Our World Tuesday

Once again we are in Rosenlaui, Switzerland, but this time we are going to follow the sign pointing to Rosenlaui Falls.

We are hiking up a mountain side along side the beautiful stream that becomes increasingly more steep as we go.

There is always time to stop and get a picture of good friends ...

The higher we get, the more dramatic the falls become ...

And suddenly we found ourselves in a tunnel ... (some of you might recognize this picture).

And, as we exit the tunnel we are in a steep sided canyon that has been carved out by the stream we are following.  If you look closely on the right side about half way up, you can see a fence along the path we will be following ...

This is looking back ...

Looking forward ...

And here I am looking straight up at the little bit of an opening above ... claustrophobic anyone?

Gradually it starts to open up ...

 Until we come to an opening at the top and a beautiful garden of Cairns (rock trail markers built by people who have been here before us)

Barb and I attempted one, but found it to be much more difficult than it looked and as our guides were moving on without us, we gave up on it :)

Now the trail led us back down the mountain side ...

It was a memorable experience ... one that, once again, we have our wonderful Swiss friends to thank for.

"Oh it's such a perfect day

         I'm glad I spent it with you ..."  

A 10 kilometer hike in the mountains  ... Beautiful skies, wildflowers everywhere, cow bells ringing their tunes, a snack by a little lake (fresh bread and Nutella :) ... but, best of all, a good friend by my side ...
