We are now in Gimmelwald, a tiny village above the Lauterbrunnen valley in Switzerland, population less than 200. In order to get here, we took a train from Interlaken, we took the postal bus up to Schlechelberg (or something like that), and then a cable car up to Gimmelwald. It was so foggy that we could not even see where the cable car was going. We are literally inside a cloud right now. It is pretty neat, even if not the views we had hoped for. It is supposed to clear out tomorrow, so hopefully we will have some spectacular pictures to share with you then.

We have also met some interesting people at our hostel during our travels. Many Australians, and some Koreans, Japanese, British and Canadians. Some have been travelling for 6 months on round the world tickets. Amazing. Almost everyone speaks great English which is nice, though it has made us somewhat lazy travellers.


It is very difficult to type here because the z and y are switched and I do not know where the apostrophe is on the German kezboard. I apologiye for the shorter posts as a result. But here are a few pictures from the last couple of days.

Hi there Melanie & Ankur - I managed to find your blog! Really enjoying reading about your travels whilst I'm sat here at work. Looking forward to a proper catch up on your return leg in London. I'm determined to show you that the UK is about more than London...(especially Harrow, Middx). Claire xx
