The adventure continues!


Switzerland continued...

Lizzy enjoying the view of the valley...

Wengen: Our first day in Wengen was beautiful! We took a gondola from the village up to the top of the mountain that towered above it. From there we went for a hike. We walked through fields of wildflowers with majestic mountains surrounding us on all sides.

The wildflowers were everywhere!


The steam we found in the forest.


The whole hike we were headed towards the famous Eiger and our hike ended at the base of the North face where 64 people have perished attempting to summit.  We enjoyed an authentic Swiss meal before boarding the train that took us back to Wengen.

Two stops before the village, Dad, Caroline and I (Katherine) decided to get off of the train and try to find our way back to our chalet. We had a marvelous time wondering through fields where cows grazed and patches of forest where little streams bubbled over rocks. We even found a patch of wild strawberries and stopped for a few minutes to enjoy their sweet taste! Eventually we made it back to the chalet just as everyone else was arriving!

Stay tuned for our next post from Switzerland!
