Day 9 - just Meiringen

Today is the rest day! :)

So today we are staying at Meiringen.. in a nice Brunner hotel with backery and confectionary downstairs..

Today is the rest day..
which is not the reason not to wake up at 6 again... well... somehow i managed to sleep till 7.. :)
Waking up Wolf..

Nicest breakfast in whole Switzerland! We decided to give up the "Best Breakfast Oscar" to Brunner hotel in Meiringen. When visiting this nice town, please, stay overnight there, enjoy Toblerone chocolate waiting for you on your pillow and freshly backed bread at breakfast.. :)
it was very personal and warmest place.. :)

After breakfast i felt like doing nothing and Wolf felt like doing geocaching.
So... we went geocaching.. The cache should have been somewhere near Meiring - just couple of kilometers away.. As you can imagine, in the Alpes, couple of kilometers can mean something completely different, than couple of kilometers in somewhere plain Saaremaa...
All this way up was too much for me on the rest day.. So Wolf went alone and had some Indiana Jones adventures in the caves..
As for me.. I went back to the hotel, put my swimming suit on and went to the Meiringens open air swimming pool... God.. i loved it! :)
Sun is shining, around are beautiful mountains with waterfalls, paragliders flying in the sky, warm, blue water.. it was just soooo nice.. :)
I swam about an hour or so, lied on the grass for 15 minutes, bought vanilla ice-cream with white chocolate and walked back to the hotel.
There was Wolf, who did not find a geocache, but who was anyway very happy about his adventures.

After some rest we went to look for Sherlock Holmes museum, but it did not looked so attractive, so we did not went inside... (all Meiringen is about Sherlock Holmes actually ;) )

We played those huge chess outside in the yard.. Wolf won in ten moves.. :) well.. it would be strange if it would be the other way around.. :)

After that we made a window shopping, it was Sunday and everything was closed.. We even had big troubles of finding ice-cream for Wolf.. After some intense searching we found some ice-cream :)

We had a lunch and spend very nice, quite evening... ;)
