Following local girl Diana Rigg's footsteps [she's from Doncaster down the road!],
a couple of summer's ago we went on a mission to Switzerland.
Not on her Majesty's Secret Service but on British Airways and Swiss Rail.
We bought a licence to thrill and visited Bond World on this beautiful peak known as the Shilthorn [not my picture - too good - its a swiss tourist board snap]
Where a cluster of buildings clasp the summit, the Piz Gloria.
There are murals
shops
and the famous revolving restaurant seen in the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
You could get a 007 martini
or eat something
using the cutlery promoting the exhibition hall, Bond World
or you could just chill with a Coupe Diana Rigg ice cream
We had the soup
and entered the spectacular exhibition of Bond World.
before heading home on the multi-staged journey back down and to the first cable car station
and eventually to the distant mountain town of Wengen where we were staying and had set off from that morning.
It had cost an Agent's ransom but we had certainly been thrilled.
006.5 out.
