Mountain Biking

We spent the day biking down the mountain. Sort of.
We rented bikes in Murren and then coasted down the mountain to the valley. We basically rode the brake for 90 minutes. The grade going down is very steep, and winds down switching back and forth, back and forth. The views were good, but dare-devil biking was interesting. Lyla asked numerous time if my life insurance was paid up.
At the bottom of the valley is a town called Lauterbrunnen. It is the last town in the valley that cars can get to, so it is popular for that reason, along with the fact that it has great views on each side of the valley. Its a great place to people watch and get the flat tire on your bike fixed.
We went to the Trummelbach Falls which is snow melt from several of the mountains.It is actually 10 water falls inside a mountain. We've never seen anything quite like it. You can not really take pictures of it, but we tried.
Tonight we had dinner at a local restaurant. There are several Japenese groups in town right now, and 2 of them enjoyed Fondue
in the place we were eating at.
We are getting to recognize people that are staying in Murren, and that's kind of fun.
