Day 13: Top of Europe

I woke up to a sunny sky with few clouds so we quickly got dress and spent the day at the highest point in Europe . . . Jungfraujoch. AWESOME! Oh and expensive but so worth it . . . since Colin is only 5, I think of it as a 2-for-1 deal so the price doesn't sound so bad but about $100 to go to the top. When we arrived it was still nice weather; sunny, warm, few clouds but that quickly changed to major cloud coverage but still fun! There was about 5-6 inches of fresh snow from the previous night so Colin had so much fun! I planned ahead and took a change of clothing because I knew he would be wet from head to toe and super cold . . . so smart if I might say so. Anyway, if you are ever in this part of Switzerland, you must go . . . I have a feeling Colin will be talking about it for a long time . . . hey it beats ducks and swans!

Are we there yet? It took over 2 hours to get to the top!


Playing in the snow . . . it really was nice even though we did not have the best snow gear! The disk were actually free . . . you had to give a $5 deposit that was given back when the disk was returned . . . he was zooming down so fast!

Riding with a team of dogs . . . it did cost $5 and we saw where the lived so glad to pay to have them living a nice life and they only 'work' about 3 hours per day and only a couple day each week.

The box at the top center was our final destination . . .

And one parting shot . . .
