Binder Family Travel Adventures

Well, Switzerland is the place where basically ALL of our activities are outdoors…you know mountains and such.

And it has been raining for 3 days…puts a bit of a damper on what we can do. But we are making the best of it and doing what we can…without too much complaining…

We could not do anything in Lucerne today, because it did not stop raining the entire morning. We took an earlier train instead.

We travelled from Lucerne to Interlaken today. The train ride is supposed to be one of the best train rides…but we could not see much through the clouds. We did see some waterfalls, which was neat. We got to the hotel, and the accommodations are not as nice as our other hotels, which seems to match how Switzerland is going.

We tried to eat lunch at the nearest restaurant, but there was a line out the door and you guessed it…it was raining. So we opted for a brat from the local grocery store restaurant.

Since it was pretty rainy and cloudy, we opted to not go up any mountains and do any hikes, instead we attempted to go explore Beatus Caves. It was a half hour bus out of the town.

Turns out the cave is closed because it is flooded!!! The caves were free because you could only walk 50 feet in until we are stopped by the flooding. So, we instead enjoyed the waterfall and the view.

It may have been closed, but the hike up and down were pretty and the rain mostly stopped by the time we were coming down, got wet from the waterfall though. The waterfall was roaring, which was amazing too. Tomorrow’s forecast looks pretty clear, so wish us luck! Because this is not the high point of the trip…
