Interlaken




We left Como around 9am but discovered the GPS wasn’t working for some reason, so managed to navigate by notes I had fortunately prepared earlier! We drove into Switzerland, around the lakes and through the mountains, very scenic but the skies still a bit hazy. We drove through a 17km tunnel and when we came out the otherside there were beautiful blue skies. We drove over the mountains to Interlaken getting up to about 3000 metres, it was a beautiful drive, our little Fiat Panda chugged along, not much power but did the job. We passed a few cyclists riding up, not all of them had helmets, and most of them seemed old with pot bellies so nothing too much to get excited about!
Once we found our hotel, we went for a wander, loved the colour of the lakes and rivers, a lovely cool icy blue. I took a funicular up the Harder Kulm and enjoyed a spectacular view of Interlaken and the mountains.
