The Twurps in the Alps

We spent 3 days in the mountain region near to the Alps sight seeing and taking photos. Firstly a lazy day walking around Engleburg which is a 'dead end' as far as a paved road is concerned, at 3000 ft, but then becomes a hiking trial in summer and ski centre in winter. The camp site shares its amenities with a 4 star hotel so it was really nice This is also the place to go to the top of Mt Titlis in a rotating cable car to view the Alps, which Mark and Christina did when they came to Lucerne, but at £60 each was out of our budget. We moved on to a new site at a small place called Meiringen, via Lucerne, to find that it is famous for a couple of things. Meringues (they were named after the town) and a water fall where Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty fell to their deaths in Conan Doyle novel. Quite a few English people here, especially visiting the falls - which we did too on the funicular railway. Finally spent a night at Camping Jungfrau which is about as close as you can get to the really big mountains with a caravan or camper. Unfortunately we had storms the night before and the morning turned wet and overcast, so no mountain views of the Eiger or Jungfrau before we had to leave. The webcams on a TV weather program were showing a grey speckled screen from all the peaks. We were going to take the 'viewing' train to Murren at 6000ft but that was pointless in the rain. Maybe next time - but at least I got a sticker for the van!
