What an amazing day we just had. Left the room just after 9:00AM (we made breakfast here) and took a Cable Car up about 1500meters. Hiked for several hours. The view of the Jungfrau mountain and all the rest was breath taking. The first hour was tough go straight up hill..... but it leveled off somewhat and we were totally in awe of the cows and their bells going with the mountains dwarfing us.
We took another Cable Car up to 3000 meters to the Schilthorn after walking 5 hours. We were still dwarfed..... it was hard to believe. The view was amazing. We ventured down of the crest of the mountain off the platform. It was terrifiyingly exhilerating but scary at the same time. The crest was maybe 30 feet wide and a long way down on either side. It looked like we were on mars. The altitude made it hard to breath and you had to take your time.
After coming back down by Cable Car we went Gimmelwald. An amazing little town in the Alps of maybe 50-100 people, impossible to describe. We had a beer thier and met some Canadians and had a great chat with our waiter.
We took another cable car down to the bottom and landed about 7:00PM and had to walk 5.5KM back to Lauterbrunnen. We were to exhausted for words. Had a very late supper and are now laying bed.
It has to be one of the best days of my life. The scenery was beyond any words I could muster. The experience was unforgetable. I m happy my knees were good but we'll all be soar tomorrow.
We forgot to buy towels for the Hostel so we all showered and dried with T-shirts.
