On Saturday, September 23th, we awoke to a cloudy sky and rain. This did not stop me from going down town to the bakery for our usual fresh pastry's for breakfast, and we tried some new flavoured yogurts like hazelnut. Really superior.
We figured, a rainy day is good for shopping in the big town of Interlacken, and we also planed on visiting our relative, Andreas' mother, Rosie. She is over 80 year olds, but still gets around really well. We caught the train in Grindelwald and arrived in Interlacken Ost 40 minutes later. Packed with an umbrella we walked down the main street and visited every souvenir shop, and believe me, there are many.

Shopping at Interlacken, Donna is happy, even in the rain
After a wile and lots of shopping like Swiss key rings, pens, lighters, etc., we worked up an appetite. In the restaurant across the Bahnhof of Interlaken West we had salad, veal schnitzel with mushroom cream sauce and pasta. During lunch we heard a loud noise of cow bells and I ran outside to take a picture of 50 to 60 cows, waltzing down a busy street in the middle of Interlacken. All the diary farmers bring down the cows from the pasture high up in the alps to their stables in the valley, before the first snow. Quit a show for tourists.
Rosie and Donna
She stays all by herself in a nice big appartement
We spent some time with Rosie, then went back to our hideaway in Grindelwald for some drinks and home cooking. We also had to pack some stuff, because we decided to leave the rainy part of Switzerland and visit my older brother Heinz and his wife Lilian in Tessin, the south part of Switzerland, where the weather is warm and sunny.
