Hotel Rebstock Meiringen

... werden we verast met een dik pak sneeuw!! <br>Een wandeling van Riederalp langs Blausee, vervolgens door de heuvel-bos-rug naar Rieder Furka was een wandeling van 4 uur, met onze schenen in de sneeuw, was een goede start van onze wandel vakantie:)<br><br>Zeer fijn waren onze mooie nieuwe waterdichte en dus warme bergschoenen!<br><br>De volgende dag stond ondanks de nieuwe sneeuw welke de nacht gevallen was, wederom de Eggerhorn op het ...

... of Gimmelwald. An excerpt from his travel book: <br><br>"The traffic-free village of Gimmelwald hangs nonchalangly on the edge of a cliff high above Lauterbrunnen Valley. This sleepy village has more cow troughs than mailboxes. Many travelers say, 'If Heaven isn't what it's cracked up to be, send me back to Gimmelwald.' Gimmelwald is a community in the rough. Take a walk- you can tour it in 15 minutes. Its two streets are a 700 year ...

We were then supposed to take an overnight train to Bern Switzerland but I managed to **** that up royally and booked the train to Berne Germany, which is in the opposite direction... Jon was not impressed... and I only realized this 1 hr before our 10 pm train. So after hours of trying to rent a car (impossible during Oktoberfest) we got really lucky and found a car that needed to be returned to Switzerland anyways. So after a full day of ...

... me on a light red or two. I'll give it to her there was a red that I could handle should someone pour me a glass that I did not want to politely refuse; but I'd still prefer a white. Sorry Bron! The lady at this stand was lovely and we had a great chat about many things. She actually works with the wines purely as a hobby. Her day job is producing documentaries and films all around Switzerland. She was also kind enough to sell us a single ...

... edge of one of those thousand-meter cliffs. Access is via a tram, then an electric light railway along the clifftop to the village. At Mürren we cross the street and are handed the key to room six of the Eiger Guesthouse. Clean and simple, it could be page 328 of the 2006 Ikea catalogue, save for the deck facing out over the valley floor toward the peaks. On entering the room, the jet lag finally slapped us in the face, and we woke up 14 hours later.

... the alps! Or more appropriately that I tried to keep from sliding on my rear down the alps but lets not get technical. Our adventure neared its end with a private gondola ride down the remainder of the mountain. We did it! We reached the other side, through sunshine, clouds and the great unknown. All that remainded was an uneventful bus ride back to Lucerne and the ever troublesome scavenging for cheap yet satisfying grub. That was lucerne... with some color :)

... The Dutch couple seemed very interested and amused by our stories, and offered Colleen and I a lift to the next place we wanted to go that day (Stechelberg). From there you can take a cable car to see even more mountain villages, but we said we wouldn't as we had already spent too much that day. So the old man gave us Sfr20 and said, 'I don't know how far that will get you, but if you can just go one stop it will be worth it'. So we did go one stop, and it was definitely ...

... anyone for more than a couple days (you probably have to do it to understand the frustrations of solo travel). My first two days I didn't really talk to anyone, just hiked. Then I decided that my birthday present to myself would be to not leave the small beautiful mountain farming village for a while. On my third day I relaxed by the river all day(very sore) and there I met two ...

... visited in 1986 (if it was good enough for my cousin, it is good enough for me). The dining room was paneled in light wood, very nice...and a very enjoyable evening. Shirley joined us this evening and the three of us had a good time. I can&#8217;t wait for tomorrow and the Glacier Express train trip to St. Moritz. Before I go any further, I have to say again that the scenery has been spectacular! I never get tired of looking at it.

... to even have to explain it was more and sadly told us the price. Mike and I did the conversion and couldn't believe after all that it came to less than 10 dollars less than the crummy room. Needless to say we took it. I remember this room so well for the manager's sale of it to us, the fact that it had an outrageous view, and for the fact that we were finally ...
