Berner Oberland Grindelwald and Lenk, Switzerland in 2021

I think the French are not happy with Brexit, and I don’t blame them. Because of Brexit it is a lot more complicated crossing the borders. They probably had to increase their staff at the border.

Brits now are under the same visitor restrictions as Americans - 90 days allowed in the EU out of 180 days.

I have some notes about Lenk:
