Honeymoon: Day 6

We woke up early, packed our stuff and walked to the train station.

It took us a bit of time because on our hike back from the Lake, I hurt my knee and it was not feeling any better!

So I hobbled to the train station....

We took the train from Kandersteg to Lauterbrunnen.  In Lauterbrunnen there is a famous Waterfall: Trummelbach Falls. The Trummelbach drains water from the glaciers from the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau, the 3 famous mountains in the Lauterbrunnen Valley and can produce up to 20,000 liters of water drainage per second!

We took a tour of the waterfall and were just taken aback by how fast the water was coming out and how loud it all was. It was beautiful!






From there we took a lift up to Murren.  We had to take a lift to a train and then take a train up there. It was beautiful. This little town is nestled in the Mountain side where no cars are allowed.  Murren was, by far, our favorite place.



 We made it up to our hotel and then decided to not waste any more daylight and head up to the Schilthorn.  The Schilthorn is basically at the top of the Swiss Alps. It was so beautiful. The Schiltshorn's claim to fame is that a James Bond movie was filmed at the top, Her Majesty's Secret Service. So there was a James Bond Gift Shop up there and a rotating restaurant that allowed for amazing views of the Alps.

We spent a couple of hours up there, eating and enjoyed the view.






We came back down and we went back to the hotel and we were able to witness something so cool!
We were sitting in our room with the window open when all of a sudden we could hear music. We looked outside and we saw a man on the hillside playing the Alphorn! It was sooo awesome!

The pictures aren't the best bc he was far away...

Sorry for the very pixelated image
The video is not the best, I hope you can hear it....


We relaxed a bit more and went for a walk to get some dinner and after dinner coffee.

It was a great day packed with awesome sightseeing!
