Day 11 - from Grinewald to Wengen

Today was windy day (and also rainy every now and then), we took the "wrong" (well at least it was very scenic) path towards the Kleine Scheudegg, what made our trekking day last couple of hours longer - and it also raised emotions in some people.
Instead of direct route to pass, we took Eiger trail (it was at 2 520 meters, or something like that).
It started to rain heavily at some point and we took train from Wengeralp to Wengen, thus saving our poor feet a bit (one hour of walking down).

In Wengen (which is supposedely most beautiful spot in Europe, you can see Jungfrau and other peaks.. but we did not see that much of scenery, as weather condition were not ideal..) we made our usual visit to supermarket and looked for our lodge (we got leaflet from Grinewald), after finding it (very nice place. by the way... they have kitchen, dining room and small library with sofas for the guests..)

We ate our dinner at the kitchen, then Enkeli stayed downstairs watching some russian movie she had found (it was VERY nice movie, by the way.. every second of it.. :) ) I went out to search for geocache. Managed to locate the place where it must be hidden, but GPS connection was so poor, that i gave up the search after some time.

When I got back to our lodge Enkeli was still absorbed by the movie, so i went to our dormitory room to study our trek. Two japanese guys showed up, they are sharing this room with us.

Enkeli also joined me and is now lieing next to me and talking to me while i try to write. I need to remind her, that I am the man and I cannot do two things at the same time :)

I am very tired and cannot think of much of details now, so it is time to get some sleep and let Enkeli continue the diary next time.

update from Enkeli:
the trekking path today was may be couple of hours longer than expected, and may be i got a bit emotional about it, but it does not mean, that i was not enjoying every moment of it.. :) especially now, when i think back.. It was beautiful... and thanks to the Wolf, that we took that path.. not direct one.. :)
Trek was full of challenges for me and I am glad I did that... :)
