Our next destination for visiting friends was Interlaken, John’s first missionary area 50 years ago. While we had daylight, we decided to drive first to Iseltwalt, the little town on the Brienzer See (beyond Interlaken) to where Crash Landing on You was filmed (the scene with the piano on the pier on the lake).
There were a couple of buses of Asian tourists coming and going. The sun was low in the sky and it was beautiful. We walked a bit along the waterway. You could walk out onto the pier for 5 francs. We were fine seeing it without paying to walk on it. It was really a beautiful sleepy little town.
We walked through town a bit, and along the lake shore.
Then we took an old road along the lake to drive back to Interlaken. Almost all the traffic takes the freeway up above, so we had the little road to ourselves. There were quaint little Alpen Hüte along the way and older homes and the road wasn’t quite wide enough for 2 cars to pass. The views from the lake were spectacular.
