    Mürren: Day 2 … Lunch and Dinner

    July 24 in Switzerland ⋅ 🌧 50 °F

    It was almost 1:00p when we completed our Allmendhubel hike. Our route had brought us back to the Hotel Alpenhus. Perfect. We dropped off our bags and headed out for a light lunch.

    This time we went to Alti Mezg … an available table on the sidewalk a bonus for our fondue lunch. Hot tea was our beverage of choice … appreciated all the more towards the end of our meal when the temperature started dropping quite quickly. Following a short post-lunch stroll in the village, we returned to rest up. I intended to sit on the balcony while Mui napped, but even layered up it was too chilly. Instead, I fiddled with photos and did a little journaling at the desk in the room.

    Around 6:30p, we went to the dining room at our hotel for the Candlelight Dinner included in our package. Our meal started with a house-marinated salmon appetizer served with a dill sauce, followed by a creamy tomato soup. Next was a lemon sorbet palate cleanser served in a champagne flute. The main course was a tenderloin with peppercorn sauce and a side of potatoes au gratin and sautéed vegetables. We wrapped with a local dessert … Alpenruh Cream Slice … custard between two mille-feuille shells. We were pleasantly stuffed by the time we left the table.

    We will be leaving Mürren tomorrow. But before we do so, we have one more thing we want to do. We are praying that despite what the forecast calls for, we will have at least some sunshine and blue skies.    Read more
