A Trip to Switzerland_Day 3

Interlaken


5 Aug. 2009
On the third morning in Switzerland, we started a trip early. I had a hangover a bit, but I could manage it. Yongmin told me that he suffered alot last night at the bar because of me. Sorry for Yongmin, I didn't remember something bad yesterday. From a hotel it took 20 minutes to Interlaken Ost station. we took a mountain climing train togo to the top of the Alps mountain, "Kleine Scheidegg" for 2 hours.





In Kleine Scheidegg, we had short time to change a train named JB. It was a short time, but it was enough for us to realize that we are in the middle of the famous Alps.






It took 2 hours to go to River Jungfrau. From there we went to complex facilities called Top of the Europe. The place had an observation platform to see the view of Alps. Luckily, weather was clear enough to see the beautiful houses, permanent snow and glacier. They were just like a picture in a postcard or Christmas card.
Around 3 p.m., we went back to Kleine Scheidegg. Then, Yongmin and Eunjee went skiing, and Suming and I went sledding for an hour and a half. It was wonderful to see the snow in the middle of summer and to see the picturesque scenery.


We took a final train going back to Interlaken Ost staion. I was too tired to go outside in the evening. Unfortunately, when we came down, I didn't feel good since I didn't have warm enough outwear and I drank a lot last night. I also wanted go to 'Wilhelm Tell Festival', but I decided to take a rest for tomorrow rather going the festival.
