To the top of Europe

As daylight breaks over the beautiful Interlaken WADDA is out and about walking the streets road testing his new Jack Wolfskin coat,the air is brisk  as daybreak creeps over the alps . As Interlaken is not yet awake I have all this beauty to myself, looking at these snow covered peaks as daybreaks over them is truly amazing. As breakfast nears we had better fuel our bodies for what will be probably be the the biggest day in my 68 years, this will be special . This 2 hour journey takes us on some of the steepest and most spectacular scenery you’d you would ever wish to see, I can hardly believe that this is not a dream. As we climb higher the air becomes thinner and the scenery more beautiful, looking skyward you can see our final destination it seems an impossible task. On arrival you take a few big gulps of the crisp mountain air and go WOW ,we head outside to the viewing area it’s minus 2and a fairly brisk breeze but not a cloud in the sky . So button up for this is what it’s all about and we spend about 30 minutes exposed to the elements then head for cover. We tramp around for awhile gathering a few trinkets before starting to make our way down, altitude sickness has struck down one of the Twisted Sisters so the decent will be sooner than later. The going down was just as good as going up until we reached Grindelwald a small village sandwiched between a couple of mountain ranges, sister  2 wasn’t yet ready for any more shopping so we headed home. Now I’ll never know if I liked Grindelwald or not, maybe it’s just another village .A decision will be made later regarding tomorrow’s action. That it for today good by........WADDA
