Lake Brienz

This photo is special for two reasons:

1) I took it on our honeymoon from a steam train going up a mountain. It was a perfect day. We were staying in Interlaken and took the ferry across Lake Brienz, then the train up to the top of the Rothorn. It felt like summer on the lake, but there was a good 6 inches of snow at the top. I was NOT dressed or shod for snow - it became interesting trying to get to the cafe. The trains were so cool. Look! (you might need to choose English)

2) It is Chalet School country. The later Chalet school books were set around Interlaken - couldn't quite work out where, but the ambience is there. I spent most of my childhood reading the Chalet School books and always wanted to go there.
