September 16th - Lauterbrunnen Valley
We missed breakfast in the dining room this morning, because we met early to ride up the Schilthorn.
Stechelberg - Gimmelwald - Murren - Birg - Schilthorn
We met in front of the hotel early to catch the local bus to the gondola.
We rode up through several towns on our way to breakfast at the revolving restaurant at the Schilthorn, featured in the James Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".
We shared the champagne buffet with Pat and Mary.
Kleine Schneidegg - Wengen - Mannlichen
We changed into our shorts and headed with the group to take the train to Kleine Scheidegg. We boarded the cable car to Wengen - Mannlichen, where we stopped for lunch. After lunch we hiked the Swiss Alps.
Can you believe how lucky we were to be hiking the Swiss Alps on this beautiful, sunny day?
We stopped for lunch at "The Top of The World". Then we began our hike down to Wengernalp to the train back to Lauterbrunnen. We even bought cheese from "the cheese lady".
We had the afternoon free. After we bought a few Swiss Army knives, we set out to find a few geocaches.
Free Dinner Night
We had dinner here at Horner's Pub with Kirk and Josie.
The group met afterwards for Happy Hour. The pub was crowded with the World Cup Base Jumping Competition participants and us. Of course it was crowded and rowdy, but lots of fun.
