Day-16-Interlaken
Fine and sunny, top temp 25c.
Went up into the mountains today. What a day. Without any doubt the most spectacular day I have ever experienced. We are now on shaking hands terms with the Eiger, the Jungfrau etc. We did six cable car trips and lunched at about 3,000 metres in a revolving restaurant up the top. The scenery was stunning. This made the river cruise etc, look like a waste of time. It is really beautiful here. Quite a bit of white knuckle stuff, but it was worth it. I had no expectation of being so up close and personal with these mountains. They were just right there. There were even mad bastards skiing down. Also heaps of para-gliders sailing about in the mountains. It was a cool 4c up the top, but only a very gentle breeze and very pleasant. We are going out to a traditional dinner and folklore show. Tomorrow on to Lucerne.
