Day 26 ~ A Goodbye to the Valley

Posted on September 19, 2023September 21, 2023 By Stef Plebanek

We have loved our time in the Lauterbrunnen Valley more than we can say. Well, Daniel was sick most of the time, so Stef had the better time, but still. This has been a complete fantasyland of natural wonders. If you like natural beauty, and we sure do, this might…

Today was our much-anticipated first ride on the Golden Pass. These are famously scenic panoramic trains that travel from Lucerne, right in the center of the country, through Interlaken near us, to Montreux in the west.

Posted on September 15, 2023September 17, 2023 By Stef Plebanek

We got up earlier than usual, and cheerfully headed up to the much-anticipated Jungfraujoch. This is “The Top of Europe,” the highest point reached by rail in Europe and its longest continually-inhabited high point. We’d seen photos and videos, and oh man did we want to go. When we hatched…

Day 21 ~ Welcome Wengen

Posted on September 14, 2023September 15, 2023 By Stef Plebanek

Oh friends. We’ve had a good time on this trip. Today is actually officially 3 weeks. We are just a day shy of halfway through our trip. We have seen amazing things, and have been so, so happy. Nothing has prepared us for this. We almost didn’t come to Switzerland….
