Nadine It's complicated. There were many unknowns in the plan for today including both our lodging and even our destination. We have done three consecutive days of significant climbs and I had had about enough. Mark’s knee was also stiff from a minor strain and little sleep last night. So we decided to skip today’s …

Jakobsweg Day60 Mürren-Bundalp 8.42mi 3743ft ascent
Today was challenging to say the least.. Those 3743 feet of ascent were all real and included a challenging descent as well. We are tired. Morning I’m not sure what we can upload tonight due to poor wifi but we will try to catch up again tomorrow if possible. We packed up our damp tents …

Jakobsweg Day59 Grindelwald-Mürren+ 16.34mi, 3609ft
Short update today because we are wild camping with no wifi nor electricity. We are well. Our 16.3mi with 3600+ ascent sounds like quite a feet, but honestly it included 2200 of a cable car ride so let’s just subtract that off and make it a 1409ft ascent. That’s all we can say. Descending from …

Jakobsweg Day56 Grosse Scheidegg-Grindelwald 5.1mi (39.4ft ascent) 704.7 Total
We woke in our tents to the pattering of rain so we knew today was going to be a less-than-ideal start. It’s no fun packing up wet tents in the rain. Also, neither Allison nor I slept well since our stomachs were feeling off. We were not in a rush since our bus back up …

Jakobsweg Day55 Meiringen-Grosse Scheidegg 9.63mi (4482ft ascent)!
“Good morning pilgrims” is a phrase you’ve likely heard us say most mornings as we do our morning update. This is because in many ways we count you as pilgrims with us on this journey. But today, more than ever, I wish you all could have been with us in person. Today’s walk was superb …

Jakobsweg Day54 Giswil-Meiringen 14.1mi (2350ft ascent)
Leaving our nice Pilgrim Herberge this morning was bittersweet. The hosts had been so kind to us letting us use their oven and clothes washing machine and being available for us. The Herberge in Giswil is highly recommended. We also said goodbye to Otto with whom we’ve been traveling for a few days now. We …
