Yea! I didn't have to be tour guide today - with my printed version of the day's SBB timetable ever at the ready. Today we were invited to go for a hike in Adelboden with a couple we met in 2014 and have stayed in contact with through Facebook. We met at Thun station and caught the train to Frutigen. Then transferred to the bus to Abelboden where we took the gondola up to a higher point to start our walk at Tschenten.
This is the way we are going - first up uphill!
Brilliant vistas even on an overcast day and still the odd wildflower among the grass
Someone is ready for lunch and it was delicious - carrot soup and then steak with vegetables and chips.
After a leisurely lunch we had a rainy walk back to Adelboden but I still managed to take a few more pictures!
When enlarged you can see the row of bells under the eaves and I like the little cubbie house out to the left.
Bussed and trained to Thun and up to Heiligenschwendi. Once again the walk home was delightful with the cows coming in, the fog rapidly changing and the beautiful Autumn colours on our neighbours woodshed.
Home sweet home - for a little while anyway
The flowers we've seen are called «Feld-Kranzenzian» (http://www.alpenflora.ch/bluetenfarbe/violett/).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the trip!
Thanks for looking up the flower name and to the two of you for giving us such a great day in Adelboden!
