A Walk UP to Wengen- Wed

Wed 1st Sept 2014
First picture of the day is me going to the shower block in my onesie!! Very cold in the mornings here as we are in valley. Made some soup for the flask and packed a picnic then walked to Lautenbrunnen. On the way we met 2 more Aussie Base Jumpers who we had just  seen jump and land! One was born and raised in Mullaloo WA and now lives in Scarborough! We followed the track up up and up to Wengen. It was a great walk but steeper and harder than we were expecting. Our legs muscles are certainly hardening up! At one point we had to stop on the narrow track to let a farmer and his herd of cows pass. Wengen is a beautiful town with limited vehicles. Had our picnic with another stunning view looking down over the Lautenbrunnen Valley - we could not believe how high we had climbed! Walked around Wengen before getting the train back down into Lautenbrunnen. Headed back to Priscilla via The Horner pub to use the wifi and have a much deserved beer. Met 2 Aussie couples from Sydney who were on a 5 week tour of Europe - they could not believe we had been away for 10months! Saw another 4 Base jumpers land before our eyes then back at Priscilla I cooked dinner and we enjoyed a few drinks while discussing a another great day.
