Nov 5 - Interlaken, Switzerland

After breakfast, Mr. Agostini left for work. I followed right afterward. Cycled to Interlaken along the Brienzer See, stopping only to put on my thick wool socks as a replacement for gloves. Heavy clouds obscured everything. It didn't rain but the mist was heavy. Went to the Drei Schewizer Hotel. Had a big lunch of soup, french fries, steak, broccoli, pudding and beer on the house, since the owner is hosting me. Tonight, went out for a beer with the Italian waiter. Bought a new ski jacket.

Nov 4 - Meiringen, Switzerland

After breakfast I left in a cool downpour, cycled along the lake and then south to Giswil by the Sarner See. Through the mist and fog I could see the silhouette of giant mountains. Got the noon train up to Brunig, where I got off and coasted, freezing, to the Agostini residence in Meiringen. Had lunch and read that afternoon. After dinner he fixed me up with an address in Interlaken. I pray the clouds lift so I can see the Eiger, Monch, and Jungrau peaks.
