Switzerland has been amazing!
On Tuseday we visited Bern for a few hours; far too short of course. The senery while travelling has been gorgeous.
We left our hotel in Eggiwil where we stayed two nights. The photos yesterday were from our visit to Jungfraujoch, the highest point in Europe. What an experience!
The cheese factory across the street from our hotel had a good fire going. They were taking deliveries of milk by the can and tank.
On our way today we visited the Trachselwald castle. This was used as a prinson for many prisoners including many Anabaptists of whom many were totured and killed in various ways.
Henry trying to get the feeling of standing in a confined space. I am sure my expression is nowhere near to the prisoners that actually went through these tortures.
On to the longest continuous Mennonite church in Langnau.
One mode of transport.
A cemetary is always a stark reminder of the brevity of our life on this earth.
Any bikers needing an excilerating challenge? You could get that on so many of the smaller routes through the countryside!
We arrived in Einsiedeln and visited a Benedictine monastery a short walk from our hotel.
I am not sure if this is a Swiss chalet but it looks like one to me.
Hotel Allegro is our home for the night. What a contrast to the walk behind hay mover that is used by many of the small farmers.
One of the many small farmyards; right next to our hotel.
And again one of the stunning landscapes.
Tommorow (not today) we travel to Zurich and then to Singen, Germany.
A good day to you all from both of us.
