Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland

Switzerland was amazing!! from the moment we crossed the border the views were breath-taking. We stayed in a little village and were surrounded by the Alps. We took a train up to Jungfrau, which is the highest point you can get to by train in Europe. It was really steep and we went through the mountain, stopping every now and then to look at the view from windows carved out of the mountain. It was FREEZING when we got up there. We went the the Spinx, a look out point right up the top. Then we walked out onto a glacier, which was not too cold cause it was surrounded by higher peaks. Then we went out onto the plateau and it was so cold that I instantly got a headache! I wanted to go for a husky ride on the glacier, but they had stopped for the season, so I headed back down the mountain to check out the village. I am very glad i bought myself a jacket in Barcelona! even though it was cold, the air was so crisp and fresh, so it was lovely and the locals kept their beers cold by sitting them in the streams, so cute! Such a surprising and beautiful country.
