Switzerland





We love Interlaken - Switzerland!
We took advantage of the clear blue sky on our first day to go up to Schilthorn which is 3000 metres above sea level. It took about 2 hours to get there by train, cog rail and a couple of cables cars. Fantastic journey with views whichever way you turned. Once there you could wander outside and take in the 360 degree views, and as well enjoy a meal inside at the revolving restaurant.
On our way down we stopped off at Murrem, 1600 metres above sea level. It is a beautiful village with typical swiss cottages set on the side of the mountain. We had the good fortune to see a herd of cows being led through the village prior to them being milked. We heard them coming, they all had cow bells on!
