Last night\u2019s BBQ with the Kiwis came to an abrupt end when an old lady limped over to our gathering and told us in no uncertain terms we were too noisy. She was wearing some sort of complicated leg brace which had us all feeling a little intimidated. She hobbled away as we all looked at each other thinking 18 minutes passed 8 pm must be late in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another clear cool morning greets us. Our plan today is to catch a bus to the Firstbahn terminal and take that gondola to the top and do some exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The free bus has at the Firstbahn terminal in 10 minutes. Our 3 day pass includes travel on the Firstbahn. It\u2019s an old gondola holding only 6 people. It\u2019s a long 25 minute ride to First. The perspex screens are very scratched so no chance of a great photo going up, but once where there there\u2019s plenty of great scenery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before walking up the hill we do the \u2018Cliff Walk\u2019, probably not good if you have a thing for heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the cliff walk there is a viewing platform that hangs over the cliff, so we join the queue. Thirty minutes later, after watching self obsessed people, touch up their makeup and brushing their hair before taking 50 photos of themselves we take a quick video and ask the guy behind us to take a photo, pictured below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
