Day 38 - Grindelwald (the last walk)

Ok today we went for a 6 hour walk across the north face of the Eiger. We woke up at 6:30 and left at 7:50 but didn't start the walk until 9:30 because we had to wait for the stick shop to open (walking sticks that we were hiring). Took cable car up to a high point. Section one of our walk was decently flat and we had a great view of the mountains as we walked towards them. Section two began after morning tea and we saw a memorial to all the dead climbers. also we saw some water foot massagey thingys. This part of the walk was very steep and finished when we had lunch. Section three was the actual walk across the bottom of the north face of the Eiger. It was very speccy and we saw many.... Wait for it..... Rocks!!!!!! Yay ha kidding! Also on this part we saw a base jumper glide out from the cliff and then activate his parachute. It was very cool! Section four of the walk started at afternoon tea and this part was downhill and some of the footing was rather precarious... Mummy injured her ankle and knees but of course she didn't say anything. We caught the train back down and then collapsed... Again. 

Goodnight
