Day 5
Luzern. Another beautiful three hour train journey and a lovely city. Highly recommended for a day, especially the Picasso Museum & the walk round the Old Town walls. Day 6 The Schilthorn Again, fantastically clear conditions and amazing views. We looked a bit silly when we forgot to change cable-cars at Birg, though! Day 7 On to Geneva. Sadly, we had to leave the mountains to be in Geneva for our return flight home the next day. We didn't want to go! Special mention must go to Tham's Snacks & Drinks which was so good we went twice! Tham and his charming wife are full of chat and we had two great meals there. The Edelweiss restaurant does an 'all you can eat' pasta night on Thursdays with a choice of 10 sauces & plenty for vegetarian options, so Rebecca was more than satisfied! The pizzas are pretty good, too, although Rebecca was surprised when her mixed vegetable pizza arrived topped with carrots, peas & beans! The Stägerstubli was good, but we ate far too much fondue and only have ourselves to blame! You'll not go hungry in Mürren! Ed, you were right when you told us there would be plenty to do in the mountains, even for non-skiers. We could have stayed much longer and did not want to make that final tearful journey from Mürren down to Lauterbrunnen! We found The Rough Guide To Switzerland & The Lonely Planet Switzerland very useful Hopefully, we'll be back to see what it's like in the Spring. Thanks again, and happy travels!
