Day 8 (October 8, 2008)

Today, we decided to spend a quiet day on a lake steamer on Lake Brienz. The lake has a strong blue/green color from glacier melt and it surrounded by mountains. It was very colorful, because it was the peak of the autum foliage.

The highlight of the day was getting off the boat at the Grand Hotel Giessbach stop, and taking the furnicular from the lake level to the hotel. We ate on the hotel veranda over looking the lake. We also took a small walk to the waterfalls that cascade past the hotel.
