amazing how uncomfortable airplane seats are.  Our apartment is on the third floor, which we knew, but lugging suitcases up stairs was a challenge.  The woman who met us at the apartment locked herself out so we passed the time in a nearby Cafe until she got the key.

We stopped at a local market and picked up a few essentials, wine, coffee, cream, and hot sauce.  We also picked up something light for dinne...

It's a swanky old place We returned the rental car so the end feels real. I'll try to summarize everything after we get home and settled but the bottom line is this has been an amazing adventure. I am so happy I kept this blog so we'll be able to go through it and remember everything we've done. It is a bit of a blur right now.  I do remember what we did today. We started with a nice breakfast at our hotel in Argegno and then drove to Cernobbio. This is a lovely town on Lake Como that we passed on the way to the hotel. It's very small but managed to fit in three churches. It was beautifully landscaped and is home to a very exclusive hotel we weren't able to get near, and some large villas. The downtown was charming and home to assorted restaurants and stores. We were going to have lunch here but decided to get ...
