We left for Interlaken on the Golden Pass Panoramic train - one of the 5 panoramic trains in Switzerland.The journey was going to be 3 hrs and the view simply wonderful - llots of greenery , lakes, small typical Swiss chalets/houses with flowers outside every window, mountains with waterfalls from melting snow ,huge pastures, a lot of vineyards and sometimes even Swiss cows. The train has a few stops on the way. All the train stations in Switzerland are small - just one or two platforms.. Only big cities like Zurich, Luzern, Geneva have big stations with many platforms. The Golden Pass train brought us to Interlaken Ost (East) station. Our hotel was close to Interlaken West station which we took a while to find out. We also spent some time at the information booth (only one window :( ) to inquire about Interlaken and make reservations to Jungfraujoch. We then took a bus (no. 1) to Interlaken West station. Our hotel was just opposite hence we didn't have to walk much. Interlaken West is where all the life of the town is. All the hustle bustle of tourists, traffic. All major hotels are situated close to this West station . The station itself is very small just one platform. There are a few buses which leave from outside the station. Infact one doesn't understand what to call inside station and what is to be called outside station . There is no proper demarcation of the station and bus depot. We reached our hotel(Best Western Bernhof) in about 2 mins. Since rooms would be ready only by 2pm we deposited our bags and went to have lunch. After we got our rooms we freshened up and played cards for some time. Then while Aai and Sandeep watched the filming we had already done I went out for a stroll in city. The area we were in had a lot of shops selling the now usual stuff - Swiss cow bells, watches, dolls and chocolates. There were also a number of shops selling local handicrafts--a lot of handmade wooden toys and also cloth handkerchiefs ,tablecloths etc with embroidery on them. One common factor in all items is the flower "Edelweiss" which is either painted or embroidered onto each item. The "Edelweiss" has the status of an unofficial national flower. After coming back to hotel Sandeep and myself again went out strolling towards Interlaken Ost station while Aai- Baba rested at hotel. As we walked towards station we saw a promenade which was lined with flowers all along the way. The promenade also gave a magnificent view of the Junfrau peak. Coming back to hotel we all once again went out for dinner at an Indian restaurant "Spice India". Back to hotel for sleep and rest.
