Today we went up the mountain to the highest railway in Europe - Jungfraujoch. It was an amazing experience and totally worth the A$311 it cost for BJ and I. The kids luckily were covered by the family card we got along with our Swiss Rail Pass. It is a shame the Swiss Pass doesn't cover the mountain cog rail trains, since a 4 day Swiss Pass for just BJ & I set us back over $1000. Switzerland is definitely not cheap! As a way of trying to save some $ here we went to the grocery store and aren't eating out at all - except for up the mountain where we had a hot chocolate each and 2 bowls of chips - to the grand total of A$46.... a lot of $$ but after being out on the snow we just had to have something warm to heat us up!
Here are some pictures - first up pics of our chalet. It is amazing with 4 double bedrooms, 1 has an ensuite, and the other 3 have private balconies, and a fully integrated kitchen with the best mod cons ever... I would love to move into this exact place lol - with one more living room I think!..
Tomorrow we are catching the cable car from Wengen - Mannlichen, and then going to hike to Klein Scheidegg, and either hike back to Mannlichen to get the cable car back (most likely), or catch the train back from Klein Scheidegg. I am really looking forward to that... Now I am off for a run around the village which should be lovely.
