grindelwald day 3

grindelwald day 3

yesterday we slept in... felt amazing.  we just laid in bed and looked out at the mountains.

 yesterday was another day of hiking.  rather than hiking down like Monday, we hiked up.  much more difficult...yikes!  we went up for a good hour and stopped at this place that had a "bobsled"type ride.  you get on a little cart and twist and turn down the mountain like you would on a bobsled.  only difference is the track is metal and you have wheels on your sled... no ice either.  you could go pretty fast, and then at the end of the ride there was a lift that took you back up to the start... no hiking back up. thank god.

we ate lunch at a lookout place where we could see tiny grindelwald down in the valley below.  we took a gondola back down to our town after lunch where we hung out on our balcony.

last night (as crazy as this might sound) we had the best pizza of our entire trip.  forget Italy.  uncle toms hut in Switzerland is where it's at!   the place was literally no bigger than a typical log cabin and we ate at the only table up in a loft... VIP style.  we met some people at dinner that were from the uk.  even teachers, go figure.  they were on a hiking holiday... which means that they hike from place to place... and somehow their luggage makes it to the next destination, they don't carry it while they hike.  I am not exactly sure how that works.  they were fun to talk to-the man had actually been to Cincinnati about 20 years ago to watch opening day... for business I think. small world.

we leave for Zurich in a couple of hours and fly to Barcelona later tonight.  this is the last stop on our trip.  kinda sad.  crazy to think we have almost been gone for a month.

see you in Spain!
