Swiss Alps - Day 9 - Headed for the city

Our last day in the Swiss Alps revealed clear skies... pretty nice after an evening of fog and rain the night before.  We were headed down out of the mountains for Murren and got one last look at the Alpine Cows as we headed down


Once we reached Murren, we decided to go out with a bang and ride the tram system up to the top of the Schilthorn a nearly 10,000 foot mountain with a revolving restaurant and skydeck on top for one last view of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau.


The revolving restaurant (called Piz Gloria) is famous for being in a 1960s James Bond movie.  There was a lot of James Bond stuff all over and I took this pretty seriously.


We had a great lunch-with-a-view in the revolving restaurant and reluctantly headed back down to Murren...


And after a small army of trains, eventually made it to Bern where we've been the last day or so.  Quite a change in scenery for one day!
