Back to Switzerland with Geoff & Shaun. Unfortunately there was too
much snow which stopped us doing many of the intended walks. We all had a
wonderful time despite the rain!
We climbed the Schynigge Platte on Monday with marvellous views of the Eiger,
Monch & Jungfrau. The place was deserted because the trains were not yet
running. Heavy rain for the last two hours of the walk into Bonigen.

On Tuesday we went to Grindelwald and climbed the wooden steps up to the
glacier in the rain again.

Wednesday was bike ride day with a trip around Lake Brienz, and it didn't
rain all the time.

On Thursday we walked from Wengen Northwards and then towards Grindelwald
across avalanches and landslides.

Friday meant a walk from Beatenburg through a tunnel, up the valley and then
over the ridge to arrive back in Habkern. Excellent weather, a superb day
to finish on.
You can just see the top of a sign post between Geoff & Shaun in the snow.

Some photos Geoff took on the same day
We travelled home on Saturday but just caught a final glimpse of the area we
had walked in the previous day.
