Lovely to have Jess crawl into bed with me this morning. She prepared the veggies for the soup while I had a shower and hair wash. We packed our picnic and set off on our walk to Lautenbrunnen to catch the cable car up to Grutschalp. First we stopped at the Air Time cafe to use the wifi and book paragliding for the 3 of us! Oh what a shame! The wind wasn't right and won't be for the next few days! We spoke to Maddy (the only girl Base Jumper we have met - from Melbourne) and she had just broken her arm on ....... Would you believe a child's swing!!! Up on the cable car we went and what a great view again from the top. We walked then to Mürren along the cliff top above the Lautenbrunnen valley. Jess had done this walk before in March this year and she showed us photos when it was in the snow (see pic). The picture with David pointing across the valley is where we had had our picnic lunch stop last week when we walked from Wengernalp. Had our picnic then when we arrived in Mürren we showed Jess the Base Jump ledge we had found before and would u believe Steve & Liam were there doing their last jump (no we're not stalking them!) before they leave for Bulgaria tomorrow. We stood on the edge again and watched as they jumped !!!! Jess couldn't believe what she was seeing either!!!!!! We were going to get the cable car down but decided to walk! It was a very steep descent but pretty. Very glad we did it even though it was a tough walk. Jess did very well and had no problem keeping up with us hardened walkers!!!! By the time we arrived back at Priscilla it was dark and we had been walking for 7 hours!!!! Exhausted we all were. Cooked a meal then we all fell into bed- another great day.
