We woke up to eat breakfast downstairs. They had bread, hard croissants, cereal, the best local yogurt ever, Nutella, sandwich meat and cheese. The yogurt was seriously the best ever!!
We walked to the train station and started our trek to the top of Europe Jungfraujoch. The first was a train to interlaken ost. Then we had to change to get the next one to grinderwald. Next we had to change trains again to get towards the top of the mountain. Changed trains AGAIN, but before we did, we got a beer and some hashbrowns. This was our final train up to the top.
The train ride up was amazing. The views of the town and the mountains were something I will never forget. Just gorgeous!!! I can't believe how much the roofs can hold. The snow on them were at least a few feet high!!
When we arrived, there was an hour tour to walk. The sphinx, LOOK UP SECOND ONE, and then Jungfraujoch. The first was a little look out where you could go outside. It was snowing! Then you went to another and it had one of the coolest snow globes ever. It was huge and made out of wood. The Swiss are known for their wood making skills also. It also showed a memorial of the people who passed away while making all the train tunnels in the beginning of the 1900's. Lastly, we went through the ice palace. It was super awesome. Everything was ice including the floor! There were ice sculptures and a tunnel. I was glad when we got out of though cus it was getting quiet cold!
Finally we went outside another time which was where we had a snow fight. It was still snowing so we played around throwing it. I didn't know that with it so fresh you couldn't make snowballs!
We went down the mountain and ate at a restaurant right at the station in grindlewald. The soup was delicious. It was a Swiss kind. Kind of like a potato and split pea. We also tried a cheese pasta with bacon and a few potatoes in it. It was just as good as the kasespatzle from germany! I had the hash browns with bacon. It also has a fried egg on top. Also had some ice cream, of course :)
Got the train back to interlaken west and packed up our stuff!
