Today the plan was to take the train in the opposite direction from Wengen to Kleine Scheidegg which was at 2,061 M. As we were travelling by train, Bob and I realized that the snow on the ground would not be good for him walking. We didn’t want to spoil the fun of the others, so said we would take the train back down and repeat some of the hike we did on Tuesday from Lauterbrunnen.
Janet and Gary decided to join us, so Sharon and Steve went on their way. They had a great hike, but it was a smart decision for us as it would have been too slippery for Bob.
The trip to Lauterbrunnen by train was nice, we then walked towards the Trummelbachfalle Falls and then continued from there to Schilthorn. We had our lunch while walking and the weather was wet, but not as cold as up the mountain for sure. We turned around in Schilthorn and walked back to Lauterbrunnen for another visit to Flavours Coffee shop. We enjoyed a treat there and then took the train back to Wengen, opting not to do a repeat of yesterday’s hike, nor the one we did on Tuesday. We met up with Sharon and Steve at the Coop for more dinner supplies and things for our final morning in Wengen. Sharon, Steve and Gary did a hike from the Coop and Janet, Bob and I carried the groceries back to the apartment.
This was a nice day and a good chance for Bob to give his knee a bit of a break. The weather was damp and cool, but manageable. I dug out an extra layer today which I hadn’t really thought I would need when I packed, but sure glad I had the option. We are leaving Switzerland tomorrow evening for Split, Croatia. We will be spending a couple of nights in Split before meeting up with the Bike Tour group on Monday morning.
Tonight, we had another dinner in which was a great meal. We are making our plans for our departure in the morning. It will be a busy day of travel. Trains and planes.Read more
