Thad and Betty on their way through Saxeten. A steep climb ahead! |
|
The weather clears for a beautiful view of Lake Brienz. |
Homemade cheese, homemade butter, homemade jam -- a real Swiss farmer's breakfast! |
|
The steep ascent was worth the effort! What a view of the Blumisalp mountain range! |
Strolling through farmland with friendly Swiss cows. |
|
A gentle walk down the Kiental valley. A refreshing stop for tired feet! |
Taking a breather. The "Wilderfrau" behind. |
|
Shephard Betty!? |
Betty, Thad, and Andrew. Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau. |
|
Last look at the Rotstockhutte. |
Chance for a shower! |
|
Nearing the high point of the day. Betty approaches Andrew and Thad as they admire the "Jungfrau". |
On our final traverse. What a view! "Breithorn" at the end of the valley. |
|
Thad cools steamy feet on long descent. "Hurry up! Can't stand it any longer!" |
The lower Schmadribach Falls. Refreshingly cool and damp. |
|
Home at last! Relaxing on the terrace, enjoying cold beers and sodas (and homemade tart!). |
