Switzerland - A little piece of Paradise!

We lucked in!! I asked my sister, Kay and son Lee and his girlfriend Alida for recommendations of places to stay in Switzerland. They all said to try to avoid Interlaken as is very commercialized, busy and expensive. I took notes and when Lill and I started searching for spots outside of town, we came across the town of Lauterbrunnen. I double checked with Kay and sure enough, this is the place that she and Ed really liked and that Lee and Alida stayed in as well. So, we checked around in good Scottish/Canadian fashion (cheapest place first) and came across the Hotel Staubbach. It is only ranked as a 2 star and the only room available was in the attic. Well, why not? So we took the chance, 6 hours of train rides, three connections and we finally got here. With a bit of trepidation we walked through the town until we got the Hotel Staubback. Fantastic staff at the front desk (both girls were from Australia and had been here for years). We got the key to the room, walked up a very narrow staircase to the attic, opened the door and WOW!!!

(Note the little chocolates on the comforters!)
These are the pictures of our room and the view out the windows! What a little, peaceful, quiet piece of paradise. After all the months of packing, moving, hustling, planes, trains, u-hauls, automobiles, busses....... WOW! I will send more pictures tomorrow. This place is really sweet!
