Today brought a bit later start for all of us, as the trip to Wengen had to occur at a certain time in order to give Renae 48 hours of well deserved rest. we all woke up to a hearty Switzerland hotel breakfast, packed our things and went on our three hour ride to a train station in order to reach Wengen, as the bus could not go there. After a short wait, we boraded the train, enjoyed a scenic mountain ride, and soon found ourselvs in the quiet town of Wengen, complete with cowbells echoing over the countryside and a fantastic view of the Alps. Our afternoon was free for a variety of activities, including exchanging dollers for franks, shopping (mostly for chocolate and swiss army knives), and especially hiking and exploring the beautiful mountains set out before us. At 7:30, we all met back at the hotel, the Hotel Falken, for a delicious supper of soup, breaded turkey, and ice cream. Afterwards, the evening was free as well for card playing, journaling, or retireing early in preparation for another day in the Alps.
