So not only have I finally picked up the scooter - I have ridden into some of the most spectacular countryside on this earth. Outback Australia is very cool - and Lauterbrunnen could not be more of a contrast - and I LOVE them both equally.

... well sign posted, well maintained, with good crash barriers and good surfaces. Grindelwald is much bigger and far more touristy than Lauterbrunnen so we drove straight through it and up the mountain to see how far we could get. About 20kms up the valley ...

We had an awesome Swiss dinner at the Oberland hotel - cheese fondue and the swiss dish "Rotsi"(sp?). I should mention that Anne spent months looking for places to stay, etc. We wanted to stay on Gimmelwald (not Grindelwald) but it was booked. ...

... train reveals an even more stunning local. Today I took the train to the town of Grindelwald, while larger than Lauterbrunnen, and full of shops both tourists and expensive boutiques Grindelwald still retains every bit of Swiss charm. From there I ...

This place was awesome!! Smack bang in the middle of the Swiss Alps. Our hostel room was little wooden cottage, and the view all around was just of mountains. The one directly infront had snow on top. The one to the right had a waterfall that you could ...

... all the pictures that I have taken - that means lots..... Left Bellagio this morning and travelled by road up to Lauterbrunnen in Switzerland. Had the decision to either drive up the main highway or the back roads and chose the latter. These roads took ...

... had fallen in love. After chilling out for a bit we got a combined ticket and got a few gondolas and trains around the Lauterbrunnen area. It was a great day in beautiful surroundings, there was a chill in the air but the sun was shinning and the birds ...

... we had to pay for an ok meal at a little snack/restaurant kind of place. Things were a little cloudy and misty back in Lauterbrunnen. I would have to get up bright and early tomorrow to see if we can make the trip up to the top. Hopefully we didn't ...

Floods, raging rivers, landslides, power outages, road closures. Welcome to Switzerland.

... to say about that part. The drive was gorgeous though. Swizterland is just so picturesque, it's almost unreal. WE didn't arrive at Lauterbrunnen (a dinky little village) until evening, so all we really had time to do was, well of course DRINK! It was ...

We have just come back down to earth after a fantastic trip in a cable car to the 10,000ft summit of the Schilthorn, which was the film location for the James Bond film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The weather was perfect, after days and days of ...

We only have about 5 weeks now until we return to the UK (although we won't be returning to Kendal straight away) and we've had well over 1,000 visitors to our little blog since we left home. Now, we know Rob has a huge fan club (is that a trumpet I can ...

Switzerland was amazing!! from the moment we crossed the border the views were breath-taking. We stayed in a little village and were surrounded by the Alps. We took a train up to Jungfrau, which is the highest point you can get to by train in Europe. It ...

... through it and mountains in the background. Home of the Cuckoo clocks... Drive through more beautiful scenery until we reach Lauterbrunnen. Cabins are beautiful, a huge waterfall is just behind the cabins, makes a nice noise. One thing to mention about ...

We are loving it in Switzerland! Had plenty of rain, but the good days more than make up for it and today has been a cracking one. Really frosty this morning (not for the first time Daisy had ice on the inside of her windows) but lovely blue sky. We've ...

... small but will serve its purpose. It's really overcast so a lot of low lying clouds here. We are at about 800m in Lauterbrunnen I think. After sitting down for a few minutes we decided to go ahead and head into the valley. Not that the village is big ...

... Stelchburg, and took the cable car up the other side to Gimmelwald. Then I headed over to Murren, and then back into Lauterbrunnen. Its amazing to think that the gondola's only starting running in the 60's, its incredible to think what the locals did to ...

The small town of Lauterbrunnen is nestled in a gorge with sheer cliffs either side rising a kilometre straight up. The word picturesque could have been invented for it. The main attractions in the area were the skifields and the two peaks of Schilthorn ...

Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland Here we are again and loving it just as much. It is still as beautiful as it was 10 years ago. Train connections were perfect and we got here early. The panoramic train was great. Weather was kind of overcast and raining, but it ...

... can change in 24 hours. I have gone from hanging out with 77 people to being all alone in a peaceful town in Switzerland. Lauterbrunnen is in the valley of the Berner Oberland region of Switzerland with the Swiss Alps towering from above. (On a clear ...

... about 2pm. Grabbed a Foccacio on the train. the next shorter leg took us to Interlaken where we caught the local train to Lauterbrunnen. Hauling luggage on and off trains became quite an art form but we got it organised between the two of us. A final ...

... each (compared to 167 CHF for the Jungfraujoch) we caught the precariously steep cable car up to Grutschalp, which is directly above Lauterbrunnen at 1486m altitude. We then caught the train across to Murren, a tiny little town perched on a hill, a bit ...

Right now I'm tucked away in a small town in the Swiss alps called Lauterbrunnen. Unfortunately I wont actually get to spend a lot of time here, just the night in fact, because I'm just trying to get to Venice and this is a compulsory overnight stop. I ...

Well, i got up reeeeal early again this morning and pretty much the same story as yesterday. Tops of the peaks were cloudy. The Jungfrau had the most visibility being the highest but was still questionable. Plenty of folks going up though. I let ...
