Happy Birthday to Sam – hope you had a good day!!
It was much warmer overnight, but the dew was very heavy,
making for a wet pack up. At least we
weren’t in a “mountain shadow” this morning and the sun was very warming.
We headed off to Interlaken, with a downhill run for about
6kms, then flat for the next 12kms. We
knew what was coming though and decided to once again take the train to avoid
the grade 3 mountain climbs.
Interlaken seems to be a major tourist hub for extreme
sports and appeared to be very tourist orientated. We watched paragliders high above us with snow
covered hills as a backdrop. While we
were having coffee some tandem paragliders passed over us and landed in the
adjacent park. The boys weren’t
convinced to have a go!
The trains have been very easy to get on and off with our
bikes and today we had a dedicated carriage for them, which allowed us to take
a seat and enjoy the scenery, which was simply stunning.
We got off the train at Sarnen, had lunch and rode another
30kms to Lucerne. Our afternoon ride was
beside the lake and generally flat. We have
decided to stay here an extra day to look around and catch up on chores.
