Magnificent as this fall certainly is, I must confess I was disappointed in it.

I had raised my ideas too high.
We followed the Rhine downward about eight leagues from Schaffhausen, where we crossed it, and proceeded by Baden to Lucerne.

I am at this present moment (14th September) writing at a small village on the road from Grindelwald to Lauterbrunnen.

By consulting your maps, you will find these villages in the south-east part of the canton of Berne, not far from the lakes of Thun and Brientz.

After viewing the valley of Lauterbrunnen, we shall have concluded our tour of the more Alpine part of Switzerland.
