Day 15 (October 15, 2008)

In order to make our flight we had to get up at 5AM in order to be at the Nydegg Bridge in time to catch the first bus of the day. Then we had to run through the Bern train station with all our bags with only 5 minutes to catch the 6:02AM train to the Zurich Airport. After a week of hiking, our huffing and puffing was at a minimum as we jumped on the train just in time for the doors to close just behind us. The Swiss train and bus schedule is precise enough that you can be pretty confident making plans with zero margin for error.

We had a quick breakfast at the airport, and got on a bus that took us out to the CityJet Avro RJ85. It was a nice flight to Paris. Then it was lunch in Paris, followed by dinner in New Jersey.
