Day 10 - Interlaken

(written by Lyn)

After doing a few bits and pieces in town in the morning we headed up the steep drive to the town where the Gondola would take us up to our hotel on the Alps.

Earlier in our trip I'd said to Craig "wouldn't it be cool if God could organize for u's, a log cabin on a mountain with snow all around" thinking about that being in Cortina.

As we got to the to of the gondola I remembered my conversation with Craig about the cabin on a hill.

The view was sensational!!!! Like nothing I'd ever seen before!! This was obviously a popular place with a few hundred people mulling and chatting in the sun on the deck infront of the snowladened view.

Our room was flash and had the best view of the whole place, thankyou Romy!! but that was nothing compared to what was about to happen!!!

As 5pm came more and more people left for the day. On coming back from a short walk up to a viewing platform Craig whispered to me "I think we are the only people left here!!" No Way!! Surely not!! Then a lady came out to introduce herself "hi! I'm Manwella, I'll be your chef for the night, is there anything special you'd like me to make for you?" She answered our question, We were infact the only ones here and had our own personal chef??? This is crazy, can our honeymoon get any better????

We asked Manwella for a traditional Swiss fondue which we hadn't tried yet and while we waited she organized two deckchairs, sheepskins, blankets, candle, and a glass of wine each for u's to sit on the deck and finish watching the sun go down behind the majestic Swiss alps from a height of 6000ft and -5 degree temp. Simply stunning!!!
We snapped continueous photos, even catching two satellites on film.

As we went inside our night was to get even better!!! Manwella had done out the whole restaurant for u's with romantic candles burning not just on our table but everywhere!!! It was the coolest night ever on top of the world!!!
