On our feet most of the day, we went from Kleine Scheidegg to Grund and then back by gondola and Luftseilbahn to Wengen and then by funicular to Lauterbrunnen and then by foot again to Stechelberg and then up by Luftseilbahn to Muerren.

Busy, busy, busy.

Up above were peaks, one after the other, reassuring and the opposite of mysterious.  Stern, sure, but more secure than that.  No wonder people leave their money here, no wonder that the symbol of Prudential is a huge rock.

Food, as it should be when things are going well, was an afterthought and so it was delicious: Beeler cheese (Gruyere) enjoyed in a meadow, and Swiss salami and seeded rolls.  in the evening: Arctic char and roasted eggplant and zucchini.

The sun is rising on the Eiger now, and that can only mean one thing.
