Looking back from 2011:
After exploring numerous museums and cathedrals, Switzerland was a welcome change from manmade beauty to natural beauty. I remember cruising along a beautiful lake and feeling fortunate for good weather. Apparently Switzerland is often rainy.
My friend and I decided to pay a steep fee to go up the Jungfrau. I remember her saying something like, "It's only money. I can always make more, but I won't always be able to do this again." So, we seized the day and caught the train just before it took off. I remember this guy was super friendly and he or another German person was surprised when they heard my name and saying, "That's a place, not a person's name!" Well, I have proved them all wrong.
We made a wise choice. The ride up was stunning, and we were greeted by snow at the summit.
I bought one of around five items of my entire trip: two vintage-style posters of the junfrau.
Magnificent view with a couple adventurers
Just posin' with some Asian folk. They are totally defying any stereotypes seeing as I am the only one giving a peace sign.
Inside the ice palace
Chugging past bell bestrewn sheep and waterfalls. Our friends that didn't come with us hiked here.
Playing around the playground back at the base of the mountain. I remember there was a natural spring there.
We had some more time, so the gang and I hiked to "the prettiness." In other words, we had no idea where we were going, so we just walked to where it looked pretty. This was our strategy in numerous places.
Ice cream in the park after checking out some Swiss watches. I don't recall anyone buying anything.
