Sunday 6 [6 July 1902] which took me to Berne [Bern] where I had an hour to reregister my luggage and lunch. Crowded train to Lucerne [Luzern] and very hot. Had just time to catch the Meiringen train and by dint of paying an extra 2 frcs had a 1st class compartment all to myself. Heavenly journey over the Br¸nig line. The woods full of spiraea. Got to Meiringen at 7. Ulrich and Heinrich Fuhrer met me. Slept at the Bear.
