Grindelwald - Brienz - Grindelwald

The fourth horseman (diarrhoea) of the apocalypse rode in last night to signal the beginning of the end of days and promptly took out Harry and Max during the night.

Awakening to an apartment strewn of bodies only Harry, Ryan and I could manage to venture outdoors so we left leaving the dying and wounded to the vultures circling above. 


Gorge with an unpronounceable name
Drove about 10 minutes out of town to a gorge called Gletscherschluct which has walkways bolted into the side of the cliff faces that go about 800m in.  The water comes bolting down from a glacier above and is quite loud and an impressive sight.

After that Harry pulled the pin as last nights activities took their toll so Ryan and I drove down to Interlaken and then along Lake Brienz.  Lake Brienz is a beautiful turquoise colour and the road winds along the shore through little towns dotted by the water.  Stopped at one to scope out a 13th century castle and then at another to enjoy an ice-cream by the water.  




Ringgengberg castle - with church built on ruins.

Not the most action packed day but nice to get out of the house and into the sunshine. (And away from the dead and dying.)

Stray observations:  Kids (7 year old monkeys) can't help but dob you in to your wife just because, maybe, and the jury is still out, maybe you may have inadvertently entered a small airport and driven halfway across a runway.




Lake Brienz - from castle rampart.

Just more boring scenery while you're driving.

Mad geology behind house - for the nerds
