A surprisingly good breakfast at the hostel jump started our day as we had some ground to cover. Very warm and humid to start which was not a good sign. Went a bit uphill before we started a steep wooded descent. Had an interesting encounter when we had to go through a farm when a bull decided we weren't welcome. We stood behind a rock and waited for him to move. When he finally did we thought we could walk toward the gate but the bull decided he would chase us. Well Ed thought we were clear, but I knew a young Brown Swiss bull might not just let us through so I kept checking behind and he started for us right as we were going by a barn and I saw a shovel and grabbed it and told Ed to run and open the gate and we made it out safely. Then during our lunch break we had a swarm of mosquitos show up so we packed it up and marched on a while before finding a new spot. We spent much of the day hiking up and down along the Lake Brienz on a clear and unusually hot day. We crossed a temporary 80 meter long suspension bridge, which I thought a bit scary and Ed loved it. Our last encounter was with a dog who looked fine until we started to pass and then he began his growling and so I found a rock and threw it at him which helped for a moment and finally his owner saw and called him off.
We thought the afternoon was long but we finally made it to our hostel around 4pm.
We found a very good dinner at a reasonable price. Food is very expensive here and meat most expensive. Cheese, which we eat a lot of, is a good price and very delicious. After dinner we found some chocolate to finish our day.
It may be a few days before our next post as we are not sure about wifi the next three days.
