Wed 30. [30 July 1902] Off at 6 and coached up to Grimsel. Most
lovely day. Nice little American couple with me and a Mr Colin
Campbell AC in the coach. Reached Grimsel at 12 lunched and slept
and started off at 2.30 for the Dollfuss. Walked up slowly. The Alp
most exquisite - a paradise of Soldanella, pale sweet violet, the tiny
azalea etc. Sat out till 7 when the sun set behind the Schreckhorn.
We were quite alone. Slept sound.
