Day 5

julz 19 2011

We took the train to Alpiglen, and walked 400 meters uphill to Kleine Sheidigg, 6761 ft. There were tons of tourists there, and the jungfraujoch train to the top, which we didnt take.

it began to rain again. Some of the group went on walking to Wengen... Lorraine had a blister and she and Peter, as well as Patricia and Chris took the train to Lauterbrunnen, to our hotel the Silberhorn.

Steven and I hiked on the Eiger Path to the small museum near a lake. When you press a button, the different hikes up the Eiger lit up on a topographical map on the wall.

When it got too rainy, we took a train to Lauterbrunnen, stopping in Wengen for a quick walk. Most cars there are electric. AS we looked for the swimming pool and headed out of town, we saw some boys in the schoolyard playing an apple game. Then we continued on the wanderweg towards Kleine Sheidigg, and we met our hiking group - Peter, Lynnette, Karen, John, and Rupert. They were wet enough to also take the train to the Silberhorn.

Welove our hotel, our attic room, on the 4th floor walk up. It is big, with lovelz views, a porch, and a bathtub. Dinner was at the hotel, and it was delish -- great salad at ayummy salad bar, soup that was not vegetarian but thez gave up cantalope, o.j., and a curry dish w delish fresh fruit, like pineapple, apple, strawberry.
