Hotel upgrade- yeah! Made the Swiss hotel bill easier to swallow.
Visited Interlaken, most famous for taking a trip to the highest train station in Europe. We didn't take the train to the top of Jungfrau- even with a discount it costs 4 nights accommodation.
Us being us, we took the cheap option (also scored a free spoon today by using a voucher from the hotel-yeah!) and rode a mini funicular to a third of the 4000 odd metre height to try and score a view across the valley.
The clouds opened up for a few moments to see 'the top of Europe'. Jungfrau and it's neighbors cut the sky while US fighter jets cut the sound barrier. We had a great local dried meat platter including local red deer.
It is so clean here- everyone takes a lot of pride in keeping it that way. So much so, there is a local tv ad which takes the piss- local men singing while they Hoover the jetty.
