I got a late start this morning and slept in until after 8:00pm. It was raining fairly vigorously, so didn’t seem like there was any rush to get out. Luckily the rain was variable, so I decided to try a hike. Took the train down to Lauterbrunnen then the lift to Grustchalp. It started raining again, so had a coffee and waited for it to blow over. It abated to some degree and I was able to do the hour and 20 minute walk to Murren without getting too soaked, although rain gear and an umbrella came in handy. Great views through the clouds. Had an excellent mixed salad with chanterelles and bacon for lunch as well as bowl of pumpkin soup. Then down to Lauterbrunnen and a walk over to Staubbach falls, one of the dramatic waterfalls in the valley. The steep trail up leads you behind the waterfall.
