Thought we’d better give Nicki a highlights tour of the Grindelwald locale so we grabbed our sick bags and jumped into the head-turning Grand Kangoo to hit the road.

Headed up the Lauterbrunnen again and made
our way to Stechleburg at the end of the valley. The area at the end of the valley is a UNESCO
designated world heritage site. As Nicki
and Harry were feeling a little bit green we left those trails for our next
European vacation and headed back down the valley.
The valley we drove up is quite spectacular
and hemmed in on both sides by huge cliffs rising vertically from the valley
floor with waterfalls (72 apparently) cascading down the cliff faces everywhere
you looked. Very impressive, even a
second time around. Went up to the same
waterfall we were at the other day, this time in better weather, and enjoyed
the view from the tunnelled rock platform.

After that we drive down to Interlaken and
walked through some local markets enjoying the ambience. Thought we may get some dinner but we were
horrified by the prices so we thought about grabbing some local hotdogs
(bratwurst on bread) instead. €6.00 per
doggie (about $39 Oz for the family for bloody hotdogs) put an end to those thoughts
so as a fallback position we decided to hit up some very local Swiss fare going
by the name of Ze McDonalds Familia Ristorante!
A couple of cheesies and we were out of there back to our apartment to
pack.
Stray observations: Switzerland, beautiful one day, an expensive,
vomiting wreck the next. Super!
