View from the B&B Window...So another May bank holiday... where to go?? I know Switzerland, at least I can get there without a schengen visa!! So we left on Friday afternoon from City airpot (such a nice airport - they dont loose your bags :-) and landed in Zurich. Then took a 2hour train ride up to Interlaken. Got there rather late and got a wee bit lost in finding our accommodation which literally was a stones throw from the train station.

Wooden house outside our B&B were able to get a bird's-eye view of the entire Jungfrau Region and looked over the Lakes of Thun and Brienz. Again we had sunday lunch at the top.

Monday we spent the day around Zurich in the old town by now the feet were starting to feel the affects of walking for 3 days sightseeing.. In the afternoon we took our flight back to rainy grey london.
