Day 26 - Wengen - June 22

It’s a little cloudy in the mountains today so we are going for a cruise on Brienzersee (lake) up to Giessbach  falls,  Aare Gorge and Reichenbach falls (where Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty had their final fight) and we managed to get to them all!
View of the Jungfrau first thing this morning from the hotel. 
 View of the Jungfrau (on left) from Wengen and right down into the Lauterbrunnen Valley. 
 Boat across Brienzsee to Giessbach hotel which is right next to the Geissbach falls. We took the funicular up to the hotel, had an ice cream At the hotel and walked down a winding path to catch a steam driven paddle boat back to Brienz. 
 Brienzersee. 


We were thinking of going to some of the other restaurant in Wengen but this morning at breakfast they brought around the menu for dinner tonight - salad, soup, roast duck breast, vegetables and risotto and profiteroles.  How can we pass that up?  Also the guys that run this hotel are so passionate about it and so nice that we feel we should support them. Not a hardship when the food is absolutely fabulous and 1/2 the price of anywhere else, no wonder all the guests have been eating in.
