GRINDELWALD 2013 Final countdown

                           Friday, Sept 27.  I woke up at 4 am, washed up and had some coffee, so did Tony and Amy. We had to leave the house by 4:45 to catch the train in Interlaken by 5:30 am. It was dark and the street where deserted that early in the morning  and it took us only 25 minutes to get to the station. We arrived over a half hour early.
                            While Tony and Amy boarded the train to the airport to fly home to Florida, I drove back to the house in Grindelwald.  Donna was still asleep and I surprised her with a good breakfast. Afterward we went to town for some more shopping and a light lunch at the "Sportpub". A restaurant with the view at a Ice field where they played hockey and on the other side a swimming pool with a water slide. As always we had some delicious food.

Some more shopping.

                             We also decided to use our bahn pass the rest of the day, because they expire today. Just traveling around and admiring the view, we took the train to Zweilutschinen, Lauterbrunnen to Wengen, from there with the big gondola to the Mannlichen and with the small gondolas back to Grindelwald.

The restaurant's owner donkeys, we enjoyed watching them play. You can observe them from the restaurant's window.

                              At the restaurant Grund tonight we were asked from everybody  of the whereabouts of our friends Tony and Amy, they were already missed.
                              We went ahead and had a great meal again. I know I will miss the atmosphere, service and food until we may visit again in the near future.
