A drive from Emmetten to Interlaken, stop for lunch, and to load up on Laderach (best chocolate ever), and we arrived at our lovely hotel in Kandersteg, a bucolic Swiss Alps town in a valley surrounded by mountains. On our first full day in town, we took the cable car up to Oeschinen Lake, a beautiful Alpine lake surrounded by cliffs and waterfalls.
And lots of cows with bells
We rented a rowboat and did a grand tour of the waterfalls.

The good news is that the heat wave had broken by the time we got down from Kandersteg, so our non-A/C room was just fine. This hotel tends to be booked by Chinese tour busses, which arrive in the afternoon, and depart in the morning. The main issue there is their Internet service can't handle the peak load, and it crashes and burns... so I was off-grid for most of the time we stayed there.
So... we schmeid around Bonn for a day, then did a day-trip to Vevey, which is a lovely town on Lake Geneva. Then next day, we went back to Zurich to
- resupply the Chocolate (Laderach)
- Catch our train back to Munich
