Day 8 - from Engstlenalp to Meiringen

I woke up at 6 in the morning again (heheee... and Wolf did not belive that i can be a natural alarm-clock :) 100% organic :) ).
So we woke up, had a breakfast in the company of rich people (who did not stayed in dormitory, but in nice hotel.. :) ).
We ate as much sandwiches as we possibly could and continued our way.
Today was no climbing or gaining altitude - only descent.. all the way to Meiringen.

The path was as usually amazingly beautiful , very peaceful... We just met the same couple few times, and beside them we hardly saw anybody till Reuti..


Before Reuti we saw some garden with sculptures which should captivate the light and be beautiful.. Well, it was beautiful and i would spend a bit more time there, but Wolf was not too much into that.. :)So we continiued our way down, down, down.. soon we finished in Meiringen. Do you know those nice, 100% perfect Swiss small towns? well... that was Meiringen.
Immediately we bought some ice-cream for Wolf (who said that Wolves are not ice-cream addicts? :) )..

In the center we found bigger shop, bought some food for a couple of days, and went to check out the Brunner hotel just across the street. It was advised in our Alpine Pass Route book.
The hotel was nice and they had just for us one small room upstairs for 100 franks per day. The room was nice, we were tired, so we decided to stay.. And as tomorrow is Sunday - we decided to stay even for two days.. :)

The hostess of hotel made as a compliment and said that we look like real travellers.. :) You needed to see the smile on Wolf's happy face after hearing that.. :) Travellers are not the tourists.. I do not know, if we are those or those.. we are just walking through the country.. (so what, if it is small country.. :) ).

From the window we saw some nice snowy peaks..
