Woke up today for breakfast before walking to the train station through Lauterbrunnen so we could catch it to Jungfrau which is the mountain at the top of Europe in the Swiss Alps. It was a long train ride up but we had a few photo stops on the way which was good. Once at the top we first went out to the very top part of the mountain to have a look. It was such a nice view and wasn't even too cold as it wasn't very windy. It was slippery though and I fell over twice in a row. We went from there down to the ice caves which were awesome and they had ice sculptures as well. Was very pretty in there. We came outside to another summit to have a look before heading back down towards the snow sport area. We were told it was closed for the day but found out later it wasn't. We sat near a little bar in canvas chairs and had our packed lunch before deciding not to walk over to the toboggan area to check if it was open. We went to catch the train back down then. Was such a long ride down and was pretty hot in the train because of the heater. It took a couple of hours to get from top to bottom. Once at the bottom I waited with Susan and Ginger for the next bus to Trummelbach falls. We missed the first one by about 2 mins so it was a bit annoying. Once we got to the falls we got an elevator up to the first part. They are the only glacier waterfalls in Europe inside the mountain that are still accessible. It was quite hot after getting back down in the valley from the mountain and I still had all my gear on which was a bit annoying. They were really nice falls though but still just waterfalls. Once we finished looking we walked back to the hotel through some of the fields which were really nice and got ready for the swiss disco theme party that was on that night in the bomb shelter bar below the place we were staying. We had to wear all red and white like the Swiss flag. I had some drinks in the room with Lizard before we went downstairs so I was rather drunk when I got there. It was a really good night though. Was sad though that it was our last at a contiki rep site so it would mean the last of the parties with only our contiki group.
