It’s the Swiss national day, and after four weeks on unbroken sunshine with glorious temperatures and light winds, you would have thought they could enjoy another beautiful day.
But, it hasn’t been, certainly not in Interlaken, and looking at the weather forecast, not anywhere else in the region.
The rain has varied between just about liveable drizzle to the kind of torrential downpours that normally only happen once every few months, not four times in one day.
But, being the hearty Swiss types that they are, they are all out celebrating, and getting damp.
The fireworks start in the centre of Interlaken in about two hours. I’ve already checked. I should be able to get a pretty good view from my room’s balcony, where it is dry, and warm, and not a muddy field.
Still, they all still appear to be happy, if the number of fireworks being set off is anything to go by.
If you didn’t know it was National day, you would swear that civil war had broken out, but then again, this is Switzerland, and they have never had a civil war...
