I was in bed four at the Alplodge hostel. A woman from Myanmar who lived in the UK was in bed three. She was travelling alone too and had missed a train in Switzerland, which threw off her plans.
The night before I came back to sleep, the next morning I left early so I can't talk anymore, I haven't followed instagram to wait anymore:D I finish my personal hygiene, leave the room card at the reception desk and leave.
I went to the ticket office in Interlaken West that morning to ask for a ticket to Frankfurt. Emailed that the train was redirected and that his original ticket was no longer available, asked the staff to confirm the new schedule. I asked someone to choose a new ticket but the lady said she could choose her own train, and in case of a ticket check, she could just give me her email. Luckily, on the DB Navigator app - the booking app of Germany says that the IC60402 train does not go through Basel so it does not book tickets, when you go through Switzerland, you switch to using SBB - the booking application of Switzerland, because the ticket to Frankfurt is cheap so you buy it, still the IC6102 train.
Since I’d already paid and the train was cancelled or delayed, I was allowed to take another one as long as I started at Interlaken Ost and finished in Frankfurt. My ticket had cost CHF 38, around 1.1 million đồng, and I could take a train that normally cost several million.
Buy a bus + train ticket to Lauterbrunnen, because I subjectively got on the wrong bus, went in the opposite direction 1.5 km so walk back to the point of origin, but no problem Unterseen part nice photo.
There was no way I was getting on the wrong bus a second time :D When I arrived, I bought something ready to eat for lunch at the convenience store by the exit. A cooked meal cost too much. I bought a box of chicken curry rice, got a few spoons of rice with some meat that cost me over 220k, I asked for a spoon, they refused, they said I had to pay cash. I gave 20 euro, the cashier said I exchanged 17 CHF, plastic spoon priced 0.2 CHF (almost 7k): D but it was great, I took it back to Vietnam as a souvenir.
I don't know how to use it so I sit down at the table and read the instructions, then I go back to the cashier and ask for the heat, the two women looked annoyed:))) They said they had to ask someone else to help them find other convenience stores.
I’d originally booked a room in Grindelwald with free cancellation until 28 or 29 April. Then I found a room in Lauterbrunnen for almost half the price and changed the whole itinerary.
On Booking.com registered room after 4 pm so I came early to ask to send backpack, to where she asked not to find the name, then I noticed the word self-check in, receive the room and put backpack to go on.
View from the hostel's dining room, walk around looking for the kitchen, and there's a cooking area, there's microwave, there'd be a turntable, there're iron spoons, plates,... cost 0.2 CHF to buy plastic spoons.

I walked around the village and found a famous photo spot in Lauterbrunnen, and I saw people print this whole picture to sell as a magnet.
I walked to the train station, saw a ticket machine, so I tried to buy a paper ticket: D
Now, on the train to Wengen, I was looking at the scenery, and you checked the ticket, took the ticket in your hand, scanned the QR code and clicked the round hole.
I walked around Wengen. I have plenty more photos, but it was even more beautiful in person 😎
I'm bored because my Osmo Pocket 3 is telling me that the memory card isn't working, so I'm going out for a week.
But I can't believe it's really broken, waiting for the train to Murren somehow to come back alive:D
Take the train back to Lauterbrunnen, take the cable car and then take the train to Murren.
I walked around the village again, not in a hurry, still early, and I got to my room at 7:30, it was still sunny.
