Hi guys, here I am now in Lauterbrunnen
Lauterbrunnen is somewhere in the middle of Switzerland surrounded by snowy mountains called the Swiss Alps. One of the most famous mountains is called The Jungfrau. It's actually one of the three biggest mountains in Switzerland. The others are Münch and the Eiger (in English these mean monk, the ogre and the Jungfrau means young maiden). I don't really know why the Jungfrau is called the young maiden - it didn't really look like a young maiden to me.
The first day here we decided to take the Jungfraujoch up the jungfrau (the Jungfraujoch is the train up the Jungfrau). Because it was probably the only day we were in Switzerlamd where it wasn't raining and the sky was going to be clear, we knew this was the day to head on up. Every year 2 million people make their way up the mountain to see the breath-taking view that we saw. Some people get disappointed as they find when they come up the Jungfrau the clouds have already taken their place in the sky. We had amazing views.
Getting up the Jungfrau takes at least 2 hours up and 2 hours down. The view from the train was dazzling and people also go up the Jungfrau to see the views from the train. The train goes through the mountain so not much view for the last bit.
When we got to the Jungfrou A.K.A the top of Europe A.K.A a whole mountain full of awesomeness we walked down a big tunnel full of Amazing things. The first room we explored was a room where it seemed like you were in the images of the surrounding mountains that they projected on the wall. There was also an ice sculpture gallery with statues made of ice. They also had an outdoor section where you were on a platform with a glacier underneath you.
On the way back we stopped at a town called Kleine Schidegg were we went down to play in the snow. If you have never felt snow then I'll describe it. you know that mucky stuff you get when you mix corn flower and water? That except white, as cold as ice, hard and can be broken into little bits. That's what snow is. Anyway, we found that you can't just run through snow you have to watch out for hills. But it was to late, we had already fallen down One. Now when you are soaking wet and rolling around in the snow it's hard to not have fun. So we did.
When we got back you'd be surprised how tired I was.
And there's only one thing to do about that, and we did it.
Catch up with you next blog, bye.
