Trip to Wengen, Switzerland - Day 2 Walk from Mannlichen to Kleine Scheidegg

Day 2 - The first few shots here are around our hotel room.

The morning after we  arrived and after a superb breakfast we travelled up the mounting by cable car to Mannlichen. From here we walked to Kleine Scheidegg. It took us quite a few hours to do this walk as we where stopping and photographing alpine flowers and landscaped. It was from this walk I got my first view of the Eiger, not the tallest mounting but one of the most difficult to climb.

Trip to Wengen, Switzerland - Day 1, Travel

Day 1 - Back at the start of July Sue and I joined 10 other people from the Cambridge Camera Club on a trip to Wengen in Switzerland. We were away for 7 days. Our flight from Luton was very early in the morning so a few of us travelled the night before and stayed in a Holiday Inn. The flight was at 07:00 so we arrived at the airport at 05:00. We flew to Geneva where we caught the first of four trains. We eventually arrived in Wengen at about 17:00. Whilst we were on the train I decided to play around with shooting with a slow shutter speed out of the window.
