Coop Lunch
... a basic meal, it was still very good. And if you ever go to Switzerland, I would recommend doing this anywhere because a lot of restaurants can be fairly expensive.
While eating lunch, this one guy came zooming by on a funny looking cart. The way he was sitting on the very front of the cart. But, like I said, guys like him have serious business to attend to, so if you go out in the middle of the road, ...
Atop The Hill
The funicular took us all the way up to Allmendhubel, just higher up the mountain from Mürren. There was not much there, just a restaurant and another playground. This one wasn't even fun though. I mean, it had a long slide, but it kind of hurt going down, because it curved from side to side. But there was a great view of the Alps!
Anyway, Mom and I waited on a bench up there for Dad, Susannah, Allison, ...

Thanks so much to Amelia and her friend, Zoe, for sharing such a beautiful place!
Anyways, after awhile Stefan and Eileen make it ...

... winging it when we got to Bern. Unfortunately, I mis-read the time on one of our tickets (the 24 hour time can throw you for a loop every now and then) and we missed our train by about five minutes -- we raced through the train station to try to get there in time. Too bad Swiss trains are NEVER late. We changed our reservatyions to find that the last avaliable train was the last train of the day, meaning we were going to get into Bern at 12:00am without a place to stay and ...
