We left the house with rain and resigned to the idea the train ride up would be in the clouds. As soon as we started however, the clouds started to disappear and the sun came out.

What a superb ride! Had been 10+ years that I went up to Schynige Platte and was blown away again how beautiful was. We were in the last train up, so hardly anyone rode with us, giving us the space to move from left to right for the best views.

Just before we arrived at the final station, a rainbow welcomed us overlooking the Lauterbrunnen valley.

What a treat it was! Even when tomorrow we can't do anything, it has been worthwhile already.

💯

As predicted by the weather forecast we woke up in a white world at our altitude. The route to First was not doable (for us), so we resorted to a small loop to Oberberghorn. We were lucky enough that the clouds broke every now and then. Light snowfall as well, but much better than rain.

We had lunch back in the restaurant at the same time the weather conditions deteriorated, so we used the best part of the day. Gives us the opportunity as well to watch the World Championships Road Cycling for the women.

Went to the Expo Interlaken parking lot with my daughter for some amateur driving lessons by yours truely and since it has a nice view towards the Oberberghorn, I thought I'd make a picture. The picture of the Expo is from yesterday looking down.
