The funicular

We woke up and thought it was 8 am but it was only 6!  Breakfast was served at 7:30.  It was a cold buffet consisting of fresh breads, cheeses, ham or smoked bacon, bircher muesli (oats with fruits, yogurt, nuts, seeds, juice, and milk-all mixed together), hard boiled eggs (colored red), jams, yogurt, chocolate in hot milk, juices, and a bunch more that I can't remember.  It was amazing!  We had chosen a hike for the day and were excited to start.  We wanted to take the funicular (a train that climbs a steep slope) up the mountain to begin.  Here is the train from our balcony and a few more from our ride.

It was a cool way to get to the top of the slope and look down on the village of Murren.
