Beatenberg: Day 1 … Resting

Having planned this as a day of rest — and a few errands — there’s not much to tell about today.

Beatenberg doesn’t have a grocery store … just a small self-service mini-shop where purchases and payments are based on the honor system. Take what you want; total your purchases; leave the payment in the box or charge it to your credit card. Not much of a selection on the shelves, however. So, Mui drove down to Unterseen — on the outskirts of Interlaken — to fill our larder from the Coop store. While he was gone, I unpacked and got settled a bit more. Then, I sat on the balcony, doing some catch-up journaling while enjoying the scenery.

It had been too cold to eat breakfast on the balcony, so we made sure to have lunch — and later, dinner … snacks, really — out there. In between, we went for a short walk until the road dead-ended at the Niederhorn cableway. Hmmm! I think we now know what we will be doing tomorrow!Läs mer
