On the 15th of Sep13, we woke up early as usual to have our breakfast in the hotel and quickly set off to the train station. We will be visiting the Jungfraufjou Mountain , at the Top of Europe, 3454 m an 11333 ft. We prepared ourselves with the necessary things like gloves, winter hat, winter jacket, long pants and sunglasses. In order to reach there we have to take a few transfer train . Nowadays it is very convenience for people to travel up to the mountain simply by train, we no longer have to climb mountains. When we arrived at the train station located at the mountain, we were both very excited to see and experience the snow. The temperature outside was about -2 to -3 degree at that time.We took some pictures inside first before going out to the snow as there were some nice decorations around. It was about 9 am plus when we were there as we walked outside to the top to view the beautiful mountain and snow. The mountain was only partially visible to us as it was still very cloudy in the morning and the sun was very glaring. Luckily we both brought our sunglasses and we started to play with the snow and taking pictures.
My first touch of the snow was feels like touching the ice cubes in the freezer or like those ice cubes that we ate in our desserts. This place was a small enclosed area for people to view the mountains. After having some fun, we went on to the ice cubes palace where there were many cute ice cubes sculptures. We have to be very careful and walk slowly as the floor were made of ice cubes and can be slippery if we are not careful. There were also tourists from other countries around taking photos.We took turns to take some pictures with the sculptures as we have to wait for the other tourists to move on before we can have our own pictures taken without them in the background.
After that we went to the other side of the mountain where we could enjoy sitting on the snow in a more open space area but also within a restricted area as we could only see snow and not much of the mountain are visible to us. It was snowing alittle and the temperature was not too cold too with the only basic winter wear we are wearing. The snow was slippery so my husband have to hold my hands to walk in the snow to prevent me from falling. It was really a very enjoyable moments for both of us though some tourists does not seems to be that friendly. As we do not get to see snow in Singapore, we felt like we are a child when we enjoy ourselves in the snow. It was our way to enjoy nature without feeling any restrictions. We tried not to stay close to them as afraid of them pushing and causing injury to the others. Some tourists were not so sensitive to this especially when they travel in groups. We waited for them to leave before we slowly walked back to the indoor area. There was also a place where people could play games in the snow but because i was pregnant, we did not proceed to that place.
After enjoying ourselves in the snow and taking pictures , we were both hungry. We went to look for food at the restaurant there. There was this food stall selling a rather big plate of rice with pork meat for about 20 Euro if i did not remember wrongly. The other stall was selling Indian buffet which looks nice too but was selling at 35 Euro plus , therefore we chose the 1st choice of course as it was not a good idea to eat so full at the top of the mountain. The food taste not bad with a bottle of ice tea and it was very filling for us. By the time we finish our meal it was about 4 pm already. I saw someone vomiting in the toilet and i thought i was lucky as i don't feel any discomfort at all and my baby was resting comfortably inside my tummy. My husband had a slight headache on the train ride up the mountain but was alright after awhile. As we were both tired when we reach the bottom of the mountain, we went back to our hotel to rest as the next day we will be heading to Lucern by train. This time my baby witness the snow in my tummy and when she can walk and run, we will bring her to enjoy the snow herself.
