Switzerland: Trummelbach to Lauterbrunnen

Three Happy Travelers
We emerged from Trummelbach Falls to daylight as the sun rose over the valley walls, and we continued our stroll, bags in tow, down the path. Now it was wider and paved and the valley had widened some. We stopped for a rest and snack at one of the many benches along the route, and chanced upon a solo tourist trying to take her own picture against the cliffs with the help of a fence post. We quickly traded photographer duties and obesiences, had our chocolates and cheese, and were on our way.

On the Path to Lauterbrunnen
As we came into Lauterbrunnen, we began passing more houses on the hills at the base of the cliff, an occasional city park, and the ever-present waterfalls brightening the cliffs above. Even later as we waited for our train, we could stand on the platform and watch a beautiful falls high above town.

Our train arrived and swept us away from the Alps, back to Interlachen, then to Bern for a train change, then on to Geneva on the main line, then the bus from Geneva station to our home-away-from-home at Kim's condo in time for dinner. Tomorrow, the city....
