Interlaken and Grindelwald, Switzerland

After arriving in Interlaken Switzerland and checking into our hotel (a very quaint place), we rode the funicular railway to the top of Interlaken (Harder Kulm).  We bought our tickets and waited in line - the line actually moved fairly fast.  The grade is fairly steep.  At the top it is 4,337 feet above sea level.  The view was speculator.  While on top of the mountain, we met people from Turkey, India, Nepal and all over Europe.  








We rode the train back down the mountain and had dinner at a local restaurant our hotel recommended.  After dinner we purchased a few groceries for the next day, Sunday and went back to our hotel.   
Sunday morning we arose and attended church at the local branch.  The meeting was in German, but they provided a translator for us.  The young lady who translated was a returned missionary.  She served her mission on Temple Square in Salt Lake City and made us all happy.  


After church we returned to our hotel, checked out and drove to another place nearby called Grindelwald.  This alpine community was very beautiful.  After visiting Grindelwald we drove to Baden Baden, Germany and checked into our hotel (a Holiday Inn).  We went for a walk to explore and plan our Monday. 








"When it comes right down to it, people are quite similar.  We may come from different backgrounds, cultures, and economic circumstances, and our attitudes and perspectives may vary.  But in the heart -where it really counts-we're a lot alike".  M. Russell Ballard. Our Search for Happiness
