Lauterbrunnen Day 3

Today, Wednesday, May 20, another rainy day but we are off to Interlaken and Gundlischwand.  There is a train between Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen that runs every half hour so it is easy to get out of town.

Interlaken Ost

Under Grand Hotel in Interlaken.  The hotel had beautiful flower arrangements in the lobby.

 A nice Japanese park in town.

Catholic Church with interesting windows

Protestant church with stained glass windows

The pipe organ was playing when we entered the church.  I taped some of it for a DVD when we get back home.

Beautiful cemetery behind the church.

Yard art ideas for when we get home.

Downtown Interlaken.  It looks like a beautiful town but unfortunately today the cloud cover was so low you could not appreciate the beauty of the surrounding hills.

Yep, modern enough to have a Hooters and a Casino.  Played in the Casino for 45 minutes and came out even.  For me that is a good day!

Couldn't pass up this window sign as we wee walking back to the train station to go up to Grindelwald

Waiting for the train.

I have taken over 3,400 pictures on the trip and lots of old barns, especially for our friends Mark and Sandy that we met on the cruise ship.  Mark is an artist who enjoys painting old barns.  I will send him some of the Sequim barn off of Sequim Avenue when we get home.  Only 8 days before our adventure is over.

Staying dry

We have certainly felt like a minority while visiting this part of the world.  We have seen soooo many tourists from Japan and India.  Now they even have Tourist Information stations especially for the Japanese.

 

 

The weather in Grindelwald was just to cold and wet so we headed back down to Lauterbrunnen and a nice hot dinner.  Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow.

 

Good Night Friends,
