The Berner Oberland

003

Today we hiked.

048

This is Mount Eiger (The Ogre) as seen from the Panorama Trail.

052

We watched out for falling rocks.

A nice Chinese woman took this picture even after Sue asked her in Japanese, “Please take our photo.” The weather was changeable with some sprinkles, some sun, some wind, and some fog.

 

057

We ate lunch near this chalet at the end of the Panorama Walk. We had very white sausage that tasted like ring bologna.

098

We took a cable car about thirty minutes up from Grindelwald Grund up to Mannilichen.

129

This is the edge of the cliff looking out over Lauterbrunnen Valley.

Here is the same view on the cheater camera mode, “vivid color.”

011

Look, I’m pointing at something really interesting.

143

This is Sue standing on the top of the world or at least 6000 feet.

The wild mountain flowers were pretty amazing.

213

The white stuff is snow in July and the thick white stuff are glaciers.

225

From 9500 feet we walked uphill to view the three “Top of Europe” peaks which are in the 13000 range.

232

This was during the drizzling.

082

And, here is a typical collection of Duke Houses in Grindelwald.
