Switzerland 4 May 2007


View Contiki camping tour on poppies's travel map.

Yes, this is the day that i have been waiting for! We are going up the alps, the top of Europe! We will be taking a train on the highest cog railway in the world up the Jungfrau mountain which rises to 4158m. We could see the north face of Eiger mountain from the glass window at one of the stops. Amazing view. The best is yet to come. The journey ends at Jungfraujoch, 3454m where we can alight to view the ice palace and a viewing tower to view Monch, 4107m. You could even ski if weather permits. It had cost me SGD150 to get up on that train and any luxury activity is a no no for me. This is our first time seeing and touching snow. That moment was simply incredible! After 2 hrs, it started snowing heavily. i was blinded by the view presented in front of me. it's all white! Since this is our first time in touch with snow, we do silly things like lying flat on the snow and washing our face with it. crazy but funny! we tried to build a snowman but failed. it's too cold. that is like -5 degree but that doesn't dampened our spirit. We had a good time here and definitely we will be back for more.
