A day in the Alps; time in their village
Hi again,
We are back from another fantastic day in the Alps, the Berner Oberland area, not far from Interlakken but to the east of it. The area is called Hasliberg and the lifts leave from Reuti. We drove about and hour and a half from the village and arrived in true Swiss Alps country. We drove up, up and away, past green pastures, Swiss homes like those in picture books, past cows with bells ringing, until ...
Lovely Luzern (or Lucerne)

Haven't seen any goats, or goatherds...
... it in the end, after Kel asked for directions in the bookshop with the Info sign out the front. And once we'd checked in we went back out for a bit of a walk and some real food.
Picked up some Rivella while we were out, too, on Andreea's recommendation *g* It's strange stuff...we can't quite place the flavour, but we both agreed that there's citrus there.
Oh, and some meringues *g* Since I found out recently that Meiringen is the home of the meringue *g*
