Train to Wengen on the fritz

 Today we were headed to a cheese festival in Wengen.

First stop along the route was the tiny town of Thun, on Lake Thun. Sweetest little town there ever was. 





We climbed up to an amazing castle. 



Wonderful areas for rest and water.
Thank God, we're not used to climbing tiny marble steps to the top of a mountain!


We took a boat ride across Lake Thun to Interlaken. The views were stunning. The water was a beautiful turquoise. 


We stumbled onto a private cabin on the boat. 


We had a tasty glass of local white wine and met Ivan. Our waiter extraordinaire. 

Our next destination was Wengen to a local cheese festival in the countryside.  Unfortunately,  the line to Wengen was out. Instead the train took us to Grindelwald.  A lucky turn of events. We got to see Eiger and have a delicious lunch.









Jessica and Matt are the best travel companions ever.  Jessica is a natural at figuring out trains, Matt is our internet connection and both are always up for the unknown.  💕
