Days 14 & 15 - Interlaken, Switzerland

We had plenty of time for a leisurely drive from Liechtenstein to Switzerland and the sun was shining so a few detours to look at the views seemed like a good idea. The first one to a viewing point went smoothly, just a few windy steep uphill roads, many single track, which didn't phase Martin .

Emboldened by our progress we headed for sightseeing stop number 2, a scenic waterfall. Unfortunately this wasn't to be, as the road got steeper and narrower and with no more satnav signal we couldn't find it. Finally Martin found a slightly wider space for us to turn around in a 10 point turn ! The journey back down the mountain was still   nerve-wracking   but at least we weren't on the cliff edge side.   After that we headed off for our next campsite just outside Interlaken.

Again another lovely campsite right next to a lake and on a cycle route straight into Interlaken.

Martin planned another great bike ride to Spiez and back ,taking care to avoid the paths which would have required Lesley to have to do wheelies as she's not very good at them yet.

We really needed heads on swivels as we cycled along as whichever way you looked the views were fantastic - lake, mountains, woods ,cute houses and  cows with bells around their necks providing the backing sounds ,take your pick.

On the way back through the centre of Interlaken we spent an enjoyable break eating ice-cream sat on a bench watching paragliders coming in to land in front of us. Very tempting to have a go but we were only in shorts & t-shirts and you needed to be more wrapped up. For the cynical amongst you, of course the £200 per person price tag didn't put Martin off .

So tomorrow we re off again somewhere in  France, not sure where yet but we ll look at the map tonight and we re not going to be caught out by the next bank holiday so shopping on route .

Enjoy your weekend all.
